I THE NEW ST. DAVID.
I THE NEW ST. DAVID. One of what chemists would call the bye. I products of the present war is the changed character of St. David's Day celebrations. The original Dewi Sant is best known as an I Apostle of Peace. That he could 011 occasion and when the necessities of his country and nation demanded it, be also an inspircr of national battle-courage is so -much to his credit. It is this second and least known aspect of his character which appeals most strongly to his present-day fellow-country- men, and makes appropriate the changed character of the celebrations of his natal day. The feastings and banqueting g of former anniversaries have been but little in evidence this year. Even London Welshmen, their traditional leanings towards aldermanic in- dulgences nothwithstanding, have this year shown a Spartan fortitude which the inhabi- tants of Berlin regaling themselves on the Kaiser's wnr-bread might almost envy. St. David's Day banquets have been everywhere at a discount; St. David's Day celebrations never stood at a higher premium. The cele- brations remain; it is their. character alone which has chai).oed--aiid that certainly not for the worse. It is not altogether, nor indeed mainly, Mr Lloyd George's visit of inspection to the Welsh Army Corps on the North Wales Coast whicn is repponsible for the essentially military character and militant colouring given to the celebrations every- where. It was inevitable that the war—the greatest, the bloodiest, the cruellest the world has ever seen—should have fired the Welsh imagination and imbued the Welsh mind, ordinarily peace-loving though it be, with its own lurid colouring. And Mr Lloyd George, as Chancellor of the Exchequer, in selecting the Welsh Patron Saint's Day as the occasion for inspecting the Welsh Army Corps, again manifested his ability to enter fully into the mind of his fellow-countrymen, and in his I .D\:a..U'1. person mid hnr 1&"0 o*»n oAiion 5;1:- public expression to the national sentiment. In this, indeed. the Chancellor of the Ex- chquer was in a sense anticipated by His Majesty King George, who has made St. Da', id's Day, 1915, memorable in the annals of its celebrations by making it a red letter day in the milit.ary history of the Principality. For the first time since the Act of Union which made Wales one with England, the Principality has been recognised by Royalty in its military character, as on a par, and entitled to equal honour, with the other three siqtei- nationalities in the United Kingdom. The creation of the Welsh Guards was in itself a happy idea; the summoning of the new military aristocracy of the Principality on duty at Buckingham Palace for the first time on St. David's Day, was an inspiration. The adoption by His Majesty of the leek as the badge of the Welsh Guards should dis- pose once for all of the fantastic modern fashion which would endeavour to substitute the daffodil for St. David's humbler but more historic badge. His Majesty's recognition of Welsh national emblems has not been con- fined to the adoption of the leek as the badge of his Welsh Guards. Ho has ordered the Red Dragon of Wales to be emblazoned on the King's colotirc-thiii reviving a standard which figured in the forefront of the Battle of Bosworth, which placed his Welsh ances- tor, Harry Tudor of Penmynydd, Mon, on the English throne. The motto selected by the King for his Welsh Guards, "Cvmru am Bych!" ("Wales for ever"), is no lesfj ap- propriate or fitting. It is essentially and distinctively Welsh in form, in idea, and in genius; and stands out in striking and pleas- ing contrast to the foolish suggestion put forward in certain quarters that the Welsh Guards' motto shotild be "Stick it, Welsh!" and which in its Welsh form, "Dal ati, Gymro!" appears still more foolish. To further emphasise the national character of the new Guards His Majesty has directed that the leading company of the l'irst Bat- talion of the Welsh Guards shall be jdenomi- nated "The Prince of Wales' Company. just as the leading company of the First Grenadier Guards is styled "lhe King's Company." All this being done in honour cf Wales, and on St. David's Day, made the Chancellor of the Exchequer's visit of inspection all the more appropriate, and the character of the celebrations of the Welsh Saint's Day at Llandudno, Colwyn Bay, and Rhyl merely, but properly, harmonised with tho prevailing national sentiment. The presentation by Lady Boston, on behalf of the ladies of Anglesey, of a Sword of Honour to Brigadier- General Owen Thomas, was not only a fitting tribute, graciously paid, to one who prides himself 011 being < ne of "Gwyr Mawr Mon," but was typical of the Welsh spirit of to-day, and forcibly reminiscent of the days of Cymru's greatest martial glory, when v fair Welsh dames and demoiselles buckled on the swords of their good knights when