(To von Eorron or tag "SPECTATOR."] Sia,—I hesitate to add
to the hundreds of letters you meat be receiving, but it is a real relief to one's painful anxiety about our war graves to add another mother's protest, and also to thank you most deeply for taking up the matter. Those small crosses have lived in our hearts through these dark years, and now that happiness and peace arc returning to the world. won by the sacrifice of those splendid young lives, one would think that the symbol of sure and certain hope, and of sacrifice, might be left to mark the graves which belong to ass. as much our own as if they were in England. A few simple regulations as to size would preserve the essential idea of eluality of sacrifice, but beyond that one cannot acknowledge a right to add this pain to that which we must in any ease
bear to the end of our lives.—I am, Sir, de., L. W.
