A petition signed by profes- sional men, commercial travellers, appren- tices, bank chirks, quarrymen, and others has been sent to the Cambrian Railways Company appealing for a passenger train to be run in the winter months from Min- ffordd and Pwllheli between the hours of five and six in the evening. The peti- tioners point out that there is no tram running between 3.30 and 6.20 and suggest it the appeal is entertained that the new train should be run to connect with the L. and N.W. train which leaves Afonwen for Pwllheli at 6.10 p.m. Sunk by a Cruiser News readied i ort- madoc on Friday that rlio British steamer "Indian Prince'*had been sunk by-German auxili;arveruiser, the "Kronpnnz W lihelm .nd Lliit the crew had been transferred to two German steamers and landed at Santos, Brazil.

Owain Hughes, Ksqrs Mr. William .G'eorg-e said in the event of the Bench deciding to consider the question cf the earlier closing of public houses during the war lie should like the public to bo notified so that they might make repre- sentations should they so wish.—The Bench said they would consider the matter at the next Court when the Chief Constable would be present Rowland W. Owen, Morfa Bvchan, charged by P.C. 56 with drunkenness, was bound over for six months to be of good behaviour. A CALL TO ARMS. STIRRIN(T"SPEECHES. A recruiting meeting was held at the Tmvn Hall on Friday night. The Hall was literally peeked and all the speakers were given a rousing reception and their speeches were followed with close atten- tion. Sergeant Williams, Carnarvon, who fought in the battle of Mons and is in- valided home, was given a great ovation when mention was made that he was on the platform. Another ovation was given him wheu he rose to speak. The interior of the Hall was artistic ally decorated with the national colours, and on the platform were ministers of the Gcsnel, local magis- trates members of the local authorities. and prominent townspeople. The secre- tarial arrangements for the meeting were undertaken by Mr. David Breese, clerk of magistrates.. Mr.Jtihn E. Greaves, lord lieutenant of Carnarvonshire, who presided said We have assembled here in obedience to that spirit of patriotism which has swept the iiritislj Empire from end to end in this hour of England's peril. (Cheers). The white paper .compiled by Sir Edward Grev, and the nobie and eloquent speeches re- cently delivered by Mr. Atsquith, h. Lloyd George, Mr. Winston Churchill, Lord Lans- downe (cheers)—and other eminent statesmen have demonstrated beyond the shadow of a doubt the character of the terrible war which has been forced upon us and the objects for which we are fight- ing. It has been proved to be a war of -■deliberate a%d calculated aggression on the part of the. German Empire—(cheers) —a. war which has had its origin in a cruel and barbarous cult of material militarism which holds that might is right, whose god is Moloch, and whose treed is blood and iron. (Cheers). The. motive of it all has IK en the insane .ambition of a self-styled super-man to dominate the whole of Europe and all the world beside. (Cheers). To accomplish that end the German Emperor has with cynical contempt trodden under foot every law, both human and divine. It is an ambition which., is successful, will -destroy all liberty, will make civilisation impossible, and will banish Christianity it- (Cheers). It lias, therefore, become imperative not only in our own interests, but in the wider interests of humanity and civilisation that this; upas tree should be torn up root and branch till there is not a ••bred of it left. (Cheers). This malignant fgrowth has, however, established itself all 'too firmly in German soil and it will neces- sitate a long and terrible struggle to finally uproot it. I do not think the country at large, and particularly Wales, has fully .realised the gigantic task we and our allies have undertaken and the difficulties and ■dangers which beset us. That task is no less than to put it out of the power of Germany ever again to disturb the peace .of the world. (Cheers). It is a task which demands the whole, the sustained, -the concentrated and determined effort of the allied nations and the persistent bull- tenacity of the British race. If v, e falter or fail we now. know what the eon- .sf^fuences will be. It will mean an inva- sion of our shores, when murder, rapine and arson, will stalk unchallenged through -the 'land and civilisation, as we know it, will'be no more. In short, this country is ct this moment engaged in a. life-and- vieafh struggle on which our own well-being, nay, our very existence, depends. (Cheers).

