A League of Celtic Nations CYMRIC CELTS. That the consanguinity of ancient races, formerly kinsmen, but now living hundreds •of miles apart, speaking utterly different- lan- guages, and for many ages jiving under strangely different conditions of environment., is apt; especially under distressful circum- stances, to assert itself by despairing appeals for sympathetic help from those long for- gotten blood relations living under happier conditions, is recently exemplified in -an in- terview betwecn a Cymric Celt at Teschen and representatives of Cimric Celts, or Czecho- Slovakians of Bohemia and the mountainous district focussed round Teschen and Prague, To many of us the place-name Teschen was practically unknown until our own Prime Minister, on his return from the peace con- ference a Versailles, called attention to its importance, but Prague offers a stranger sight: that of a busy centre of industry in the golden light of a Dmiubian summer's evening, peering through dens" wis of factory smoke. The lassitude enger- the journey through a Germany irently furtive semi-despairing inhabi tx: was speedily dispelled on encountering thetJnguine virile representatives of Czecho-Slovakia of Teschen and Prague, whose friendly overtures became almost embarassing to naturally retiring Cymric Celt, speaking and thinking in the vernacular -as he did, of the lowland Celts who according to Bertrand, radiated from a "Danubian centre circa 1,200 B.C. In 1915, the Czecho, having to make up their minds where they stood in the great' world conflict, at once openly challenged the power botli of Vienna and Rome and commenced to cele- brate the occasion by building a vast city hall ag a magnificent monument in memory of the -quincentenary of the martyrdom of John Huss. By this they proclaimed their faith and at the same time made their historic choice. Napoleon has said The master of Bohemia is. master of Europe," and Europe's desfcinies t must be very closely bound up with the land dreamily passive East and the activities ■of the West meet and mingle. The hopes of r these Czecho-Slovakian-Cimric-Ceitfi at the pre- sent time appear to be built On a future ad- mission into the scjlect circle of the Entente as the leading power in a semi-circle of small nations of racial affinities, a solid phalanx of self-contained allied nationalities which will "keep the world's peace. It is inspiring to hear the regard and smouldering affection which this Utopian new state hag for the older one of Great Britain, including as it does so prominent a proportion of Cymric Celts. If j asked to prove their comganpuinity, you are referred to the pages of history—to "good King Wenceslas" of our Eng'isli calol: flo the "blind King John," whose death at. Crecy brought tears to the eyes of Edward III. and -whose ostrich feathers, assumed by the Black Prince, appeared on the British coinage, of the period and still fortn the crest of our present Prince: to good Queen Anne, daughter of Bohemia's great Charley IV., who married our Richard II.; and to Elizabeth, the white queen," daughter of our James 1., ¡e dearly beloved wife of Bohemia's last King, Frederick. Prince Palatine. They remembe- the the British parliament gave them in lSi8, and with tears remind you that on August 8th, 1918, Great Britain was the first power to recognise ia Czecho-Slovakia a free and independent •nation. Finally, from a merely commercial point of view, what is wanted as a first instalment of assistance is a few thousands of railway wag- gons, 800 a month only being the Czecho production; transport and coal urgent re- quired. forty rer cent. ôfil-heit coal now go- ing to Austria. But. primarily, credits are greatly necessary for tihe textile industry and for raw materials a sum of £30,0,00,000 is men- tioned as a beginning: but were it not for our sugar, the backbone of our economic life. we might as well give up .the pTioat." are only 100,000 nnemnloyod out of a itotal population of 13.QOO;0DO. The Cymric Celt had heard rmougli to satisfy him that here "tV88 a new republic certainly meriting all the help, sympathy, and knowledge that can be afforded, and sorrowfully said goodbye to his Cimric long-lost-blood relations.

