I MILITARY EISTEDDFOD. THE TRUTH ABOUT RECRUITING IN WALES. In the evening a soldiers' eisteddfod was bold in the Pavilion. A large and en/thusiaetro audienoo was attracted, the receipts amountng to over £62. Mrs Lloyd George presided, and the prooeedingg were conducted by Llew Tegid. The adjudicators were :—Music, Major John Wil- liams, Carnarvon; poetry, Mr J. R. Joaies Taga»«rj.); r ftitaii»a«r Llew Teg-id Mr Charles "Hughes was the accompanied As Mrs Lloyd George took her place on the platform there was a great outburst of cheering, win eh was heartily renewed as the Chan cello r followed her. The Brigade Choir occupied the back of the platform, and sitting in front of thorn were: Mr and Mrs Lloyd George, Miss Olwen Lloyd George, B Owen Thomas and Mr« Thema^ Miss Thomas. Mise Dilys Roberts, Sir Osmond Wiiliams. and La¿I,V Williams, Miss Gee, and the Rev. John Williams. PRESENTATION TO THE CHANCELLOR. After a spirited rendering of "March of the Men of Harlech" by the choir, under the conduetorahip of Sergeant-Major Sirig.eton. the Chairman of the Llandudno Council (Mr F. J. Sar«on), accompanied by other member* ,of the Council nnd the Sohoitor-Clerk (Mr A. Conoily), stepped on to the plat form for the pui-poee of makng presentations to Mr and Mrs Lloyd George and Miss Olwen Lroyd George. The Chancellor's gift took the form of an album bound in Russia leatlier of kh,aki ahede with gilded decorations, and bearing the seal of the Llandiudno Urban District Council, Avhioh had been cast for the occasion. In addition to twelve exclusive photographs, sepia tinted, of Llandudno and rite vioinity. iiieiu'ding the historic oaetlcs of Carnarvon and Conway, the in.txuior of the album contained a congratulatory address. Having read the addrees Mr Sarson, amid hearty cheers, luuidcd the album-, to Mr Lloyd G-CKMiges, and afterwards preneiited1 a gold and enamel biooc-ti to M,r3 Lloyd George, a box of I choouiatee to Miss Lloyd George, and a bouquet to M:re Owen Thomas. THE CHANCEL!A>R ON RAISING AN I AIUIY. VIGOROUS DEFENCE OF CARNARVON. I MR LLOYD GEORGE said: It has been a great pleasure to me to come down to Llan- dudno and get a recruitment—I thiuk that is the proper word-at the present moment. We are all as Ministers very, very tired after a prolonged strain, but to come down to Llandudno is a great pick-me-up (cheers). Your air lifts you up, however depressed you may ftel physically. The wind here bloweth as it listeth—(laughter) ,—and it is an ener- gising bracing air, and I am very glad that I have come down were it only for that pur- pose, and I shall go. back reinvigorated for the great taA; which is in front of my col- leagues and myself (cheers). But 1 came down on business. I came here to see the first-fruits of the efforts which had been made to raise a distinctive Welsh army (cheers). I remember—Lord Plymouth was referring to it at the luncheon—the beginning of that Welsh army. We met. just four of us, in the board-room of the Treasury, a place where we have raised taxes from time to time— (laughter).-and I thought it was a great place to raise an army (cheers). So we had ]ust four of us, ancMhe four have become twenty thousand (cheers). That was the I beginning. I remember perfectly well, I won't say we despaired, but we thought our task was unenormoufl one. Because you -must remember Wales had only raised three regi- ments in the past. It had with difficulty maintained them. The martial spirit had been slumbering, but only slumbering, for centuries. It was just waiting for the occa- sion, and the occasion came, antl the great warlike spirit that main- tained the independence of these moun- tains for centuries Woke up once more, and. woe be to the 4J erriiRjj army when thejyturs up (cheers). -< j 1 heard of an old pcssiaiSRi \\110 in despair. He had been reading the news- papers, and was not quite sure what was going to happen. He was afraid the Ger- mans were going to win. He heard of Ger- man submarines. He read about the retreat of the Russians, and he had practically given it up. But one day he came down and saw a battalion—it liiust have been of the Royal Welsh Fusiliers—(cheers),—just listened to them, saw them with their steady tread, just as we say them to-dv-and he said "That is all right. The moment those fellows go there they will sweep them all away" (cheers and laughter). And he is perfectly convinced now that it is all right, and the only thing that bothers him is why Lord Kitchener does not send them there without any delay (cheers). And that is the feeling I had look- ing at them to-day. It was a magnificent spectacle, it was a thrilling sight, and I feel prouder of- my country than ever (cheers). And I have a great pridfi in Wales. I