Lord Kitcheners' Army.—Appeals for a new army of 100,000 men to be trained as a regular army for general service at home and abroad, and, when trained to a proper standard of efficiency to be employed wherever their services may be required. Any men enlisting will be discharged with all possible speed the minute the war is over whether this lasts three weeks or three years. Should the war last over three years their continuance of service will be optional. No men will be refused who are pbysi- cally fit for actual service and between the ages of 19 and 30; old soldiers up to 42. Lord Kitchener's appeal provides a fine opportunity for young men to serve their county, and we in this district must see to it that we are not behind other places in responding to the country's call. Full informatiob as to recruiting can be obtained at the Masonic Hall.

The War.—The wave of war enthusi- asm that as spread over the country,and indeed over all the world, is felt in our quiet little town of Barmouth. A good portion of our young men are serving their King and country in some of the Royal Forces on land and sea. Antici- p'ating the terrible hardships that the futuie may have in store for our gallant defenders, the town's people are uniting together in various ways to collect funds which will be forwarded to some of the organizations which are formed by humane and philanthropic men and women to cheer and encourage those who are willing to lay down their lives, for our very existence as a free nation. TheMaleVoieeChoir,more than one mem- ber of whom have been called to do duty for their country, have thoughtfully and patriotically decided to' hold a sacred concert next Sunday night at the Assembly Rooms, which is generously given free of charge for the purpose by the Corsygedol Company, all the pro- ceeds of which will be handed over to the War Fund. A Committee consisting of Mr D. Roberts, N.P. Bank Mr George Evans, Dr. J. R. Heath, Mr D. E. Davies, and Mr Kay met at the Bar- mouth Library, on Monday last to draw out a programme and make the neces- sary arrangements. A number of pro- fessional and amateur artistes have generously offered their service, and a sacred concert of an elevating character is anticipated. The cause is truly de- serving and we hope that both visitors and inhabitants will rally round the promoters and help to make the concert a great suceess so that a substantial sum may be realized. Every sixpence will help, and every one who will attend will feei that he or she has taken some practical part in this—the greatest task that Britain ever had to face. The chair will be taken at 8.30 prompt. There are a few reserved seats at 2s., other tickets of admission will be Is. and Gd. Tickets may be had from any member of the Committee, or at the Barmontb Library, u God Save the King." 1

The Rate Collector reported that since the Finance Committee held last Friday he bad collected the sum of £223, bringing the total collection to date this year to £ 987 14s. 6d., being an increase on last year by X102 4s. 8d. He may state that he did not find this j year, so far, any material difficulty in I collecting the rates. With very few exceptions, the same ones that bad not paid last year this date, were the ones that bad not paid this year. Some people however seemed to be under the I impression that they could be exempted I this year owing to the war, but it did not take long to convince them that that was not so, and that the only pro- cedure now, as before, wbeni the rates were not paid was the issuing of sum- monses and to get orders made before the Magistrates for warrants of distress. Possibly the warrants could, by consent of the Council, be withheld for some time without being forced to sell, but this procedure would have already cost the non-payers the sum of 10/6 each in addition to the rates owing. Mr William Owen said be was very glad to hear such a favourable report from the Rate Collector, and the Council ought to give faita every sapporfe. > Mr D, O. Hughes endorsed what Mr Owen had said, and added that they were very pleased to see the ratepayers helping the Council in this respect. The Rate Collector was doing his best, and he had no doubt that the ratepayers would also do their best to pay the rates Dr. J. Pugh Jones thought that the Council should economise and in doing so they would be helping the rate- payers. SUNDAY OBSERVANCE. I The Deputy Clerk read a letter from the Secretaries of the Free Church Council thanking the Council for in- viting representatives to meet the Coun- cil with reference to Sunday Observance at Barmouth and that representatives would attend the Council that day. NEW COUNCIL OFFICES, I A letter was read from the Solicitors interested in the Bank Buildings stating they would leave the option of taking over the Bank Buildings until Xmas. On the proposition of Mr J. Pryce Jones, seconded by Mr Henry Freeman, it was decided to ask them to extend the time until April 1st. An amendment, jproposed by Mr Edward Williams, and seconded by Mr William Owen, to defer the matter, was lost. THANKS. I .On the proposition of Mr William Owen, seconded by Mr R. G. Moore, a vote of thanks was accorded to Alder- man Martin Williams, J.P., for arrang- ing the Cellfechan enquiry to be held at the Police Station. WORK FOR THE UNEMPLOYED. I Mr Edward Williams drew attention to the necessity for the Council to make an application to the Development Commissioners for a grant towards carrying out some improvements during the coming winter so as to give work to the unemployed. Mr William Owen seconded, which was carried unanimously. AN APPEAL. I Mr Rbys Jon the Chairman), who I I "1 bad attended an important meeting at Dolgelley with regard to the N ati mal Relief Fund, and :was therefore unable to be present at the early part of the Council meeting, suggested that an ap- peal should ba made through the press for public support towards having an Ambulance equipment for the Fire Brigade.
