IS, The death of Field Marshal F.arl Roberts, which occurred last evening at the headquarters ot the British expeditionary forces tn France, we extremely audden. He was In hi usual good health when he left England Wednesday with hla daughter. . Lady Alleen Roberta, and hla son-in-law. Major Lewro. The party had a routf! trip crossing the channel, but the aged xeneral telt no til cffecta and went through wltb hla program on the conti nent. In fact, he was about to return home when death occurred. , Earl Roberta had motored to the Brit ish bases and cam pa, had reviewed the Indian troops and. had conferred vlth the leading officers. It was not until about dinner time Friday evening that he complained of a alight chill. As he wa subject to trifling ;hest troubles, ha fol lowed his usual course and went to bed early. Relieved of Pala. As his temperature increased, medical men were called In and pronounced hla condition critical. They relieved the gen eral of hla pain and he fell asleep. His death occurred during sleep. The passing of the great warrior res created profound grief throughout, the country. At all churches and in the sol diers' training camps touching references were made to his death today. In a telegram to Lady Roberts, Field Marshal Sir John French, In the name of the army serving In France, expressed deep sympathy, saying: "Your grief Is shared by us, who mourn the loss ot a much loved chief. As he was called, It seems fitting to the ending of the life of a great soldier that he should have passed away In the midst of the troops he loved 'so well and within the sound oi ine guns." ,. Surprise la Baa-land. The news of the death of Lord Robe-As came aa an entire surprise to England. The veteran's devotion to the Interests of the army, his hard Work in this con nection and his seeming good health had been the subject of comment since the beginning of the war. He was the most popular military figure in Great Britain and a national hero without rival In the affections of the people." . Despite his years, he had never ceased hard work alnce his nominal retirement, and, as he had often remarked, he lived a rigidly abstemious life, that he might preserve his strength for the service of his country. ., " During the last five or six- years, when the German war cloud had been grow- ' ing, he prosecuted an active campaign to perauade the nation to adopt a com pulsory military service. Hla belief was - that Great Britain required the training of the whole male population In arms rather on the plan of Switzerland than the longer terms of conscription enforced in the case of continental military tie4 ' ' " Vrn-es Military Training;.

Lord Roberts commanded noue of the arts of the orator and usually read his speeches. His Oopular nickname "isobs" Implied no lack'of personal dig nity.