Evans, of the Welsh National Memorial. Mr Evans had been in- formed and also the Ministry of Health. A telegram was received later from Mr Evan3 stating that the question of the purchase of the Workhouse was at, present impossibTe.—A reply wits received frcm Mr. David Davies, M.P., in reply to the Guardians' resolution with regard to an increase in iilie allowance of pauper lunatics, and that the Government should supply increased grants in order to facilitate it. Mr Daviefs said a prima facie case had been ma out by the Guardians, but the necessary legislation could not be undertaken at the present time. It was de- cided to grant 2s. extra Christmas relief to adults and Is. to children. A resolution from Builth Union protesting to the Government against the tncrdased prices of meat and suggesting that stcck graders should be dispensed with, was left cn the table. The qunstion of dispensing with the Work- house was further discussed and it was sug- gested that if a further rtiply was received from lihc Memorial Association, the Clerk should, call a special meeting of the Board.— Mr John Edwards said the building should be sold if possible.—Mrs. Mary Thomas said the public feeling in Machynlleth was against sel- ling the building. — Mr John Evans said the feeling dthe Machynlleth inhabitants should not bias the Guardians' decisions. The build- ing did not belong to Ma-chynMeth but to the whole district.—A letter was read from the Ministry of Health stating- that it would be more suitable if the Guardians let the Work- house instead of seliuig as the purchase money WOttld go to the common fund of the Union and it would be necessary to have the approval of the Minister of Health as to its disposal.— Mr M. E. Francis said tho large majority1 of the Guardians were in favour of selling the building.—Mr Rowlands, the clerk, Suggested investing the puro'iase money if the building wis to each district, according to the rateable value. — Mr. M. E. Francis proposed and Mr David Evans socondedf, that the Otiairman and Clerk should draw out a letter to the Ministry expressing the views of the Guardians on the matter.

Mr. Arthur Edwards (Shiloh) opened with an eloquent appeal to the house and especially to the newiy-enfranchised women members. He maintained that the Govern- I ment had fulfilled S's pledges; that a Coalition ) is by far the best system; and that under the j party system much valuable time is lost in I fruit'ess opposition. There is no room for pri. vate opinbon in any party. Mr Sam Davies (Ram) opposed on the grounds that there was no necessity for the I:it.Q general election. A war-weary country returned the present Gov- ernment in gratitudo for the end of tho war. The country is in the same position as before the war, and the sacrifice does not seem to I have borne fruit. Tho Prime Minister had failed in his promises. Ho might, possibly have been nourished on the spirit of Wales in his youthful days, but now Mr Lloyd George I wa: being fed -out of the feeding Wt7e of tha Northcliffe press. The present foreign policy was a failure. Mr Lloyd Jones (Shiloh) said the Government had only been nine months in power and during that time had shown it. j s^lf prompt and comprehensive in action. Mr Ben. T. Lewis (Ram) said the Government was wasteful acid shoi<sighted. It bargains in a strke and maintains and broedfc a swarm of officials who feed on the land like locusts. Professor Tyrrell Green (Ram) pointed out how the British nation had risen to the occa- iDn, and it had the foe at last at its meroy, ut politicians stepped in and robbed the sold. ier of his victory. The Government had been ri,btly accused of wastefulness, bungling and profiteering. Several other -members spoko, tho debate lagtrng about three hours. The J tellers, Mr Ernest Davies (Ram) and Mr Lloyd ) Jonte (Shiloh) announced that the proposition was carried by five votes.

