TIIE ENEMY AT HOME.
TIIE ENEMY AT HOME. 1tecently a deputation of eight workmen fr()Ul the establishment of Mesfcrs YV. Beard- 41ore and Co. at Parkhead, went to the front V* ^landers in order that they might tee lor cniselves the situation and the need of our in relation to the imperative demand *^<te by the Government for an increased and Accelerated output of munitions of war. This was accompanied by Mr W. Brodie, the Scottish organising delegate of the Amal- ga.t-ed Society of Engineers. Every facility as given' by the military authorities to tne inquiry which the deputation had in hand. lh men from the Ciyaeside workshops talked reely with their comrades under arms in the trenches. This trip to the Continent—pro- ably unique in the records of war—taught t.h08e who took part in it an impressive lesson r°0i hard facts. When the travellers re- ttrned to this country, Mr Brodie, who acted 46 their spokesman, expre&sed one of the con- tusions tney had drawn from tneir experience V1 a notewrtny piirase. "Tne men at the trout are at the mercy of the men at home." Lloyd George has more than once insisted the same point with the force of cured Jetton which ne commands. Recently, when J6 addressed a meeting of employees and • orkpeo|)le representing the engineering and tal industries of teouiii Wales, he declared, I ha,-e heard it said many times by busi- ess men: 'Time means money.' 'lime here" ?"? the organisation of our bupply of muni- ?ons of war—"means lives." l'b National Government has effectually Recognised this truth. Throughout the coun- h Y employers as a body and organised labour "e reeognised it. It is amazing to hnd hat failure to give it adequate recognition :II¡¡ most conspicuous in the House oi Com- taotls. Obstacles have been placed in the ay of the smooth and rapid progress of the fruitions Bill, which is tne legislative em- ^iiuient of the nation's resolve to give our ^y the means of victory, the means of ^minating the waste, the ineffectual sacri- ce, of the country's bravest eons. The ob- ^Uction comes from two groups. A section f the most embarrassing supporters of the late Liberal Government consists of political jJ^ybodies who have never been able to bene- t by the tradition that tends to make the Ol18e of Commons a place for the consulta- T"DII of practical minds with high purpose in the interest of the nation. A seat in Varlia- €ut is to orators of this group all abiding ?Pportunity for airing the peculiar superior- ly in wisdom of which faddists and faction- 's always believe themselves to be the chosen ePoeitory and for advertising personalities Jo/hich. in the opinion of the advertisers, are legated by political leaders and the public the most unjustified obscurity and im- «*°tence. These Parliamentary piiarisees can- not rid themselves of the longing for self- ^ertion at all costs. In the supreme hour the nation's ordeal, they can see in the Concentration of public attention, in the 4111[iety and determination of the whole lIeoPle, only a sombre background providing Marvellously fine relief for their usually ifiregarded antics and posturing. We have little doubt that the electors will deal faith- I-u IIY with them when they once more present eJnseIves complacently at the polls.
