COMPULSORY MILITARY TRAINING. THE PROPOSALS OF THE, NATIONAL, SERVICE LEAGUE. A FABLE. 2Esop tells a fable about a boar, who was sharpening his tusks against the trunk of a tree. A, fox seeing this, asked the boar why he did so at a time when there were no hunters about. "That's quite true," said the boar, "but when there are hunters about I shall not have time to sharpen my tusks." THE MORAL. The old fable of Æsop is applicable to modern England. The tusks of Great Britain are certainly not sharpened; in fact, they are not even strong and full grown. Where is the army for home de- fence? The Regular Army is not a force to be tied to apron strings at, home. It has its work to do outside England. The real army for home, defence is the Territorial one—under-manned, starved, partially trained, but composed of the few patriotic men, who are ready to work while the others shirk. But the Territorials tusks are only to be sharpened after the com- mencement of war. Mr Haldane pro- poses a six months' training not, before, but after the hunters are about. Mr Haldane and the public might take a, straight tip from the wise old Greek, zEsop. The tip is, "See to your army be- fore the enemy appears." THE; REMEDY. A conviction is now growing among thinking men, irrespective of creed aad party, that the voluntary system alone j cannot, and ought not, to be depended upon to proviciel for the defence of this country, that "nation in arms" which Mr Haldane has rightly selt before him as his ideal. The Norfolk Commission recom- mend that the army for home defence hould be "raised or maintained on the principle tha: it is the duty of every citizen of military age and sound physique to be trained for national defence." But the Government, the Press, the people took no notice. Mr Haldane dared once to- ask for 900,000 men. Then he moderated his demands and asked for 300.,00.0.. By dint of personal speeches, whittling away of rules of discipline. baits of Z3 prizes, pretty uniforms, and all the other attractions, the cost of which comes largely upon the Territorial offi- cers, over 200,000 men have at last been persuaded to come forward and do their duty—a duty which should be shared by all who are fit for it. Upon the T'erritorials in case of emergency will fall a heavy burden. "Mobilize" will flash over the wires. Next morning, Sergt. Jones will be on the way to Aldershot, and Jones' employer will be tearing his hair at the unexpected loss of a good foreman. There will be terrible dislocation of business when the six months' training does begin. Under compulory military training, the burden would not, fall on a few, but on all, capitalist and foreman alike. Equal burdens break no backs. Accordingly, the National Service League, the only organisation of the kind in I Great, Britain, is advocating universal service, so that we may have a real "nation in arms," so that, our homes may be secure, so, that. we may not temptl other nations to walk in and fill their pockets. But what, roughly, does the League pro- pose? How would its proposals affect, for example, Tom Brown, aged 17, clerk in a wood-yard, now liv'mg at 24, Paradisest,reet THE PROPOSALS. 1.—Sound physical development, for every British boyn every British school. 2.—The inculcation of lessons of patriotism and devotion to the country as part of the education of every British boy and girl. 3.-The encouragement of rifle shooting for all hoysand youths up to the age of 18. 4.— A preliminary training of four months at the age, of 18, followed by short annual camp trainings for the next four years. It is not, intended, however, that any liability as to training or service shall be enforced on ayone above the age of 18 at the time of the passing of the Act for compulsory training. Such liability would only come into force after the Act is passed. AN EXAMPLE, Now suppose an Act had passed through Parliament tot;he .effect that every British, boy must, be drilled at school, and every lad, if physically fit, at 18 go into camp for four months. What about Tom Brown? Next, May, Tom will be 18 years old, and supposing the Act is in force he will go 'before a doctor, who will thump his chest and make sure that he is a strong lad. Then Tom will go into; camp-—possibly somewhere on the sea, coast of Lancashire, or North Wales, not too far from home. He will get his uniform free; board and lodging free; and pocket-money into the bargain. He will have to work hard at, his training, of course, but hei will be out of doors in the fresh air, stocked wifch good food, untroubled by responsi- bilitiesz surrounded by comrades of his own age, with sixpence a day in his pocket. Discipline and order will mould his character for just as his slouching pigeon-chested .body will be moulded into that of a, well-set up muscular man. In the middle of September, he will re- turn home. His employer will be com- pelled Iby law to take him back at the woodyard. After this free holiday, he will be more fit a-ndr capable to do his work both as a citizen and as a father. These proposals, if adopted, will ensure the presence in the country at all times of at least, a citizen militia" men trained, ready, efficient. So both the Tom Browns and the country will benefit. IS THIS, NONSEiNSE? Some readers may accuse all the above as being the product of mere imagination. It is not. It is a prophecy of the future founded on the past experience of other nations. Tom Brown's real name is Adolph Simon. He is a, Swiss, and all the Swiss are trained as citizen soldiers. The above description is that of Adolph's live in camp. He declares it was one of the j oiliest time in bis life. I cannot understand why the Einglish boy should not, enjoy military training just, as much and derive just as much physical and moral good from the drill and discipline. Statesmen like Lord Curzon and Lord Milner, Socialists like Mr Harry Quech and Mr H. G. Wells, our leading army and naval men, students of social welfare like the Rev. R. J. Campbell and Mr T'. C. Horsfall, believe; that compulsory miLi- tary training will do1 much for national security and national well-being. THE! HEADERS PART1. Now the readers know exactly what the National Service League proposes, viz. I, military drill in all schools; II, four months' training at the age of 18 in camp; III, four years attached to the Terri- torials, i.e., a fortnight in camp at 19, 20, 21, 22. I hope those who disagree will write to the Editor. We welcome adverse critiicism, and then possibly the Editor will allow me space later to answer the objections of any- one who wishes to study more deeply the most vital questions at present before the Briltish race, in so far as it affects closely every man's home and family and country.

