a big meeting here yesterday, over
which the Earl Of Plymouth presided.
David Lloyd George. the chancellor of

ments decision to raise a Welsh army
of $4,000 men.
Mr.. Lloyd George, who delivered a
rousing speech. said Glamorganshire al

mouthshire $4,000 men. He frankly told
his hearers that the recruits were not

a vast majority would return and would
have glorious memories to the end of
their lives-memories they would not

The chancellor of the exchequer
pointed out that under conscriptions
Wales would be compelled to contribute
a quarter Of a million men, but that a
voluntary army of $4,000 men would be
just as good as forced army five times

WAR COURSE
JUSTIFIED BY CHURCH
Leaders Issue Reply to German
Theologians' Appeal to Evan
gelical Christians Abroad"

LONDON. September 3o.-In reply to
the appeal addressed by German
theologians to Evangelical Christians
abroad" manifesto was issued here
yesterday. signed by the heads of the
established Church of England and by
non-conformist leaders. justifying Eng
lands action in connection with the
European war.
The manifesto refers to the authors
of the German document as men of
whose honesty, capacity and good
faith there can be no question" but
expresses amazement that such men
should commit themselves to a state
ment concerning the political causes of
the war which depart so strangely
from what seems to us to be plain
facts in this grave hour of European
history. 1t is upon these facts
we rest our assured convictions that
for men who desire to maintain the
paramount obligation Of fidelity to
defending weaker nations against
violence and wrong, no possible course
was open but that which our country
has taken"
After reviewing the negotiations that
preceded the war the manifesto con-
tinues:
I'VE can only suppose, incredible as
1t seems, that those honorable and
gifted men who signed the German ap-
peal were unaware of the obligations
by which we were bound, and also of
the story of the negotiations"
Eagerly DESTROYS of Peace.
After expressing the hope that the
time will come when it again will be
their privilege to work with the Ger
man theologians in behalf of Chris
tianity, the signers of the manifesto
add:
There must be no mistake about our
position. Eagerly desirous of peace,
foremost to the best of our ability in
furthering it, keen especially to pro-
mote a close fellowship between Eng
land and Germany. we nevertheless
have been driven to declare that dear
to US as peace Is. the principles Of
truth and honor are yet more dear.
+. We have taken our stand for
international good faith. for the safe
guarding of smaller nationalities, for
the unfolding of the essential condi-
tions of brotherhood among the ma
tions of the world"
Among the signers of the manifesto
are the Archbishops Of Canterbury,
York and Armagh, the Bishop Of Lon
don, the Rev. r. ]. Campbell. DR.. John

The growing resemblance Of this

by many to have been due to excep-

our airmen a chance Of which they took
full advantage by gathering much In

falling mostly near Pargnan (twelve

Both Wednesday and Thursday the
