ADVENT OF SUMMER TIME. 1 With tho minimum of inconvenience or trouble the new summer time came mto vogue in Bangor. The town clock, the Cathedral clock, and aiso that at St. James' Church wore altered on Sat- urday night, but the officials at the Post Oflice and tho Railway Station delayed tho operation until the time appointed by U»o Government, 2 a.m. on Sunday morning. This hour was selected to avoid confusion on the railways, there being very few trains which gtart. on their journeys between 2 and 3 a.m. on Sunday mornings. The only grumbling has emanated from farm- ers, who urge that the hay should not be cut until the dow has dried, and that the dew wiii pee fall an hour e.triior or the cows give milk an Lour in advance bccause of the alteration of the clooks. Several farmers are said to bJ ignoring li.e new Act. Th"e are no penui provieions in the Act, but if these "passive resisters" desire to catch trains, their attitude will have its draw- backs. A teacher of one of the upper classes in an ele- jrentary tchooi inquired on Monday how many pf tlr: pupils went to bod without a light on the rev-iotis night, and with one exception the pupils answered in ,he affirmati-e. The Ileadniastor of another school tiaa fcund a markwi improve- rient in tho punctuality of the children since Voiiday. OBITUARY. I Tho interment took place on Wednesday week, at Glanadda Cemetery, of Mrs M. W illiams, widow of Mr W. Williams, who icont the Kyffin Arms, Iligh-street, a houso which waG many years ago pulled down to maito room for other business premises. Mr3 Williams, who was 85 years of age. died in Ashbourne-terraoe. Higher Brough- ton, Manchester, and the body was brought to Bangor for interment. The Rev. J. C. Morrice, vicar, officiated. The chief mourners wero Messrs J. Williams, Birmingham, and James Kenrv W'illiams, Southport (sons); Miss Alioe Williams, Manchester (daughter); Mrs W oolle}-, Manchester (daughter); Mrs Williams, 34, Orme- road (daughter); Mr John Williams, Inspector of Postmen ?soa in l?w), with a number of other re- lati ves. Tho ? funeral of Mr J. B. Harris, formerly post- JT 311ter of Bangor, whose death was reported in o i last, issue, took place last Friday at Norwood Eemeterv, London. Among the wreaths was one Irom tiio postmaster and srtaff of the Bangor office. PUTTY SESSIONS. -1 I Tho weeklv sessions were ncjci on luesaay, uciore I lir W. Pti.he (Chairman), ltev. W. Morgan (St. Ann's), Messrs R. J. Williams, and J. Evan Roberts. A Krcncli lady, now staying in Bangor, was charged with entering a prohibited area without permission. The defendant. who was accompanied hy her husband, a French soldier, who has been fighting in Verdun, ■tated that t>!ie camrnit ted tho offence in ignorance. Superintendent Grlflith said it was dearly so. and ht; did not press for a penalty. The defendant's husband was granted a > short holiday, and he wrote to his wife,-who lived ^i Margate, to joiu him. lIt Hangor. In another lettet-lie told her to obtain permission to enter Bangor, but she did not receive that letter before leaving, for Bangor. The husband was returning to the trout at ttim end of the week and the wife in- tended going back to Margate. The Magistrates' Clerk {Mr Niticeiit) remarked that though the defend- ant was an alien she was a friendly alien.-The Chair- man suid the police were quite justified in bringing the ease forward, but under the circumstances it would be dismissed. Richard Thomas, carter, Glanrafon, claimed 23s from David Thomas, Wacn Wen, for wrongfully quitting his service. Tho plaintiff stated that the defendant, who was employed by him as a carter, left w.Viout notice. Believing that he would come back plaintiff kept the horse and cart in the stable, for some time. The de- fendaat contended that he did givo notice. There was no contract as to the hours lie should work, nnlv that he should convey a certain number of loads per day from the railway station to the gas works. lie would have left the plaintiff's employ sooner but for a request of the manager of the gas works that ho should remain so that all the coal could be conveyed to the gas works.—The defendant was fined 10s and costs.