- FOOTING THE BILL. I
FOOTING THE BILL. I There is one way in which practically every tizen can assist in the successful prosecu- tIon of the war. And this he or she can do ih advantage to the individual as well as the nation. With the exception of those ho are practically destitute, we can all save j amount and invest it in the new Waj 4all to which even so small a sum as five filings can be contributed, and every penny tl?at is so used will be alike a patriotic and a Profitable investment. In the notable speeches which they delivered 1: London this week, Mr Asquith and Mr Law clearly stated the common duty this respect and emphasised the vital neces- ."y for personal thrift as a means of securing thl' maximum contribution to the national War chest. We should all remember that ? for the valour of our sailors and soldiers d the Fleets and Armies of our loyal Allies ? e ?ght no longer be able peaceably to earn ,? living and enjoy the fruits of our efforts. ■ j16 comfort and security we retain in these ?ads are bought and paid for with the t lÕOd of OUT brave defenders. They are cheer- ?"V willing to make that attained and t supreme sacrifice for us, and for the safety, honour and welfare of the Empire that stanus for liberty and equal justice. But unless the civilian reiiiaindm of the nation does its duty by its armed forces, the heroic efforts of our soldiers and sailors may be in vain. In pre- vious and lesser wars the Navy and Army have fought and the nation has watched. ill the present war the whole race has a definite part to play, and our future welfare depends on the manner in which we now perioral our manifest duty. It is, as Mr Bonar Law has rightly said, for all of us to endure as good eoldiers to the end." "We can trust our soldiers. What they have done they will do till the end. They are the spear-head, but it is tne nation ao home wnivn is going to drive it home." What is mostly required from "the nation at home" at the present stage of the war is an unceasing and increasing supply of muni- [ tions and money, which axe interdependent since the latter is largely needed and used for the provision of the former. The duty of every citizen is to save for Britain and, if he possesses the necessary skill and physique, to work for Britain if his right place is not with the Colours. The new l'ational Govern- ment has provided easy and profitable ways in which both these things can be done, and our national future and tue well-being of the whole civilised world depend on the use to which we put those opportunities. By now we should all realjsc the truth of Mr Bonar Law's words:—"At a time like this, in her hour of danger, our country has a right to call upon every one of us to take all we have, what we can ùo, and what we can place at the disposal of the country in her need." By freely offering all we have we shall save it. By withholding it we run a grave risk of being robbed of it by a cruel and unscrupulous fee whose main ambition is our destruction.

EDITORIAL NOTES.. I How to Save Nine Millions. I The new rvataonal Government has urgently appealed to all classes to strengthen the position of the country in the present crisis by personal economic^. One important department in which "almost every family can make a timely response by the exercise of knowledge which can be easily acquired and oare that ie not exacting was under discussion at the lecent conference of the Society of Medical Offioers of Health in London. Dr. H. Meredith Richards, who is vice-chairman of the National Heah Insurance Committee for Wales, in an address on "Thrift in Food Sup- plies," fiuggpsted that "A oommitt-ee of the Ro- ciety of Medical Officers of Health should at once issue an authoritative statement of the ways in which economy in food may be secured. This should be accompanied by suggested menus, selec- ted with due regard to the cooking facilities of a working-class household,and ae a further step he ad- vocated the preparation of a course of popular ;ec- tures. If economy to the extent of only id per head per week were brought about, there would be a saving of over L9,OUO,000 per annum." The italics are ours. Arvon Liberals and their Candidate. Arvon Liberals have at length selected their candidate in place of the lato Mr William Jones. Out of a smail host of aspirants for the honour, four :.NLIR Caradoo Sees, barrister-at-law, who was defeated in Denbigh Boroughs at the last elec- tion; Mr Ellis W. Roberts; Mr Evan R. Davies, clerk to the Carnarvonshire Education Com- mittee; and the Rev. W. F. Phillips, of Pen- msenmawr, who, some years ago, unsuccessfully contested the Gower division in South Wales— were submitted to the consideration of the local Liberal Associations. This business has occupied the electors for some weeks, all four candidates meantime touring the constituency advocat- ing their respective claims. The result was an easy win for Mr Caradoc Rees, who, in the ab- sence of a Unionist or Labour opponent, will now apparently be returned to St. Stephens un- opposed. Liberals, no less than Unionists and Labour men of the more thoughtful type, Cannot but regret the necessity for the somewhat un- edifying proceedings of the past few wcekj. Had the electorate been in the throes of a general elec- tion they would have exparienced little more fuss, and certainly less internal wrangling