ARMS - AND THE MAN. [To 7H7 EDITOR or SUS " Ele7C7.1.708...]

Srn,—Tbe enemy is only fifty miles from England. Those who cannot help to make munitions or turn recruiting sergeant can help the Imperial Maritime League in its educational rural recruiting campaign, carried out with the approval of the Army Council under the supervision of the district recruiting officers by means of vans, lantern-slides, and speakers. Experience shows that it gets the man. To con- tinue and develop its work it badly needs money. Cheques should be made payable to the Imperial Maritime League, crossed "Lloyds," and sent to the Hon. Secretary, 2 West- minster Palace Gardens, Victoria Street, S.W.—I am, Sir, LL. W. LONGSTAFF. Wimbledon.

[We sincerely trust that this good work will have the support of the readers of the Spectator. Our own record in regard to recruiting is one of which we have a right to be proud. We began early in the war to ask for a scientific muster and array of the national resources in men.—En. Spectator.]
