THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR THE EMPLOYMENT OF EX-SOLDIERS.
[TO THE EDrroR OF THE " SPECTATOR.")
enclose a short notice in connexion with the Annual Meeting of this Association, and beg to ask whether you will be so good as to insert it in your paper. In spite of unceasing exertions, since the war began, on the part of the Association, to establish a satisfactory solution to the great problem of the disposal of ox-soldiers on demobilization, the matter, owing to the want of a lead from the Government and the War Office, has not made the progress wished for. We therefore, as the largest Association dealing with the problem, urge the importance of further support being awarded us by the public, &a., in order that we may cope as adequately as possible with this important question.— " Lord George Hamilton will preside at the Annual Meeting of the National Association for the Employment of Ex-Soldiers, which, owing to the war, will this year be held at the head office of the Association, 119 Victoria Street, S.W., at 3 p.m., on May 25th. The figures on tho thirty-first Report show a total of over 172,000 men who have boon placed in permanent employment since its foundation in 1885. Up to March 31st, 1916, between four and five thousand disabled men have been placed in permanent employment by the Association from the commencement of the war."
