Roberts. C.P., secretary, and other officers of the Lodge. There was a large congregation in the church, including a number of the relatives of the fallen. The organist (Mr E. W. Baker, F.R.C.O.) played as an opening voluntary Chopin's Fureral March. The service was con- ducted by the Rev. H. J. Church Jones, M.A., R.D., and the Rev. D. Saunders- Jones, M.A., R.D., rector of Cantref and Chaplain to the Lodge, gave the address. After the opening sentences, Psalm 121 was chanted, and following the Lesson, taken from Revs. xxi. the choir, un- accompanied, sang with fine effect Sullivan's beautiful anthem "Yea, though I walk." Before the address the hymn There is a land of pure delight" was sung. THE AI>DKESS. The Rev. D. Saunders-Jones remarked that we were passing through a time of almost world-wide bereavement. There was scarcely a household in our great Empire in which there was not the empty chair and the portrait of some strong young face that would be seen no more, and a name on the Roll of Honour. At such a time they did not want to preach sermons but to say words of comfort and cheer to each other, to soothe and bless each other. Let those who knew the sorrow or the pang-and which of them did not ?—comfort each other with two simple thoughts. First, let them remember that, after all, death was the common lot, and sooner or later the pain of separation must be suffered. To each one death was but the entrance into I a newer, fuller life. The sadness was not death but the incompleteness anclun- satisfactoriness of our lives. Secondly, let them think of those who had laid down their lives for their country and the greatness to which they had attained. As they read the lists of the fallen they felt themselves in the presence of heroes as great and as mighty as ever lived in the classic days of long ago—as noble and as grand as ever drew sword on behalf of liberty and truth. It had been a wonder- ful experience of which poets would sing and historians write as long as the world endured. They had lived to see a great- ness in their splendid boys of which they had but little conception, but of which they were justly proud. To those who mourned the loss of loved ones the com- fort must come, that they had passed into I the company of those great heroes who counted not their lives too dear, but at the call of duty sacrificed all for the sake of their country, the good of mankind, and the cause of true liberty. It was with their pain and blood they won the final victory and bought the Peace. What sort of a peace would it be ? Would it be such as they knew a few short years ago ? A peace given up to maney-making, money-worshiping and money squander- ing a peace in which scheming politicians played for their own hand and their own purse ? Would it be a peace of bickering sects and warring classes in which man was often despised and God too often forgotten ? A peace of selfish luxury side by side with cruel penury ? God forbid! If it were, the sacrifice would have been in vain. They trusted that the world would use well its blessing of peace, and would build thereon a new City of Right- eouslless-acommonwealth of God. That j would, indeed, be a worthy thank-offering to the dead, in proud and glorious and imperishable memory of their high courage, noble endeavour and great .¡: sacrifice. During the singing of the hymn Through the night of doubt and sorrow," an offertory was taken on behalf of the R.A.O.B. Orphanage. Or THE FALLEN.

']■ LLAH601SE BOATING ntM I; I FATALITY. Thrilling breriea at the j Inquest. Twcv Willie^?.? Common clod for Bravery. f The Coroner for North Breconshire (Mr M. F. Thomas) hold an inquest at the Police-Station, Talgarth, on the I I ti,, inst., as to the death of E\a Mary Jones, 's s, daughter of Mr and Mrs of the Isolation Hospital, Talgarth, who was mohneu wuen Loaiin& oa Liangorse Lake on Whit-Monday. Mr D. Evans (Stores) was foreman of the jury. The father gave evidence of identifica- tion. and stated that deceased left home i at 1-30 p.m. on Monday with a Miss Stephens, with the intention, of going to II Llangorse. Called on the 'phone at 7 p.m.. witness motor cycled to the lake, arriving at the landing stage at about 7-30. Nothing had then been done to recover the body and no one seemed to recover the body and no one seemed to know anything. The only information he obtained was as to the place where the accident happened, dtid some people brought a hat, which he identified as his daughter's. Witness went to the "Red Lion to see if anything could be done. He also saw Miss Stephens, and asked if a report had been made to the Police, and the reply was ;\0." Finding that the nearest Police Station was at Llan- fihangel Talyllyn. witness went there and reported the matter to the constable, who 'phoned to headqrarters at Brecon. Witness and the policeman returned to the lake, and a boatman took them out in a boat, and efforts were made until 10-30 p.m. to recover the body, but without success. Arrangements were then made with Deputy Chief Constable S. Jones to have dragging appliances brought down on Tuesday morning. Witness went y Z!1 to the lake again next morning, accompanied by Mr Charles Jones, of Talgarth, and the body was recovered about 10 o'clock. By the Foreman The water was 12 to 13 feet deep at the spot. Witness at the close of his evidence urged the necessity of providing life saving appliances at the lake. Walter Evans, of S. John's road, Brecon, clerk at the Land Valuation Office, said he went to Talyllyn on Whit- Monday by the 2-5 p.m. train, accom- panied by Mr W. Tudor. They had been up the Beacons the previous day, „nr1 l, 1 «.