sending them forth to do battle for hearth and home. The Brigadier-General seems to have been imbued with the same spirit when, in acknowledging the gift, he said the sword would etel- remind him that he. ir. common with-MB contpatTiott "fought for hearth and home, and all that was righteous alld dear to them." The presentations to the Chancellor him- self, although they took the more peaceful form of official addresses, afforded, neverthe- less, opportunity for Mr George to dilate u pon the martial spirit of Wales, past, pre- sent. and future. Even to us who have wit. nessed such unmistakable and praiseworthy ardour among the youth of the Principality, it brings a shock of surprise and a glow of pride to learn that Wales hao contributed already an army of 80,000 of the flower of her manhood to take part in this titanic struggle for "Righteousness and Liberty!" And as Mr Lloyd George rightly said, this is far from being the measure of the ultimate contribution of Wales to the Imperial Army. It was little to be wondered at that he should have said he was "more proud than ever of Wales." When the full record of the deeds performed in the present war is available, we shall all be more proud than ever of Gallant Little Wales," and of all she has done for the British Crown and Empire in this their day of great trial. There is one e is one sentence in the Chancellor's reply to the address at Llandudno which deserves to be emblazoned upon every school wall through- out the Principality:— "There is not a soldier en the battlefield more brave than a Welsh soldier, and I am glad to think that every regiment from Wales has been mentioned by our Com- mander-in-Chief. They have plenty of grit to face the enemy. I am confident that the boys now in training will go and do likewise." Even the celebrations in the schools and c.olleges partook, almost of necessity, cf the same spirit. The artistic handbook issued by the Welsh Education Department in London, with its inspiring record of the national hero, "Owen Glyndwr," and of the Welsh hero of Waterloo, General Picton, served not only as a useful guide to patriotic celebration, but helped to concentrate the thoughts of the coming generation on the past military re- cord of Wales. The addresses delivered in most instances followed the same patriotic and inspiring lines. In the current issue of Cymru Mr Owen M. Edwards, H.M. Chief Inspector of Schools for Wales, ma kes the novel suggestion—one well worthy of con- sideration in view of this year's new depar- tures—that. for the future in Wales the ex, change of St. David's Day Cards of greeting should take the place of the customary Christinas Cards. Whatever may be the fate of this sii-gesi-ioii, we cannot lose Right of the fact that this war has brought to Wales in common with, perhaps even more than to, other parts of the kingdom, a new spirit, a new courage, a new determination, the fruits of which only the future can reveal.
I THE CHURCH AXD POLITICAL…
I THE CHURCH AXD POLITICAL TR UCK. The Government are evidently iu a quan. dary over the Duke of Devonsnire's But to amend the Suspensory Act so far as it relates to the Welsh Churcn Act. Mr Asquith's statement in the House of Commons last week that there seems to be some prospect of pos- sible agreement 011 the points raised repre- sents the setter feelings of the Cabinet, and the repeated postponement of discussion of the measure in the House of Lords at the re- quest of the Government seems to indicate that they are hoping to be tible to show some measure of justice and fair dealing towards the Church. On the other hand, they are hampered by the violence of the Welsh Radi- cals, who insist upon exacting1 their pound of flesh, and to whom "justice and "fair deal, ing" are relative terms. While the Duke has responded to the desire of the Government for a further postponement of the second reading of his I)illl he has made it clear that he wilt insist upon its being seriously con- sidered and deait with by the Government very shortly. There is growing evidence that the country is in full accord with the demand of Cnurchnsen that the operation of the Welsh Church Act must be suspended—aa is the Home Rule Act--until after the war; and the Government should realise that it is with the country, and not with their Radical suppor- ters, they will eventually have to reckon. It is necessary to say very definitely, in view of suggestions which have been made in various quarters (followiug upon Mr Mc- Kenna s attempt to bargain with Churchmen to abandon an attempt to erase the Welsh Church Act from the Statute Book), that the policy of repeal holds the field, and will con- tinue to do so until after the next General Election. The decisions of lay representative bodies and of innumerable ruri-decaeal chap- ters leave no doubt upon this point, and Churcnrnen generally will continue