Mae'r cais wedi ei wneyd droion o'r blaen, ond hyd yn hyn ychydig o sylw a roddir iddo gan eglwysi'r wlad.

Er mai brodor o'r cyfandir yw y mae wedi ei swyno gymaint gan brydferthwch Cymru fel y bwriada dreulio y rhan fwyaf o'i ddyddiau hamddenol yn y wlad a 'roes iddo ei gydmar dalentog a melodus.

not possess the same faith in the justice of their case as many of those outside who sympathise with them have. Distraught Russia.—Though the Czar has made his peace with the enemy in the Far East, his troubles nearer home seem to be increasing day by day. The region of the Caucasus is the latest scene of revolt and civil war. Two different tribes who dwell there, the Tartars and the Armenians, have flown to each other's throat, with terrible results. The region is the region of the oil springs, and the greatest Russian industry is located there. All that vast region has been devastated, the oiltanks and factories completely wrecked, and thousands of the inhabitants killed and wounded, either in the struggle between the fighting tribes, or by the army sent there to quell the disturbance. It seems that the Tartars are responsible for this the latest outbreak of disaffection. There is very little doubt that rising has been long planned and carefully organized, and that it is quite as much a revolt against autocrat rule as an attack upon Armenian Christians. About one hundred Englishmen who are interested in the oil trade lived in the district, and it was greatly feared that they might be slaughtered but according to the latest information they have escaped. Russian misrule is becoming more of a European scandal than that of Turkey in its p worst days, and it is high time some of the other Powers interfered, that is, if there be any Power with sufficient conscience and clean enough hands to do so. The Earthquake in Italy.-A terrible earth- quake visited several of the Italian provinces the 'end of the week and made enormous havoc. It is estimated that 3,000 persons have been killed and 50,000 rendered homeless by this awful disaster. Throughout the districts affected the terror-stricken peasants have taken to the fields and refuse to re-enter their homes. Thousands of women and children are without any kind of shelter, and their sufferings from combined want and terror can be more easily imagined than described. The authorities, from the King downward, are doing the very utmost in their power to relieve the suffering, and all the news- papers throughout the country are opening sub- scription lists on behalf of the sufferers. It is such occurrences as these that reconcile us northerners with our portion of the globe. If we have not the joys of the sunny south, neither have we the danger of the collapse of the earth under our feet continually confronting us. The Prime Minister v. Conscription.—We do not know if Mr. Balfour's speech at the Volunteer Bazaar in North Berwick on Saturday will satisfy those who are up in arms against the War Secretary's treatment of that force. He said many sweet things, used the most honeyed words, but he did not refer to Mr. Arnold- Forster's circular which has caused such dissatis- faction. We ourselves, however, are more inter- ested in that passage of the speech in which he made the following pronouncement:—" There are two great problems which we have to face How are we to find an army numerically sufficient to defend our possessions beyond the seas ? and How are we to defend the shores of these islands? These two problems cannot be con- sidered apart from each other. On the first of these I would remark-you cannot solve that problem by conscription. No Western country, no country of Western Europe, has ever attempted or will ever attempt, in my opinion, to employ "an army raised by conscription principally, for the purpose of defending its possessions thousands of miles distant across the ocean. The experiment has never been tried by a highly- organised community. I do not think it ever will be tried. I am certain the present Govern- ment would never be responsible for so wild an experiment, and I do not believe its successors, "Whoever they may be, or however many of them unay be in the vista of the future, will ever show what some might describe as greater courage, but what I should describe as greater rashness." We are exceedingly glad that the Prime Minister has spoken out so unequivocably on this ques- tion-if he could also curb the foolish utterances of Lord Roberts and a few other military agitators, he would do the greatest service of his life- time.
