AND THE TERRITORIALS. THE RESTRSCTSON OF INITIATIVE. T Writing to the "London Evening News" upon Esher's article, Col. West, who is chair- an .of the County Territorial Association, says: county of Denbigh has fro mthe first main- the force almost to its full complement of in a moat satisfactory state of efficiency and dl^ipline. -To keep up the strength of the 4 th R-oyal eLsh Fusiliers we must obtain 250 recruits annum. Whether this can be done is extremely doubfc- u*> unless seme- further inducement is thrown to the men to remain in tlie force. f>he system of restricting the initiative in all Jitters of detail hampers the county associa- °ns, and the officers are given no latitude, but down to be the agents for carrying out cJgs imposed on the associations by the War In future it may become extremely difficult to fv' anyone to assume the command of a Terri- torial reg'lmeat if he is deprived of all initiative meeting special local circumstances and the ^uircmenis of his unit. .unless changes are made in the direction I 2?^ ventured to indicate, I agree with Lord that it will be impossible to continue to to voluntary enlistment.

ARY MEDICAL SOCIETY. The annual meeting of the Society was held at the British Hotel, Bangor, OIl Tuesday, Mr R. S. Rowlands, Abergele, presiding over an atten- dance which included Professor Owen Williams, Liverpool, and the Secretary (Mr L. W. Wynn Lloyd, Carnarvon). A letter was read from, the Liverpool Society asking the Nort'h Wales Society to oo-operate with the Lancashire Veterinary Medical Asso- claticriv and the Liverpool University Veterinary Med:cal Association in inviting tihe National Veterinary Medical Association to the North Wales district next year for their annual oon- ferecioa. Professor Willi ama explaimed; 'that if the in- vitation was accepted the local Society might arrange a garden party and a trip for the members. All they expected from the North Wales Society was to he-come responsible or the local arrangements. It was suggested that) in view of the in vest i- t.ure, Carnarvon would be an ideal venue, and in the course of a discussion the Secretary men- tioned that rooms were already being- booked for tihe Investiture week. It was decided to recom- mend- Carnarvon as the venue and each member of the Society was aiked to subscribe £ 1 Is to- wards the expenses of entertaining the con- ferenca. It was arranged to hold the next- half-yearly meeting at Bangor. Mr Rowlands was re- appointed chairman; Mr Roberts, Pwllheli, vice- chairman, and Mr Wynn. Lloyd was re-elected treasurer and secretary. Some curious provisions appear in the will

A SUCCESSFUL BILLIARD COMPANY. —Messrs E. J. Riley, Ltd., of Acerington, de- clared the usual 10 per cent, di v idend on ordinary shares. A yomng shark, about lit, 41n. long, has been found cut the mouth of the Dee, near Bilbre Is^ajid, by a London visitor. Fresh difficulties are stated to have arisen at Pretoria, which may after all bring about Gen- eral Both'a resigsmticn of the Premiership. Professor F. W.

SKY-LARKING ON SNOWDON DESCENDING THE MOUNTAIN ON A STONE FATAL SEQUEL TO A SUNDAY EXCURSION. Mr Pentir Williams, the Coroner for South Carnarvonahie, held an inquest on Tuesday at the Quarry Hospital, Lianbens, touciuiy the death of a young nua nanred William Morris Griffith, of Gr-cestun, near Carnarvon. As is the custom of Wesli people at this time of the year, the deceased and a numbeT of oom- pan.ons went up Snowdon on Saturday night to see the gun rise on Sunday morning. There were some hundreds from all parts of the district at une summit. Shortly after starting the descant the deceased, against the advice of his friends, put a b.g stone on the centre rack of the moun- tain tram road, and sat on it, an-a. in this way el id down the lino at a great speed, prcbably <'40 miea an hour. After he had gone some 200 yards down the line, the gradient of v&ich was ooe in six, someone belonging to another party of climbera placed a big boulder on the line and pushed' it along. It increased in speed as it wera, along, until ii attaiiied a velocity. of forty or forty-five miles an hour. It caught the do- i, who was still on the track, and struck hiiii n the back with such fores tiiax he turne.d a someatsault. In addktiota to a fractured trngh he sustained serious internal injuries, He was oonveyed. to the Dmorwio Quarry Hospital, where lie died. a few hours later. One of the witnesses, William Owen. Jones, said that lie saw a man. placing a bi&' stone on the brack and pushing it along, but he d.d not know h.m, and would not be able to recogniso him. M A itehisorb the manager of tho Snowdon tramro.ad, said that the crowd that went up the mountain on Saturday night had done enormous damage to the tra/jk. Tiiey had broken fences, pulled up the gradi-ent posus, thrown down tiie wre3, and interfered wrJi the bed of the rail- way. A special train was sent up on Sunday conveying workmen to repair the damage. The same thing took place every year at this time, and he had c\ n soan stones tied by a pi«-c of wire or str.ng u> the rail. The Coroner remarked that sheer wilful damago ocanied to have been oone to the rail- way. Ai>art from the malicious injury to pro- perty tliere was a possibility of a seiious acci- (Lent, vaking place as the rewult of such acts as had Lecn deoanbod. Ma- Aitdhieon If we had not sent out a spe- cial train on Sunday to axamiue the line am accident might have happened. As it happens we always examine the June at this time of the year. I A Juryman thought it was important that the police should try to find out who the man was that put tho boulder on the line and pushed it alone. Superintendent GrifTith If he couid be found it would ba a case of mansfcmg'lr.er against him. Peop:e who were on the mountain and who know who put the bouId«ar cei the line don't oa.re to say who he is. They seera to be sworn to secrecy. Tho inquest was adjour?ied till a week next Friday. The police will in the meantime en- deavour to trace the man who put on the line the boulder which, struck the deccaacd.

