(To vas EDITOR OF THE " SPECTATOR.") SIR,—In your issue of May 5th, in an article entitled "The Prime Minister's Survey," the Prime Minister is reported to have stated at the Guildhall that "before June, 1915, we had lost eighty-four guns and many prisoners and had captured no guns." The first guns captured by the British were taken at Beau, at the battle of the Marne, on September 9th, 15.14, when a German battery was captured by the 2nd Company of the 1st Lincolnshire Regiment.—
