I GWERSYLLT SOLDIER DIES LOF WOUNDS. f BURIED IN FRANCE. I SYMPATHETIC LETTERS. Much has been written regarding the valian conduct of the Royal Welsh Fusiliers in th severe fighting that occurred on Sunday, May 16th. As was only to be expected, local men are among the victims. On Thursday last the official" killed in action communication was received from the War Offic e" by Mr. and Mrs. David Evans, Lower Farm, Gwersyllt, informing them of the death, on June 1st, at the British General Hospital, Wimeraux, Pres, Boulogne, of their son, Pte. Samuel Evans, 4118, of the 3rd Batt. R.W.F. Our readers will recollect that in the letter from Private Llewelyn Edwards, Bradley published in last week, Pte. Evans was mention- ed as one af those who had beeh in the great fight on May 16th. Unfortunately his wounds were of such a serious nature that he sucumbed as stated. Pte. Evans, who would have been 26 years of age on July 27th this year, was the third son of a large family, and the sincerest sympathy is ex- pressed in the district with the bereaved re- latives. He was an army reservist, who was widely known and much esteemed by a wide circle of friends. Although the War Office communication was not received until Thuasday last, the relatives were informed of the sad occurrence last week. In a letter dated June 1st, to Mrs. Evans D. Grey, Matron, writing from the hospital, states- 41 know you have had letters from your son or from the chaplain telling you that he was a patient in this hospital, seriously wounded. I am very sorry I have to write to you now the very sad news that suddenly, to-day, he passed quietly away, slmost without any waraing. His condi- tion was not worse, but rather, the doctor thought' a little better, and had only this morning been considering how soon he might be moved to England. So his death was Unexpected and was due to sudden heart failure.. I know what a blow his death will be to you all. You can only feel that with so many others, he has bravely given his life for his country. He will be buried in the little cemetery here at the side of his brave comrades. His ring, pay book, and a few small treasures will be sent to you. You will be glad to know how happy he was here. His bed was taken into the garden so that he could enjoy the air, and he had everything possible to help him to get well. To Mr. Evans, The Rev C. H. Hodgson, Chaplain at the hospital, wrote on June the 2nd I am very sorry to have to write and tell you that your son passed away peacefully yesterday. About a week ago it was necessary to take off his left foot, but he ask me particularly not to tell you this at the time as he was afraid the news would upset his mother. He appeared to be go- ing on well, but yesterday he passed quietly away about mid-day. He was quite unconscious at the last. Here he had every attention and we had, great hopes of his recovery and getting hence, but now he has gone to his great Home above. My sincerst sympathy is with you and his mother in your sorrow. To-day he was reverently laid to., rest in a little cemetery at Wimereux."

CHILD LABOUR FOR PICKINGI…
CHILD LABOUR FOR PICKING I STRAWBERRIES. I The fruit farmers of Holt andildistriet, Inear Wrexham, have been deeply concerned for some time as to how the difficulties arising from the shortage of labour were to be overcome during the approaching strawberry season. With a view to finding a solution of the the problem Messrs. Bellis, who are the largest growers, have sought the assistance of the Wrexham Education Com- mittee. In their letter to the Committee, Messrs. Bellis stated that they would be greatly helped if they (the Committee) could arrange for about 150 boys of a minimum age of 14 to remain from school for the purpose of picking sfcawberriesjfat their Marchwiel farm, three miles from Wrexham. The picking would commecee on the 21st inst., and they would be prepared to arrange special trains to bring the boys to from the fields and would pay their fares. The wages would be from Is. 6d..to 2s. per boy according to the amount of work done. A special meeting of the education authority has bean held to consider the matter, and during the discussion it was stated that a large number of the ususal pickers were reservists now with the colours, and that their wives and children who invariably accompanied them to the straw, berry fields, were now provided for by the State. To avoid the possibility of Association with un- desirable strangers, Messrs. Bellis further said they were pepared to guarantee that they would employ local labour only at the farm of which ti e boys would be put to work. Girl labour, it was also announced, would be excepted provided the girls were accompanied by female teachers. » 1
