SEPTEMBER 14th, 1900. HE CHOSE. Be threw into the sea of human life All that he was, or had, or hoped to be, And stood a nakod beggar in the world That took ungrateful all he had to give And scorned him when he lacked for very food, Nor found a resting place to lay his head. The world ne'er asked him for a sacrifice. But went unheeding on its scornful way To goals he wet not of and never sought, Aad left him with the unremembered dead Long years passed by. Then one wham he had helped Cose up to ble-s him, but forgot his name. Still he was blessed ag much in namelffisness As if his acts were deeply graved in brass, Or blazoned forth by heralds through the world, for noble life must be its own reward. The Coast. J.G.

POETRY. Wales is the land of poetry and yet the apparent poverty of English poetry is evident at every eisteddfod and competitive meeting. There are other poems besides "The Collier's Dying Child" and "The Women of Mumbles Bead. I have never heard recited in the coarse of well over thirty years residence in Wales a single poem of Whittier Or Lowell, who were the recognised mouth-pieces of the gospel of freedom Of Welsh poetry I am not capable of writing. There is much that is truly great THE FOOD POSITION. The coast resorts have solved the problem of food supplies very satisfactorily. There may be a piquant discussion at the next Aberyst- wyth Council meeting or there may not. The eity fathers have the town behind them any- bow. J

Taylor IArvd, M.C., presided over a public meeting held at Tabernacle Chapel on Friday evenin? in aid of the British and Foreign Sailors' Society. An address was given by the Rev. T Ryuon Davies. general secretary on the Society's work and objects. Thousrh undenominational, the Society was evangelical. He 'emphasised the duty of remembering the sailor in the time ef peace in gratitude for what he had done durinll' the war. Relating the Society's efforts on behalf of sartors throughout the wide world. The abowed how 38,000 victims of the Pubmarine Menace were helped, 1Id how the prisoners in Germany, including a few from Aberystwyth, were provided for. Hundreds of sailor firieoners would have starved if it were not for the Society's help at the rate of £3,000 a month. The Rev. James Evans, secretary for Central Wales, also gave an address and pro- posed that the Chairman and Mr. J E Harries facling as secretary) should he asked to make arrasigements for the formation of a local branch.

He has for many vears been secretary of the South Wales Chapel Fund. He i Succeeded at Tre-harris by the Rev- G. Bedford Roberts, TALE OF THE W AR.-one of the most thri'ling tales of the war has now been made known. In Mav, 1917, the Cunard steamer, "Caronia" was for nearly a week in grave danger through fire raging below. All the coal bunkers were ablaze, and so critical was the position that at one period neryone was massed on deck in case the worst happened There were 4,000 tiroops on board travelling from Durban to India. One of them was Mr. J. L Davies, George-street, Aberystwyth who was then serving with the R.F.A. According to the version of an ex-armv officer in the "Sun day Mercury," tho-e were frequent explosions. Stokers were injured and burnt. Volunteers were called to man the stokeholds and clear the biinkers. the dcsperate remedy of flooding the bunkers was carried out. The vessel was anchored near Portuguese East frxca. Every outlet was opened and orders 1.sfiuod for a general parade with life- all the f tW° h°UrS °f a'nxiet* a*d danger, all the fires were extinguished wnt^thSVENSI°NS- Mr Griffith EUis vstlv^ r V4 reCeDt ^e Aber- •n f' r Guf^lans a resolution was approved m favour of "an amendment of the oTlll fZT tn t0 i""vide th3t »<» 5e X owin^ to h reduction in pension W J6 1]er receipt of a pen- due to the loss of a son whilst on active Sr' th receipt of the said Pensi°n wii/ iT0 above the maximum e Aet in determining the P °f °ld a»e P°ns^n" marriage was solemnised at H°'y ^'nifcy Church, betwee^ te Mr. J W.

