r 'Y'h   I ;The i?ay s ?os?jp. 1 1 e ay s  CIa I Leader Office, Saturday. I I was among the sixty privileged to I hear the Prince's speech at the Guild- hall yesterday. I think Darid was glad to get it over. During the last courses of the luncheon he forked oil,, from his | pocket a bundle of cotes and ?i between ¡ the dishes looked them up, adding frcM.b I' notes and striking out others. Agffin and again he returned to the task. It used to be the practice of Royalty to speak from manuscript, and usually the Pressmen cou)d secure copies of the speech after delivery. Inquiry before- hand yesterday elicited tile information that the Prince was going to spotfk with- out such preparation. He did really well. He has a light tenor voice with a pleasant ring in it and a good many shades of expression. Most of his sen- tences were quite oar cut; one or two he re-formed after the first few words. Only excessive zeal for Royalty would dub him an orator. With strict truth- fulness I can say that he is an emphatic speaker, with the gift of knowing what he wants to say, and of saying it In I plain unequivocal language. Had the speech been prepared" in the old- 1 fashioned way it might have been more i ornate and rounded. But the Prince spoke naturally, and there was one soj- dier touch, the reference to the Sixth Welsh going to France early Qn," in October, 1914. Now that would hav; been converted to goodness only know what, had the usual proc8sses been fol- lowed instead, we had the th<;u?hts of a charming young man expressed with naturalness and quite revolutionary' clearness. The Autographs. I 1 Half-a-dozen requests had reached me I from juniors of my acquaintance that I I might secure for them Prince David's autograph. But at the teat I found I lacked the confidence of such as Ald. Powlesland, who marched up to the cross-table and without a tremoujr "re- quested the favour." Three otters- Mr. E J. Davies, of the Comrades; iXf r. P. W. Phillips, of the Harbour Trust, and Mr Stephens, of the Soldiers' Federa- tion-plucked up courage after this example and are now happy possessors of R.R.H.'s autograph on their menu cards. I hope that iu some way cr other the young gantleman in the Cor- Soration offices who has made a jife i hobby of capturing the autographs of the famous secured his heart's desire-, but, as I have said, the assurance that re the possession of some is not, unhap- pily. mine, and my young friends will henceforth look me askance as one with- out the nerve to tackle the least forbid- ding of Princes. A "Leader" for H.R.H. One of our staff, believing that the Prince--or let me say some oi his suite— might have a casual interest hi t-iic "iate&t" at Newcastle, took a "Loader" containing ) he information to the station just in time to catch the Prince's train. Already, in that early edition, the paper had fully covered aU the events of tile day up to the speeches at the luncheon, so, if the Prince were so inclined, upon the journey to town he could see a record of his Swansea pro- gress. The staff of the Leader" are justifiably proud of yesterday's produc- tion; and it is due to them that I should say that their work at the different points of interest was covered without a hitch. The luncheon concluded just before half- past tbree; in a remarkably short time after, the paper was selling in the streets with a complete account of the day's events, including a two-column report of the proceedings at the Luncheon. Every man jack In the staff was as proud as Punch when the great printing machine began to hum and to start its task of throwing off its many thousands of the last edition of the day. The Teetotallers. I Going back to the luncheon, one of the features was the surprising number of teetotallers at the tables. For those who were so inclined there were other kinds of refreshments, but at my table the majority preferred ginger ale-whereas there was great rejoicing among the few N-,rho believe -:n a little for the fr'.oinaeh's sake.. It's an ill habit that blows nobody good. iIn the Somme Days. The Rev. H. C. Mander. who was at i the luncheon in his chaplain uniform, • remembers the Prince on the Somme in I the terrible 1916 days, when the Guards I came up for the Cruillomont business. j He was stationed at Mcaulte — Mr. | Mander was chaplain then at the C.C.S., a kilo or two away at Dcrn?Bcourt—a j livcly enough 6pot. M I can vouch after I sweating out one or two strafes that came the way of this unlovely Picardy village An.) one who things that thu Prince wa., carefully nursed out of danger should have known what Moaulte and Booorde! were like in the first .months of the I Somme battle! I. The Prince's Room. r Hall-keeper Hollo way, with pardon:1 bl.> I pride, invited me to s-oo the arrangement of the Prince's retiring room at tlio Guild- hall. It was tastefully defoliated with z; few bowls of wonderful flowers, anions them eozip, glorious carnations sent bv Col. Y/right; upou the walls were the Swansea Lighthouse painting that is b the Welsh Colleejtiop at the Library; un oil painting of Old Swansea loaned by Mr. Leeder, and some water-oolours of the Castle and other parts of the ancient town. A box of cigars and another o. cigarettes stood opened on he table, but I was told that the Prince not a cign man, and at the luncheon 1c lit im "a cigarette the moment after t e toast of The King had been given. ;.v the way 'I I hear that when H.R.H. divid into the cigarette box in his room, he was agree- ably surprised to find that till; fags were I his favourite brand. 1 i

AT ST. PAUL'S. I The Rev. W. Pedr Williams, of St. Paul's Church, will on Sunday evening deal wich Topics of the Moment." At this period of the country s history there are many things that require fearless speaking, and those who have previously heard the popular minister of this church know how straight he deals with questions of great national importance.

ABERAVON REMAND. I At Aberavon on Friday, Wm, Edmund Harris (21), alias W, James and E.
