---I |THE SHREWSBURY RAILWAYI…
-I THE SHREWSBURY RAILWAY DISASTER. The terrible railway disaster at Shrews- bury happened, like most railway accidents of any magnitude, with appalling sudden- ness. Death visited most of the unfortu- nate victims swiftly and painlessly, and the extent of the tragedy can be gauged by the lamentably long list of dead and in- jured. It is perhaps some little consolation to know the exact cause of the accident. For some unaccountable reason-the death of both driver and fireman will prevent any tangible light ever being thrown upon the origin of the disaster—the driver over- ran his signals set at danger, and in trying to retrieve his error, launched himself and his train into eternity. The accident seems to be on all fours with that of the Grantham disaster. A heavy train travel- ling at a too high rate of speed fails to negotiate a sharp curve and jumps the metals. In this case it is stated that the vacum brake was on and there can be little doubt that the unfortunate driver either put on his brake too late, or else the greasy state of the metals caused the heavily weighted train to practically skid down the incline at terrific speed, absolutely out of control. It requires little effort of the imagination to picture the dreadfully sudden conversion of a beautiful engine and handsome cars into a distorted heap of scrap iron and matchwood. One can see the magnificent train of brilliantly lit vans and corridor carriages filled with passengers rushing swiftly through the night, some fast asleep, others talking and laughing happily, unconscious of their impending doom the next moment, quicker than one can record the fact, a bewildering sickening crash, utter darkness, and then for many an unfortunate passenger, eternal silence. This accident is another illustration of how, in spire of the highest organising skill of great railway companies, the greatest dis- asters arc usually caused by temporarily mental lapses on the part of drivers who hold the best records for good service and skill. Can it- be that constant familiarity with all kinds of danger creates amongst the most careful drivers, a certain degree of recklessness and contempt for caution? Martin, the driver of the ill-fated train, was an old and popular servant of the Com- pany, and it is stated he worked Monday night's eight o'clock mail from Holyhead to Crewe. If the unfortunate man commit- ted an error of judgment he has paid dear!v for it, but, unhappily, eighteen other help- less people have lost their lives through no fault of their own.
iTHE NSL. IN NORTH WALES.
THE NSL. IN NORTH WALES. It is gratifying to note that the National Service League movement is making steady progress in North Wales. Within the last three years no less than five strong and flourishing branches have been established at different towns along the coast, while two others are now in course of formation. A noteworthy feature of the movement is I its non-political and non-sectarian aspect. The preparedness of the British people to defend their home and kindred is not a matter of creed or politics; it is a question which vitally and directly affects everyone of his Majesty's subjects. The public are realising that the League has no other ob- ject in view than to ensure that prepared- ness, and hence the remarkable success which it has already achieved. To those who have not already interested themselves in the movement, no less than its numerous supporters, we commend the interesting address delivered by Capt. Cros- field, at Colwyn Bay, on Friday. He was one of the members of the Commission deputed by the League to inquire into the Swiss system of military training, and amongst his colleagues were distinguished military men, several Conservative and Liberal leaders, and four or five well-known Labour and Socialist members of Parlia- ment. The inquiry appears to have been thoroughly successful. The Swiss military system affects all physically fit men over the age of twenty years, who are subjected to forty-five days' training every year until they are thirty-two years of age, when they are drafted into the reserve force, where the demands upon their time are comparatively small. The majority of the Commission were emphatically of opinion that, with a few unimportant modi- fications, the system would prove an effi- cient and economical substitute for the mili- tary system under which the destinies of the Empire now rest. If the League were to do no more than promote this Commission it would have justified its existence. The Central Welsh Board's honours cer- tificate list, published this week, will be perused with particular interest by North Walians. It reveals the fact that North Wales scholars held a decided advantage in the examinations. A correspondent points out that in spite of the disproportion in population, nearly half the successful candidates are from North Wales schools. This advantage becomes more pronounced when the quality of the work is taken into consideration. The first four on the list are from North Wales, which also claims 12 out of the first 16 and 30 out of the first 50, the proportion of North Wales scholars diminishing towards the end of the list. The counties of Carnarvon, Denbigh and Meri- oneth, each with a nearly equal number of successes, are credited with 75 per cent. of the successful North Wales candidates, the remaining 25 per cent. being shared be. tween the counties of Flint, Montgomery, and Anglesey, also with a nearly equal number of passes. Out of the first twenty, Denbighshire claims six, Glamorganshire five, Carnarvonshire and Merionethshire three each, Monmouthshire, Cardigan- shire, and Flintshire one each. A remark- able fact is that only five candidates were successful in Scripture, four being- from one school; and of the 33 who passed in Welsh no fewer than 30 were from North Wales