The Clerk read letters he had received from the Clerk to the Bangor and Gwyrfai Tribunals, who had been invited to support a resolution to approach the military authorities in the matter of medical examinations of men who are locally considered unfit for any kind of military work. The Clerk to the Bangor Tribunal promised to lay the matter before his Tribunal, and the Gwyrfai Tribunal had resolved to support the resolution sent them. Replies are awaited from other Tribunals in the matter. SHOOTING COMPETITION. I An interesting contest took place last Saturday, at. tho local rifle range. Six members of the St. Ann's l'latoon of the V.T.C. sent a irienilly challenge to a corresponding number of the Betnescta Platoon. The day was line with a light breeze. Several members of the V.T.C. were present to witness the competition. The result was a draw. The order of bring and individual scores were as toilosys St. Ann's. Bethesda. Pte. I>. 1).

Having seen in a report, in your piper, of which I am a regular reader, the reasons some of the con- 1 soientiaus objectors have the aiudacifcy to give at the Tribunals, I cannot help but feet ashamed that such people call themselves Britons. I am not a bloodthirsty man myself, but aifter seeing the ruin and desolation caused through the war, it makes me imagine what these same men would have done had Englan,d been invaded like France oi- Belgium. Would tihey have stood by and watched their rhomes wrecked without offering any rmstencv? Aro their wives and families nothing to them that they make no effort to pro- tect them, or is it that tihey aro afraid and wish to hide their cowardioe under the protection of the Bible ?-y()U. etc..

IEMPIRE DAY CELEBRATIONSI…
I EMPIRE DAY CELEBRATIONS I AT BANGOR. I CHURCII PARADE. I In celebration of Empire Day an imposing church parade was heid at Baagor on Sunday. The weather was fine, and large crowds assembled in High-street and Deinioi-road to witness the procession. It was headed by the band of the Clio" Training Ship, followed by the "Clio" boys; a contingent of the Royal Army Medical Corps from the Military Hos- pital; the University College Officers' Training Corps, in charge of Lieut. Archer; the Bangor Company of the Carnarvonshire Volunteer Regiment with the fol- lowing officers Battalion Commandant W. D. Hob- son, Sub-Commandant R. W. Phillips, the Adjutant (Mr I). J. Rowlands), the Quartermaster (Mr G. H. Reidi, and Platoon Commander G. It. (Jricrson; the Menai Brieve V.T.C. in charge of Sergeant Senogles; the Bangor Men's Voluntary Aid Detachment; Bangor Boy Scouts, under Scoutmaster Irving: Menai Bridge Boy Scouts; the liangor Railway Institute Boys' Corps (with their bugle band), in charge of Captain II. F. Perkins. In the Cathedral, which was crowded, were the Bangor Women's Voluntary Aid Detachment, to- gether with a number of wounded soldiers from the Penrhyn Cottage V.A. D. Hospital. A contingent of the National Reserve from Menai Bridge, under the command of Capt- Nicholson, also attended, as also did Capt. Langdon, UN., and StatI-Paymastcr I ndcr- down, R.N.R. The service opened with the hymn 0 God our help in acres past." which, like the special psalm, the %111. "God is otir hope and strength," contains several verses of special significance in the present crisis. The Te Deum and .Jubilate were .sung to Sir Arthur Sulli- van's setting in D, and the anthem, "I will sing Thy power, 0 God," was also by the same composer. In substitution of the recessional hymn the National Anthem was sung by tho whole congregation. The musical portion of the service was effectively rendered under the direction of Dr. Roland Rogers, the Cathedral organist. THE HOPE OF THE NATION. The Dean was the preacher. Taking as his text l'saim 39, 7, And now Lord, what is my hope, truly my hope is even in TLice," fie said that psalm was written by David in his old age at a time of serious