On Wednesday evening, in the Liberal Club Rooms, a most enjoyable evening was held, under the conductorship of Mr Vaughan Humphreys, there bering an ex- I tremely large attendance. A capital programme had been arranged, to which Mr Oh as. Hughes, Mr J. Robert,9 (junr.), Miss A. ML Roberts, Mr Llewelyn Jones (Cblwyn Bay), and Mr Williams (County School) contributed. So much appreciation of the items was expressed thaij encores were the rule rather than the exception. A number of competitons had also been arranged which were entered int,o with. great spirit and added to the general success. Mrs Marks introduced a novelty, i.e., a musical love story, in which a prize was given to a lady and gentleman. The successful lady competilior was Miss Esther Edwards (Pennant House), and the gentleman Mr John Roberts. Muss Jones, teacher of cooking at the County School, gained the award for a stump speech, the subject being "Whist Drives." In a smelling competition, Mr Charles Hughes proved to have the moist sensitive nostrils, while Mr J. J. Marks gained first place in the whistling competition with a rendering of "Llwyn 0!nn" (with variations'). Other awards were, including; that for the best rendering of an un- punctuated paragraph gained by Mr Wil- liams, County School, and for an adver- tisement competition won by Mr J. Griffith, St. George's Crescent. The were provided by the lady members, -and were of a, first-class character. For Chronic Chest Complaints, Woods' Great Peppermint Cure. 1/1, 2/9

THE LATE MR. HOWARD TAYLOR RATCLIFF. A BRIEF SKETCH OF HIS CAREER. We cull tihe following brief sketch of the career of the late Mr Howard Rat- cliff, who had a residence at Carmen Sylva Road, Craigvdon, for many years, from tlhe Church Times" —■ The death on the 16th inst., at the age of 73, through a street accident at Llan- dudno, of Mir Howard Taylor Ratcliff, of Fair View Hall, Edgbaston, removes a Churchman whose connexion with the Catholic movement has been that of life- long constancy, devotion and generosity. The eldest son of Joseph Ratcliff, and nephew of Sir John Ratcliff, at one time Mayor of Birmingham, Mr Ratcliff was a contemporary at King Edward's High School of Archbishop Benson, between whose family and lVs own the closest friendship subsisted. He was apprenticed to his father and uncle, brassfounders, and it was characteristic of the generous and self-reliant nature of the man that, when at the age of twenty-one he pro- posed going into business for himself, he chose to depend upon hiBI own small sav- ings, and .-refused his father's offer of assistance, on the plea that the latter had the way in life to make for his six younger brothers. Mr Riatcliff was a, man of un- daunted purpose, remarkable energy, keen business ability, yet possesing great kind- ness of heart. Brought up in the narrowest, Evangelical school, perhaps the influence of young Benson and his family led him to the con- clusion he arrived at, that his early re- ligious training was, inadequate for his needs. And on leaving home he abandon- ed the church he had attended all his childhood, and became attached in its early days to; St. Michael's, Handsworth, where, under the Rev. N. T. Garry, Traoiarian teaching was influencing many. But changes of incumbents, and quent declension in the teaching, caused, Mr Riatcliff to remove to St. Paul's, Bir- mingham^ where Mr Latimer was provid- ing services and teaching in advance of what was io be found elsewhere. Here he presented a very large brass altar cross, in keeping with the bold architec- ture of the east-end of the church. On the death of Mr Latimer the benefice pasised into the hands of Low Church trustees, and the alitar cross wasi returned by the new incumbent, with an intimation that he did not consider its use consistent wiith the principles of the Reformation. The Rev. James Pollock had been curate to Mr Latimer, and the little mis- sion Church of St. Alban was opened but a few months, when finding the services and teaching of the Brothers Pollock all that he had longed and prayed for, Mr Ratcliff became a constant worshipper, and ultimately