TO CHECK THE WHITE SLAVE TRAFFIC.

[TO THE EDITOR OF TEE " SPECTATOR." .1 Sts,—In Switzerland no one can take even a short journey by train without learning of the existence of agencies for the protection of young girls, with their addresses in all the im- portant towns. In England it is not one traveller in a thousand who is aware that such agencies as the Girls' Friendly and the Travellers' Aid Society exist. Why ? Be- cause in Switzerland every railway carriage is provided with the necessary information, and this is conspicuously posted up. Could not the same thing be done in England ? It would effect more than some more ambitious reforms.