domestic, religious and national trouble. Ilis son Adonijah had formed a conspiracy for the purpose of securing the throne for himself and had won the support of Joah, th^ commander-in-chief of the army, and Abiathen, the high priest of the temple. When tidings of the revolt reached David the outlook was dark indeed, but at that critical moment, as at other tinier, he looked from earth to heaven, from niati to God. A new life eiitert-d itito him. Feeble in body, wear- ied in mind, his feet already touching the waters of the the river of death, he strengthened himself, went forth from his sick room, confronted the assembly of princes, priests, and people, and proclaimed Solomon as his successor on the throne. Whence that energy and fresh life '¡ It was the energy of hope, fresh life of trust- in Cod. "Hope," continued the Dean. may bo defined as the to colue. it is of its expectation of good things to come. It is of its essence to look. forward to a future better than the present, better than the past. A nation which did not ve in its future would decline and fall. Pessimism degrades life, hope ennobles character. It was good to have had a glorious past. They were lifted to a higher level as they recalled the lives and the noble deeds of saints and heroes. But to main tain a vigorous life a nation must aspire to a nobler ideal and a higher standard in its future. What was their hope as a nation? Their hope was God Al- mighty. To win the war the nation must indeed pro- vide men, munitions, and money. God hdps them who help themselves. These things were essential, but their hope lay not there, they must look higher, 'Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirt, saith the Lord of Hosts.' To know God is to trust him, and to hope in llim; knowledge of his character in- spires confidence. So did the thoughts of his dealings with them. In those critical days of August, 1914, England might have repudiated its bond and treated it as a scrap of paper, but it determined at whatever cost to be true to its word, and to have a clear na- tional conscience. Ever since the t-iclj of genuine patriotism had been rising higher and higher. No one asked now What will my country do formed The question now on everybody's lips was 'What can I do for my country-' 'It was the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes. Let them think again of the purposes of God. Why had He enabled the British Empire to expand to so great an extent that the sun never set upon it? Why had he enriched it Why had he en- dowed them with the gift of government, so that wherever British rule is established, justice and right prevailJ They could not but believe that God had in view some., great, work to be accomplished by their nation in the future. The clearer their knowledge, of Uod, the brighter would their hope be, the brighter their hope the greater would be their energy and zeal in the discharge of duty. After the service the procession re-formed in llign- street and proceeded to Deiniol-road, where it was dismissed by Capt. Langdon, R.N. Lieut. Archer took charge of the procession and Mr D. J. Rowlands acted as marshall. WELCOMING D.C.M. HERO. I INTERESTING PRESENTATION ON THE I "CLIO." I- I .-r. r. Empire Day was celebrated on the L-uo iraintn0 Ship by the performance of an operetta in aid of the Red Cross fund, and the presentation to Quarter- master-Sergeant Gast:ill, one of the officers who has been awarded the Distinguished Conduct Medal for bravery in Gallipoli, A detachment of the boys with their band, conducted by Mr Bates, assembled at the railway station to greet Q.M.S. Gastall, who has been an inmate of the Park Gate Convalescent Home, and who is still suffer- ing from the effects of the wound he received, his right arm being in splints. Directly he arrived out- side the station, accompanied by Capt. and Mrs I,an. don, the band struck up a familiar air, and the boys