In a letter which appeared recently in the "Manchester Guardian," the writer makes the following observations: —I have recently returned from Spalding, in Lincolnshire, whore 1 learn there aro several soldiers in the hospital doubled up, not with bullet-wounds, but suffering from a foo almost as terrible—namel.v, acute rheumatism—acquired whilst-fighting in the wet and cold trenches. As long as our men wear such very impracticable footgear as they do at present the lives and future health of many valuable soldiers and citizens will not only be jeopardised but also irreparably ruined. • It is not possible for the Government —the richest Government in Europe—to supply our brave soldiers with good sound Wellington or top boots? Putties are no good for a campaign in Flanders, although they may bo excellent for India or Cochin China. They cannot keop out the wet or the damp, and sooner or later the soldiers who wear this impracticable kind of footgear must suffer very seriously in health. .