thaa have charaotqrifccd this purely party arrange- ment. How the War Began. I We commend to our readers careful considera- tion of a most instructive booklet entitled, "The Great War and how it arose," which can be ob- tained, free of cost, on application to the Parlia- mentary Recruiting Committee, at 12, Downing- street, London, S. W. This pamphlet proves be- yond all controversy that in 1914 Germany fol- lowed the policy of aggression to which she had previously adhered, and deliberately forced an up- peal to the arbitrament of the sword at a moment which she regarded as supplying her best oppor- tunity. As this instructive booklet "tates :The past history of Germany shows that she has always made her wars at her 'selected moment,' and the preeent war is no exception to that estab- lished rule. The names of the ladies and gentlemen who are supporting the appeal for subscriptions to- wards the North Wales Nursing Association are a sufficient guarantee to the public that the in- stitution is in every way worthy of support. As will be seen from the appeal, which we publish in another column, there is urgent need for greater financial support to enable the Association to carry on its work. The honorary financial secre- tary, Mr Foster, some time ago made a remark- ably successful appeal on behalf of the funds of the Carnarvonshire and Anglesey Infirmary, and it is confidently hoped that his effort on behalf of the North Wales Nursing Association, cover- ing as it does six counties, will be equally well responded to. D'strict nursing has now come to be regarded as an essential factor to the well-being of a com- munity. In the towns the services of nurses are naturally much more available than in rural dis- tricts, and to supply the deficiency in the latter is among the objects of the North Wales Associa- tion. In country places, where nurses are estab- lished, their work among the sick poor is of in- calculable benefit, and by providing the Associa- tion with ample funds we can hope to gee the work extending until the most remote villages share in the privileges which more populous areas now enjoy. "France's Day"—that is what Wednesday next will be termed, and the reason is that opportuni- ties will be afforded on that day throughout the kingdom for the people to contribute towards the French Red Cross, which has expended a great deal of time and money in attending to British soldiers wounded at the Front. The initiative has been taken by the Lord Mayor of London who, in turn, has elicited the support of all Lord Mayors, Lord Provosts, Mayors and Provosts throughout the United Kingdom. Let us show our Allies that we are not unmindful of the humanitarian work they are doing at this critical time, and that we are determined to express our gratitude in a practical way. All the members of the British Red Cross Society will help to make "France's Day" a success, and in thij they will, doubtless, receive the hearty co-operation of a host of philanthropic persons. lady Magdalen Williams-Bulkeley, in her letter in another column, emphasisis this country's obligations to the French Red Cross. Collecting cards will be placed in all the Anglesey banks on Wednesday, and a. similar arrangement wiil be made in Carnarvonshire. There is one way in which the movement could be materially assist- ed; and we offer the suggestion feeling that its adoption will be beneficial. If the clergy and ministers of all denominations would next Sun- day direct the attention of their congregations to the fact that collections will be made the follow- ing Wednesday towards the French Red Cross it would help to make it as widely known as pos- sible. The Surveyor's Committee of the Carnarvon- shire County Council recommended that a war bonus of two shillings each per week be paid to all the county roadmen. The Finance Commit- tee, however, regarded it as too comprehensive a proposal to be accepted without first of all hav- ing a statement of the number of men coming within its scope, and other details as to the ex- penditure which the adoption of the recommenda- tion would entail. The County Council yesterday supported the Finance Committee, and the mat- ter is deferred pending further information. One member stated that the granting of the war bonus would mean an additional expenditure of R-2060. It is very easy to call the tune, but the unfor- tunate ratepayer will have to pay the piper. The increased cost of the necessities of life affects us all, and it would be a good thing for the country if the Government took drastic steps to regulate the price of foodstuffs. To urge people to econo- mise is right and proper, but the high prices—in many cases not commensurate with the cost of the raw material—charged for commodities in general use makes it difficult to economise. Aberystwyth people are profiting by the ex- perience of Bangor with regard to the National Eisteddfod, and they are not going to run the risk of arranging for the Festival to be held in their town next year. They have decided to wait until the war is over, and undoubtedly that is the best course to take under the circumstances. The atmosphere of the Eisteddfod is one of peace, and it flourishes best when the sword is sheathed, while, from a financial point of view, to hold the gathering when the country is in an unsettled state is to court failure.