lustily sang I "For he's a jolly good fellow, He's got the D.C.M." Repeated cheers were raised, and then a procession, headed by the band, was "formed and proceeded down lligh-street, which was gaily bedecked with flags. In the afternoon, on board tho "Clio." a perform- ance of tho operetta "Life at Sett" was given by a number of the boys, assisted by several officers. The upper deck, where the performance took place was packed, among those present being a number of wounded soldiers. At the interval a presentation was made to Q.M.S. Gastall by Capt. and Mrs Langdon and family, and the officers of the ship of a handsome Russian leather writing case bearing the crest of the recipient's bat- tery. Capt. Langdon, in making the presentation, said that Q.M.S. Gastall was one of ten of his officers who volunteered for service directly after the outbreak of war (cheers). They had very sadly missed him be- cause he was a great favourite with all. The boys, in particular, were very fond of him, though, as a rule, boys were not fond of their headmasters (laugh- ter). As to the act of bravery which won for him tha D.S.M. he could not do better than quote the following which had appeared in a magazine South of Krithia, on the Gallipoli Peninsula, dur- ing June and July, 1915, the guns of the l-5th Battery, 1-lat East Lancashire R.F.A. (T.F.), were dug in close behind th3 forward trenches and in consequence were exposed to heavy shell and rifle fire. On the 4th and 28th of June and the 12th and 28th of July two non commissioned officers of the Battery—Quarter- master-Sergeant Gastall and Sergeant Taylor-greatly distinguished themselves. These two gallant men never left their guns a minute, but kept up a per- petual fire 011 the enemy despite the fact that shells were continually bursting in close proximity and they were a target for the enemies' rino and machine fire. Q M S. Gastall was wounded on July 12th. On many occasions these two men had narrow escapes. For their bravery they were both awarded the D.C.M." In conclusion Captain Langdon remarked that a D.C.M. wanted some winning in this war. Q.M.S. Gastall, when he rose to acknowledge the gift, was greeted with a salvo of cheers. He was presented with a bunch of nowers by Peggy Emynett,, the little daughter of Chief Officer Emmett. Q.1 Gastall expressed his delight at being once more on the old ship. "I am thankful I am alive," he added, "and f am thankful we are still on the way to vic- tory (cheers). We are not going to be placed under the German heel (hear, hear). I am a conscientious objector (boohs and laughter). Oh, I don't mean a conscientious objector to combatant service, but to making a speech—{laughter)—and as ('apt. Langdon has told you the interval was to last only five minutes I cannot trespass further on your time. The boys are due to have their tea at 4 o'clock and they will never forgive me if 1 keep them waiting." The Itoll of Honour of the ship was exhibited showing that ton officers and 300 of the old boys are known to be serving in the army and navy. There are numerous others who have not been traced. Two of the boys have obtained the D.C.M. in addition to the honour conferred on Q.M.S. Ga.st.a11 A most enjoyable performance of the operetta was given under the direction of Mr Bates, the band- master- It was enlivened by many items not in the book, anrj the boys and also the officers who took part kept the audience entertained throughout tho afternoon, and quite maintained the" Clio standard of efficiency. Particularly amusing was the appear- ance of King Neptune and his satellites and the "crossing the line" ceremony in which the ship's bar- ber played a prominent part. The characters were as foilows :-Sailor Jack. Mr Adams; two boys of the ,,¿H.g (Prod asd- Turn), J- Livosoy, a sailor, T. Hornby; Mr Ferguson, Yankee Dollars Sergt. Buffer (three passengers), If.

IBANGOR MILITARY I -TRIBUNAL.