MUNICIPAL CON-CERT.-There was again a crowded attendance of visitors and resid- ents at the Town Hall on Tuesday evening when the weekly series of municipal concerts was continued. The programme was well sel- ected, pleasing in its variety and artistic in its accomplishment. That music-lovers wore gratified wag amply demonstrated by the rapt attention and enthusiastic applause. If any- thing, the demsnds for encores, though richly deserved, we-e excessive and inconsiderate hav- ing regard to the length of the programme and the voices of the artistes. Miss Sophie Row- lands 'and Mr David Eva.ns were the vocalists. Tl eir sinking wag thoroughly appreciated and gave satisfaction to their admirers. To the Orchestra, (conducted by Mr J. H. Rowe) no greater compliment can be pa.id than the continuous popularity it gams both for indoor and outdoor performances. A feature of Tuesday evening's pi'Ogr&mittg Vie "11 T. I vatcrc! with the cdfhflt and piccolo cn-mbin- J ation in "Miserere.The unanimous opinion was that the concert was a treat and the attendance proved the need for larger and more Suitable room. Alderman T. J. Samuel, Councillors Barclay Jenkins and Enoch Davies have taken constant interest in supervising the arrangements. The artistes engaged for next week are Miss Hilda Roberts (winner of the soprano solo at the National Eisteddfod) and Mr W. R. Allen (DoJgelIey). DROWNED WHILST BATHING.—Professor F. W. Moorman, professor of Enjli<h litera- ture at Leeds University, wa^ drowned whi'e bathm<r with his children at H^wkswick Upper Wharfdale where he was spending vacation on Monday. It is supposed that the professor had a seizure while bathing, as he was a good swimmer, and the place where the tragedy occurred was safe. He was forty-seven years of ago. Hp, was educated partly at the University College of Wales, Aberystwyth, and was for a time assistant lecturer in Eng'ish language and literature there. He had writ- ten extensively and was an acknowledged authority on dialect and folk-lore.

The bridegroom was attended by his brother as best man. A reception was held at the bride's home. The bride and bridegroom, who received a large number of useful presents, afterwards left for Treorky, South Wales. SWIMMING.—Referring to the swimming match which took place on the 3rd, a corres- pondent writes—I think it should be reported without any favour to either of the competi- tors. What I would like you to correct is that Lewis had no "little start." In addition, I would like to congratulate both man on their exhibition, especially the loser, for his fine show, game, and sport HORSE FAIR.—The half-yearly horse fair will be held at the Smithfield next Wednesday.

POINTS OF VIEW. By J.M.H. The members- of the police force in Cardi- ganshire are men from the land or from the practice of rural handicrafts. It is decreed under the recently-passed Police Bill that a constable on appointment (on probation) shad receive seventy shillings weekly, cj* E178 per annum. After ten years approved service a constable shall be entitled to 90s. weekly or C234 per annum. About twenty of our constaMea; will become forthwith entitled to this amount. Many of our constables will become entitled to the maxi- mum pay which is awarded after twenty-two years approved service, viz,. 95,. per week, or £ 247 per annum. Sergeants are given on appointment £5 per week, equal to E250 per annum. Tn five 3dars they become entitled to, 112s. 6d weekly, equal to E282 10s. All our sergeants are in this category. We have two inspectors and their saldes may be any- thing between E300 and £400. My contention is that this scale of pay upsets the financial equilibrium of the county of Cardigan. It is not that one objects to a police con- stable receiving handsome remuneration, but that it is difficult, if not impossible, to pay other people, equally deserving and doing public service of equal or greater responsibility, pro- portionate wag. If the Home So^ir-etary had invited the Chief Constable of Cardiganshire, the two suporintendents, the six or more ser- geants and the thirty odd constab'fes to meet together and to fix a scale of pay that was adequate to the conditions of living in Cardi- ganshire that was co-related to the salaries paid already by public bodies and individuals to their employees, amd that was genofLVIL,, to a class, of men who are entrusted by the Crown I and the public with the detection of crime and I the preservation of the peace, they would never have dreamed of claiming for a constable on entering the forcg E178 per annum, for a con- stable with ten years- service, E247 per annum for a sergeant f282 10s. per aiintim, and for an inspector (whicq is cn 'y a glorified name for two of our sergeants), something near £400 par annum. The Cardi is thrifty, frugal, close-fisted. He stinCs himself in food and clothes. He must have put savings by from the time of Noah to be able to invest two or three million pounds sterling in war bonds, as he recently did. He used to pay, up to three months since, two county surveyors at the rate of 2160 per annum. Two months ago one of the surveyors re- tired. In advertising for another the Cardi offered a salary of JS200. That may be counted as inadequate, mean, shabby, if you like, ignominious, scrubby, dirty And yet there is the fact. And, strange to say, several competent men applied. The man appointed is under middle age. He can draw pans for bridges and roads; he can submit estimates and quantities. He has had the charge of men on. big jobs and the care of accounts in a large way. Under Mr. Shortt's scale, att ordinary con- stable whose mental and physical capabilities are not strained by over-difficult problems, whose duties are not puzzling, embarrassing, and onerous to any excessive degree, is paid a couple of score of pounds, more than this sur- veyor. There is not a curate in the coumty that can touch him. The teacher has not yet matched this stand- ard, though "he aims at the stars. I do not believe there are ten Nonconformist ministers in the county who are paid 2250 pel:" annum. But the Imperial Exohequer contributes half the cost That is but small comfort, for a ve-v large proportion of the larger ratepayers are now taxpayers. Why is all this ? Well, the Metropolitan Police, about the be- ginning of the year 1919 became restive, threat- ened to rebel if their demands wero not con- sidered and granted. A commission consisting of serm gentlemen was appointed to consider and report whether any and what changes should be made in the method of recruiting for the conditions of service of, and the irates of pay, pensions, an allowances of the police forces of England and Wales and Scotland." The Government found itself at one of its frequent awkward turnings. The Committee met in a hurry. They called evidence in a hurry. They submitted their report in a hurry. A Police Bill was drafted and driven through Parliament in a hurry, giving legislative effect to the recom- mdndaticMis of the Comtn ttee, having Lond on Liverpool and the great industrial communities chiefly in their mind's eye. This is what I think deserves to be called "legislation in a panic." el Because there was excitement, a crisis, a panic in London the people of Cardiganshire are called upon to pay their police at a rate that far exceeds the stamdaird of pay that ohtains in the county in every walk of life. It means serious dislocation and discontent in other services. We are ftsked, as Mr. Charles L'oyd aptly described the situation, "to close our eyes, to open our mouth and to swallow what the Homo Office throws into it." The Standing Joint Committee meeting on Thursday, the 4th September, said in its action "We will not take it sitting down." The most significant observation made m that meeting was that of the Lord Lieutenant when he said Let the Finance Committee propound a scale that is adequato and gener- ous for Cardiganshire, and let us stick to it."

