I LESSONS OF THE OLD YEAR. THE year]914 will be memor- able for all time as that in which the Great European War began, and in bidding good-bye to it all will hope that the New Year will see the end of the calamity which has fallen upon Europe. Apart from the war, the year has not been a happy one. Disasters on land and sea, and much public unrest have made 1914 a year of trial for Great Britain. There are but few people who will have a good word for the Old Year. But the year has shown us things which are good as well as those which are evil. In fact, much that is good has come out of the evil. One of the happier lessons of 1914 is that the greatness of a nation does not depend upon its size. Belgium has shown to all the world how great a soul can live in a little body. • It would have been easy for Belgium to give way before the might of Germany, but she chose the- more honourable course. There was no hesitation in her choice, and shefought-ánd con- tinues to fight in the cause of Tiberty with a valorous deter- ruination. France and Russia, too, have forgotten internal squabbles, and have stood forth united nations, armed with a staunch determina- tion to fight to the last against the tyranny of Prussian mili- tarism. II The year JflU. has also brought the re-awakening of the soul of Britain. Love of ease and amusement were said to be grow- ing upon the nation, stifling the filler spirit by which our fathers made the name and fame of Eng- laud. In the presence of a great crises the nation now shows its true worth. Britons have proved that they are neither decadent nor selfish. There is an end to all divisions of class and creed or colour.Whfte, brown or black, English, Scottish, Irish or Welsh—all have come forward to offer service to King and country. Politics and party are forgotten, and the nation is united for the greatest struggle in its history. The resources of Great Britain are being put now to a test greater than any test of the past. We are fighting not only for our own freedom but for the freedom of Europe, and the whole nation rejoices in the latent energies which have been brought to the surface. British men and women have shown again the unconquer- able spirit of their forefathers. Thus having discovered our- selves, we should not he alto- gether ungratefal to the Old Year which has helped us to that discovery. It has brought to us the blessing of confidence in the manhood and womanhood of the British race. We enter the New Year with the assurance that, whatever may befal, our hearts are equal to any fate save utter defeat. That we do not expect, for our strength of purpose is sufficient to carry us to the victory for which we hope in the New Year.

1915.
1915. With a heart full of sorrow and sad- ness—yet not without hope and a deep feeling of gratitude—we wish our readers and supporters as much joy and happiness as can reasonably be expected under the piesent circumstances. We beg to tender our best thanks to all who have patronised our printing estab- lishment during the past year. It has always been, and it will continue to be our honest endeavour, through the medium of the Advertiser to give an impartial report of the proceedings of the local public bodies, and to open our columns for' the free discussion of topics that are of interest to the town. One stipulation only. We enjoin on our correspondents, and that is that personalities should be excluded from their correspondence. It is intended this year, by means of the Advertiser, to give special promi- nence to the doings of our young men, who have, courageously joined the colours, in defence of their King and Country. We make a special appeal to our youngfriends, in whatever part of the world they may be, to send us for publication, an account of any incident, or any deed of gallantry with which they may be directly or indirectly con- nected. We assure them that any news of the kind would be read with the greatest pleasure by their friends at home. Apart from the war, a large number of Barmouth young people are holding important positions in every quarter of the globe—to them also we send kind greetings, and the assurance that any communication from them, descriptive of their experience and sr. roundings, would be a very welcome contribution to the columns of the Advertiser. We heartily wish that this—the most momentous year in the history of the I world, will end in national place, and bring much comfort and renewed pros- perity to our little town and our readers whcrcever tbey may bu.
