of a play, "Taffy." belittling and
ridiculing the Welsh race. They
might well have allowed the play to

record Of the Welsh race is suffi-

In proportion TO their numbers
the Welsh have probably produced
more men great in intellect than any

it has confidence in the President,
and not in the War Department.
The President is head Of the army

subordinates, removable at his pleas

pie well know, is President Coolidge's
responsibility, and he will not ask
subordinates to relieve him of it.
THE people will thank Colonel

ever the War Department may say
or do.
His 'lack Of discipline" is no
worse than that of Lord Nelson,
who looked through the spyslass
with his blind eye at the order to
cease fighting and THEN WENT

that incompetence at the top is now
