LORD ELMO ON THE RELATIONS OF VOLUNTEER
IFFICERS AND PRIVATES. —Lord Eleho has ad-
reseed the following letter to the editor of the .71adding-
,nshire Courier :—" Amisfield, Oct. 25.—Sir,—In the
ladclington Courier of Friday last reference is made to the
Let of. your having been precluded from dining at the
Mears' mess of the East-Lothian Rifle Volunteers, on the
evasion of the inspection of the regiment, in consequence of
our having appeared there in the uniform cf a private
f the corps, Having myself had the honour Cf dining
t the mess on the occasion referred to, and having at
be time heard of the circumstance of your exclusion, I
egretted then, as I regret now, that the rules of the
ill' 8: mess exclude privates of the corps in uniform.
lly of ject, howeNer, in now writing is not to find fault with
uks laid down by gentlemen by whom I have been
opiniontheta I hold
hat ivolunteer eervice an officers' mess is a mistake.
/,,ppity, all social grades, from dukes to mechanics and
gricultural labourers, are to be found in our ranks, but a
olunteer's position in the force does not depend on his posi-
ion in society. There are men serving in the ranks who
re
tation socially the equals,
the officers in many cases even the superiors, in
under whom they serve.
when on duty, the strictest discipline is maintained by
.olunteers, and privates, no matter what their social posi-
ion may be, always pay ready obedience to those placed in
uthortty over them. But when cff duty, when mixing
oeially together, military distinctions should be at an end;
be uniform of the private should not be barred where that
f the officer is free. Such at least, I venture to hink.
hould be the rule of the service so far as regards our-sotal
ntercourse, and such generally I believe it to be. The
ttlast Lothian Yeomanry Cavalry have a mess, at which
Ilex I have been hospitably entertained; but, if I am not
Mistaken, it is not an officers' mess.' And in the interests
)f the East Lothian Rifle Volunteers, whose well-being 1
have much at hcart, I would gladly see every member of
he corps who chooses to pay for his dinner free to dine at
'he regimental rgess,—l em, ELCUO,"
