GENERAL CABLES
PRINCESS ELIZABETH HONOURED LONDON, Aug 6. Robed in green,, Princess Elizabeth to-day was admitted to the company of blue, green and white robed Welsh bards in an ancient ceremony in a mountain glade in Glamorganshire. The bards gathered within a ring of stones, the Druids and wood musicians wearing blue, poets white and honorary bards’ green. For 40 minutes the bards carried out their ritual, including the Arch Druid’s call: “Truth against the world. Is it peace?” with the response from the bards and the thousands outside the circle, “Peace.” The Princess was permitted to enter the circle at the end of the ritual. No world of English was spoken throughout except when the Arch Druid, hearing the mightly shout, “Peace” commented in an aside: “The yought to hear that in Paris”.