■ iiiiU Lint; lUtciiiuvjii quietly. They ultimately went to the lake, and at the landing stage saw deceased and Miss Stephens, and were introduced to them by two Brecon friends. Deceased, Miss Stephens, and Miss Rose Williams. Llangorse, wanted to go on the lake, and witness and Mr Tudor arranged to take them. They could not have a boat to hold five, so Mr Tudor and Miss Stephens and Miss Williams went in one boat and witness and deceased weui, out in a iwo-seater." Witness rowed, and deceased sat on the stern seat facing him. Crossing the lake, they intended to land on the bank by Cathedine, but the place they tried was too shallow. Meanwhile Mr Tudor and his companions had landed on the bank about 150 yards away. Witness pulled riff with the intention of joining them, and as they were 'going a small wave caught the boat broadside and some water came into the boat and wetted deceased's jersey and witness's trousers. Miss Jones wrung her jersey. Mr Tudor shouted Come to land," but in ieply to witness's questions deceased expressed a wish not to land, as she was rather damp and was afraid of catching cold, and pre- ferred to go back to the landing stage. They started to row back, and in the shallow water deceased changed her position, going to the bow seat, which was higher. Presently he heard deceased scream and stopped rowing, and saw about three inches of water in the boat. He bagan baling it out with his* straw hat, dropping an oar, and remarked that it might have come over the top of the boat but deceased became frightened and screamed for help. She stood up and caused the boat to tilt on one side, and as he could see there was no hope of righting it witness called for help. The boat was now sinking fast, and seeing someone some distance away he waved an oar, but had no response. He then shouted to Mr Tudor, who was on the shore making his way back to the landing stage At this moment the boat cap- sized, and as they fell into the water witness caught deceased round the waist. He also tried to get hold of the boat, but failed, and then struck out for the land. Deceased's weight gradually got Vifioviov .nil ft¡: lip Visrl simm <10 'ri1¡; they both went down, whilst deceased was struggling. They were separated under the water, and deceased came up about five or six yards away from him. He tried to get hold of her twice, but failed. He succeeded at the third attempt, but they both went down again, and the deceased finally disappeared. Witness was absolutely exhausted, and his clothes were getting tighter on him but he tried to get to land and reaching some rushes thought he could stand, but the water was too deep. He had swum about 50 yards altogether. He shouted to Tudor, who threw off his coat and jumped in and swam to witness and took hold of him. Witness said I have lost the girl," but Tudor was himself ex- hausted. He succeeded in getting witness to land, however. Miss Stephens and Miss Williams in the meantime had gone for help. Tudor and witness went to the Red Lion," and told two gentle- men staying there what had happened, I and they were given every necessary I attention. By Mr J. J. Pagh The boai W,tS perfectly dry when they went out. I By another juror: TLsre were other boats on the lake, but most of them were | making for home, as the water was very | rough and like a sea. | William Alan Tttdoi-, fitter and turner, of- Kig-i streut, i>recr,n. r.frer living j evidence as to the start of the boating j trip similar to that given by the last witness, except that he knew Miss Jones previously, stated that as his boat was | g-3i)g down tlio lake Miss Williams said she would like to row and he handed her j the oars. Then U became rough and she ;rot rather frightened and witness took I the oars again. The e waves started to come die side of the boat a little and witness thought it was not safe to go back to the landing stage and decided I to pull for the shore and walk back. It was so rough he decided not to risk it and he pulled to the side and got out. He called to Evans, who was higher up He called to Evans, who was higher up the lake. You had better pull in here and walk back as it would not be safe to row back." Evans apparently misunder- stood him and replied We are going back to the landing stage." Witness thereupon told Evans he would go over I the fields and meet him, and with his ¡ companions started walking back. They I had gone over one field when he heard a scream, and immediately ran to the side of the lake. Evans was shouting for help and both he and deceased were I standing in the boat, about 150 to 200 yards away. Witness could see that the boat was capsizing, pulled off his coat, jumped into