  .following text written on a colourful sketch picture of a Dispatch-rider

  
  

  Arnold Bennett,
  

  August 6, 1914
  

  An officer came
  

  yesterday to compain of
  

  a fox terrier (ours?)
  

  which flew at dispatch-
  

  riders on motor bicycles.
  

  He said it would be shot
  

  if found loose. These
  

  dispatch-riders are the
  

  most picturesque feature
  

  of the war. They rush
  

  through the village at
  

  speeds which are said
  

  to be up to 50 miles
  

  an hour. I am willing to
  

  concede 40.
