THE AFTERMATH OF WAR.
THE AFTERMATH OF WAR. The Tory Government made a hideous mess of their diplomatic intercourse with the Dutch .re- publics. Their management of the war brought on severe and humiliating reverses; and how ever successful it may be in the long run, the conquest of two small communities of peasants can never bring much milit ary glory to the great- est empire in the. world. One might have thought tha.t the measure of Jingo iniquity was full. But when the scythe -of war has passed over the stricken field, there is an aftermath. In Africa, it is already perceptible. To the astonishment of shallow-minded people, it is a crop of rank and poisonous weeds. The country has observed1 with dismay that the losses due to active compaignins. even when the work was most disastrous, are likely to be- comie nignificant when compared with the losses through disease. Why is this ? The plain truth seems to be that the hospital system has broken down completely and hopelessly. The arrangements of the Government, which should have been complete and ample, were so inadequate that voluntary hospitals have been I organised. Some of these, too, have broken J down. The Welsh hospital in particular has been unfortunate. The principal surgeon. Pro- 1 fessor Jones has died. Several surgeons and dressers have also suffered severely from dysent- | ery and colic. The latest show that J this hospital, notwithstanding all its misfortunes, is doing good work; but it is evident that if all the voluntary hospitals were multiplied a, hundred fold, they would be utterly inadequate ( for doing what should be done. The military hospitals, moreover, appear to be in a most dreadful state. On Wednesday, the "Times" I (apparently after much hesitation), ventured to publish a. long letter from Mr Burdett-Coutts, I which is a terrible indictment of neglect and 11 I mismajiagement resulting in frightful suffering, and a lamentable loss of life. Since Dr Russeil showed! up the mismanagement of the com- missariat in the Criinea, there has been no such an exposure of the nincompoops who are allowed to govern us. It will be recollected that Sir William MacCormac and Mr Treves, dis- tinguished medical men, reported, after a visit to South Africa, that the hospital arrangements were excellent. But what they saw were the arrangements made in Natal and Cape Colony manv months ago, when there were only about seventy thousand soldiers in the field. Mr Burdett-Coutts's letter refers to a much later period, when the army numbered three times as manv men, when winter came on, and! when typhoid began to be rife—an entire change of conditions which seems to have been ignored by the War Office. Probably attempts will be made by the Sealing Wax and Red' Tape Department .to prove that all has been done for the best by the best of all possible governments. But the indictment of Mr Burdett-Coutts is too well supported by private letters from soldiers and from nurses, to leave any doubt as to its sub- stantial accuracy. It is positively asserted, for instance, that at one hospital camp, the sick and dying were systematically robbed of the hospital comforts supplied from headquarters, and that, with one exception, no punishment has been meted out to the offenders. In Cape Town, a leading newspaper has published charges by an invalided trooper to the effect that gross scandals have been frequent in the administra- tion of the field hospitals, that orderlies have been brutal and corrupt, and surgeons negligent, and that officers of the Army Medical Corps have been dishonest enough to put enteric patients on half diet and .sell the balance for their own profit. Thus Mr Burdett-Coutts's indictment does not lack confirmation. And what a terrible indictment it is! Writ- ing on Mav 29th, he declared that there were 20,000 sick and wounded in South Africa-more than half of them down with typhoid-not a man less, probably a few thousand's more. At Bloemfontein a few days previously, there were 5000 sick; and 5000 had been sent down the line the fortnight before. One "ûdd hospital" near Bloemfontein remained for a whole month without beds, mattresses, or nurses. It was crowded with 250 patients-the regulation num- ber is 100. Of these patients, 90 suffered from typhoid fever, where there wa only accom- modation for fifty. A fortnight later, a visit disclosed the following state of things:- "With no further equipment than two marquees and lb few bell tents, no addition of staff or any- thing else, there were 316 patients, of whom half were typhoids. Their condition was almost indescribable. The tents were bell tents, such as were mentioned in a former letter as affording sleeping accommodation for from six to eight orderlies, when working in sound health. In many of these tents, there were ten typhoid cases lying, closely there were ten typhoid cases lying, closely packed together, dying against the con- valescent, the man in his 'crisis' pressed against the man hastening to it. There was not room to step between them. Think of this, you who know the sort of nursing a typhoid patient requires. With no beds or mattresses, and only 42 stretchers in the whole hospital, it followed that 274 patients had to be on the earth. There a great scarcity of blankets, and no patient could have more than one, with a waterproof sheet be- tween his body and the ground. The ground is hard as stone, and at night the temperature falls to freezing point. Besides other deficiencies which cannot be described, there were no sheets or pillow-cases or pretence of bed linen of any kind; only the coarse rug grated against the sensitive skin burning with fever. The heat of these tents in the mid-day sun was overpowering, their odours sicken- ing. Men lay with their faces covered with flies in black clusters too weak to raise a hand to brush them off, trying in vain to dis- lodge them by painful twitching of the leor r-- tures. There was no one to do it for them. Seventeen orderlies had come with, or been raided for, the half-section of the field hospi- tal ten had been taken from it, the number being made up from the Bearer Company; but they had other duties to perform than brushing flies off patients' faces. At night, there were not enough to prevent those in the delirious stage from getting up and wandering about the camp half naked in the bitter cold. In one tent, where some slept and others lay with eyes open and staring, a case of 'perfora- tion' was groaning out his life huddled against his neighbour on the ground. Men had not only to see, but often to feel, others die. It was a sad and sickening spectacle this, which I describe exactly as my eyes sa.w it, and without exag- geration or excuse." Mr Burdett-Coutts made a third visit. After a heavy rain, he found many of the patients lying in three inches of mud. The number of patients was now 496, 300 of them typhoid. There were three doctors there, when there ought to have been twenty, still no nurses, and only twenty-five untrained privates as attend- ants, most of them convalescents! We wonder whether these disclosures will lead to any abatement of the bellicose delirium which has been so prevalent lately. Possibly not. But it should give additional point to the defence made by Mr Lloyd-George of the few stalwarts who declined to vote supplies. Evidently, there is much justification for those who said of the War Office noodles —"I would not trust them with sixpence to buy a bag of buns."

