THE DEPUTY-LIEUTENANCY.
[To ram Emu's or ram "Braortroa."1 you be good enough to grant me a small space to draw attention to the fact that throughout the kingdom there exists a considerable body of gentlemen holding the position of Deputy-Lieutenants ? It appears to me as one of them, and to others outside, that little or no official use is being made of the Deputy-Lieutenants. They are generally men of capacity and influence, and it is somewhat strange that they should not have some specific work given to them in this time of national crisis. It cannot be doubted that all, no far as physically able, would be willing to exert themselves to the utmost in any direction, but they obviously want a lead, and that should be given by the War Office. I do not of course presume to say what the direction should be, but it appears to be a case calling for consideration by the authorities concerned.
