THE WA/TER MILITANT.
[To THE EDITOR OF THE " SPECTATOR:]
Sra,—How is it that all thgse men waiters are here carrying tea round, lighting ladies' cigarettes—and our sons at the front ? Surely women could do this, and men are wanted. I wonder if you dare publish this—I am, Sir, &c., Trns MOTHER Or A Max AT THE FRONT.
[We expect that the waiters in question were either friendly or neutral aliens, or else were attested and in the group system or rejected as medically unfit. If not, the Government Bill will soon put the matter right. It must, however, be said in fairness to the English waiter and the English manservant that no class shows a finer record in the way of recruiting. They went at once and without any pressure, the club waiters being among the keenest. In many dubs, indeed, every eligible man was accounted for in the first six months of the war.— —En. Spectator.]
