Sin,—The writer of the enclosed note is Judge Emile Henry Lacombe, who has a national reputation as a jurist, has occupied many important positions, and also served as a. private in the Northern Army in our Civil War. I hope you will find a place for it in the columns of the Spectator. I am sending it with his permission.—I am, Sir, Sal, J. WILLIAM WHITH.

"Betnest, Athens-on-Irudson, New York, Dr. J. W1LLIAX Warms. Aug. 30th, 1915.
Dimus Sne—I wish to thank you for your admirable presentation of the present position of this country in the eyes of the world, or of that portion of it for whose good opinion most of us care. Certainly unless there comes some change a future trip abroad to France or England will be a cheerless experience ; one will always have the consciousness that the community he is visiting looks askance at him as one of the people who in this terrible time thought only of the almighty dollar, and strove only to achieve 'neutrality in thought'—a result attainable in its perfeo- tion only by protoplasm.—I remain, sincerely yours, E. 11.BNILY Lawton."
