ROBERTS SHOOTS HIS PRISONERS
Lord Roberts is going in for revenge rather strong.
He ordered shot the young Boer officer who conspired with others to abduct him. If Lord Roberts had been abducted does he believe the Boers would have shot him? Tacitus has said something somewhere about an army creating a solitude, and the people at home said 'peace now reigns in the warlike country.' Does Lord Roberts find he cannot attain peace in the Transvaal save by exterminating Boer officers?