A PATRIOTIC BOARD. REMARKABLE RECORD. "Reading the interesting contribution relative to the number of directors of The Cheshire Observer serving with His Majesty's Forces" (writes a correspondent in The Newspaper World), "I think. it will be equally interesting to your readers to know that several of the directors of The North Wales Chronicle and the male members of their families have been or are serving with the Forces. Lord Penrhyn, the chairman of the Board, has rejoined his old regiment, the Royal Horse Guards. His lordship's iamily have suffered greater bereavement by the war than almost any other county family in the kingdom. His eldest son and heir, Mr Alan Douglas Pennant, has been missing since 'ast October, and no tidings have yet been received oi him. His lordship has also lost his half-brother, itLx G. Douglas i'eJUiant, ana many oilier relatives. Colonel Lloyd Evans, another director, is in command of one of the new bat- talions of the Royal Welsh Fusiliers, and one of hia BO us has been wounded in the trenches.

There are now unmistakable signs that the banks, insurance companies, joint-stock com- panies, trade unions, and others who have large sums of money at their command are applying for much larger allotments of the new War Loan than they did in the case of the last issue. The Manchester and Liverpool District Banking Company have subscribed for no less than £ 2,000,000. Other leading banks also, when they have completed their balance-sheets to the 30th June and ascertained the extent to which their customers are likely to withdraw balances, may be expected to apply for large amounts. Mr J. Burn, chief actuary of the Prudential Assurance Company, stated yesterday that they have decided to increase the investments of the Company in the new War Loan to 25,000,000.

INORTH WALES NURSINGI' ASSOCIATION.
I NORTH WALES NURSING ASSOCIATION. APPEAL FOR FUNDS.. As honorary financial secretary of the North Wales Nursing Association, Mr W. A. Foster, of Glyn Menai, Bangor, has issued an appeal on behalf of the funds of this admirable in- stitution, which has for its object tho train- ing of village nurses. In soliciting the finan- cial support of all interested in tne work of the Association Mr Foster says:— "Notwithstanding the many calls being made during the present critical times, may I beg you to be so very good as to help this Association with an annual subscription to- wards its funds? This appeal is made by me at the request of the President of the Associa- tion, Laay Mostyn; the Lord Lieutenant of Carnarvonshire, Chairman; and Miss Davies of Treborth, Hon. Secretary of the Association since its inception in 1910. "On behalf of His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales Mr Walter Peacocn, M.V.O., writes from Buckingham Palace on April 12th By the King's wishes the Prince of Wales is not accepting the patronage of any associations or institutions, other than a few of which His Majesty was patron when Prince of Wales, until His Royal Highness attains the age of 21 years. 1 need hardly say that the Prince ot Wales heartily sym- 2iathises with the objects of the North Wales Nursing Association.' "As showing the urgent need for such an appeal I quote the following extract from the [lion. Treasurer's letter to tne annual meeting held in March: 'The adverse balance witn which the Association commences this year's work brings home to us the serious state of our finances. The estimate of our probable receipts and payments for 1915, based on the average for the last three years, leaves no margin for the training of any nurses this year, and therefore we must at once face the fact that, in order to continue the excellent work of the Association uninterruptedly, we shall need nearly < £ 600 in additional subscrip- tions without delay.' "I venture to hope this appeal will not be made in vain, and that, in your goodness, you will see your way to become a subscriber, and so mater- lally assist in what