PEWKHYNBEUDRAETH. I SPECIAL SESSIONS, Thursday, September 24th. Before H. J ones-Morris, K W. Kirkby, T W Jones, Robert Richards, R. G. Pritchard, Moses Kellow, John Griffiths, R. T. Williams, Esqrs. Licensing Clerk drew attention to a circular from the Home Office, pointing out the powers conferred oji magistrates acting on the initiative of the Chief Constable to make further regu- lations for the limitation of hours of public houses during war time, Festiniog Urban Council and the local branch of the Women's Temperance Association as well as Mr. William George supported the circular..— 'Hie Chief Constable, Mr. Richard Jones, on being appealed to, said he had made inquiries from hifi ofiiecrsin the district who reports-d that the condi- tions were normal. Personally he Avotild be glad to have all public houses and clubs closed from 9 p.m. to 9 a.m., or if the legislature took steps to deal equally all around by a general hw; but speaking as an official in view of the circular which seemed to have been drawn out to meet the prevalence of drunkenness in special circumstances he failed to see that it was his duty to advise the Bench to take further steps. The law as it stood and the letters he received from the Home Office in answer to his request for their guidance were for the Bench itself to con- sider and act upon Mr.- John Humphreys objected to his friend, Mr. George, en- deavouring to prevail upon the Chief Con- stable to bring pressure on the Bench to do what he, the responsible officer, felt there was no nerd to do, to harras a legiti- mate trade further The Bench retired and, oh their re-entry, the Chairman an- nounced that in view of the Chief Con- stable's position and advice, the Bench de- clined to take any further steps. Appointment The Bench appointed their Clerk, Mr. J. Jones-Morris, as- col- lector under the new regulations governing bastardy order contributions. The Clerk, accepting the position, said he was pracri- cally discharging the'duties already with- out acknowledgment. (Laughter). Drunk in Charge Hugh Roberts, Tvnewydd, Treflys, farmer, was charged by P.S. Evans with having been drunk in charge of a horse and cart at Maentwrog on Saturday. He considered accused unfit to be left, in charge and brought him down with him to Penrhyn, when defend- ant expressed a desire to be examined by a medical man who reported unfavourably. He was subsequently released on bail Defendant, in reply to the charge, craved the pardon of the Bench. Henad never called for the attenticn of the police until that occasion when ho .was more ex- cited than drunk. He was still excited; his nerves were quite up ",pt. (Laughter). He promised that he would never trouble the Bench again Mr. Kirkby said the offence was a serious one. With all the motor traffic there was danger enough on the roads without having carts in charge of drunken men The Bench, in view of defendant's contrition, dismissed the case on payment of 19,. costs, including the doctor's fee. Cycling Offence P.S. Evans summoned Llewelyn Roberts, Tanyrardd, for riding a bicycle without, light on September 6rd. Defendant was riding behind another eyet'st who had a light on his machine— A fine of 5s. 6d. and costs was imposed. Dog Cases P.C. N. Davies summoned Mr. K. V. Moore, The Moorings, and John Allsopp. St. David's Hotel, Harlech, for keeping a dog each without a licence. De- fendanis did not appear, but wrote letters. V fine of 7s. 6d. and 7s. 6d. costs in each case was imposed. Neighbours at V a nance Much interest was manifested in a cross-summons for assault by E, R. Owen, Tymawr, Llanhedr, gentieman farmer, against Griffith Griffiths, Moelfrc-terrace, Llanbedr, carrier, and Evan Griffiths, his son. Defendants issued cress summonses against Mr. Owen for assault.—Mr John Humphreys, Portmadoe, appeared for Mr. E. It. Owen and Mr. William George (Messrs. Lloyd George and George) for the defendants Mr. Humph- reys in opening the case said that on August 26th about mid-day his client was standing on the bridge at Llanbedr when he heard a dispute between William Jones, a witness who would be called, and the de- fendants. The parties proceeded quarrel- ling towards Tymawr, Mr. Owen's house. He followed homewards. Suddenly Griffith Griffiths turned and accused Mr. Owen also of ing told lies about him. When Tvmuwr gate the elder defendant tprned and struck him heavily with- a stick on the head. 1\h. Oven turned to deprive Griffiths of the stick. Theyounger defendant then came up and held his- arms, while the father belaboured him with the stick on the head. Mr. Owen was beaten almost to unconsciousness. He managed to call for assistance when Wil- liam Jones and Thomas Jones arrived aud assisted to separate the parties, previous to which the elder assailant bit Mr. Owen's hand severely, hanging on to it with all his mieht. He (Mr. Humphreys) hoped the Bench would agree that it was high time to put down that ruffianism in the vitiate. Mr. E. H. Owen confirmed the opening statement. He was proceeding homewards peaceably. He heard Griffiths quarelling with William Jones and using terrible language. Griffiths then turned to w itness and said, "They are telling lies about you, too, Mr. Owen." Witness re- plied "1 do not care what they say" and