[To THU EDITOR OP THE " SPECTATOR.") SIR,—May I add

my suffrage to those who are thanking you for your articles on the suppression of the drink enrse? The course of events in Russia (Bee Fraser's book) proves that compulsory abstinence is the right thing, and, for my part, it has seemed to me that, ever since Mr. Lloyd George's crusade against the drink Was stifled by " the trade," things have gone wising with the national spirit. We were shown the Grail, but we did not follow.—I am, Sir, &o., J. V. WILLS, M.D.
