Tiiat Saturday cf 1910. when the ambulance trains went slowly, at half-hourly inter- vals all day, down' the Somni# alley to Boulogne—and for mam- days and nights thereafter—it be- gan to daw a upon the nation that everyone had to be in this new and very terrible sort of war. A year has passed since the Armistice was signed, and, as be- fore t. tie re were people who had to learn, in painful experience that tho war touched them very closely, ami demanded cf them almost as .much as of the soldiers, so to-day there are people who have to learn thart the making of peace is not to be aeec-rn- jfp'ished by signing documents at ersailles, but that the process is 1 1 l' 1 going to be as laborious, and as trying—in quite another form, of c (.i ii r -i the making of Avar. After five years devoted whole- souled to the nds of destruction, after five years o| and de- vastating, are we miracle-vcrkerg who can say "Let there be peace' I Let sweetness smile upon us agnin; Let us resume where we left off!" Go stand upen the rubble that once was La Bassee, go stand amid the shattered walls ef Yprcs or Arras," and say truthfully wiibin yourself that the world can go on exactly at the place where it stopped in 1914 The rubble that once was La. Bassee, the shattered walls of 1 pres and Arras, are symbols of a shattered world. There is con- fusion everywhere. The track of ruin does not end at Kieuport; it stretchover the universe.

What of ourselves ? Over five years, immense problems have been heaped iip, problems th:tl have grown mcry. intense by delay, problems that go deep down into our constitutional foundations. \Y< are indeed like one of those cities ¡ o late. if not prostrate at least shattered.

A Coalition has its disadvantages. It means give and take. But it it the only safe mode of government for troubled days such as ours. We have to rebuild our shattered health.

It is pretty well known, we believe, ¡ tha' there lies TO BE something out of the ordinary in a dinner for a ease-hardened journalist to be opthusiastie over it. Before long I'e(!' S to regard such a, ?i, ,?c, t.l?o ot]Ler things I t1tHtoaH for his attendance, mere en- garments." To the v. iit^r, iherefore, the excetlcnt spirit ct'?'Dturd?y night's ??thfring appealed as T(fre&hi\g ?nd unique.

The dinner was pnt on according 10 IK st traditions of tho Hotel Cameron, and j reflw:t(Hl great credit upon the host. THE LlADuR." After the toast of The King," by the Ch.urinan, Mr. W. J. Crocker, in proposing The Leader said it v»as rather a difficult thing to prooose such a T^art In the pre- sence of so many gentlemen of the Pres. hut lie if-it he was weJl-fitted to rise to I h" occasion, as he had seine of the earliest reeolkctions of a with the Cambria Daily Leader." He had carefully marked its progress durmg the yeaj-A il,) to the present time, a pro- gress which con 1(1 easily be recognised by the presence of such a large staff. The Press was an influence for good, and be had never heen ashamed of the "Leader." ITe was always proud to quote it. It was clean in every respect, and it was des- tined to ba evct) n greater influence in the Town of Swansea and over West Wales. It had always &tood strongly and effec- tively for tho cause of Pi-ogres*. It had alw.typi stood with the weak. It had ('arHd oní fnr itself a po«j!iop of impor- tuac? in ?f):.h sx'i?! and poUttc?l lifo. end he was convinced that that position would he widened. I TI-IE TRADITION OF THE "UEADER." I Very T. Wil- liants (nianaging editor) responded In the name of you -,III-iii tl,,p name of the companionship of the "'Lender. The term compr.nionship," he remarked, was technically confined to the printing ilepartment, but he beliwcd he could t; .ithfally sa.y timt in l he lite of the; Leudfr they were all a conipaflioaship i:1 the best, highest and most gracious j Fynse ot the word. (Applause). T he."