am proud of its history, proud of its literature, proud of its songs, proud of its language, proud .of its bards, proud of its great preachers, and after reading the story of what the "Welsh regiments have done at tLe front I am proud of its soldiers (cheern). A REPLY TO LONDON CRITICS. What has been done in Wales in the way of raising an army baffles the thought of everyone, even those who knew Wales best. We had three regiments at the beginuing of the war. We had to all UP gape occasionally in them from abroad—(laughter),—but to- day we have raised in this little country over eighty thousand of the linest men that ever marched (cheers). There is a London even- ing 'paper that periodically used to print small leaderettes nagging at Wales. Why did not Wales recruit ? How is it Wales does not come forward? You might have thought we had made no contribution to this great struggle. Our answer is we have contributed more in proportion to our population than any other part, of the United Kingdom— (cheers),—and they are still coming in (cheers). Another evening paper published a letter the other day to say—"Why does not Lloyd George go to his own constituency and especially to the principal town there? there are only fifteen that have enlisted from Car. narvon (cheers). These are able papers and but there are 650 that have come from Car- narvon (cheers). There are able papers and they have a considerable circulation I be- lieve in London-thev have none in Wales (laughter). Now I will tell you what I would suggest to th-cm-that,iiistead of publishing letters suggesting that Wales has not done its duty and articles suggesting that we are backward, they should stimulate London to do just as Wales has done, and we should be quite satisfied (cheers). That is a little word that I wanted to say before I left Llandudno. That was a shot at what they call long range (laughter). The Chancellor of the Exchequer then turned into Welsh with the remaik: "This is an eisteddfod." He went on to say that his first experience of public speaking at Llandudno was at an eisteddfod, and here for the second time he was addressing Eis- teddfodwyr. That was 25 years ago, and he was rather young and had just been elected to Parliament by the electors of Carnarvon Boroughs. It appeared that he had made a very poor speech, for a few days afterwards he was going to stay with his oid friend, the late Thomas Gee, at Denbigh. No one knew him in the town, and it was his first but not his last visit to Denbigh; but he had managed always to come away again (laughter). He remembered going to a barber, who ques- tioned him very much about the gentleman who was to speak that evening in the town, remarking that he had been told he was a very poor speaker, and, of course, he (the Chancellor) had to reply that he did net think much of the speaker (laughter). He hoped, however, that they would give him better credit after his second visit to Llan- dudno (cheers). I am glad, said the Chan- cellor, that Wales has done so well towards raising an army. I believe the position of Wales at the end of this war will depend on what W ales does during the war. There is not a soldier on the battlefield more brave than a Welsh soldier, and I am glad to think that every regiment from Wales has been mentioned by our Commander-in-Chief. There is no fear of their running away, and they have plenty of grit to face the enemy. I am confident that these boys now in train- ing will go and do likewise (cheers).

I THE BRIGADIER'S DINNER. I Tlie dinner given by Bri.gad,;er-G,,Ti-ei-al Owen I Thoma.s and the of-fieex-m of his brigade at the St. I George's Hotel, on Monday might, was largely attended. The t;(.M"r of "The proposed by the Brigadier-General was responded to by Ea.rl of Derby and, the Chancellor of the Ex- I chequer.

I THE CHANCELLOR AMONG THE I PICTURES. On Monday mo.ro tig Mr Lloyd George, who is a great lover of pictures, visited the sadio of Mr Harold Rathbone. The Chancellor was particularly struck with a large view of Dun- vegan Caetle an<j Islands, is also with a canvas depicting the romantic cotu-t scene of the Isle of Man, which he said he should like to purchase, subject to the approval of Mrs Lloyd George, who was bo visit the studio before leaving Llan- dudno. He ako admired eome impressionist sketches of Clarence Whaite, whioli Mr Rathbone had purchased at a sale shortly before the artist's death. Mr Lloyd George had alreadty purchased a. number of these pictures, aiKI Mr Rathbono having, at the .!Iale, QtU,tbid him for one, now h)a,nded the picture over to the Chancellor in celebration of has visit to Llandudno. Mr Lloyd George was much impressed by Mr Rat h bone » colLeccion of Delia Robbia pottery.

