I THE RALLY.
I THE RALLY. With the rest of the country, Breconshire and Radnorshire took part in the recruiting rally last Saturday. The results of such meetings cannot be seen immediately. Once again, the need for more, and yet more, men was emphasised in stirring speech and fervent appeal. If the ycung men, who are physically fit, but who have not yet enlisted. I or entered- in some way or other into the service of their country, do not by now realise the seriousness of the situation of their country's need, it is not the fault of the Parliamentary Recruiting Committee. The organisers of these meetings have left nothing undone, so far as they are con- cerned, to make the gatherings successful. That vast numbers of men must be further recruited is obvious to anyone of average intelligence. Our recent victories on the Western front make the call the more urgent and imperative. The real struggle in this stupendous world conflict is but be- ginning. If the final triumph of the Allies is to be achieved—as it must and will be-- the brilliant successes of our valiant army must be followed up. This cannot be done without making good the wastages, which, alas, pay the price of courage and heroism and seli-sacrifice. We do not wish to enter: into the controversy of voluntaryism versus compulsion. We are content in the midsat of a life and death struggle with the system which our Government thinks best. We must trust the men at the helm. We note it was hinted by one speaker at the Talgarth meeting that this would be the last appeal made for voluntaryism. We hope not and we think not. We still believe that we shall end this war successfully with free service. In practically a few months we have raised a voluntary army on a scale hitherto unknown in iiistory. It has giwm us, up to now, all the men we have asked for, and we have yet to see whether this further asking will fall on deaf ears. At all events we can leave it to the wisdom of those in authority, and make it our bounden duty, in the meantime, to spare no efforts in pro- curing yolunteers. There are other methods of voluntary recruiting than by. appeals from the public platform. We still think, as we pointed out sometime ago, that a systematic personal canvass by the influ- ential men of the respective districts would be more effective. Such men could explain the real situation to the recruitable man and to the employer who may be loath to let his sons or workmen go, with greater torce and better results than appeals in public. We hear .complaints that the farmer is not doing his best to spare men. The farmer must be told by men he knows and trusts how necessary it is for his children's future-if not his own—that even he must make the greatest sacrifice, as the squires' sons in the fighting line are making the supreme sacrifice. The farmer is faced with difficulties we know-so too is every business man-but there are some farmers, we fear, who have sacrificed very little so far. We hope that the suggestions made in the letter sent to District Councils by one of our Deputy Lieutenants of the County some I time ago, will result in this personal canvass method of recruiting being given a fair trial and acted upon with earnestness. j

The death is announced of Sir Thomas BLickilill, Judge of the High Court from 1899 to 1914. S,ir Thomas will be well remembered at Brecon i" connection with the great Doldymmer right-fli-way case, which occupied the Assize Court for a whole Meek.

Two or three centuries ago pony-hunting used to be one of the favourite j amusements of the W elsh farmers and peasantry- They used to catch the wild ponies with the lasso, the use of the lasso being then quite familiar to the Welshman, who wielded it with aH the skill of j an American cowboy. Welsh ponies were, in tho? days, sold for £ 4 or ?5 apiece. days, sold for C4 or X5 apiece. The sale of Llangattock Court property at Crickhowell brings to mind very forcibly the name of an old worthy, the late Mr Thomas Dav- ies. Mr Davies lived at Llangattock Court for many years, and was, for a very long period, agent to the latefr Crawshav Bailev. he who "had a injin." He acted for the Bailey family in the early days of their career, and was looked upon more as a friend than an agent. He died at Mr Bailey s house in 'London, and the old gentleman, when passing the coffin in the hall, always tapped it with his stick, and addressed it with a. Gekxl morning, Tom," or a." Good eyening, Tom," as the case may be. > Extracts from letters' sent by Pte. T. R. Caradog Jones (E Company, 1st Brecknockshire Battalion, South Wales Borderers) to his parents, who live at Tvisaf, Llanafanfawr, give interest- ing impressions of the regiment's life in India. Writing on August 8th, Pte. Jones says "We have had a move at last and are well on our way up to the new station, which is called Mhow. It was not a very rough journey, and I quite enjoyed it.

He was promoted captain on April 2nd last. Born in 1865, Capt. Williams is a soli of the late Judge Gwilym Williams, and a brother to Capt. A. S.

Ilie recent increase in the popularity of the Munsev Magazine" is largely due to the com- plete hill-lengtlj novel by 4 leading writer which appears m each number. Amongst the novelists "dIOse work has already been published are Joseph Conrad. E. Phillips Oppenheim. Sir Gilbert Park- er, Anthony Hope, the Baroness Orczy, C.N.. and A. -At. ,\Yilliamson, Tom Gallon, and Agnes and Egerton Castle. In the September number is given the first half of Arnold Bennett's new and, powerful novel, "These Twain," which is the third of the series, pourtraying the life of Edwin Clay lunger and Hilda Lessways. It was the edi- tor s intention to present the whole of this novel in the September number, but. owing to its great engtli, it has been necessary to divide it, the first haff appearing in the September number, just issued and the remainder in the October number. The -Xlu"sey. contains other interesting features, and the new issue constitutes a remarkable liter- ary iilxpeniiyworth.