to support the declaration of the Canterbury House of Laymen at its sitting last month, which stated: "That the right policy to adopt was the repeal of the Welsh Church Act, and that there would be no compromise on a matter of such vital principle." As Mr Asquith has himself explicitly stated that importanf tnea- surea passed under the Parliament Act "could and would be reversed," if shown bv a sub- sequent General Election "to be opposed to the will of the masses of the electors," there is no impropriety in the policy laid down by the House of Laymen. Attention is once more called to the im- portance of keeping intact the political truce, which by general consent has been obstyved by all parties, and it is important to point out that it will be very considerably en- dangered if the Government are not prepared to grant the moratorium asked for bv the Duke of Devonshire's Bill in the case of the Welsh Church Act. The prospect of having to deal with the direndownient question in time of war is serious enough, but there are also other questions which present great difii. who are opposed to what they are pleased to call "concessions that the constitution of the new Representati ve Body, the precise nature of its work, its relation to the State and to Convocation, Faie problems which re- quire delicate handling, and that these, as it has been remarked, "cannot be adequately discussed at the present moment, when many men vho are accustomed to take an important part in the Oh lire n s affairs are engaged in active service abroad or absorbed in scarcely les* important administrative work of various kinds at home." The case for holding up the Welsh Church Act Is, indeed, from every point of view unanswerable, and the Govern- ment will be well advised to recognise the position.
.4 PEIIl AT HOME.I
.4 PEIIl AT HOME. I In his speech at Bangor, Mr Lloyd George expressed opinions held by practically the whole of the British people. The present war is a supreme test of our capability as a nation, and our independence is at stake. The pros- pect before us if we fail was forcibly sketched by the Chancellor of the Exchequer. "We shall be vaosals, not to the best Ger- mallY, not to the Germany of sweet songs and inspiring, noble thoughts—not to the Germany of science consecrated to the ser- vices of man, not to the Germany of a virile philosophy that helped to break the shackles 01 a superstition in Europe—not to that Germany, but to a Ger- many that talked througii the raucous voice of Krupp's artillery^ a Germany that has harnessed science to the chariot of de- struction and of death, the Germany of a philosophy of force, violence, and brutality, a Germany that would quench every spark of freedom either in its own land or in any other country in rivers of blood. There is only one quarter in which a serious menace of failure for Britain could gather. If any section of the nation refuses to recog- nise the gravity (.f our position, if there is disunion consequent upon elf-seeking, the effectiveness of our power of attack and de- fence might be paralysed in the critical hour. At the bidding of patriotism political con- troversy has been swept aside. Industrial contention must be treated in the same spirit. There must be fair draliug between masters and men, favour must be shown to neither, it is the duty of the Government to see to that, and the Prime Minister has recognised the fact. But the work which the nation needs mu¡;t be done. The efforts of the men on the high seas and in the trenches must not be frustrated by disgraceful quarrels among those who remain at home. Biit-ain's cause must not be imperilled in order that trade disputes may be foug-ht out while the enemy is at our gate. Mr George's spcech has already been beneficial in this respect At the commencement of the war the Ger- man militarists, casting about for a means of diverting the minds of the masses of the people in the Fatherland frcm the considera- tion of the real cause of the conflict, raised a clamour to the effect that "the war-party .'i Russia, had thvu^i. war tile Kaiser's I innocent and j.rcting Government. The events of the early stages of the struggle proved that Russia was unprepared, and that the German plan of campaign was founded on that very fact. The ruling Prussian clique soon recognised that it was necessary to be- muse the German public with a new fable, so they directed the attention and sentiments of the people to the alleged "treachery" of Britain and succeeded in obscuring the truth in the fumes of virulent German hatred of this country. The pro-Germans in our midst are not so quick in evolution of the kind as their Prussian models, and they still cling to the discarded German figment about the aggressiveness of Russia. Mi Lloyd George touched upon this subject with the candour which hq employed in treating other topics.