I 7,000 EXCURSIONISTS. I It, i", .,¡-Ü..l t-.h.a,t o-v-er 7000 xOl.rj.o.¡Ústd arrived at Llandudno by train on Monday, and much credit is due to Mr Hughes, the etationmaster, for the excellent manner in whioli he and his capable st-aff coped with the excep- tional traffic. The Chancellor and his party left by motor oar on Tuesday morning for Colwyn Ba.y and Rhyl, joining the train for London at RJhyl. During the day, Mr Thompson, diistriot superin- tendent, accompanied by tins ass stants, Mr Shcpp-y and Mr Bin n»y, visited the town.

THE CHANCELLOR'S ACKNOWLEDGMENT. MESSAGE TO GENERAL IVOR PHILIPPS. Mr Lloyd George was highly pleased with the appearance of the troops at all the three towns, as will be seen from the following telegram received from him by General Ivor PhHipps ,Ipr"?ase convey to the troops under your command whom I have had the pleasure of seeing at Llandudno, Colwyn Bay and Rhyl, my personal thanks and the thanks of H.M. Government for their patriotic efforts. Only the united action of officers, non-commissioned officers and men, ably directed as they have been by von, could in the short time in which The 43rd "Welsh Division has been in existence, have produced such remaxkable and satisfac- tory results. Wales has reason to be proud of this, her latest contribution to the Imperial Forces, which, judged by the evidence of grit and enthusiasm I have witnessed will worthHv maintain the name and traditions of Welsh regiments and add a glorious page to the history of a martial race." The General in reply wired: On behalf of the officefs and men of the 43rd Welsh Divi- sion I thank you for your encouraging and inspiriting words. We have all much appre- ciated your visits and assure you that no effort will be spared on our part to make the Welsh Army Corns an efficient fighting force. I fully believe that your presence and sym- pathetic approval of our work will induce many more of our young men to join the Army of Wales."

WITH THE If PALS AT LLANDUDNO. I PREPARING FOR INSPECTION DAY. I VIEWED BY THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER. LLANDUDNO, Monday. This has been one of the most momoanib'.e days in OUT oa-reer as soldiers of the King. We have been inspected by the greatest of all Welshmen. We have been lionised by our fcik>w-oouncryman. And, what is perhaps grea.te.r tJhan all these things, we have been given a ho Inlay All "V^elshmm are familiar with the ciarkm call which came to th.(!, countrymen centuries ago from St. David, and they rooa,!i with pride hew that appeal was answered. Never, I venture to say, has the anniversary of thnt great patriot been to enthusiastically and so impressively cele. brated as it has been hero to-day. We, who have joined the Welsh Army Corps, will for ('H'r be proud, for we WN'ë privileged to take pa.rt in the historic event. For weeks we had looked forward to it with mingled feel- ings of pleasure and anxiety. 1f\ it a lino day we yetted to each other this morning as we jumped out of bed. And great was our disappoinrtment when we fot nd 'hat tne rain, which is eaid to drop upon the jaso a:(! the unjust, was falling in torrents, wlvifet the wind howled like a dem-entted tptrit. Muffled in our givat-coats we rushed-—a« we usually do—on to early parade. As we flood shivering on the Promenade, with the bleak wind cutting through one like a knife, we had .-saone of the great review turning out a fiasco. The rain turned into sleet, and it was necessary to shelter us in a side street while the N.C.O. f. dis- pensed the leeke. Don't tremble at the sight of the word leek, for I am not going to contribute to the mixed controversy as to which is the correct national emblem. I will only say that for the sake of dry eyee, and wish it wuro a daffodil. Well, having received our leeks, we returned I WITH TEAR STAINED FACES. I to our billets Each vied with the other as to who oould be the cleanest and smartest. To those of my readers who have never witnessed a billet full of men preparing for a review day, it seems the simplest of things. But, if you really want to know wha.t this part of the proceedings ia like—well, commIt the landlady, tor an h?uj 'ITI'D a d y. For all licux it is pandemonium. Men ar? ru?uHg Hry- where. tjie b l iz,?s li?,is that button "Where the bhzl's has that button st:? gone?" "It is upstai rs. The fellow dashes upstains. taking them two at a time, only to find on his arri val that tho button-stick is nowhere to be found. Dawn