The company organ- ised by Mr. Keith Kenneth to support Miss Sinclair is a strong one, and the scenery and costumes, a feature in themselves are on the same lavish scale as on previous visits. For thlJ latter part of the week, "Remnant," which was a success in London at the Royalty Theatre, will be staged and the powerful com- pany playing- Baby Mine" will do justice to this beautiful story of Paris in the early sixties. This week-end the attraction at the Coliseum is "The Quaker Girl."

Jones, following resolution was passed in silence, the members standing:- I "That this Council place on record the deep regret with which they have received the news of the death of their colleague, Principal Thomas Francis Roberts, M.A., LI.D., who served continuously from the beginning as a momber of the Court of Governors ard of the Council. Principal Roberts took an active and prc-minetit part in the work of the National Library up to the time when he was unfortunately compelied- by illness to with- draw from all work. By his regular attend- ance at meetings of the Court, the Council, and the Committees, and by his wise advice and practical assistance at all times he did much to promote the welfare of the Library. In connection with the raising of funds M the building he did invaluable work in con- junction with Mr D. L'eufer Thomas and others by organising collections in London, Liverpool, Cardiff, Swansea, Aberystwyth, and other places. The Council in conveying these resolutions to Mrs. Roberts and her gon desire to express on behalf of all connected with the National Library their deepest sym- pathy with them in the heavy bereavement they have been called upon to bear." Two flag-staffs have recently been erected on site3 chosen in consultation with the Archi- tect. The difficulty of procuring suitable flag-staffs of sufficient height was met by the kindness of Mr. T. J. Waddingl-am, D.L., J.P., of HaSod, and his agent, Mr. J. G. Morris-Davies. Two firs oach 65ft. in height after trimming, growing in the grounds at Hafod were selected, and felled. They were safely convoyed from Hafod to the National Library on a large timber carriage by Mr T. A. Lewis, of Nant Arthur. The two trees have been presented as a zift by Mr Wadding- liam. After being barked and all notches ro- moved, the staffs were fitted and painted. To receive the staffs holes seven feat deep and four fe-st square were prepared with rock foundation in one^case and a bed of concrete in the other. The staffs wore placed in posi- tion with the aid of a temporary derrick and a winch, the holes being filled in with cement concreto. Tho five feet of the poles embedded in the concrete were treated with three cOat of tar before being placed in position. The staffs are staved by four cables of one inch, attached to steel rings securely fastened to large blocks of Portland stone embedded in concrete. The flags are flown from hemp halyards, replaced by wire rope halyards (to withstand the weather) when the flags are removed. The first flags wgro hoisted on July 15th in honour of the degree ceremony of the University of Wales held in the National Library when the Welsh flag and the University flag were used. On July 19th, Peace day, the Union flag and tho Welsh flag were hoisted. The -Union flag at half rnaft was hoisted on receipt of the news of the death of Principal Roberts, the Welsh flag being flown on the day of the Prin- cipal's funeral. The two flags, specially mado, are ep-ch 21ft. by 9ft. Each st-iff is 60ft. above the ground, about 10ft. higher than the Library building. The positions centre with the main road in front of the building, are a few feet higher than the and equi-distanee to the N.W. and S.W. angles of the buildintr. On the Chaiftnan'g propositioa, seconded bv tho Treasurer, the following resolution was passed■ fnat this Council of the Nifoijal Library, an institution which is deeply in- dited! to th* Prime MrnisteiJ for (Elective help at various stages of its growth., I Jesixes to offer him its hearty congratulations upon the great share he has had in the attainment of a victorious peace."