THE CHURCH CONGRESS. MEETINGS AT CAMBRIDGE NEXT WEEK. SOME INTERESTING FEATURES. The arrangements for the holding of the Church Congress, at Cambridge, on tOO 26th, 27th, 28th, 29th, and 30th inst., are com- pleted. The opening service of the Congress at Ely Cathedral, when the banners of the series of the previous Congresses will be carried in procession, is likely to be a very impressive The episcopate will be largely represented as besid-es the Archbishop of York and the Bishop of Ely, the Bishops of Bangor, Birmingham, Bristol, Durham, Lichfield, Llandaff, Manchester, Ripon, Ro- chester, Sodor and Man, Truro, Barking, Burnley, CoIchcster, Croydon, Hull, Lewes, Leicester, St. German's, Stepney, Thetford, Oesoiy, and GippsLand, as well as Bishops Tyson, Hodges, Ingham, and Morley are ex- pected to be present. The Bishop of Winchester is unable to come to th-ø Congress this year, and the Bishop of Norwich will be preaclling the ser- mon at the opening service at Cambridge. The social side of the Congress will be particularly attractive. The various halls which will be used in connection with the meetings of the Congress lie so close together that it will be possible to connect them all on the occasion of the rcceptio-n by the Vic0- Cbanoellor and Mayor, and thus to form a magnificent suite of rooms. The Blue Vien- nese Orchestra will play in the Corn Ex- change, and other forms of entertainment will be provided for the guests. The Bishop of Truro will exhibit & selec- tion of his large collection of lantern views of Ely Cathedral, and the Rev. A. J. Foster will give a short lecture on Bunyan'e coun- try, through wh.ich he has kindly promised to conduct a party of visitors on Thursday. In the course of the evening a r-epresentation of the ancient miracle play of Abraham and Iaac will be given by some members of the Cambridge Literary Drama Association. On the Tuesday the Cambridge members of the Church of England Men's Society will give a reception at five o'clock after the Pre- sident's address in Emmanuel College grounds to other members of the society, and on the following day there will be a Masonic gather- ing of unique character under the auspices of the Provincial Grand Lodscc of CambodiB-

A FREE TRADE GUIDE. (By S. SKEUHORN.) Dr. Macnajnara, who is a Mimst-ar of the Grown, has just writteci a book called Tariii Reform and the Workiag Ma-n." It is a bright, breezy book quite freo from venom and abu^e and is well wor-Jh reading beca&a it helps us to uudersfesnd Free Traders ]<J nt of view. But some tilings in the book we can't under- stand. Tlie author, for example, in arguing that Tariff Reform would increase the cost of food quo'-co tite following: —"Making a Christ- mas puddnf in France is not plea- caa* operation that it is in England. Or course not, because tha Frenchman doesn t ea-t Christmas pudding, but how does that prove thai Protection isi a bad thing'? Dr. Macnajnara may be excused for net know- ing that—perhaps he was misinformed by some Radical kaet-blit, it is hard to explain his simplicity in asking the question, "Why do all Tariff Reformers propose to exempt raw mater:al and "Why does not the foreigner pay the piesent tobacco dwty ?" How many more times will Tariff Reformers! have to explain fer the benefit of the Crown Ministers that when an import duty (38 in the case of tobacco) is put on all article which is not produced in this country the home consumer mure pay every penny of the dUty, but when the article is pro- duced here, it is oc-rtain that in moss cases tiie foreigner .would pay tlie whole or part of the duty rather than lose lÙ market? THE LABOUR PARTY A-KD "FREE TRADE." Then this Free Trade aoalogLrt tells us that Tariff Rsform failed a.t the last general election because "The workman knew that their own dbooaa leaders, tho men who had sprung from their own class, 000 men who knew their hopes, their fears, their anxieties, were, to a man, dead against it." It was a strange kind of failure to pefcurn the strc?)go&t single jtarty to the new Parliament, but ap-art from that, what an ab- surd thing- Jo say F-nst of all it isn't true. Masay of the ciearest-headed Socialist leaders such as Roberrt Blatchford, II. M. HyodSman, R. B. Suthers, etc., are '"dead" against Frt-e Trade, and a growing body of Trade Unionists are in faivour of Tariff Reform. Besides, evem if; it were true what does it signify? Most of tho Labonjer Leaders are toc.otelera, but doss DT. Macnamara think tluat all the workers are "dead against" beoer on that account? The real reason why some of theee Labour Leaders pro- fees "Free Trade" is because they depend for their scats on Radical support. Others, as a correspondent m tlie Paess saii: "stick to so- called Free Tradi;" because, under it, the con- dition of our working-classes is so bad, and is beoom ng so much worse, that they hope to get a, social revolution which will result in the State owning all land, industries, railways, etc." This may be good tactics, bu-„ rt is not a strong- argument for "Free Trade" pure and simple.

THE LATE MR TOM ELLIS. MR LLOYD GEORGE UNVEILING MEMORIAL. Mr Lloyd George, the Master of Embank, and Mir J. Herbert Lewis, M.P., attended an im- pressive ceremony outside Bala on f^swaiay, when the Chanceiior of ihe Exchequer unveiled a marble tablet placed in Csfaddwys&rs Chapel to the memory of the iate Mr T.