he comes again with a face livid with rage, and it is woe-betide the culprit who has "snettked" the article. At the bathroom door there is a queue, re- mindMig one of weary hours spent outside a Metropolitan theatre. They are all waiting to shave. And inside is one lucky beggar who is deaf to all the banging on the door, and tlie thre-ata which are being hurled at him. Another man can't find his putteee, or some- one has taken hM boot bruwhee. But all in good time everybody gradually aesumes form, as 1 orm, aLs it were, and by the time the "fall lit" sounds we are. ready for the minutesi of inspections. Our he«.rts leaped for joy at the sight of the su-n struggling thimijgh the clouds, for we wanted to be seen at our beet by the great crowds which we knew would invade the town. The battalion paraded on the Ccunoii field, an-cl then marched on to the Promenade. In the etrcets and on the front people were seething on every side. One felt unspeakably proud that they were all a.ssennhled to see the body M tr-omws of which one formed a part. On the Promenade we were joined by tlie other battalions, who were dix'seed 'in khaki. Well, up to time. Mr Lloyd George, accom- panied by General Sir H. Mackinnon and other military officers, made his appearance. The nh"nI,1" MUST HAVE BEEN THRILLED I at the sight when the general salute was given. These men who, but a few months ago, were pur. suing altmo-st every avocation in lite, sprang to attention like trained toidiiers, and after pre- senting arms stood there immovable afi statues. They were men of IÙlown kith and kill. who had sacrificed all in order to defend the honour of their country. Well might he be proud of them, and moved by tlie impressive scene. Mr Lloyd George passed along tlie rank s to inspect lie, a.nd then began the grand march past. To the accompaniment of the "whirr" of the oinemaitojgraph machines and the click, click, of proos cameras, we moved off in column of route. And surely there can be no nioi-e imposing sight thain a brigade marching along a stiwght stretch o f rc-ad in fours. The free, easy swing of the arms and legs; heads erect; the buoyancy of the ma.i,cdi-it all goes to thrill and star the blood. So symmetrical wa6 everything that it looked for all the world as tliough the men were inclosed on either side. On and on o:mle the apparently endless line of blue and khaki. Aftetr the whole of the brigade had marched past I nltliI 's formation woo opened out into columns of platoon and re- turned ajong the Promenade. The review was witnessed by tlie Chancellor from a speoi-aliy-erectrd platform. The general pubiio surged around him and clamoured for a epeedh. But, as he riglitly put it, this is the time for business and not speech-making. And every man amongst those thousands, with stern set faces and serioura eye*, looked as though he meant busineea. The honour and safety of his native land were at stake, and he was prepared to risk all to defend them. The review over, we- were d'mi, and the remainder of the day was putised in pleasureable pursuits. We had seen Mr Lloyd George, the originator of the ootrps to which we belong he had seen and admired tie, and all were satisfied. ANOTHER NIGHT ON THE 0RME. I On Wednesday we passed another long night vigil on the Orme. On this occasion the section to which. I belong found ^iielter wiithin one of the oaves of the mountain. After all, cave- dwellers must have had a tolerably good time of it. With plenty of straw to resit your weary limbs upon, and a nice, glowing fire at the mouth of the cave. I can oonoeiye of many a worse ex- istence. To mo the liouns passed pleasantly enough, and when nvarning came I felt quite freeh. The greatest drawback to dwelling in a cave ia that you must convey your own pro vi- sions thither. And I oaii assure you it is a Her- culean task, One man struggled beneath a htm. dred-weight of coal with which to make our fite another laboured benentii a seek of straw which was to form our feather" bed; whilst others oarried tine which were to be utilised for the purpose of making tea, ooffee, ctc. It is all very strange to us; and yet all very interesting-. We have been on "slack" time till is week, the parades having been interfered: with by inocula- tion aid other thm.gs. This morning we went on a fairly long route march, but everybody ap- peared dead beat after the dissipation, I pre- gume, of yesterday. Ah well, we get over therse little lapses from virtue.. R.