the lake and made for them. He had to swim round some rushes and was delayed by being entangled in weeds. He heard another call from Evatis "I have lost her and when about 50 yards off shouted to him to stick to Miss Jones if he could and he would be with him in a minute but when he reached him Miss Jones had disappeared. By this time Evans was in an exhausted con- dition. Witness hit him across the face two or three times to bring him to his senses and got him to land. Charles Jones, Talgarth, described how he went to the lake on Monday evening and took part in a three hours' search. They dragged until it was dark and began again the next morning, finding the body at 10.30. The depth-of the water at the spot where the body was found was about 8 feet and it was about 1 100 yards from the edge of the rushes. ] John Price, Fair View. Llangorse, boat proprietor, told the Court that the boat deceased and the witness Evans had was an outrigger 17ft. Gin. long, 3ft. 3in. in beam and 1ft. 3in. deep. It was in good condition. He thought it would be perfectly safe to let them- have it, and did not ask them if they could row. The boat could carry four, but generally carried three. The lady was sitting in the bow instead of the stern or the accident would not have happened. Witness found two holes in the bottom of the boat, about 1 inch wide by 2 or 3 inches 1ml! side bv 81111", pfob^blv (1"0 to its having come in contact with poles used for fishing purposes. Evans, recalled, said the boat did not touch anything, not even in the shallow water. In summing up the Coroner remarked that the deceased was sitting at the wrong end of the boat, and the lake being rough at the time made this all the more dangerous. The boat was also too shallow. f The jury found that the deceased was accidentally drowned, and commended the witness Evans for making an ex- cellent effort to save her and the witness Tudor for his praiseworthy conduct in jumping into the lake to Evans's assist- ance. They asked that the conduct of both young men should be brought to the notice of the Royal Humane Society. They further suggested that boats used on Llangorse Lake should carry life belts, according to the number of pas- sengers on board, and expressed their sympathy with the parents of the deceased.
Cost of Printing.
Cost of Printing. Recently an advance in wages has been paid in all printing offices in London in all departments. It has been ascertained by the Costing -Committee of the London Master Printers' Association that, taking this advance into considera- tion, together with the reduction in working hours to 48 per week and payment for Bank Holidays and a week's holiday in the summer, which was recently agreed to, the cost of printing has advanced by 12i per cent. The total increase in the cost of printing, apart from paper, ink, etc., is found to be 130 to 140 per cent. above pre-war costs. We may add that we know this estimate is a moderate one, from our own experience.

BBiLTH mmi
BBiLTH mmi The Widening Project. Another Conference on the Spot. On Monday afternoon representatives of the Breconshire and Radnorshire County Councils attended at the Police Station, Builth Wells, to discuss with the members of the Builth Wells Urban District Council, the question of widening the main road bridge over the Wye. The Breconshire representatives were Messrs. David Powell (chairman of the Main Roads Committee), H. F. W. Harries (clerk to the County Council), and C. W. Best (county surveyor). Radnorshire County Council sent Major J. M. Gibson Watt, Messrs. T. Davies. H. Vaughan Vaughan (clerk), and T. L. Whislade (county sur- veyor). The Builth Wells Urban District Council was represented by Messrs. Gilbert Eadie (chairman), H. T. Prioe, D. F. H. Williams, T. R. Worthington, J. S. Davies, Reginald J. Owen (clerk), and Telfer Smith (surveyor). On the pro- position of Major Gibson Watt, seconded by Mr H. T. Price, Mr David Powell was voted to the chair. The Chairman reminded the meeting that on the 20th of January, 1918, they held a conference on this question, and Mr Best submitted an altered estimate. The question was then adjourned, with the view of the Conntv Surveyor ha vina I interview with the Road Board as to the possibility of their increasing their promised contribution of JE850. Mr Best said he went to the Road Board on the 20th February, and re- quested a larger contribution owing to the great increase in the price of material and labour, but the Board were not pre- pared to make a bigger grant than 25 per cent. of the total amount spent on the bridge. He could not hold out any hope cf having a larger grant tbm 25 e, cent. The chairman remarked that they would have to take the figures at 9850. Mr Best confirmed that he did not believe his estimate was too high, as the price of labour and material was going up. When he presented his estimate in January masons were paid at the rate of 1t- per hour, and now they were paid from 1/3 to 1/6 per hour. Iron girders in pre-war days cost X7 per ton and now they cost f21 per ton. The total amount of the January estimate was £3400. The chairman said that the expenditure was proposed to be