went on. When near his yard gate, Grif- fiths was abusing him with his tongue. Witness turned and said: "If you ,want anything with me come inside instead of bothering me like this." Witness then turned round and Griffiths struck him heavily with the stick, following up that blow with several others of a heavier character. The younger defendant pinned his arms from the back and prevented him from defending himself. He was struck down in the retaining wnlt. He did not know how often he was struck as he was partly unconscious; but the marks of teeth were on his hand yet, and his head was often painful and his memory had In- come defective as a result of the treat- ment In reply to Mr. George, he ad- mitted that be. bad not been on friendly terms with defendants for about fifteen years. lie denied challenging Griffiths to I come into the yard to settle the matters between them, neither did he get hold of defendant by the throat and try to throttle him. He went in when called from the bouse. —Thomas Jones, Bwthyn, Penrallt, ¡- said he had some differences with Griffiths that day. Griffiths followed him and hi;; son homewards blackguarding them in strong terms. Later, he saw Mr. Owen following. He then saw Griffiths strike Mr Owen on the heed with the stick, rather a heavy one. He struck several blows. He did not see Mr. Owen trying to throttle Griffiths. As far as he could judge, Evan .Griffiths held to Mi*. Owen as if to separate them.- -In reply to Mr. George, witness said he was not near enough to the parties to hear how the dispute started. The first blow was struck near Mr. Owen's yard gate.—Thomas Jones, the previous witness's son, gave similar evidence Mr. William George said he would call evidence directly contrary to the story already given, when it would bo shown that Mr. Owen was the aggressor. He submitted that, according to the evidence of the other side, the son was entitled to an acquittal as it was admitted that he had only tried suc- cessfully to separate them. The whole thing happened because Mr. Owen was ill- advised enough to interfere in a quarrel that did not concern him in the least, especially as he was not on friendly terms with the defendants. His case was that Mr. Owen called out, when opposite his own gate to Griffiths, who was in an ex- cited state, a remark that was practicilly I a challenge to settle old scores Griffith Griffiths, an elderly man, said the row started with William Jones. Mr. Owen was close by listening to the row. When the parties went towards Tymawr, Mr. Owen followed. Witness was going that way to his work as he had a cart carrying stone. Mr. Owen took up a threatening attitude towards witness and said, "Come in Gitto that yon may have it .for what happened the other day. (Laughter). Wit- ness replied "That lie would not enter his dirty place." CHore laughter). Mr. Owen then banged the door and rushed at witness trying to wrest his stick from him. Mr. Owen got hold of his shirt collar causing the buttons to fly. (Laughter). His son then came up and held Mr. Owen while witness regained his feet. Mr Owen rushed at him several times. Witness had several marks on bis body. He believed Mr. Owen would have killed him on the ground were it not for his son's timely j assistance. In reply to Mr. Humphrevs, | witness said Mr. Owen had no stick. His son and the other two men were not far away when Mr. Owen challenged him to I corne mto the yard. He did not know what Mr. Owen meant to give him if he had gone, in but lie did not think it was l a pren(Laughter). had no teeth to bito Mr. Owen s hand. it was more than they could do to bit his food. (Laughter). Mr. Owen went in when he was called into the house Evan Griffith denied categorically having assaulted Mr. Owen. All he sought to do was to separ- ate him and his father. They closed, several times after he separated them.-— In reply to Mr. Humphreys, witness said he stood between them separating them by each hand In reply to the Bench, wit- ness said Mr. Owen held his father down on a low wall, not on the ground..—After deliberating, the Bench dismissed the sum- mons against Evan Griffiths, also the counter complaint by Evan Griffiths against Mr. Owen. 1 hey found Griffith Griffiths guilty of assault and fined him j35 5s. and costs, a total of £ 5 3s.- He was also bound over to keep, the peace for twelve months in the sum of L20,

DOLGELLEY. THE LATE MR. HARRY WilMOT LiE. "One Who Knew Him" writes of Me Harry Wilm-ot Lee, of Dolgenilyn, whosei death occurred last week—When a man passes away from the midst of his fellows in a quiet countryside the event causes much comment. What he wac what lie did the success, he achieved or his failure the happiness he gave or trouble to those around him: his dealings with other men and the friends he left behind—all these are weighed and judgment passed accord- ingly. Men deal leniently with those who have crossed the border, remembering,, perhaps, the coming time when their own lives will call for gentle reckoning at the. su' vivois hands. But I have m my he-art tho memory of' one wito who needs no such indulgence, for no report of hint could be. so sweet as truth itself. A mans reputa-' tion is a subtle thing. It grows, it spreads, it is everywhere, in spite of him-, self. But he never so guarded, never so skilled in acting so as to create a desired j impression, reputation laughs at. these dis_, guises, shakes them off, shows the man as, he really is. Ho becomes popular or the! reverse, however he may try. Harry Lee. never tried. A man o £ good deeds but <1f few words, thev came straight and warm' from his keen mind and big heart. What, are the usual grounds of the ^golden opinion a man leaves behind. Tnat -1f>, was open-handed, liberal in his gifts. But liberality brings its own reward in imbu once and oower and is not always s-en-- denying, that he never harmed a soul- Many never get- the chance. -it he did, not seek advantage at the cost of others-?