NOBILITY AT THE FRONT.
The noble families ot Britain are again playing a prominent part in the present crisis. The young Earl of Leven and Melville has been badly wounded. The Earl of Plymouth’s son, the Hon. Archer Clive, is also seriously wounded. Neither of these men is yet 25 years old. Two wellknown Highlanders, Lord Love.t and Cameron of Lochiel, are raising corps to take their place in the fighting. Royalty is represented by two of our boy Princes. Prince Albert, who was serving on the Collingwood, but has been invalided, and the Prince of Wales, who is serving in the Grenadiers. Prince Arthur of Connaught, too, is, it is understood, going to the front. Lord Derby's success as a recruiting officer has been splendid ; but scarcely less notable is that of Lord Methuen, who has been addressing meetings throughout Wiltshire almost incessantly since Earl Kitchener called for his first 100,000 men. The great difference is that Lord Methuen has no large population like that of Liverpool to appeal to. His work lies among the small towns and villages, Wiltshire being too truly rural to possess any town of anything near first-rate importance.