one of the chief stays of the church and supporters of its devoted clergy. Mr Ratcliff proposed, and at that time, it, required courage and real de- votion of no ordinary kind for a man pro- minEmt in business curcles to identity him- self with a cause everywhere, spoken of with obloquy and derision. But through all the eary days of obloquy, strife, and troubles of many kinds, Howard Ratcliff was one of a small band of solid business men who stood shoulder to shoulder with the clergy, and ungrudgingly devoted their influence and abilities to the per- manent establishment of St, Alban's Church. Notwithstanding the claims of a large young family, he was a generous benefactor from the first, and during the twenty-five years he filled the office of vicar's warden, gave lavishly, and to an extent little dreamed of except by the very few. Alll through his life Mr Ratcliff acted on the principle of not, letting h:s left hand know what his right hand was giving. Later in the history of St. Alban's, when an overwhelming debt of £ 13,000 hung like a millstone about the necks of the clergy and congregation, and paralysed the work of the parish, he was one of four men who took the debit, upon their own shoulders and he then made over to the bank, by way of security, everything that he possessed. Indeed, it was a saying in the family that the chairs they sat upon were not their own. As might be expected, a man of IS'Û' great faith prospered. Every business matter he undertook succeeded. Outside his commercial undertakings Mr had no ambition. He was humble, quiet, and ret'irting, but when the Church needed h;'¡s influence and service and money, at once he camei to the front. It is strange, that, after recovering about a year ago from an ili nesrs in which his life was despaired of, he should be run down by a breiwer's lorry, the only &4 vehicle in the long, street of a seaside town in the quiet winter season. Mr Rateiff married Charlotte Elizabeth Salt, daughter of Thomas Glutton Salt, by whom he had nine children. He leaves a widow and five sons and three daughters. From the Cottage Hospital at LJan- dudno the Iboldy was removed direct toi St. Alban's Church. Solemn Requiem was sung on Saturday last at 8-30 p.m., and after the first part of ,tihe Burial Service and the Absolutions had been sung at 2-30 in the presence of a congregation which quite filled the churchy the coffin was conveyed for burial to MoseLey Parish Church, Oanon iSteott, vicar of St. Alban's, officiated throughout, and wais assisted by the Rev. O. E. Burd, vicar of Shirley. Of Howard Taylor Riatcliff it may be said truly, if of any man: "Well done, thou good and faithful servant!"—R.I.P.

TARIFF1 REFORM. To the Editor It is evidently dangerous to indulge in jokes when "Tariff Reformers" are about. .Mr Lloyd-George found this out a few weeks ago, when in a reference to his coming budgeiti he jocularly invited his audience to inform him as to any "hen roosts" they might know of. That innocent (little joke has been the theme of Tariff Reform Orators ever since. In my last letter I quoted "A Student's" statement that Tariff Reform would lessen unemployment. After remarking that such a statement made without evidence to sup- port it wa,SI scarcely worth notice, I ven- tured upon a little bit of mild sarcasm, that upon reconsideration, I felt inclined to endorse his statement, it having been proved, in our own and other countries' experience that a protective tariff does lessen unemployment; adding that the Britsh workmen under Tariff Reform would certainly have to work much longer hours for the same or less wages, besides having to pay more for everything he had to buy. "A Student" this week claims this as an admission on my part that "Tariff reform lessen unemploy- ment" Perhaps) I ought to have added a note as "Artemus Ward" used to do —■ "[N.B .This is a goak"!] The same genial humorist when in this country was greatly amused when people did not see his "goaks," and he would solemnly offer to call at their houses next day to "ex- plain" the jokes. May be I ought to have done thaft too.Yours, etc., ARDI.