Ancient Aberystwyth. INTERESTING LECTURE. The inaugural lecture under the auspices of the newly formed West Wales Geographical Society was held at the Aberystwyth College Examination Hall on Monday night, when I Professor Marshall presided over a good attendance of students and residents of the I town. The Chairman, in introducing Professor H. J. Fleure, said they were ail glad that the Professor had been elected president of tne Co.lege Geographical Society, as no man was more worthy of the honour. He had done pioneer work in Wales and in other parts of Britain as well. It was very desirable to have such a Society in order to make people interested in their own neighbourhood, and the Lecturer in selecting "Our Neighbourhood" had selected a worthy subject for the opening lecture. Professor Fleure said thixt for a number of years an attempt had been made by a number of peiisons to use geography as an instru- ment for education. During the past five years the wcr.d had seen much suffering more or less through ignorance of one another's ways and by educating the people through geography it would be possible to promote goodwill between the different nationalities. They found that in living in one place they felt an attachment for it and so this attach- ment had grown in him during twenty-two years in the district. After studying their own neighbourhood and their own problems they naturally thought of other lands with their prob ems. Therefore, the study of their own neighbourhood was an essential part of better understanding of other lands. In 1922 the Coliege was to have its jubilee and some, like himself, who owed it a great deal wished to see the jubilee celeb: ated with every possible dignity. They, therefore, de- sired to see the Society help to pro- duce a study of the neighbour hood in a 1 possible aspects. years men had puTsued the study or tne neigu- bourhood, among whom were Professors Bryner Jones, Stapledon, E. A. Lewis, W. J. Pugli, J. Lloyd Williams, 0. T. Jones, Messrs R. D. Laurie, F. S. Wright, C. L. Wa. ton, W. E. Whitehouse, R. U. Sayce, J. Jc-nos- Griffith, Dr. Stanley Smith, Miss R M. F em- ing, and others. In his lecture he wou'd try to make a sketch of the neighbourhood in its relation to man. The district was .bounded by the sea with high hills be- hind. Instead of sharp ridges as they found in Northern Wales. they found the hills wita bro.ad backs forming a high plateau inland sending out spurs towards the coast which were covered with gcrse and bracken. On the high plateau there were remains of trees. j t might have been covered with for- estsx a word meant to describe a wild dis- trict, and the moet abundant tree-s were the ash, oak, thorn. There were no trees on the ridges, but only in the slopes and in the val- leys. They found abundant traces of early life in the camps, ridge rows, stone circles, buried mounds, and standing stones which serve as memorials to antiquity and they were all on the hills. In investigating human identity they could n: t find much about life in this part of the world until a few centuries before the Romans, 1 there was wnpistakable evidence that a line of communication existed between Britain Find the eastern Mediterranean at least 2,000 years before the birth of Christ. An ornament made of Irish gold vras found aii Troy-a town which was probably forgotten before Homer's Troy was built. In those tar off times Ireland played a great part in the trade of the world, traders coming frum far. off countries for the gold which Ireland was noted for at the time and the country became a centre of civilisation with many connections extending to Wales. An extracrd-nary number of prehistoric camps probably of the Iron age ■■ere in North Cardiganshire which may pess- ibly be accounted for by the presence of lead mines, Wales ought to ttike a great pride in its folk tales and he would like to see a university press publishing them- The folk tales revealed the mo(le of life on the moorland as contrasted with invad- ing Iron Age life in the valleys, and no folk tales could compare with the Welsh for naturalness and truth. A hoard of RJ)man coins was discovered at Ca,pell Bangor, and led one to think the Romans used a North to South road west of the mountains. A line of communication between North and South Wa-'es, running down the west sde of the country has ever since been a first, class need of Wales. Ireland, untouched by the- Roman's- and saved from the chaos when the Roman Empire fell came to relieve the broken west of Europe. The Irish priests came over and landed at St. David's which became a holy city and the centre of Christi&nity. One of the subordinate centres was Llan- ba;iarn wh c i took. ts name from saint "Padarn" who became the Celtic apostle in these parts. There were evidences of the early Christian life in two stcne crosses now placed in the Church one of the ninth or tenth century and an older one, going back to prehistoric times—whiah were in the South transept. In Norman times strategic points on the line of communicrition above-named were fortified by earth works and traces could be seen at Lian- dre and Tanycasto'l where existed one of the finest Norman earth works in this part of the country. It is almost certain that this was the origina1 Castedl Aberystwyth. It was not until the beginning of tiie thirteenth century that they found traces of the town of Aberystwyth, the beginning of tiie thirteenth century that they found traces of the town of Aberystwyth, perhaps prior to that time people dwelt inland to keep clear of the pirates who infected the coast. Once piracy was lessened the town was bui;t-the inhabitants being employed in the making of material for the use of the Castl. and also in fishing. The Castle now in ruins was probably not the first castle built, and the town grew round it. The town was surrounded, by walls which had gates at the foot of Great and of Little Darkgate-street respectively. Aberystwyth remained of value as the placa which gathered up the roads from the South to go up to North Wales as well as because of its eastward cconnactions. At the end of the seventeenth century and beginning of the; e-'ghteenth century Britain enormously ex- tended its sea trade and Aberystwyth became a place of importance in relation to ship- building and foreign trade. That feature of the tiwn .had disappeared, but it left traces to be seen in the ^number of mem from the town going to sea and becoming ships officers and engmerire. The shipbuilding craft brought the furniture craft with it and Wa'es was noted for its oak furniture. With the revival of Welsh nationality, Aberystwyth, an the hnk between north and south west of the hills wh'teh protected it from England, had berx>mo more and more a centre of expres- sion for the Welsh people.