CORRESPONDENCE. COLLEGE APPOINTMENTS. Sir,—You were quite right in saying in the editorial comment appended to my note in your last issue on Aberystwyth College Appcfintmants, that "tho Colle authorities have a perfect right to do what they pleaso"- always assuming that "right" means "power."« It was because they exeTcisad that "right" to do what was "wrong" that I ventured. to ventilate the matter in your columns. My complaint was, and is, that a committee appointed to consider applications for the ndvertised chair of Welsh did not do what they were asked to do, but did do what they wore not asked to do. They were instructed to make a recommendation on the chair of Welsh. Instead of doing that they made a 1 ecojnmcndation for what you correctly describe as "a different appointment alto- gother" -an appointment for which no appli- cations had been invited. That tha feeling of uneasines3 I impcirfectly voiced m my letter as to how the "right" of tho Coilego authorities is being exercised, iS by no means confined to those on the spot, -I)ut is becoming so general as seriously to threat,en thQ position of the College in the nubile mind, is evidenc-ed by your influential contemporary, the "South Wales News," which, dealing with the vacant principalship roundly declares that "as in the case of numer- ous otlier appointmentt that have recently been made in Wales, advertising the post appears to bo merely a form, and it Seems cortain that the gentleman appointed will be one of a small group of favourites whose ¡ qualifications arc well-known to the members of the College Council." No public institution in Wales or elsewhere can afford, by the exercise of its "right," to do 'wi*ong," thus challenging public critic- ism and undermining nuhlic confidence. It is an open secret perfectly well-known in Aber- ystwyth that weeks before Mr Gwynn Jones's appointment was announced, and before the Appointments Committee which recommended the appointment had met, the creation of such a chair, and the appointment of its present holder, were alike matters of common know- ledge in certain College circles. Similar state-! monts as to the approaching appointment of Sir Edward Anwyl's chair are already being freely made. I In this connection the public who support the College and in the past reposed confidence in its administration have a right to ask and to know why the recognised rule in nomina- ting the Appointments Committee was ignored in selecting the members of the Welsh Chair Appointments Committee, while it was clearly and rightly observed in selocting the members of every other Appointments Committee for the chairs filled at the recent Council meeting? That the reader may appreciate the point and its bearing on the appointment to the va-ant Welsh chair, it should be explained that a committee of experts in the particular subject to the chair of which an appointment is about to be made, is nominated. This committee always includes recognised experts in that particular subject, men of standing in the academic world, from the English univer- sities, as well as from the Welsh colleges, and from outside the colleges in Wales. In other words, the guidance of the best export opinion in the kingdom is sought. This was done in the case of every chair, other than the chair of Welsh, for the purpose of report to the recent meeting of the Council. The names of the specialists from outside are available. This, the usual and regular course, was de- parted from in the case of the Appointments Committee for the chair of Welsh, and for the chair of Welsh only. Why was that? Why was Dr. Gwenogfryn Evans, a member of the Council, and the greatest authority outside the colleges on old Welsh, excluded? Why were the Bishop of St. David s and Archdeacon Williams, ex-professors of Welsh at St. David's Coilego not included? Why was Professor Powell, the emeritus professor of Welsh at the South Wales University College ignored? Why was thete no professor of Celtic or of comparative philology from any college or university outside Wales placed on the Appointments Committee for the chair of Welsh? Was it because those experts could speak with authority on the past record and actual qualifications of the applicants and would p!ace the interests of Welsh scholarships above all other considerations that they were not placed on the Committee? Can the Com- mitteo, as constituted, carry anything like the authority and confidence it would have com- manded had these distinguished specialists boon, as they should have been, added to the Aooointments Committee for the Welsh Chair? —I am, etc., CWMYSTWYTH.

DEVILS BRIDCE PARISH COUNCIL INQUIRY.—An inquiry was held On Wednesday evening into an application for a now parish council for Wan- fihange'-y-Creuddyn Upper( the Parish Council last elected having been unable to act by reason of want of councillors* The recent appointment of overseer was not discussed, as the inquiry was only confined to the applica- tion. The County Council was represented by Messrs. Peter Jones, C. M. Williams, R. J. R. Loxdalo, T. J. Samuel and Mr Evan Evans, clerk. Mr Hugh Hughes represented Mr T. Vaughan Lewis. Enquiries were made as to the method of election of the Parish Council a.nd it appeared that no records were kept. Evidence was given by members who had rc- signed. Mr J. G. Morris Davies said that out of twelve members no fewer than seven were co-opted by the remaining five. The result of the inquiry will be reported at the nixt meet- ing of the County Council.