The speeches delivered by Mr Yoxall, M.P., and the Bishop of St. Asaph at the teachers' conference at Denbigh, on Saturday, if they may be taken as an indication of what we are coming to, seem to show after all that there is a. pos- sibility of arriving at yet anotheT compromise in education. The salient points may be put in a few words. Mr Yoxall, who described himelf as "a Liberal in politics, and a Nonconformist of the fourth generation," said that "while a wholly clerical system of education would never be allowed to obtain in this country they might be perfectly certain that no political power would ever extirpate in this land the i-diezi of denominational education." The Bishop of St. Asaph, whose attitude on educational questions in the House of Lords and elsewhere can never be forgotten, on the other hand, admitted that in parishes where there were only National Schools a parishioner who did not like some of the teaching given in the Natona^ School had a grievance. Further, Mr Yoxall briefly sketched out a compromise, andi the Bishop approved of it. How far both these speeches may be taken as representing the views of both parties to the dispute is another ques- tion, but it. is something to have some kind of an agreement between two such men. To have unsectarian education within the reach of every child must continue to be the aim of every true educationist, but if some of the evils of the present system can be removed by a workable compromise, it is difficult to see why such a compromise should not be arrived at. It might help in time to produce a generation of people capable of seeing that true education cannot be l"cleniominaft.ional." --r-
ITOWN AND COUNTRY NOTES.I
I TOWN AND COUNTRY NOTES. The connection between baskets and foxes is not very apparent. But there is a connection be- tween them, and I say so on the authority of no less a personage than Lord Tredegar. His lordship (who is a master of foxhounds), speak- ing at the second annual meeting of the Welsh I Industries Association the other day, strongly supported the proposal to promote basket- making on the ground that osier beds afford ex- cellent cover for foxes. Now, baskets are very I useful things, and that alone would recommend their making to the ordinary man. But, of course, lords are no ordinary men, and, there- fore, something besides mere utility must be discovered before they can be expected to stoop to think of baskets. Thus it is a happy circum- stance that foxes have a liking for osier beds, wherein to stow away the poor farmer's lambs ¡ and chickens. Henceforth the poor farmer should console himself with the thought that when he loses a lamb he is merely supporting a branck of industry, and the basket-makers should regard the fox as a most useful animal, insomuch that it brings them the patronage of lords. There may be some apparent objections to the proposal to make an electric railway from Car- narvon to Dinas Dinlle, and the lighting of Car- narvon with electric light, but is it possible that the objections are such as to preclude the discussion of the matter? I have heard mem- bers of the council speak of it as a most desir- able improvement, which should' by all means be considered when the proper time came. It appears that a certain gentleman has asked, the council to consider the question, but the coun- cil, or rather a committee of.the council, decided that they had no legal powers to do anything in the matter. Now, if the proposal is a rea- sonable one, and if it affords the town an op- portunity to secure the tramway and the electric light, has not the "proper time" arrived? The matter might at least have. been discussed. By discussion, nothing would have been lost, and a good deal would have been gained. At Pwll- heli, the other day, a similar matter wa.s dis- cussed in open council though the gentleman who brought it forward admitted that it was not in order, still he thought it, too good a to be lost. One member of the Carnar- von Council is reported to have said that "some- times it is well to take a common sense view of matters, apart from, their legal aspect." That is very true, but, the council having got into I somewhat of a muddle with the gasworks, I am afraid that the law in this case is a mere excuse. At the meeting of the governors of the Car- narvon County School the other day, reference was made to the complaint that boys do not re- main at school long enough to get the benefit of intermediate education. As a remedv, it was suggested that as many as possible of the scholarships should be retained as internal scholarships, which would provide an element of stability in the school. No doubt much could be said in favour of this proposal, but it hardly goes to the root of the matter. Years ago, it used to be the practice among people of the better class, to send their boys—they hardly thought of their girls then—to a grammar school for a "quarter," after they had; left the ele- mentary schools. This "quarter" was supposed' to complete the education of a boy. The notion is hardly dead, and until it is thoroughly dead; 1 :.