^ Few are clever enough to do it. That lie. did not push or advertise himself ? .But most have nothing to advertise beyond the eommonpi'aoe. My ftiend, indeed., had roiling to advertise. His worth, cl-oftfceil^ though it was in modesty and reserve, v.is* 'J 1 1 lit. he leaves behind, the secret seems to bei that he just treated every man as. one, gentleman treats another gentleman.: There have been 111cidellhcn the pai"t., known only to those concerned, in whichj he actually place*! iu positions of great}, trust men who through private misfotr-i tune had strayed from the paths of I honesty; and his confidence, save in one* instance', was never betrayed. There never a soul with whom he had any deal- ings, but felt raised in his own self-respect j for the trust reposed in him. Incapab'lej himself of anything not honourable orj straight, lie could not have suspected it iR| others. It is not with. the man who won • distinction in many walks of life that we, are concerned just how. The trusted; friend of some of the highest in the land, the- holder of offices, the social: favourite, seems mere remote from us in; our peaceful valley where worldly things- are out of place. We knew of these by hear-, say; but they made no difference in our' estimate of him To us he v. as just the friend, the perfect sportsman; a. singularly atti active Sigure, magnetic personahty; R man whose winning smile, the touch of whose hand made us feel happier for being alive. Around his li-eisli home, so snugly set down. oil the sunny side of the hills, by the singing river he loved, there was uot a child who did not smile as he went by. His tenderness towards the little ones was second nature. The affection he felt for the first little grand-daughter (no bahy was ever more adored) and for the grand- children who followed in no way exhauster his store of kindness for all children.

DEATH OF SIR CHARLES ASSHETON- SMITH. The death occurred on Thursday of last week of Sir Charles Assheton-Smith, Bart., of Vaynol Park, Carnarvonshire, owner of the Diiiorwic Slate Quarries and owner of •Jerry M. a celebrated steeplechase horse. Sir Charles, who was born in 1851, was the second son of Captain Robert George Duff of Wellington Lodge. Isle of Wight, and grand-nephew of Thomas Asslietoii-Smuh, Tedsworth, Hants, and Vaynol, Carnarvonshire, through whom he inherited his Wehh estates. He assumed the name and arms of Assheton-Smith in 1S05. He was one of the largest land- owners in the county of Carnarvon and was a justice of the peace, deputy lieutenant, and alderman in the County Council. In 1S08 Sir Charles was high Sheriff of Carnarvonshire, and his shrievalty was marked by a display never before seen in Carnarvonshire. On the holding of the assize lie revived the old-time ceremonial attached to the office. The carriage was drawn by two horses standing over seven- teen hands high. The coachmen and foot- men were in magnificent liveries. In the procession were fifteen javelin men se- lected from among the tallest and smartest .looking quarrymen at Dinorwic. ( The baronetcy was conferred on him in 1911, a fortnight after the investiture of J the Prince of Wales in Carnarvon ] Castle. It was due to his munificence that the. people who congregated in Castle- square on the day of the investiture were able to view the presentation of the Prince a,t Queen Eleanor's Gate, for Sir Charles had spent some £ 10,000 in clearing away the buildings which would otherwise have obstructed the view. In recognition of .his generosity in effecting so useful a pub- lic improvement, Sir Charles was made I honorary freeman of Carnarvon. Deceased was a keen sportsman and the owner of a number of famous racing horses. "Jerry M." is regarded as the best steeple- chaser of the present day. It won in the big steeplechase in Paris in June of the .same year as he had run second for the <Grarid National with lZst.. 71b. on his back. ) During the past few years Sir Charles won two Grand Nationals with "Cackler" and one witli Cloiscei- He also won two Grand Seftons with "Cackler," previously "Cloister" also won it twice. He won the Champion Steeplechase with "Cackler," the Stanley Steeplechase with "Jerry M. the Becher Steeplechase with" Jerry and "Cackler," and the Valentine steeple- chase with the same two horses. All these were successes at Liverpool only. "Cackler" broke his leg while pulling up after a gallop atGatwick, and "Holy War,5' for whom Mr. Peter Gilpin received £ 4,0001 succumbed to pneumonia. for whom Mr. Peter Gilpin received £ 4,0001 succumbed to pneumonia.

