Millard's letter in your issue of Friday last rejrardin;* Mr. Array's lecture delivnred on Sunday evenin. TTie point o\ the letter is that Mr. <Jray accused a returned eoMie-r. residing in Pe.tone. of sexual nssault. As Mr. Cray's representative in thia city I have consulted him, and lie denies any reference to the man as bcinjr a renirned soldier. 1 have also re-r«ad the extended report in the daily papers, and can find no such statement there. T have still further interropited the Hon. €eo. Fowlds, the chairman off the evening, and a number of persons who were present, and all unite in emphatically denying that Mr. Gray referred to the offender as a. returned soldier. He said he was a man who had lost his manhood beeamse of drink. ' It is therefore llr. Mflhird's responei--3 bility that this man has been revealed as ' a returned eoldier, and I sincerely regret i that he should endeaA-onr to blame the Dominion Organieer of the Prohibition Canrpaijrn for thai for wliich he alone is responsible. But will Mr. Millard deny the fact ' that liquor, and not shell-shock, was •'responsible for this man's condition and 6 misconduct? Will he deny that liquor is l | the prime cause in a majority of finch 1 sad eases? Tie cannot, lie should there- * fore, if he be a true Britisher, remove 9 the cause of offence from the way of the men whose cause he seeks to champion. I am. etc., W. H.