=:=. there will be many boys who win leave before they get the benefit of intermediate education. The Bethesda cemetery difficulty mav now be regarded as settled, as the Free Churches, with the exception of two, have accepted the offer of land by Lord Penrhyn. His .ordship has also met the wishes of the Nonconformists by ex- tending the offer to a larger district than at first intended. If I am correctly informed, this was the difficulty in the way of accepting the offer at first, so that now things may be expected to work smoothly. The Merionethshire Liberal Association has at last accepted the resignation of itr 0. M. Ed- wards, who has decided to devote himself to literature rather than politics. While regretting that it is impossible for Mr Edwards to continue as the representative of his native county, Welsh scholars and .students will welcome the news that he is going to devote himself to the writing of "his history of Wales. Others may be found who will accurately represent Merioneth, but a his- tory of Wales from the pen of Mr Edrwards will be invaluable. I cannot help thinking, however, that the Association is rather too slow in the matter of selecting a candidate. Continual ad. journing and a multiplicity of meetings to dis- cuss the same question are the things that make the ordinary man lose his interest in politics. I sincerely congratulate the Baptists of Ben- bigh, Flint, and Merioneth, who met at Ruthin during the week, on the fact that they passed a series of progressive resolutions dealing with ,r 11 public questions. They protested against the establishment of a Romanist University in Ire- land, condemneJ: the Government for refusing to give facilities for the passing of the measure I prohibiting the sale of drink to young children, and cordially approved of the measure for ex- tending Sunday Closing to Monmouthshire. More than that, they had the courage to deplore the growth of the spirit of militarism in this country. There have been many religious meet- ings lately in which no mention was made of the matter, and it it is pleasant to find that there are yet some Christians who dare to make what may be an unpopular stand for the sake of the Christian teaching. ————————
| BANGOR NOTES.
BANGOR NOTES. The cold, almost winterly weather we have lately experienced has not been conducive to an influx of visitors, but during the latter part of the week, there has been a marked improve- ment in the number of trippers. I should not call them exactly trippers though there is a difference between that oft-libelled class and the higher-ranked visitors. What I mean to say is that holiday-makers, be they the holders of day, week-end, or season tickets on the the railway, are considerably on the increase, and the autho- rities are lavish in their preparations for their comfort. There are the pier entertainments which this year promise to be more popular than ever they were. I have not had the pleasure of attend- ing any of these, but they are talked about and well advertised by those who have attended them. That is all that the authorities ask for. They cater for the amusement of the public, and the latter spread the news abroad with the result that the concerts, entertainments, bicycle gymkhanas, and what not, increase in popularity day after day. Now I am a thorough believer in the principle of doing a thing well if it is done at all, and the Bangor Council, or that portion of it who control the pier, have succeeded in popularising the great "white elephant" which everybody up to a couple of months ago thought was going to be a big burden on the ratepayers. The same trouble has arisen at Bangor as has been exercising the minds of Carnarvon people for some weeks past. I refer to the Sunday School trip difficulty. Of course, Sunday School would not be a Sunday School unless it had its trip, but it so happens that there are so many Sunday Schools, and each one of them has a trip, that the school board complains that the attendance at the day schools is greatly inter- fered with on the days when the Sunday scholars are enjoying themselves. This is a very sensible grumble on tlite part of the school board authorities. The ratepayers suffer as well, though I cannot pay the board the compliment that it is in the interest of the rate- payers they complain. All the same, the trip has become a nuisance, and I hope the day is not very far distant when it will be abolished alto- gether. It will relieve a good many people from needless responsibilities and tend to reduce the number of accidents which we read so much of in connection with outings of this character. I The suggestion of the board to cope with the evil is, however, not a wise one. They urtre the superintendents of Sunday Schools to have their trips on a Saturday or during the summer vaca- tion. Saturday may be a. very good day for gentlemen of leisure, but every tradesman is busy and the average workman does not care to have his weekly half-holiday interfered with. Saturday, at any rate, is out of the question. The vacation, of course, is a round of holidays, and most of the children of well-to-do parents, who would like to be in the Sunday School trip, are away from home enjoying themselves at other pleasure resorts. Their absence would materially lessen the number in the Sunday School show, and the authorities of the latter would not care to turn out just one-half their usual number. The only w: to meet the diffi- culty is to make an honest attempt at establish- ing a Sunday School Day which shall be ob- served by all and during which the day schools shall be closed. If this could be done consider- able annoyance and trouble would be avoided to all concerned. I notice that the fity council building com- mittee are just about ready with their scheme for the location of the new University College buildings. They have kept their own counsel so far and have not made public even the locality in which they propose to situate the college. It is to be hoped that their scheme is one that will not only lend itself to their own favourable consideration but will be such as will suit the majority of those who will have to use the col- lege. Too often, a selfish interest thrusts ieself forward, and college professors have an un- happy knack of thinking that college buildings are to be erected for their personal conveniences instead of accepting the fact that they are but the servants of a public that occasionally wants to be pleased. I hope the site selected will be one which will be convenient to all and healthy to those who have to use the buildings, and that a. spot will not be thrust upon people contrary to their wishes.