I BANGOR MILITARY I TRIBUNAL. I A PASSENGER ON THE "APPAM." I I VALUE OF AN OATH ENFORCED BY I GERMANS. A sitting of the Bangor Military Tribunal was held at the Town Hall on Tuesday night. The Mayor (Mr R. J. Williams) presided, and the other members present were: Dr. Arnold, Messrs H..C. Vincent, W. D. Hobson, T. J. Williams, Jarnes Cumming. T. E. Taylor, Professor Archer (the acting Military Representative), and the Clerk (Mr Pentir Williams). SL-PPORTINU AN INVALID AUNT. Cornelius Hughes, ironmonger, 10, Menai View, Upper Bangor, applied for further exemp- tiOIl. He was granted three months' exemption In February last. The Military Representative dissented on the ground that the applicant was not. the sup- port of his invalid aunt as stated by him in his application. Also that it was not in the na. tion-al interest that he should continue the iron- monger's shop in Cpper Bangor. Mr Vincent; I understand that the chief ground of the application is that he is the only one to look after his atitill" The Applicant; lea. The Mayor: Have you tried to dispose of your business?—Yes. I put the matter in the liaaids of an aucttoneer, and he advertised the business in four papers, but no applications have been received. Mr Vincent; Your application is made, not so much 011 the ground of hardship as the fact that, there is on one to look after your aunt if you go. You do not put forward the other grounds so much?—No. I am the only support she has as she is an invalid. The Military Representative; You mean by supporting your aunt that you look after her affairs?— Y es, and the house. Mr Vincent; Has she a servant?—•She has had one this week. My aunt is a permanent invalid, but she is not confined to bed. The Tribunal dismissed the application. The Applica.t:. Shall I have time to dispose of my business? I was told last time to appear before you in three months. The Mayor said he could appeal. OUTFITTER'S MANAGER. I Mrs Lioyd, outfitter, Cattle Hill, sought further exemption for her manager, Waiter Jones (36), who had previously been granted three montW exemption. It was stated on behalf of the applicant that she could not get another experienced man to manage her business. Walter Jones had been with her for 21 years, and for some years she had left to him the full conduct of the business. He had already lost a brother at the front, leav- ing a widow and five young children. Three months' exemption was granted. I DEPLETED COUNTY COURT STAFF. I Daniel Bums, principal clerk at the Bangor County Court Offices, claimed exemption. His employer (Mr Glynne Jones) also joined in the application. It was stated that there was only ono other clerk in the office. Conditional exemption granted. I ONE DAY'S EXEMPTION. John Bruce Brown, dock labourer, 1, Robert- street, sought further exemption on the ground that he id the sole support of his widowed mother. lIe informed the Tribunal that none of his brothers made any allowance to his mother. The Military Representative dissented -on the ground that tiiere would be no hardship if the applicant joined the Army. The Applicant claimed that. dock labourers were exempted. Mr T. E. Taylor: But not on such dock s as Port Penrhyn. Dr. Arnold: There is no one finally exempted. All cases are subject to national necessity. The Applicant said he gave his mother a guinea a week „ 4 <:> Mr Vincent: Your father was a good old sportsman, and if he was of military age I doubt whether he would have appealed. One day's exemption wa3 granted, but the Mayor exoiain-ed i-hat as the applicant was not attested, it would mean two months Robert Hughes, baker, 32, Albert-street, em- ployed by Messrs T. Lewis, Son and Co., applied for exemption. Conditional exemption was granted. A WIN DOW-CLEANER'S BUSINESS. Joseph Ansonia (married), window cleaner, etc., 7, Fountain-street, claimed exemption on the grounds of hardship. The applicant said he paid E12 10s for the go6d-will of the business last November. Mr Vincent: I thought a rag would be sufficient capital for your business (laughter). The Applicant mentioned that he paid 89 a week rent for his house a.nd yard, and 3s 6d a week in respect of hired furniture. The Mayor: Could you not get a man over military age to take this business over?—I have tried. The Mayor: Could a woman not clean the windows?