You need not leave your home, or feel despondent because several doctors have failed, even if one prescribed forty bottles of medicine. Read the follow- ing and allow it to speak for itself. The advice is for you also and fehould evoke gratitude. Vedw View, Mount Pleasant, Messrs. Morris Evans & Co., Llanrwst. Dear Sirs,-Three years ago the illness of my ten year old son caused us much anxiety. Several medical men pre- scribed for him, one to the extent of 24 bottles, but instead of improving he gradually became worse and weaker day by day. Eventually he became so weak as to be unable to stand, and the doctor testified that lie was in an advanced stage of Consumption, and that the hope of recovery was faint. I was then persuaded to give ycur medicine a trial, viz., rubbing night and morning with Morris Evans' Household Oil, and taking Morris Evans' Capsules. I followed the directions, faithfully, and was gratified to find a daily improvement in his condition. Three months from commencing the treatment with your medicines he was quite healthy, and has remained so since. I honestly believe that he would have succumbed only for your medicines Since then I have been glad to testify to the efficacy of Morris Evans' preparations -to all who > suffer similarly. I feel it my duty to bear witness to their value, and you are at liberty to make what use you wish of the above. Yours very gratefully, H.

Young men of Carnarvonshire, the fate of your country and of those nearest and dearest to you is even now trembling in i the balance! Can you refuse to lend a hand to turn the scales against our deadly and ruthless enemy ? I ask you when you get home to think tho matter out calmly and seriously. If you do I have no hesita- tion as to "what your decision will be. Those who hesitate do not do so from any lack of patriotism, but because they have not vet realised the tremendous issues which are "now at stake. (Applause). Germany is a nation of soldiers and has called up every man and boy capable of bearing arms | between the ages of fifteen and fifty and the country is literally gorged with war material of all sorts. They count their soldieis by millions and their cannon by thousands" Now our regular army is pro- bablv the hest-cqupped and altogether the finest fighting machine in the world for its size, and nobly is it to-day maintaining its glorious traditions on the battlefields of France. (Loud cheers). But its numbers are insignificant when compared with the conscript armies of the Continent and were it not for its superior quality it would I almost a negligible factor in this war. Lord Kitchener—(cheers)—to whose gui'd- ance the country has entrusted itself at this grave crisis, says he must have more men and ever more men if we are to bring this life-and-death struggle to a successful issue; for not only has he to largely in- crease the number of regiments, but lie has also to provide against the inevitable wastage of the active army in the field. Nobly have the young men of the country > responded to the appeal. Five hundred thousand of the flower of our manhood have enrolled themselves as defenders of their country and still more are pouring 1 m but Lord Kitchener will not be satis- fied till the strength of his new army reaches one million men. Mr. Asquith stated in Parliament that at present there was no intention of adopting any method other than the voluntary system to fill the ranks of our armies and that he trusted to the spirit and patriotism of the nation. I trust that confidence will continue to prove to have been fully justified and that all able-bodied men between the ages of 19 and 35 will hesitate no longer, hut will obey their country's call in this, her hour of need. (Cheers). Men are wanted not only for Lord Kitchener's Army, but also for our own Territorial regiment. Men will be equally useful in either one or the othot. Our county Terrucnal Battalion is now, I am glad to be able to say, up to its full strength of 1,000 men; but instructions have been received from the War Office to raise a reserve battalion and 1 nmhapp. to say that about 220 men have already en- listed in the second battalion. (Cheers). j The Chairman then detailed the provision made for the families and dependents ot soldiers, remarking that those left behind would he well and tenderly cared for. They need have no anxiety on that score. Concluding, he said Once more, then, would I appeal to the young men of Wales in general and of this county and this j locality in particular to come forward, not in twos and threes, but in their hundreds 1\ to serve and save