SOUTHPORT'S ENVY OF NORfH WALES. BILLETING PRICES. At a meeting of the Southport Company house Proprietors' Association on Tuesday night the ex-chairman (Mr Lees) said that during the last few days the military autho- rities at Colwyn Bay and Llandudno had given notice that they were going to reduce the price for billeting from els 4td per man per day to 2s 6d, but., after a deputation had waited upon them and pointed out the in- creased cost of food, they had allowed the price to remain at 3a 41d, In Southport the price had been reduced to 2s 6d. 'I he price of food in North Wales could not be much different to that in Southport, and, if they were to feed the men as they ought to be fed, the price paid should be the same in each of the places. Thousands of pounds had been lost to Southport by the acceptance of the lower terme. It was decided to send a deputation repre- senting the association on the matter to tht Mayor, and, failing him. to the militarj authorities.

I PICTURESQUE MILITARY SPECTACLE ON THE PROMENADE. I ANGLESEY LADIES PRESENT THE BRIGADIER WITH A SWORD The real object of the Chancellor's visit was, of course, to witness on Monday the inspection by General Sir Henry Mackinnon, chief officer of the "Western Command, of the 1st Brigade of the Welsh Army Corps. Under ordinary circumstances Llandudno would probably be content to celebrate St. David's I Day with the usual dinner, but these are I' extraordinary days. The famous health re- sort is at present a military centre of con- siderable importance, and it was but natural that the festival should be infused with a martial spirit for Dewi Sant, his peace-loving nature notwithstanding, above all else sym- bolises those virtues for which Britain and her Allies are fighting- in Flanders. All the morning the station emitted long streams of people who had come from various parts of North Wates, and the town seemed inoro crowded than it ever i, even in August, particularly after the review when tho troops thron'gedi the stroots in the en joyment of thoir holiday with their relatives and friends who 5Kui come from their Welsh homes to see them. The weather, too, was much kinder than seemed pos- sib le at day break, when a north-westerly „"al« with driving rain prevailed. The raiin had ceased, th-9 astreete were dry, and tho sun was shining brilliant!y—at oleven o'clock when the 1st Brigade marched on to the promenad e for inspection,. There was still a strong cold wind and ft heavy sea, which hroke in liii-ge rollers, on the ver-ge of the parade, the fringe of the breakers sometimes eren reach- ing the feet of the nearer lines of troops. Tho spectators filled the footpath aiong- the opposite side of the front, and were so numerous that the newer recruits, who were told off to act as mili- tary police, liad difficulty n keeping the parad e around clear. I OVER 5030 SOLDIERS in uniform and in a very forward st-ate of trail- ing took part in the actual review. Nominally, tho Brigade, commanded by Brig\?.d'H*r- General Owen Thomas, with Major Flower and Capt. Richard Lloyd George as his staff officers, comprises four battalions—the 13th (or 1st North Wales "Pals"), which Col. C. E. Willes com- mands; the 14th (or Carnarvon and Anglesey), commanded by Col.

After the toast of "The King," the BRIG- ADIER-GENERAL said that the other toasts and the eating of the leek would be jKistponed until the dinner was given by the officers m the evening, but General Mac-kiimon wished) to say a few words to the colonels of the battakoias. GENERAL SIR HENRY MACKINNON said he was exceedingly pleased with all he had eell that morning. There was a doubt in the mjoolS of many whether a Welsh Corps could be raised at all, and whether if raided it could be made efficient. The reason for the first doubt was tha.t they were to very late in starting. Secondly, they were so late in the field that they had drained "Tales of a great many recruits before he idea was started. From Monmouth alone 10,000 men were t.aken. If the idloo had been acted upon when the war started they would have been able to raise from Wales not an Army Corps but an nice (hear, hear). Th-e reason for the second doubt -as to whether the corps if raised could be made efficient—lay in the fact that being so Idte in the field it was very difficult to get ini'.iuc- tor. But the proof of the pnd'drn.g was in the eatimg, and he was able to congi-;ttt!tate t, c, ni- m,¡,nod,71g officers on* what tibey had JHMOI ti,at morning, and