NOTKS AND COMMENTS. I MEMORABLE ST. DAVID'S DAY. I St. David's Day, 1915, will doubtless take its place in history as the moat eventful anniversary festival associated with the patron saint. In place of a peaceful tiny such as the saintly patriot would have desired—what he might say of the publio feaste which once seemed the limit of our national celebrations one can only conjeciuTe- we had a people in arms, many actually facing the enemy's guns and many more fitting thein- selves for their place in the battle line, all bent on a task that would appeal to D&i'" low (JJI ri^htcoxisneise. Monday was essentially a day to demonstrate our martial qualities no L than our loyalty as a nation to our Empire and to. human freedom.

Ihoee who participated in them in both civilian and military capacitiee were representative of all Wales, an it i, "ell to know in bath civilian and military capacities were Ie- presentative of all Wales, and it is well to know that an ambitious and memorable anniversary programme was carried through without a lutoh. On that fact the Llandudno Committee, in com- mon with Brigadier-General Owen Thomas and his sitaff, axe to be complimented. THE WELSH GUARDS. As General Sir Franc's Lloyd prom/sed, fcha new battalion of Welsh Guarde had beem re criiltcd to such good pin-pose by St. Diavid'e Day that thpy were called upon to gu<u-d the Sove- reign. A correspondent calls attention to a curious coincidence. Monday was the five- hundred^ th anniversary of that Se.

I MIGRATION TO WALES. m an article in the Welsh Outlook for March, discussing migration to and from Wralee a.nd Monmouthshire, "J.E.T." emphasises the fact that approximately one-eixt-h of the population of the thii teen Welsh coun- ties is English born. Out of every thousand pprecfM enumerated 111 Wales at the time of the 1911 census 680 resided in their native Welsh county and 127 had migrated from ono county in Wales to another. 807 per thousand of the population were, therefore, Welsh born, a-lid of the icniaindoz' 160 per thousand were bore in England, four in Scot-ia-nd. nine in Ireland three in tho Lsie of Ia.n, Channel Islands, Britu* Colonres or Dependencies, seven in foreign conn, tries, and the birthplace of ton was not stated. Contrasting North Wales and South Wales con- cerning the migration to and from England, the writer roveols strikingly different restdts. Front the North Wales counties 119,476 persona bad migratc-.i to England, and only 69.476 vice versa- The number who had migrated from Souuh Wa" to England was 147,139, but 31,8,582 persons from England had replaced them in South Wales. The disparity is attributable very laalge- ly to the coal mines and other sources of ena- ploymerit in South Wales, of winch we in the North have comparatively few. [ INTERCHANGE OF POPULATION. The interchange of popillatio-ri aiii,)jtg,,t i"gjl- bouring oouutie3 is another matter on whioh the article throws frmh Lgl¡t. Amongst the North Wales counties Anglesey showed the lowest rate of migration, and it had sent more of i-to natives to O&n-arvonshiro, ite one near neigh- bour, than to the rest of Wcls combined. Car- narvon-lv re ha6 a considerable Interchange with its three neighbours, and in each case lias the advantage, gaining a balance of 3005 from Alible, sk-y and 810 from Denbigh, but only 102 from Merioneth." It will surprise matiy to know that even in 1911 there were 6574 Carnarvonahire- born people in Glamorgan. To-da_\ the total ia probably considerably larger. The migration from Denbighshire to England was the hwaviest of the North Wales counties, namely, 33,910— 13,911 to Lancashire and 6909 to Cheshire. Out of a population of 144,783 in Denbighshire. 45.469 had hcen born dee-wbere, but 51.461 natives were residing in other onuritie* of Wales and England. 