We are very glad to be able to inform our
readers that we have received permission to reprint the noble Address by Mr. Lansing whioh was published in the Spectator of September 17th last. The Address was originally delivered by tho American Secretary of State to the Reserve Officers' Training Corps at Madison Barracks, New York. It is a treasure-house of lofty and inspiring thought. As wo said at the time, we do not suppose that the officers of any army, in any country, at any period in history, took up arms with higher moral credentials than are provided in Mr. Lansing's Address. We wish that every young soldier, and particularly every young officer, could mad Mr. Lansing's words. As numerous corre- spondents have written to us urging us to reprint the Address, we now have much satisfaction in informing them that copies can be obtained at the rate of a penny each post free from Messrs. Speaight and Sons, 98-99 Fetter Lane, E.C. 4. Not less than three copies can be supplied. All communications upon the subject should be addressed to Messrs. Speaight. It is particularly re- quested that no applications should be sent to the Spectator office.