ClOLWIYN BAY WATER SUPPLY. NEW MAIN COMPLETED. ■ The enterprise of laying a pair of steel water-pipes under the bed of the river Conway in the parish of Dolgarrog, which has been found so difficult by the con- tractors, Messrs Underwood and Brother, of Dukinfield, was completed on Thursday, morning, when the contractors despatched a telegram to the chairman of the C'owlyd Water Board, Mr J. Dicken, announcing ( the news. The filling of the 12in. pipe j line, which now extends from the intake chamber at the top of the Dolgarrog Woods to Sam Mynach, between LI an- ) dudno Junction and Colwyn Bay, was < proceeded with, and will be tested as soon as possible, when the new main will be brought, into use. There will therefore be an ample supply of water at high pressure for the whole district, and this is of especial importance to Gol- wyn Bay, which had suffered in the sea- son from the lack of sufficient pressure in the mains to raise the water to the higher levels. The pipes across the river are laid upon a bed of concrete, into which they are tied down by special clamps, and they are also protected at the joints by special clips invented by Mr 0. F. F'ar- rington, the assistant, engineer to the Water Board It is therefore hoped, that even if the concrete should sag to some extent will not start the pipe joints.

BANGOR BANKRUPTCY COURT. A LLANDUDNO GROCER'S AFFAIRS. At the Bangor Bankruptcy Court on, Thursday, before Mr Registrar Glynne Jones, Mr Tobias, Assistant, Official Re- ceiver, publicly examined Albert, Edward:1 Tetiley, of Brookside, P em 11 aenm awr, touching hiis failure. His gross liabili- ties were set down at £ 205 and his scheduled assets at £ 1,107. The debtor attributed his failure to inability to realise his resources. Replying to Mr Tobias, the debtor saici that since his return to England from South Africa, in 1905, he had followed no occupation. He was entitled to a one- fourteenth share in real property and in- vestments settled by the will of the late Mr Joseph Pitman, expectant upon the death of the life tenant, now aged 75. This interest tlhe debtor scheduled at £ 800. He admitted that, he had not been looking after his own affairs of late as an explanation of the fact that he had taken no steps to raise money on his expecta- tions and wipe off his liabilities, which could easily have been done. The Registrar Why not do' that now? Mr Tobias explained that the proceed- ings had gone so far that it was doubtful if that course could now be taken. The Debtor said he was as a matter of fact quite solvent now. He had no other means now except, his own ability to work. The Registrar observed thab it was a pity the debtor had not, engaged a solicitor at the outset, when his difficulties might have been solved. The examination was closed. LLANDUDNO GROCER'S AFFAIRS. With liabilities amounting tiu 270,3, and a deficiency of £643" Albert George Bacon, grocer, Chapel Street, Llandudno, came up for examination. He attributed his failure to pressure by creditors and bad trade. He said that he started busi- ness in November, 1906, with a capital of £ 25. He bought, a grocer's business for JB205 and paid £,15 deposit. A month later he was pressed for the balance, and borrowed £:150 to pay it, off. A year ago he borrowed another sum of £ 200 from the same gentleman. In October he made a deed of assignment to Mr A. J. Old- man, Llandudno. His wife was jointly liable with hlim to the creditor named who holds a policy of L500 on his life as secur- ity. He, admitted that he was insolvent from the commencement, and his business was only kept going by means of bor- rowed money. He had lost £ 800 in two years' trading. The examination was closed!. AN ANGLESEY FARMER. The affairs of W. Thomas, farmer, of Nant Newydd Farm, Lianeugrudd, Anglesey, showed gross liabilities amount- ing to P,1,300, of which £ 1,144 was ex- pected to rank, the deficiency bering set down at £ 1,003. The debtor, who, is 47 years of age, attributed his failure to loss of animals, illness in family, cost of improving farm, iand money spent on artificial manure. Before farmling at, Nant Newydd the deb- tor had farmed Tai-isa-Waenfawr for five years, commencing there in 1882 with a capital of £ 800. When he went to Nantr- uchaf, a part of Nant Newydd, in 1887,. his capital had dwindled to Z15,0. The. bankrupt is insured for 2,100, on which he has borrowed £ 70 from the office. He assigned the policy, subject to that lia- bility, to a creditor for £ 400!, and gave a, bill of sale to the creditor refewred to for 2,400. He admitted that he had been insolvent for 10 or 12 years. The examination was closed, the Re- gistrar remarking that it was unfortunate thait, the debtor had not filed long ago. LECTURE!