31,017 natives of Flintshire were claimed by England. Carnarvonshire, with a population of 125,043. had 34,898 of its children living bev"ond its borders, but it s-heitersd 30,387 of rhe chil- dren of other Weleih and English cointios. RECRUITING IN CARNARVON. A statement wnich recently obtained pubiicatj, alleging that the town of Carnarvon figured un, favourably in the recruiting returns, has natur- ally arou-ed much s-eoentment in the county tavrp. Mar Lloyd Geo-rgo referred to the matter in h1. spcech at the military eisteddfod held &t Llan- dudno 0:1 Mondiay. He pointed out that WaJ -a in proportion to its population h(td oontribu" more men to the Army than any other pMt of the United Kingdom. "We have, to-day, said the Chancellor, "raised in this little country over eigaty thousand of the finest men that ever mArched ¡" whilst from Carnarvon it lone upwards of 650 men haà j oinoo the forces. The Maxtor «<~<s-cb iwr i-wmrr. Tirestray s ineetmg 0) t-ne Town Council, gave tie actual number as 6S7, who un now serving the colours in different regiments anid naval unite. It wirl thiu be seen that Carnar- von s contribution to the forces is vcrv creditable, and it is well that the public should be mforj/ied of the actual state of tbingfl. It would be indeed- unfortunate if from any misconception Cfarcuar- •von's response to the call to axnii u ft.- nmunnased. Witfi a record, such as the Mayor announioed, Carnarvon has no need to be agh&med of its re- cruitina- returns. PATRIOTISM. I read with amazement (says "F.") the foi. lowing report of proceedings in the Ki%rt Bench Division, on Tuesday: — Sir Edward Carson Someone has said that patriotism i.s the last resort of scoundrels. Mr Justice Darling: Who said that? Sir Edward Carson: I hiave forgotten, but will look it up. Mr Hcnimerde, K.C. (for the defence!: It was Disraeli. Now, Mr Juebioe Darling and Mr Hemmexcle arc among the most litel-axy personages engaged in the law, and it is stoupifying to think that they woro ignorant of one of the fanvtia* passages in Boswoll. which even a metre poli- tician sucih as Sir Edward Carson might be ex- pected to know. On Friday, Api-i! 7th, 1776, reporting the dinner-talk at an unnamed tavern, Boswcll save: "Patriotism having become one of our topics, Joluiiion suddenly uttered, in a strong determined tone, an apophthegm at whicfc many will start: 'Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel.' Disraeli ma liave used the same phra»e, substituting reeort" for "refuge, but if he did, it is only another example of his many plagiarisms. "CLIO" TRAINING-SHIP. At the annual meeting of th? supporters o- the "Clio" Industrial Training-ship, last week, the Committee presented their repurt, wbiob showed that the past year's work was sucoeea- iul, despite many difficulties occasioned try several of the ship's officers, all Royal NavaJ men. being mobilised. Captain Langdon and the remaining officers loyalty undertook the extrc dutiffi f'fi"e,nti,¡;,¡11y to the proper working of the ship. It is very gratifying to note the number ol "01io" boys who are now serving (heir country. Last year nino were drafted into the Royal Navy, 26 were .a.('('i'pted ;1$ g:gn-al!ers in the Nava.) Reserve, and ten members of the ship's band a.re now serving tt" hugIent in tho Army. In addition to these the,e are at present 163 Olio" boys serving in the Navy and Army. This apeaks well of the manly f.:¡Ùit with which tho lade are imibued, and the training and discipline they undergo under Oapt-ain Lajiifdon and his fiibaff admirably fits them for service in hie Majesty's forces. THE BILLETING QI ESTION. The arrangements for billeting troops in Bangor has given r;etto a good deal of dis- satisfaction, especially in the West End dis- trict. This is evident from the discussion which took place at the City Council .on Wed. ncvjday, when tile JJayor jxjdained how tht- billeting arrangements ari-ii.-el at, and that -the Council, Kfcrt V-r-nV subjected to a good deal of 'riticism, wete uKpt to be held accountabJif. It must be ;t<hniU-'> d that theg-enr-rallv through# ha-s been somewhat- 11 sfactory, an is hard {■« fix- thø claimed by the- military authorities City Couticii. The result, howeve1 \Ii) that in mall" cases troops have be t-» upon householders who, without cP loyalty, or disrespect for the brave i. are offering thair lives in the service C) country, would have preferred to be wi them, whilet on i he other band liousehomc who had been requested by Lie police to pre- pare for their reception, linv- been passed by after incurring considerable trpense. All this is really bad management, and it i" surprising that feelings of annoyance and jealousy have been engendered. The Town Clerk is daily receiving letters from house- holders. who have already two or more soldiers, asking for the larger number they were led to believe would be sent to then This goes to show that a good deal of d i: satisfaction is felt with the present arranp menta.
