READ LORD KITCHENER'S SISTER'S LETTER.

THEN DECIDE WHO MISREPRESENTS KITCHENER, A SOBER ARMY. . (To the Editor.) Sir,— Yesterday, my brother, Lord Kitchener, wade an appeal to the public asking that all who desire the efficiency and well-being of our troops would refrain from treating them to "drinks" or setting temptation before them. I quote from Tiia yofdj; The men who hays recently joined the colours are doing their utmost to prepare theipselves for. active service . with 'the least ppssible delay. This ' result can only Be achieved if by hard Work and ptrjct sobriety they keep themselves thoroughly fit arid healthy. Lord. Kitchener appeals to the public, both men and women, to help the 16pldier8 in l;heir task. May'l. as- his sister, supplement this appeal -by asking ' the nten themselves •whether they will or not, during the period of'tlje war, Abstain frpm "all in, except' Vhen' such are orderpd by' ft'dp'ctorf I think I am in saying that in no way could their give my brother a truer proof of'their loyalty to his wishes than by mining thie prpmise. ftj .I also suggest that if the same pledge were taken by thoso left behind, then the men who Tiave rallie<l to the colours would Tbe linked to their wives, parents, and families'at home by a bond which would be for the good of all.