made up as follows:— Grant from the RoadBoard £ 850,contribu- tion from the inhabitants of Builth Wells E400, contribution from the Radnorshire County Council £ 1075, and a similar sum from the Breconshire County Council. Mr Best said the difference in the estimate as between a concrete -bridge and a stone bridge was about f,400, but probably now it would be £ 800. The chairman remarked that he was very keen to have the new bridge, but under the circumstances he was doubtful whether the project would be carried out. Mr J. S. Davies asked if it were necessary that such a large amount of money should be spent. Was it not possible that a cheaper scheme could be drawn up ? The chairman thought a good bridge should be erected, and if they were not in a position to do it now. it would be better to wait five years or even more. Major Gibson Watt asked whether the bridge was safe for traffic and heavy loads. Mr Best replied that he considered it was quite safe except for very heavy loads. If they asked for his advice he should suggest them holding their hands for the present, as the price of material would come down. Major Gibson Watt said he should like to know what weight the bridge was supposed to hold, Mr Best in reply said it was supposed to hold 14 tons, but they could prevent very heavy loads passing over it. Mr Whislade said that by approaching the Road Controller they could get power to stop very heavy loads being taken over the bridge. Mr J. S. Davies pointed out that a very heavy tractor would shortly be brought into the district for the convey- ance of timber. The Chairman held that it was not necessary that the public should provide a bridge for that purpose. Mr Reginald J. Owen In case the conference decide to erect a new bridge are the County Councils prepared to contribute £ 1,075 each? The Chairman said the Breconshire County Council was prepared in January to contribute the amount mentioned and he wished to know if the Builth Wells Urban Council were prepared to contribute £ 400, as they had not yet promised to do so. Mr H. F. W. Harries said he had not received any promise of a contribution of £ 400 from the Builth Wells Urban Council but he had been informed by the Local Government Board that the Builth Wells Authority had made application for permission to borrow JE400 for that purpose. The Chairman said they could take it for granted that the Urban Authority was prepared to provide £400. Mr D. F. H. Williams said they were prepared to contribute JE400 providing they agreed to the plans. Mr Best said the £ 400 was for the erection of a concrete bridge. Mr D. F. H. Williams asked if there was any objection to the bridge being erected in stone, providing that the Builth Wells Council would contribute £ 1000. He could not see much reason that Builth shculd be called upon to make any contribution. Mr Best said that to make the bridge safe for traffic it would only be neces- sary for the two County Councils to spend f300 each. A bridge equally good from a utilitarian point of view could be provided for half the money proposed to be spent, as his object was to preserve the character of the old structure as far as possible. In his opinion it would be wise to postpone the matter for twelve months. Major Gibson Watt said that the amount first mentioned for the Radnor- shire Co—il £ 75n, and he felt if he took the figures mentioned that day back to the County Council they would be refused. Mr Best had told them that the bridge could be made safe for another 12 months, and he wished that there was a way of regulating the traffic and preventing more than one vehicle going oyer at a time. He felt that it was very dangerous to be on the road anywhere at present owing to the way in which some people drove. Cd die illdLÍJl1 01 the Chairman, seconded by Major Gibson Watt, it was agreed to postpone-the whole question for 12 months.
BRECON COMRADES.
BRECON COMRADES. Divisional Council for the County. Comrades of the Great War in Brecon- shire are looking forward with much interest to the formation of a Divisional Council with headquarters in the county town. Representatives of the various posts and branches will meet for this purpose before the end of the present month, and will then be asked to elect delegates to the Welsh National Grand Council, which will meet early in July, probably at Cardiff. Captain J. Arthur Jones, the South Wales Organiser of the Comrades, who has just completed a tour of the county, states that remarkable progress has been made throughout the Principality, and that no fewer than nine divisions will be represented at the first meeting of the Xational Council. The Comrades are well organised in Cardiff (where there are about 5,000 members), Glamorgan, Pembrokeshire, Radnorshire and Brecon- shire, and it is hoped that another division will be formed before the end of July. A determined effort is being made to secure unity, and early amalga- mation with another powerful body of discharged men is practically assured. During the short period of its exist- ence the Comrades' Association has established about 300 clubs and insti- tutes for the exclusive use of ex-service men.
