Though the name of Lieutenant - Color Percival , youngest son of the Bishop of Her ford , has not yet appeared in the official l of those killed at the front , confirmation the sad event has been received at the Pala Hereford , in a letter from an officer brie describing the circumstances under whi the gallant officer met his death . It see he was with Major - General Monro and other members of the staff of the Second D ision of the First Army Corps , who were co sulting together in a house , when a Germ shell fell on the building , shattering it . no mention is made of other casualties it m be presumed that Col. Percival was the o member of the staff to receive fatal injuri The whole staff , however , must have had very narrow escape . The name of the pla for obvious reasons , is not mentioned . Widespread and general is the sympat extended to the venerable Bishop of He ford in the bereavement he is called upon suffer . TEMPTATION TO SOLDIERS . Lord Roberts has issued the following ter for publication : - Sir , Will you kindly allow me to make appeal to my countrymen and women upo most vital subject which is causing me v great uneasiness ? All classes in the Uni Kingdom are showing a keen interest in forces engaged in the struggle now going for our country's existence as a nation , they are being munificent in their efforts supply the wants of our gallant soldiers But I feel it sailors fighting abroad . duty to point out to the civil population t putting temptation in the way of our sold by injudiciously treating them to drink is jurious to them and prejudicial to our chan of victory . Thousands of young recruits now collected together in various places , are having their work interfered with their constitutions undermined by be tempted to drink by a friendly , but thoug less public , and also by the fact that pul houses are kept open to a late hour of night . cannot believe that the owners of s houses are less patriotic and more self - se ing than their fellow subjects or that t would , deliberately , for the sake of gain , vent our soldiers being sufficiently trained body and nerve to enable them to unde the strain of the arduous service which is fore them - a strain which only the stron physically and morally can be trusted to dure . I , therefore , beg most earnestly that p cans , in particular , and the public gene will do their best to prevent our young iers being tempted to drink . My appeal plies equally for the members of the ove contingents who have so generously and selfishly come over here to help us in hour of need ; and while extending to the hearty British welcome , no temptation to cess may be put in the way of these sol of the King - men whom the nation del to honour which will tend to lower the the eyes of the world .
