(To THE EDITOR OF THE "SPECTATOR."] SIR,—Your article on this
subject in the Spectator of March 28th will commend itself to all those who are inter- ested in the organisation for defensive purposes of the latent strength of the nation. It is most satisfactory to learn that a Corps of Guides is actually being formed, and it is to be hoped the movement will spread over the whole country. It has occurred to me that the members of "harrier" and "cross- country" clubs would form most useful members of such corps. As a member for several years of the Edinburgh University Hare and Hounds I know what an intimate know- ledge of the surrounding country it is possible to acquire. Such clubs abound in all our cities and towns, and as they are all affiliated to a central Union either in England or Scotland, there should be no difficulty in getting into touch with them. —Trusting that this suggestion may be of some use, I am, Sir, &c., ALISTER S. FRASER. 332 Blackness Road, Dundee.