—If a woman will take the business she is welcome to it. Mr T. J. Williams: Is it not illegal for women to clean windows outside of houses? The Mayor: If so, there is a lot of illegality going on (laughter). The Military Representative, in opposing, con-. tended that though the case was a hard one, it would, to some extent, be met by the Govern- ment provisions. The case would not be sub- stantially helped by any temporary exemption. The Mayor stated that the Tribunal thought the applicant and his brother (who is in the same business) should come to some arrangement so that one could carry on both businesses. For that purpose the case would be adjourned. Absolute exemption was claimed by R. Gordon Roberts, electrical engineer, Craigydon-road. The Military Representative dissented. A month's exemotion was granted. CORPORATION FOREMAN GASFITTER. I The Borough Lighting Engineer pl r Price Whifco) olaimed exemption for Arthur Ow-en., 207, Carnarvon-road. foreman gasfitter. Mr Price White held that the applicant was entitled to conditional exemption on the ground that it was in the national interest that he should be retained in civil employment. The applicant was anxious to go, but it was with diffictilt-y he was persuaded that his duty was to remain at home. If he was taken he (Mr Price White) did not see how they could go 011. Mr Taylor: The wOifka would have to close down. Mr Price White: No doubt we could carry on somehow. I Three months' exemption was granted. BAKERS APPEALS. I The Clerk stated that at the last sitting the Tribunal heard the applications of three bakers, J. A. Chambers, George Smith, and David' Hughes, and it was arranged that one of them should be medically examined at Wrexham. Chambers stated that lie was passed for general service at Wrexham, but still he claimed to be exempted. He was in a certified trade, and the Tribunal had exempted two bakers that evening. The Mayor: But there are three bakers in your lirm, a.nd that makes a difference. Mr T. J. Williams said the question was whether the three men were fully occupied in supplvirg the needs ot the town. Chambers said he and his (jartriers worked from six a.m. until eleven p.m. every day. The Mayor pointed out that the Tribunal were influenced by the fact that the business would' be carried on intact elen if one of the partners went. After a long deliberation in private the Mayor announced that conditional exemption was granted Hughes and Smith, and the application of Chambers was dismissed. AN ECHO OF THE "APPAM." I Thomas 1'i Prio), hsheiman, Oartu, apphod tor a bsolute exenptio 1 on rather unusual grounds. He stated thit he had been working on the Gold 'Coapt, and returned home last January. Find- ing he could not get a passport to return to the Goki Coast, he invested his savings in a first-class fishing boat in order to follow ihis previous occu- pation. If he had to enlist it would mean the laying up of his boat aiid the lew of his c-i-pital. "I may also state," he added, "that during the vovaigo home from the Gold Coast on the A p- pam' we were captured by a German auxiliary ci-uiser, and to secure >toy release I had to sign that I would not take ul) arms e.gainst Germany or her Allies, and therefore I trust I shall not be blame.d!oraki'£ ..th.

The Military R-epreociifative said he regarded tht oath the applicant took as binding upon him, and he should be released from combatant ser- v ice. Absolute exemption was granted conditionally upon the applicant continuing his work ae a fisherman. An application made on behalf of Norman C. Mclnroy, 53, Ormc-road, boat builder, was ad- journed for him to obtain the War Service 'bad-ge. It was stated that Mclnroy had applied for admis- sion to the Air Service. John Henry Rowlands, loco. fireman at Port Penrhyn, 45, Ambroae-strcet. was given three months' exemption. The application of Vtf. Holt, porter, Brighton Villa, Cork, lecturer in classics at the University College, and who claimed total exemption on the ground of ill-health, was adjourned for a medical report.

! THE COUNTY THEATRE. I
THE COUNTY THEATRE. I The principal picture shown dining the first bait of the week was "The Country Bov," while lor the second half there is a screen version of Allen Raines well-known novel, "A Welsh S.rger." The scenes were actually filmed wÜn- in a few mile3 of larger, which a.dds to the in- terest of the picture. Florence Turner is the chief actress. The sixteenth episode of "The Broken Coin" serial is ako bcm?

This .is an adaptation of Sardou's well known play, "Patrie," in five ree-e, and will be pourtrayed throughout in colour. It will be found a powerful and intensely dramatic story of love and political intrigue. Cunning plots, fundish cruelty, nd sa I-age oppression arc placed in a setting poetically fair and rich with historic memories—Ypres, Bruges, and Louvain. A peculiar interest is added by t.he realisation that never again can the wonderful examples of ar chitectural art be the local object of a cinemato- graph camera. Diversity will be adde 1 to the programme by the ubiquitous Chartfe Oia-plin, who will be seen in a rollicking two-reeler, "Champion Charlie For the second half of the week, "A Woman's Passion," a newly-released French exclusive by the Prima Co., will feature Marguerite de Laney. To follow- the "Broken Coin," which is now draw- ing to a close, "the wonder serial"—"The Diamond from tho Sky" in thirty chapters, has been booked. Patrons should note that the per- formance at thia house now commences at eight o 'clouk.
