AN APPRECIATION

SIR,—May I be allowed to say how much I appreciated Brigadier Frere's article which appeared in your issue of January loth? It was the best and clearest exposition of the situation in the Middle East I have so far read. I hope it will be taken into consideration by all those interested in the subject, which should include every elector in the country.—I have the honour to be, yours faithfully, E. L. SPEARS. 164 St. Stephens House, Westminster, S.W. i.
