NATIONAL SERVICE.
[To THE EDITOR 01P THE "SPECTATOR.") SIE,—I hope that you will permit me to express through the medium of your columns my gratitude to the many citizens of all ranks who have responded so promptly and in such a patriotic manner to the appeal made by the National Service League in last Saturday's issue of the Spectator. I desire to make a personal and urgent appeal to my fellow-citizens to support the National Service League in its effort to convert the nation to the great truth that it is the duty of every able. bodied man to defend his country, and that in order to perform this duty he must be trained in time of peace.
-The National-Service League is a non-party organisation; It places country before party. The numerous replies to our appeal show that there is a large and increasing number of men and women who realise that the safety of their country is of greater moment than any mere party triumph.
I urge all those who have not yet expressed their opinion on this momentous question to do so without delay by forward- ing their name and address to the secretary, National Service League, 72 Victoria Street, S.W.—I am, Sir, &e.,
ROBERTS, F.M.
