LORD ROBERTS WARNS
THE ENGLISH PEOPLE
That at Present Time a German Army
Could Invade England.
I.on<Ion. November 24.—Speaking in
turns.- of lords last night. Field Mar-
t.ahl I>ir.l Roberts expressed the coll-
tin inn that the lack of a military
fore.- sufficient to make hopeless the
attempt of an invasion would, in all
probability, lie the cause of the loss of
Great Britain's supremacy at sea. He
(ointed out the comparative ease with
which Germany could land an arm
on the shores of England. I'mler the
present conditions England would be
ioreed. he sai.l. to submit to most hu
miliating demands.
lie disclaimed all hostility to or fear
of Germany, hut he declared that the
defense of the islands required im
mediate attention. There should bt
an assembly so strong in numbers
an i efficient in quality that the most
formidable of foreign nations would
hesitate in making a landing in Eng
land. lie hail ascertained, the speak
er continued, that vessels callable of
accommodating 200.000 men always
were available in the northern ports
of Germany, and that as a result of
the new German service law 200,000
mm. could lie collected In the districts
of the nearest port without any trott
hie.
"It would he folly," declared Lord
Roberts, "to shut our eyes to these
possibilities, however much peace Is'
desired. The startling events in the
near east have brought home to the
most careless observer that nothing
could save that country which Is not
prepared to protect itself .
"If Great Britain continues to neg
lect the most ordinary precautions,
she may some day find herself in the
hands of the invader and forced to
submit to the most humiliating con
ditions. This danger is daily becom
ing threatening. Within a decade Ger
many has created the greatest sea
power that ever existed, except Great
Britain’s, and at the present moment
it is formidable. Measures are being
taken to increase that power. It Is
calculated that there are 80,000 Ger
mans in employment in Great Britain.
They are trained soldiers, and if
German force once landed on these
shores they would be ready to help.”
The main temptation to the inva
sion of Great Britain was the want of

In reply to an inquiry the state
treasurer says that he “does not ar
rogate to himself infallibility in any
predictions that be may have made
in regard to the probable conditions
of the treasury on account of the huge
appropriations that have been madie
for schools, pensions and other pur
poses, and because of the withdrawal
of a large part of the income from the
state by recent legislation.” He said
that he “did not have a mind at all in
clined to controversy, especially
where It concerned the financial mat
ters of the state.” His words recently
spoken were intended as a caution, as
a warning, and to prepare the public
mind for a deficit which he trusts sin
cerely may not come to pass. For nine
years he has been watching carefully

ury of Georgia, and at this time there
Is only *06,216.54, *50,000.00 of which
is borrowed money, leaving really in
the treasury, as the result of taxes
and other sources of Income, only
*16,216.34. with several warrants due
before the close of the month. He
says that "in December the largest
part of the income of the state should
come Into the treasury,” and that