will undoubtedly be a difficult task at the present time—of increasing the tub- ecription list by JB600 a yeur—deserving as the Association is of the support of all who are in- terested in the cause ot district nursing. Life governors are donors of Lloo and upwards, with a seat on the Council. Patrons are donors of JS10 and upwards at one time. The working ex- penses of this appeal have been generously pro- vided, so that all monies subiorioed go directly to the Association." The appeal is generally supported throughout North Wales, among the ladies and tontiemen cordially approving of it being the Marchioness of Anglesey, the Countess of Dundonald, Lord and Lady Mostyn, Lord and Lady Penrhyn, tile Hon. Mrs Henry Mostyn, Lord Kenyon, Lord Harlech,'Lord and Lady Sheffield, Lady Juliet Duff, Lady Aesheton-Smith, Lady Boston, Lady Magliaien VYiihams-Bulkeley, Lady Ellis-Isanney, Lady Osmond W illiams, the Lord-Lieutenant (Mr J. oK Greaves), Syr W. W. Wynn, Bart., Sir W. H. Tate, Bart., and Lady Tate, Mr.> Wynne Finch, the Hon. Mrs Laurence Brodrick, Lady Hughes-Hunter, Mrs Holds worth, Mrs Lloyd George, Mrs Davies, Treborth, IVliss Davies, Mr J. R. Davies, Cens; Mrs Gough, Caerhun; Lady Turner, Lady Roberts, Bryng «venaLt; Mrs Lilis Griffith. Col. David Davies, Llandinam; Sir J. Pridlard Jones, Bart., Mrs Godfrey Fitziiugh, Mr L. C. Jones-Mortimer, and others. The two sheets of lithographed facsimile signa- turc.s of the above-named and others supporting the appeal are specially interesting, and auto- graph collectors will consider them well worth preserving. In addition to influence which, the personalities represented gives to the appeal, the document should in itself 00 of considerable help in -making the needs of the Association better known.
LIEUT. CHARLES DOUGLAS I PENNANT.
LIEUT. CHARLES DOUGLAS I PENNANT. News has now been received by Lady Edith Douglas Pennant of the death of her husband, Lieut, the Hon. Charles Douglas Pennant, of the ColdstreamGuardi. In October of i&st year Md- Pen- nant's name was included in the list of "wounded and missing," and though numerous inquiries have been made it is only now that definite m- formation as to his death has been received. Mr Douglas Pennant, of Soh-am House, New- market, wiio was the third son of the late L'wd Penrhyn, was born at Wicken, Northamptonshire, on October 7th, 1877. He was educated at Evel- yna, Eton, and Sandhurst, joined the 60th Rifles, and was later translerred to the Codstieam Guards. He served in South Africa, was pre- sent at Belmont, Madder River, Diamond Hill, etc., and was twice mentioned in dispatches. At the clos-c of the war he became A.D.C. to Sir Reginald Pole-Carew, and joined the Reserve of Ofhcers in 1905, when he married Lady Edith Anne D-, wson, elder daughter of the Earj of Dart- rey. Lieut. C. D. Pennant joined his regi- ment on the outbreak of the war, and went to France on September 11th. He was reported mis ring after an action on Thursday, October Zdth, near Gheluvelt. His brother, Captain the Hon. G. H. Dougl aa Pennant, felt at Neuve Chapeilo on March lltli last, and his nephew, Lieut, the Hon. A. G. S.

NO CHEAP BOOKINGS FOR! THE EISTEDDFOD. PROPOSED ABANDONMENT OF CHORAL AND BAND CONTESTS. Some months ago, when discussing the prospects of the National Eisteddfod this year at Bangor, we emphasised the fact that it was highly improbable the Railway Com- panies would be in a position to grant cheap bookings for Bangor curing Eisteudlod week. Thougn our statement was based upon good authority, it was contradicted by the General Secretary of the Eisteddfod. To-morrow (Saturday) afternoon a meeting of the Executive Committee will be held to consider a recommendation of the Finance Committee that in view of the fact that cheap bookings cannot be arranged the choral com- petitions, band contests, and the Saturday concert be abandoned. It appears that the choral and band entries were conditional upon cheap railway fares being granted.