THE PALACE.I
THE PALACE. I An irnportaiiit innovation has been decided upon by the management in connection with the amuse- ments tax. In future the prices will be 3d, 4d, 6d and 9d, and the management pay the new tax. No fewer than four lengthy cxolusivea were secured for tihLs wook-, On Monday tihere was "Fight to the Death" (2000 feet); on Tuesday and Wednesday, From Headquarters" (3000 feet.), with "Across Egypt," a coloured travel picture; while to-night t.ho programme will in- clude "Bctwcnn tho Two of Them" (2000 feet); and to-morrow (Saturday) there will be Dorortihy" (2000 feet), with "Italian Engineers," a topical picture. Drama and humour are well blended in next week's programmes. On Monday the chief picture will be Blot on the Shield" (an exclu- sive 2000 feet), with three cpmic films. On Tues- da.y there wiU 00 Kate Waters, of the Secret Service" (an exclusive 2000 feet), with too funny fihiifl, two dramas, and Pathe's Topical Gazette of the Latest News. Those who want a good lauig-h should attend the performances on Thurs- day and Friday, there being three films which are calculated to produce much mirth, while Oil Sahirdlay the principal picture is "Locked Door."

THE PICTUREDROME. I
THE PICTUREDROME. I Among tho star pictures this week have been rThe Enemy's Baiby," which proved an attrac- tion on Monday and Tuc-adarv, and "A Woman's Love," an ICraglish drama, < on Wednesday and last night. To-night and to-morrow night, and also at tiic, matinee to-morrow, the Imperial two- part drama "The Comedian's Mask" will be the principal film in a prqgrammo which also in- cludes "A Desperate Chance," "Tiie Delivery Packet," and a. Western drama. The last opisode of "The Million Dollar Mys- tery" will be shown next Monday and the two following evenings, and should prove of great interest to the many patrons who have followed the exciting serial. The other serial, Exploits of Elaine," is, however, still running, and the sixth episode will figure in the programmes for the- latter portion of the week. The bill top.lwr for the week are "The Lost Son," "A Floren- tine Traigedv." and "A Midnight Bell."

IBANGOR MILITARY I -TRIBUNAL.
Being in a certified occupation, Daniel S. Hughes, baker, in the employ of Mr John Hughes, High-street, was granted conditional ex- emption. It was slated that serious hardship would ciiiiie if Evan John Evans (married), Minafon, ia fore- man and bottler with Messrs R. P. Culley and Co., bottlers, was called to tho colours. The Military Representative dissented on the ground thrrt the applicant was not in such a highly Skilled trade that a su'ljstitute could not be found. The application was dismissed. David John Thomas, boot repairer with Mr Wm. Thomas, 298, High-street, sought exemption and his employer also appealed on his behalf, The Military Representative aesented to three months' exemption on domestic grounds, and this th-i Tribunal ,confirmed. On t.be ground that I ,is widowed mother was solely dependent upon him, John David Arfon Jones, architect and surveyor, 108, Orme-road, claimed exemption. He stated that he had two brothers in the Armv, and a third had been killed in a munition works.—Three months' ex- emption was granted. AbfiOJ'.ite exemption was claimed for Thomas Jcnes (21), 41, Fountain-street, a blacksmith at th'j Foundry, Hirael.—The Military Representa- tive said it was hard to believe that a youth of 2; years was indispensable He objected to the application. Mr Owen, the employor, said that two men would be thrown out of employment if Jones went. Jones could not be replaced. A month's exemption was granted.
