Lord Roberts, we learn froma London despatch, breaks the
silence he has maintained since his famous Manchester speech by
4 vigorous letter in the Manchester Guardian. He explains that
he is so much accustomed to adverse criticism in his efforts to
arouse the nation to a sense of its unpreparedness for war as not to
resent in any way the attacks of his opponents, but nevertheless FE
he feels bound to answer what he describes as a complete miscon- ||\€
struction by the Guardian of the salient passage in his speech. 3

“It is true,’’ he says, “I pointed out the striking process by

” which Germany developed from a loose coterie of petty federated
‘states to a united empire, which’ arouses the admiration of the
- world today. But to urge thatI am urging upon Britain that it
should be her policy first to arm herself better than Germany and
then make war on Germany, with or without just: cause or even
quarrel, simply because Britain thinks herself at that moment able