WOMEN IN BUSINESS. LADY RHONDDA AND CO-OPERATION. A meeting was held in London this week of the Efficiency Club for the promotion of greater efficiency and co-operation among business and professional women. One of the aims of the club is the admission of women into British Chamber of Commerce. Lady Rhondda, president of the Club, who occupied the chair, said the club was the only centre of its kind in existence, and their policy would be one of co-operation, not only between business and professional women, but also betweem man and women in the business world especially. Men had been very generous and helpful to Women; who had reason to be grateful for the way men had behaved. They had stood by women and had been prepared to judge them on the test of efficiency. The appeal of the club would be made to the whole of the country. The position of women had grown very much in recent years in business life, and they were now suffering from not being able to keep in touch with one another. While in most of the professions everyone entered at the same gate, this was not the case in busi- ness life, and for a long while she had per- sonally felt the need ror some kind of organ. isation to bring women in their various spheres together. The tendency for oo-operation was a modern one, and was' to be seen in the closer confederation of tabour, -and sim- ilar bodiefs. She thought, she had found a sound basis in promoting tJhe Efficiency Club on the principle that unity was strength.

liLANYCRWYS ANTIQUARIAN—The pariah of Llanvcrwys has the distmction of possessing one of the oldest inscribed stones in the county. When the present stable buildings of Llanycrwye Vicarage were being buirlt- about 20 years ago, a stone, presvimaibly a foundation stone, was Idisoovored at a depth of about six feet. On it was the date 1374. It was discovered on the site of rm old mill. The field is called Cae'rfelin to this day and the mill according to tradition was called Felin.cwn-bleiddiaid (the "Mill of the Wolfhounds.") A pack of hounds was probably kept by the Lord of the I Manor for the extinction of wolves which haunted the wooded valleys amd the rocks of I Craigtwrch; and for the maintenance of these hounds, a certain toll of oorn was levied I annually on the tenants. The stone has re- cently been built into the wa^l of a small building attached to Llanycrwys Church, thai inscription being in new.

When near the Vicarage he saw a motor cycle and side car approaching at a dangerous rate. The cyclist was coming from the direction of Machynlleth at about twenty miles per hour. The foremost sheep were just on top of a hill and the motor cyc'e ran into the middle of the flock, injuring five of the sheep which had got entangled underneath the side car. Witness managed to extract them and found two of them so seriously injured that they had to be slaughtered. They were Wel-sh ewes and the driver of the motor cycle could have aeen the flock about sixty yards from the spot. Mr. H. H. Hughes, Machynlleth, was on the road at the time. When the motor cycle and sidecar wag coming along the road Hughes, who was ahead of the flock of sheep, raised his hand up and rang the bell on the Dicycle which he had dismounted. Although the motor cycle was stopped, defendant did not dismount and offer to help in getting the t sheep from under the car. Witness took the number of the motor cyc*e and accused said nothing.—Cross-examined: He was driving the sheep from Llanbadarn to Morben Mawr, a distance of sixteen miles.

