A meeting of the Leominster Borough Tri- banal was held on Thursday evening when there were present Ald . H. Gosling ( in the chair ) , Councillor J. Watkins , Mr. T. D. Burl- ton , Ald . Geo .. Page , Mr. George Reynolds , with the Clerk ( Mr. W. T. Sale ) , and the Military Representative ( Commander Winde- bank ) . The Clerk reported the results of various appeals to Hereford Appeal Tribunal , includ- ing John Morris , striker , in the employ of Messrs . Alexander & Duncan , who was granted to July 1st . Mr. Reynolds asked if he was to understand that Mr. Duncan made an application to Here- ford for this man . He understood the last time that Commander Windebank had ar- ranged that if Morris went he would agree to Arrowsmith staying . That was the arrange- ment Commander Windebank informed them of . The Mayor said they put that in their answer to the appeal . Commander Windebank said the firm might have done something apart from Mr. Duncan . He understood that Morris should go . The firm did not go to Hereford , Morris went . Ald . Page said that if an arrangement was to be made there , and then it was altered , he thought Hereford had better deal with the had better deal with the cases . The Mayor read the following letter from Captain W. St. G. Drennan ( Commanding " B " Company , H.V.R. ) : Having regard to the King's great appeal for Volunteers for the defence of the country and also the require- ments of the War Office in matters of drill in order to render the Volunteers of some use in the event of invasion , I shall be glad to know the wishes of the Tribunal in respect of the exempted men sent to drill with this Company . I beg to enclose a copy of the letter that has been sent to each member of the Company . The Mayor said that the old system had been changed , and there were now two classes . Men over military age were asked to join Section A , and if of military age If they were inefficient they Section B. would be required to put in 14 drills per month , and when efficient 10 drills per month . This meant that there was no longer the system of four hours per month . If they sent a man who was exempted for three months he had now got to attend the proper number of drills . It was not playing at soldiers . If a man was under CI he was not eligible to join.was w Mr. Reynolds asked what would happen if a man did not volunteer . There were many men who had a lot of land to cultivate . would they deal with these men ? How The Mayor said that probably in these cases they would not ask them to join . Mr. Reynolds said there were men in the Borough who cultivated a good bit of land for their families and the more that was , pro- duced the better for the public . at was , pro- The Mayor said he thought people should do a little public work . If men did not agree their cases would have to be revised , and then uld be the condition would be made that they must new must join Ald . Page said he should not be surprised to see membership of the Volunteers made compulsory . The record of drills at the Volunteer Train- ing Corps was considered and it was decided to review the case of a tradesman who had failed to attend . The case of Rupert B.

James Ross , of Dalmur , Clyde Bank , was in Leominster on a flying visit to his sister , en route for France , and the Pastor , the Rev. J. C. Elder , availed himself of the opportunity of inviting a brother Scot to take the chair , with excellent results . In the opening part of the meeting , the Rev. James Ross carried the proceedings to the end of the evening . at once to a high level , which was maintained by the Pastor , thanked them for the honour The Chairman replying to a word of welcome paid him . such an excellent missionary meeting he said Expressing his pleasure at seeing such an he believed in Jesus Christ they be- lieved in foreign missions , In leaving his people he told them there were two things which a person having accepted membership as not open to question - the gospel and its extension at home and abroad . the Rev. Stanley Pearce , the Chairman said Alluding to he worked at Matale , in Ceylon , alongside one of his former members in Rochdale . Speaking of his experiences in Free Church Council work in Rochdale , he said he was one of those who saw in those things the who did not see why there should be a divid- coming of one great church and he was one ing line between the Presbyterian and Baptist Passed in Class A.Churches on the subject of infant baptism and adult baptism .

In the case of Arthur Page Handley , Superintendent in the employ of the Pruden- tial Assurance Co. , a legal point arose . Mr. H. Easton appearing for the applicant , contended that , the Tribunal had no jurisdic tion in the case . There were two classes of men under the Military Service Act , those who were attested and those who were un- attested . In the case of an unattested man who had been rejected and had not received a pink form by September 1st he could not be dealt with .