was sure that with the aiL!' ;,jni-I training which the officers could ir the men they would soon be worthy to take thfu- p.aie-4 by the side of hn Majesty's Regular Army. I THE WELSH CORPS' ORIGIN. The EARL O^ PLYMOUTH said the idea "f a Welsh Army Corys originated with the Ch.an- cellor, and' it v,a« -ci question at the outset whe- ther anything in that way could be achieved which would hi^rs i pr vt;d value. Th.e Welsh Army Corps Coxiauttee without trainin.g or mili- tary experience had done its best in this matter. But they realised they vcre only at the middle of their work, but 80 long as they had the ap- proval of the military authorities they would oun-- t i fl'JA. I MAJOR GENERAL SIR IVOR HERBERT, M. P., said the orgaJUrxUion 01 a Weiisii A.rmy Corps was a. -or.K of love and of eait-ii-witartic be- lief in the powers of the Principality. Years igo he had been- trying to make W ftlts appear as a military unit. He never dreamt it would require a great European war to realise that idea. But the idea was being realised, and he had no hesi- tation in saying that if they co,,il,.d eegi-egate those units of the British Army which belonged to Wales they would have not an Army Corps but an Army. When the present emergency pawed, as it would paS" by the efforts of the nationality, they were all so proud of, then Wales would assume another position in fche great. family of nations winch made up the British Lmpire, and would be recognised as one of the military forces of the Empire. GENERAL IVOR PHILIPPS eaid lie was proud of enjoying the greatest honour a Welsh- mn had ever liad, that of comma.ndasg the fir-st division of Welsh regular troop. What they had seen that day proved that tno^e troops were worthy. A distinguished sol-dier from the front who had twice been mentioned in di«.pateh«3 .,no twice rewarded by the King for his gallantry, tGlod him (General Philipps) that the I WELSH SOLDIERS HAD PROVED THEIR SUPERIORITY to any other fighting men in the world. That was supported by the beet evidence it was possible to produoo, and that was the evidence of General Sir John French himself, who in hia last ds- j patch mentioned certain regiments for distin- guished gallantry—some English, some Scotoh, and acme Irish. But in that diap.-itcli everyone of the Welsh regiments was me-ntioneJ, and a ,hiindii-ed per cent, oould not be bl-ik,teTI (ae- plause). Those who eaw those splendid laos marching past that moi-ning oould Elee that, every one of themn ww-s doing his very best, and tliat was tho spirit in which both officers and mer. were trying to perform their diffioult and strenu- ous duty, and to fit themselves to repre- sent. their country in tho King's Army (clieers). MR J. E. GREAVES, Lord-Lieutenant of CaniarvoiiBfure, congratulated General Owen Thomas on tlie success which had attended the formation of the 1st Brigade of the Welsh Army Corps, a 8U<x'<?s I?rg&ly due to th C?oneral's un. f)agg'M? energy, whioli w?s overcoming all fia.ggi,fig energy, whl. d i ivw ovf- roon-iing all Mr Greaves tlien proposed the toast of "GIra.1 Owen Thomas," whioli was musically Itonoured. During the luncheon i-he hrigadp onoir. om- duot'?d by- Sergeant-Major Singleton, no!lIJe,roe-d several Weleh airs outside the hotel, and seieo- T/ions were given by a Welsh harpist in the di.nii:ig-room.

MEETING OF THE WELSH ARMY CORPS COMMITTEE. CONTRIBUTIONS TOWARDS BATTALION FUNDS. After the "luncheon all important meeting of the Executive Committee of the Welsh Army Executive Oommiiitee was held, under the pre- sidency of Lord Plymouth, and was attended by the Chancellor of the Exchequer. The proceed, iiigs were private, but it was reported that Sir Ivor Hei-bert submitted a sc-heme for reei-uititig. The matter was discussed a-t great length, the Chancellor taking a k-adiing part. Generally it was acknowledged that recruiting in Wales hid been extremely good. The Chancellor spoke in favour of Sir Ivor Herbert's scheme, and pro- posed its adoption on the understanding tha.t it was submitted to the War Offioe for approval through Sir Henry Maekinnan, the General com- manding the We«e*rn Division. Another matter dealt with was the necessity of raising battalion funds, and it was decided to do go. Promises of £100 each were made by Sir Ivor Herbert, Sir Watkin Wynne, a.nd Mr D. A. Thomas, and of £ 50 by General Sir Ivor Philippe, commanding the 1st Division. Mention was also made of the forming of a teill. peranoo battalion, but this was discouraged.