schools. South of Aberystwvth only one candidate was successful 'in Welsh." # # # The Rhyl Urban District Council have experienced considerable difficulty and ex- pended large sums of money in combatting with the sand drifts on the sea front. Thev have now decided upon a bold scheme which it is contemplated will result in a consider- able improvement. It is proposed to extend the West Promenade with a view to pre- venting the accumulation cf sand. This will cost, it is estimated, about ^3,000, and if the experiment proves successful the ex- penditure will be justified. This is one of the most important matters to which the Council could direct their attention, for un- doubtedly the drifting has been a decided inconvenience in more ways than one. Moreover, the Council now pay a sum equivalent to a two-penny rate for removing the sand from the Parade, and, still there was every prospect of the task of removal becoming greater each year. Again, the extension of the Promenade would greatly improve the general appearance of the sea frontage. It was also suggested that the Marine Drive be continued westward as far as the Pier, and that a Pavilion be con- structed on the West Parade. These are also very desirable improvements, but they would, no doubt, involve a large outlay, and care should be taken not to endangc-" the success of one urgent undertaking by "overloading the scheme," as one member expressed it. The Council's venture into the entertainment-providing field will be watched with interest in neitrhbourinsr health resorts. « » There was a time when the peace and tranquility of Llanrwst was often ruthless- ly disturbed, when the fairs held in the town were the rendezvous of prize- tighters, cock-fighters, and exponents ot similar "arts" for many miles around. Recent years, however, have been marked with a very different history, but, if the assertion made at the County Police Committee, on Friday, is borne out, the future has in store a none too pleasing prospect. Mr Jelf Petit, one of the local justices, in supporting a request for ad- ditional police at Llanrwst, made some strong remarks about the present state of things. In his opinion the Llanrwst dis- trict was becoming the "dumping ground" for persons whom the community would prefer to be without. In whatever part of the country large works necessitating the employment of unskilled labour are started there generally follows a consider- able influx of people, many of whom are strangers to the conventionalities of life. Under such circumstances it is a necessary and prudent course to strengthen the local police force in order to maintain order and quietness. < < Good men who work for the public weal have to do so without reward, and some- times are compelled to pay a penalty Mr W. S. de Winton went with Mr Griffith Boscawen to a Church Defence meeting at Seven Oaks, and at the close a worthy colonel was put up to second a vote of thanks to Mr de Winton. Doubtlessly mean- ing it as a compliment, the colonel quoted "Taffy was a Welshman, Taffy was a thief," though he scarcely succeeded in making it look like a compliment. Any- how, when Mr de Winton went to the ante- room he found that his umbrella had Leen taken and none left in its place. Then, again, there is the Rev. Eynon Lewis, who worked like a Trojan to bring all Noncon- formist Wales to a convention in Cardiff. Mr Lloyd George captured the convention, and somebody else captured and carried away Mr Lewis's new guinea umbrella, so he went home with his faith in men shat- tered to atoms. < A few weeks ago we referred in this column to the desirability of supplementing the Colwyn Bay police staff, so that an officer could be permanently stationed at Rhos-on-Sea. A requisition advocating the same course, signed by six justices act- ing for the local petty sessional division, was read at the Denbighshire Police Com- mittee meeting on Friday, but the Commit- tee deferred their decision nending the com- pletion of the new police buildings at Colwyn Bay. There may be good reasons for this. In any case it is to be hoped that the question will not be lost sight of. Mr Edward Roberts objected to the requisition on the ground that "industrial centres Jike Brymbo and Broughton, with populations of over 5,000 each, had only one officer each." This was presumably a reply to the argument of the Chief Constable, who, in supporting the request, remarked that Rhos had a population of 895. Mr Roberts obviously overlooked the fact that the Chief Constable's figures applied only to the nor- mal population of the place. During the summer months the population is three, if not four, times as large. Apart from pres- sing forward this reasonable request, we hope the local representatives will urge the appointment of a police inspector in charge of the Colwyn Bay district. In reference to an account of the wreck of the "Royal Charter" at Moelfre. on the coast of Anglesey, in 1859, the Birmingham "Mail" pubishes a letter from Mr A. Daniels, of Wordsworth Road, Birming- ham. He says that the man who swam ashore with a rope from the ill-fated vessel, and was the means of fifty lives being saved, was his father, the late Warrant- officer Daniels, who was then a youth of nineteen years, and was returning homd after a voyage to Australia. Mr Daniels senior, says his son, frequently related the story of the wreck, and never failed, when in the vicinity, to re-visit the scene of the disaster, to which his son sometimes accom- panied him. Mr Daniels' Iftter is very in- teresting, showing as it does how Birming- ham seems to gather together men from all parts of the country who have been associated with great events. The pride Mr Daniels feels in his father's feat in swimming ashore at Moelfre is easily understood by anyone who has visited the scene of the wreck, and seen the fierccness of the sea there in rough weather.