Wished His Death Announced in the North Wales Chrcnicte Private George Albert Bartlett, brother to Mrs Hughes, 18, Jubilee-street, Llandudno, who was serving at the front with the Grenadier Guards, has been killed. A comrade in a letter to his sister describing the death states:—"You must accept my deepest sympathy for the mis- fortune that followed your brave brother, George, during the engagement which was fought be- tween the 9th and 14th March. George was a very brave and fearless soldier, such as England produces, and which encourages the young soldiers to fight alongside such brave men. George got wounded during that engagement, and poor fellow he succumbed to his injuries after the am- bulance men of the Grenadiers had done itheir very utmost to save his valuable life, and he now lies, where he fell, and has a lovely cross over his grave. His body lies in France, but the King of all Kings has claimed his soul. He- gave his life for his countrv. Please let all his old friends know about his death through the North.

ITHE FRENCEn CROSS.
I THE FRENCEn CROSS. I WEDNESDAY NEXT TO BE OBSERVED AS I "FRANCE'S DAY." (To the Editor). 1 Sir,—I have just received the following letter from the British Red Crosi Society, and shall be glad if you will publish the came in your columns:— British Red Cross Society, 83, Pall Mall, London, S. W., 29th June, 1915. I have the honour to bring to your notice that the French Ambassador and the Freach Red Cross have arranged that Wednesday, the 7th July., shall be set aside for a special eiiort to be inatie throughout the Lnitod Kingdom on be- half of the French Red Cross, and permission has been recei ved for the day to be known se "France's Day." The Lord Mayor of London has written to all the Lord Mayors, the Lord Provosts, Mayors, and Provosts of the United Kingdom asking them to do everything in their power to con- tribute to the success of the day, and to secure the handsomest results posilble for the French Red Cross, who are so nobly performing their humanitarian duty of alleviating the suherings of our gallant Allies. It is only right that we who are engaged in the same work for our own soldiers should do all that we can to help the French Red Cross, and I am instructed by my committee to express the hope that you will put yourself in com- munication with the Mayors comprised in your district, with a view to giving them all the assistance in your power m carrying out the work which the Lord Mayor of London has .asked them to undertake. I am further instructed to express the hope that you will call upon your members, asso- dates, and everyone connected with the British Red Cross Society in your county to co- operate to the fullest extent in their power in order that in this way we may show our French Al.ies our appreciation of the friendship which so happily exists between fee countries.—I have the honour to be, your obedient servant, (Signed) FRANK HASTINGS, Sec. It is important to everyone who has a relative in the fighting line that some effort should be made now to assist the French Red CrSSs, who have spent so much of their time and money in relieving our own soldiers wounded at the front. In Anglesey arrangements have been made to p'iace on Wednesday next a collecting card in each branch bank throughout the county, so as to give tne public an opportunity of assisting in -his very desirable object.—Yours, etc. MAGDALEN BCLKELEY, President of the Anglesey Braaeh, British Red Cross Society. Baron Hill, Beaumaris.

CORON LAKE LAW SUIT. (To the Editor.) j Sir,-Twa letters appeared a week or two ago in the Clorianydd under the heading Cynghaws Llyn Coron." it is not very ditticulf to con- jecture their source nor the object of their publica- tion. At the last meeting of the Cbuncil held at Bangor, on June 18th, I was directed to make the tollowing observations on the subject to the readers of your paper. 1. The letter written by the Rev. Ellis H. Griffith, B.A., appeared in extenso, but that written by Mr 1. Prichard was not so. 2. Amongst the Council s witnesses were Churchmen, Methodists (one deacon), Independ- ents (one Minister), and Wesieyans.. The wit- nesses on the other side were the steward, the under-steward, and one of the estate workmen. This is no indication "that parties and sects go against each other." 3. An application was made by the Llangad- waladr Parish Council for the assistance' of the District Council prior to the dates of the published letters. 4. The Council unanimously passed a vote of thanks to the Rev. E. H. Gritfith, and ordered it to be recorded on their minutes.— Y ours," etc., R. BENJAMIN EVANS, Clerk to the Aethwy Rural District Council
