THE VOLUNTEER CORPS.
[To rem Erma or Ter P Srzerwroa."] Sur,—Only the authorities know what chance there still is of an invasion, and what part, if any, the Volunteer Corps would be called upon to play in that contingency. The rest of us are remembering that hay and harvest will be shortly on us, that the country has to meet a grave deficiency in agricultural labour, and that we have in the Volunteer Corps a reserve of some four hundred thousand more or less organized men ready to do their best in any national emergency that may arise. Few of these men will take, I suspect, their ordinary holiday this year, and many of them, I am sure, would be glad to spend it serving their country in the fields. But if the thing is to be done, and well done, it needs organizing at ones.—.I am, Sir, &C., ALFRED OLLIVANT.
