THE PACIFICIST VISION IN AMERICA.

[To TEl EDITOR OP THE "SPECTATOR.") Sin,—The article in your last issue on "The Pacificiet Vision in America" is yet another proof of the patient friendliness which the Spectator has always shown towards American feeling, even when that feeling has manifested itself in expressions widely different from those of any serious European mind. I feel, however, that in protesting against the pacificist song which you quoted I am speaking for many American women who, although they love peace much, can still love honour more. The daughters and great-granddaughters of the men who fought at Gettysburg and Bunter Hill Would not hesitate to send off their " darling boys" to fight in a righteclus cause, and to uphold the dignity of their country as their fittliera did before them.--1 am, Sir, &o.,

AN AMERICAN WOMAN.