Mr. Horace Hedley Hughes, painter, Mach- ynlleth, said that when he got to the top of the hill at Eglwysfach, having passed the flock of sheep, he saw the motor cycle coming along the road at a dangerous rate of from fifteen to twenty miles an hour. He raised his hand and rang his bell in order to draw the de- fendant's attention, but he did not take any notice. He saw the motor cycle running into the flock of sheep and he returned and helped. When he told defendant he had rung his bell defendant said he did not hear it.—Cross- examined He was certain that defendant was driving at a dangerous rate. He cou d have seen the sheep fifty yards before he got to the. flock.-The Chairman: Is there any sign in Eglwysfach to warn drivers of vehicles? It was imperative that notices should bt put up.—John Leo Field, defendant, saif1. be was a salesman in Birmingham, He was coming to Aberystwyth for his holiday and started about eight a.m. that morning. His wife, who was in the 6ide-car( held her child of three 'years in her arms.

He was unable to see the sheep until he was on them as they were on the other side of the hill.-Mrs. G. Field said she was with her husband in the side-car on the day of the accident.—Mr. T. C. Hughes said it was not a case of negligence, but it was a pure accident.—A fine of 23 in- clusive of costs was imposed. Mr. D. A.

II. CORTbT AT ABERYSTWYTH. VISIT Or FAMOUS PIANIST. Aberystwy was greatly bpnoured cm Thursday by a wsit from the world-faumd French pianist, M. Alfred Cortot, who gave a recitai. at the Parish Hall. The visit was ia the nature of a t.eat and the enormous crowd which assembled to hear M. Cortot was in it- self sufficient proof that botfti the town and College appreciated the famous pianist's gen- erosity in giving his time to visit the tows. M. Cortot is undoubtedly the greatest of *&e few great pianists living—his interpretafacaa being typical of the integrity, the clears and refmement of tlie French school. His technique was a revelation and the enlightew- BMSt of the player showed that we in thit country cou d leam a good deal from oar French allies. It could also be said with equal force that it was pleasant to feel that a great mind like that of M. Cortot could re- ceive inspiration from a Welsh audience. ThO gratitude of those present waa manifest hj rapt attention and we hope it wiU not be long before M. Cortot pays another visit to Aberystwyth.

LlANFAHtCLYDOCAQ. ANCIENT MANSION. There is an inter- esting fact connected with the history of Llaa- fair Clydogau, of which very few even of tbe inhabitants of the parish seem to be aware. fit is well known that a stately mane son one* stood on the site now occupied by the faim buildings of Llanfair Fawr. It was inhabited for. rmmy years by a family bearing the nana of Johnes. Several members of this 'family have from time to time held high office ia political and civil life. In particular Walter Johnes held high office in Parliament in the reign of Henry VIII., when an Act was passed to determine, define and constitute the coontis of Wales. This task was entrusted to this Welsh minister, bemg conversant with the geographical features and ancient boundaries of Wales. The interesting fact in connection with this is that Mr Johnes left London with a friend, presumably 'the Lord Chancellor, wd came to Llahfatr. They set to work and this, task was performed and completed within tJra walls of this anciemt mansion of Llanfair.

This match, was regarded as the event of the season and drew a large crowd on ttt Coll ground where many historic struggles have been waged between the two CoIlegef The game creatied enthusiasm as the hews team were determined to wipe out the reverse sustained in a previous e»oounter at Lampeter when one of the best of the Aberystwy-h players had the misfortune to fracture Us right leg. Throughout, the gsttne was marked by swiftness, and the encounter proved oie of the finest seen on the Coil field for scue years. Aberystwyth possesses a pack of for- wards wfno would be formidable oppcnejts to any side in Wales and thefr passing at times on Saturday was very pretty. If <ne shone above the others it was W.

The cefcvtre t-hroe.jjtoarters were^' a little on the weak side, bat' the wings *ere really good. In the ha'f-back line W. T. j Davies and1 Hoare combined well.