their country. (Loud cheers). Stirring addresses appealing to young men to join the colours and calling on all to do what they can to assist their country in its hour of need were given by Colonel Owen Thomas, Anglesey, the Rev. J. W. Wynne Jones, vicar of Carnarvon, and the Rev. John Williams, Brynsiencyn. | Colonel Thomas who spoke in Welsh, said he was Hot eOJll- ing there to ask people to do sonie- tiling he w,;„ not readv to do hnnself. Two' oi his sons ha(i_ already gone to, the front and he was going himself shortly. (Loud cheers). Wfdes was responding well to the call; but the response would be better when the people realised how great the peri! Were many in that audience to hfar that women and children were being in-rreate<l by German soldiers, say at Criecieth, they would at once rise and go to their assistance. There was as much need for help now as there would be in the event of a German invasion of Criccieth, fot. it was by having plenty ofnwn avail- is ble to draft to the Continent that they could prevent invasion. He had had the honour of commanding a Welsh regiment for years and he assured them there was no j one to beat the Welsh for huh ting once I they were started. (Cheers). The countrv must have a sufficient number of soldiers in the field to enable England to beat the Kaiser and hishorde into jelly. (Laughter).^ He advised young ladies to turn their hacks on young men who they felt should .ioin the colours and to send them a petticoat by post. (Laughter and applause.) The Rev. J. Wynne Jones, who has his only son at the front, said it was a war of the Cross. It was a crusade against the German Eagle-—a beast of prey. (Applause). In this great struggle there were no (Church or Chapel distinctions; there were no Whigs or Tories. Thev were all Bri rosrs. (Applause). Our soldiers in the iield were fighting magnificently for King and country but they were outnumbered ten to one. Were the young men left in j Britain going to allow their brothers to continue lighting against such heavy odds jin France? (C'lieers). The Rev. John Williams, who spoke in Welsh, gave a speech closely reasoned and full of eloquence which roused the meeting to great enthusiasm. He said Wales loved peace and supported the Empire in the war, because it regarded it as inevit- able unless honour and justice were to be sacrificed. (Applause). England was not; fighting for a policy. It was fighting be- cause its conscience told it that it must fight unless militarism and tyranny were to reign supreme. (Cheers). lie recog- nised the fact 'that Great Britain was not without its faults: but he ventured to say that, for all That Great Britain was to-day the purest and noblest country under the sun. (Cheers). Wherever the British fia; flew freedom reigned. (Cheers). Great Lritain was an asset to morality and re- hgion. It was the haekuone of the world. [(Cheers).' Power was the god of Germany ami as a result an agreement or an oath, which should be regarded as sacred by a nation as well as by an individual was ignored when material profit was to be secured. (Cheers). The speaker dwelt on German atrocities in Belgium and said the Belgian Chancellor had declared that. for every soldier killed in Belgium three women or children or aged people had been murdered. It was ^possible to pay too big price for peace. They could not possibly pay too big a price for honour and justice It was honour and justice that called on Britishers to fight to-day. He hoped Welshmen would be in the van in leeruiting. He was told by the Chan- cellor of the Exchequer that Welshmen who were in Lord Kitchener's Army or Welsh J editorials w ho volunteered for the front would be allowed to come into the Welsh army corps of 50,000 which was being -'ori)ied% (Cheers). If Wales was to-day GJJly third as regards proportion of soldiers conqwrod wlJj! other parts of the British Lies, lie.ventured to think it would be >oco?id it not first before very long, (theers). Serjj^nt Williams addressed the meet- JlI ;:d related some of his experiences, re- maining that the Germans could not shoot. ( n one occasion they shot at him seven oii.aes and missed. (Laughter and applause). A *ote ot thanks to the speakers was proposed and seconded in spirited speeches by /ildcrmntt J. Jones Morris and Mi*. E. Hugbc.-jton Kobc rts and a like conuilimerit was paid the Chairman on the proposition of Colonel Owen Thomas. The meeting concluded with '• Hen Wlad fy Nhadau" and "God Save, the King." 'Lhre:^ yonng men came forward to enlist at the close, and it iV. understood that others have enlisted since the meeting.