(.V/P'A I, C'I. He thought they were this bo'-aot* thev e I loved the Leader." Around hiei v.-jie n-u sv w ho had grown grey in service for 'he chi I paper—" Bill Willismsi, Hee/or Tfooimv I Sid Jewell. Tom Jones (th>ir fatb!"r "t. Alec Peters. Bill Sims, to mention but a fsw. lie WIHI himself no chicken in the service, for he was this year completing his 27th year, in one eapaeity and ano- ther from errand boy to alitor. He loved her devoutly, lie said lier because the paper was a personal thing to him— and he believed the younger members who had less service than hhoiie of whom he had spoken gnd himself loved her too. She was a paper with traditions. When Swansea received nor University College Charter they would be proud to remember that the Leader gpve the lead to the University movement in Swansea. (Ap. plause.) In the paper's history it would be «ome>&intf worth while to know that it had this ehare in the fenndiog of a great c.oll»jjf« that would transform the very form of Swansea. He hoped the shaYe the oewspaper wa5 now ptivileged t-a take in the advotacy of the fund for the buUd. u? of the Holiday Home in Cower for the chUdrea of f&Uca foldiersH-(applai.^e) ? -wbile laelpin,- a great cause, wouM do ftoniPthing to heighten those traditions ef service. He thanked them for the way the toast had been received, and he was sure thfy v.-ould all pull together, doing wI:t c: -)ld to mllke the paper's in- lfuei)0e pr? f)tr6n?r than it was to-day.  (App????.' "THE FIGHTING MEN," i Proposing liie i- igiitmg .i(-1)," Mr. David ivcoerts qaerieu.bis suitability lor the task, sjjB'ce ne viag anions those who by age were prevented iiom helping in the great mihtary victory. He had been, however, recently privileged make a fcour of somo of the devastated regions, and that had brought a realisation 01 the havoc such as not even the most magniii- t^nt pictures could give. Une felt it mar- vgHoua; tiiat many of tiifir young fel- lowt who bravely Volunteered to pioteet I their destinies and interest^ should haro returned. It was bacau^e 01 them that they were able so to meet that night. (Hear, Hear.- They were proud t-h-it when the call came the staff of the Leader were not wanting—(applause)--and 50 per cent., if not more, offered themselves. Unfortun- ately five of these had not returned. But of those who had come, through suocess- luily, alt but one hAd returned to the paper from the Services, and that one they hoped would be back soon. They had J served on almost every front. His little experience in Germany was 1 that whatever the Germans thought: of us before the war, they respected us a great deai more now. He believed if they were would say the English were u<?t as contemptible as they formerly be- lieved! He coupled with the toast the naijie of Mr. Trevor 0. Morgan. (Ap- plause.) THE MEN WHO WENT. I Mr. Trevor Morgan (6th Welsh Kegi- nicnf) news editor, In lesponding. said, 0:1 behalf of the members of the staff who joined the Navy, Army, and Air Force, he wished to thank the directors and staff of Ow" Cambria Daily Leader" for the cordial way in which they had received the men back again. Luckily, there were not many who had not returned. He was the first to join up, and was glad to say luj had come buck without being wounded, "lilt able to take up his duties again.

He wolild say deliberat-dy that he never wished to work for a better firm than he Nvas w ork i n g for lie was voicing the opimon of the stall m so saying. He would like to ex. press the- thanks of" the staff to Mr. J. D. Williams, their eelitor, to the directors, Mr. Dan Thomas, and Mr. David Roberts, and to everybody who had contributed to the success of the furictii>n. THE Qj HECTORS. Mr. W. Phillips (the accountant) nest proposed the toast of The. Directors. They all appreciated, 3 said, the direc- tors' kindness and courtesy in arranging that dinner, and in attending that even- ing. it went very far to prov^ the ooruia) legations that existed between the direc- tors and the staS. .Mr. Del. Roberts, J.P in reply, said the tunction was one which they, as a Board, had been looking forward to for a very long time. They had more than "Dee wanted (he opportunity of meeting their iaraily together, but the circumstancef- of the last four or live years had prevented that. What the directors felt was that they wanted to get in closer touch with t.he staff. They wanted to know each other better, because they were proud of the property they were looking after, and proud of the staff. They were all proud of the LcadrT for the position it held in Swansea ami the district, This was not to say that they were satisHcd! They w[;Dh the pap?r to bo still more in- fluential. They }:ad a programme in view for developing the paper even on much greater l;»es than at present, and they wanted nti io feel they were putting their hearts and$37]Is into the work. He hoped that that opportunity of meeting each other would be the forerunner ot many others, when they would get to know each other even better. He thanked them very much for the way thev had re- cciveel the Jnast. and wished all a very enjoyable Christmas and hoped that the New Year would be a more prosperous one than they had ever experienced. CHAIRMAN'S REPLY. 1 Also responding, the Chairman expressed his jox et being present to see the steff enjoying themselves so thor.iujdily.$tp"h | enjoyment would net have been possible i if th" relations between them and the directors were not the possible. (Ap- plause.) Speaking on behalf cf the pro- prietors, h. echoed what Mr. David Roberts had saiel, and added, that they were anxious to be model employers in the newspaper World in Wales. But the staff must shore the task of making the leader a pioneer newspaper in the land. Already in London it was regarded as one of the hc.st provincial evenings, anel he rpioted the opinion of a highly placed member of th: staff of the Star (surely the best of the evening papers?) that tlil" Leader is really a splendid thing. In the share it was ta king j n the advo- • e.ncv of the Children's Holiday Horn" Fund, the "Leader" was engaged on or," of the most ambitious tasks, well the most deserving one, to which it had set itself. He urged everybody on the staff to become missionaries fop the Fund, and so gratify, at any rate, ene man, for if ,T.D.TV." had his heart in anything, it There were'plenty of ricn turn in Swansea who coulel respond better than they had. although some had elone nobly, but the Fund neeried not only the huiT-ired.fi of nunei«. but the nomi.-1, s'^iilmTs and rniee which, if they came in sufficient nn'ober, would, make the If n-t their hanels to the plough the Fund -ould achieve a signal suece-s.