IEXCUSES FOR REMAINING AT…
EXCUSES FOR REMAINING AT I HOME. RE CRT) TING APPEAL AT ABERYSTWYTH. I The Mayor of Aberystwyth issued an appeal to all men in the town between the ages of 19 and 40 voluntarily to enlist for service in the army, and invited to fill in a form with the "Yes if will- ing and with No if unwilling. On Wednesday a meeting of the local recruiting committee was held to receive the replies to the appeal. Mr. Hugh Hughes, solicitor, stated that out of 551 forma sent out only 102 had been returned. The replies were gone through separately, and it was found that 24 had been signed "Yes" and 39 No while 37 had stated they were medi- cally unfit, over age, etc., and two papers were returned unfilled. Amongst the replies received were the follow- ing:—"Yes, when all siogle men have gone"; Yes, when the Government compels me"; Not in a position to answer at present" Yes, on certain conditions "I am in charge of a business that cannot be I ft' "Not willing to enlist, because I believe in the commandment, Thou shalt not kill. Mr. T. W. Powell said it was a sad state of things that out of 500 eligible men only 100 had condescended to reply. Mr. David Ellis: You must remember that 500 have already gone from Aberystwyth. Mr. J. R. Griffiths said he knew of several young men who were anxious to join the army but were prevented by domestic, business, and other cir- cumstances, from doing so.
IWELSH MEMBERS' MEETING.
WELSH MEMBERS' MEETING. MR. ELLI) GRIFFITH AND MR. LLEWELYN WILLIAMS. Sir Herbert Roberts, M.P., presided at a meet- ing of the Welsh Parliamentary party held at the House of Commons on Friday. It was agreed, on the motion of Mr. Edgar Jones, seconded by Mr. E. T. John, to express high appreciation of the work done by Lord Haldane while at the War Office and gratitude to him for the interest he had taken in Welsh education and the great as- sistance he had rendered the cause of education in Wales. The question of the position, of the Welsh Church Act came up, and also that raised by a letter from Mr. E. T. John to the Chairman against national service. It was decided, however, to pospone discussion on the political situation and the matters referred to until it was seen how things developed. 0 Mr. Liew. Williams called attention to state- ment of Mr. Ellis Davies to the effect that the Home Secretary had informed him that he had acquainted Mr. Williams with the proposals of the Welsh Churoh Postponment Bill. Mr. Ll. Williams denied that any such statement was made to him by Mr. McKenna, and the meeting accepted his statement. Mr. Ellis Davies said he had nothing to do but with Mr. McKenna's stanment, whether correct or otherwise. »
LLANGOLLEN, HAS ITS ANSWER.I
LLANGOLLEN, HAS ITS ANSWER. Llangollen has its answer now. There was a doubt once as to whether the cures, about which Llangollen residents spoke so heartily, were last- ing cures. Did the people stay well ? That was the great question. And here is the answer, cured to stay cured, given in the words of a Llangollen resident. On July 26th, 1912, Mr. M. Wood, of 6, Mill Street, Llangollen, says I have a lot of sitting to do at my work as a tailor, and this comes hardly on the back. Occasionally, I have had tonohes of kidney complaint, and then I suffered with dull, heavy pains across the lower part of my back, particularly in the mornings. The urinary system was disordered now and again. I had heard a good deal about Doan's backache kidney pills, so I thought I could not do better than try them. I am pleased to say I derived great benefit from thesa pills. They took effect from the first, and a short course of them quite cured me. I enjoy good health now, and shall always be pleased to recommend Doan's pills.— (Signed) M. WOOD." On December 4th, 1914-0VER TWO YEARS LATgR-Mr. Wood,said: I think there are no pills like Doan's for relieving backache and kidney troubles. I proved their worth, and always recommend them." When the kidneys are ill the whole body is being slowly poisoned. That is why kidney com- plaint is so serious, and why *it so often ends fatally. Doan's backache kidney pills cleanse and gently heal the kidneys, and so arrest the cause of kidney trouble, backache, rheumatism, dropsy, urinary disorders, gravel, languor, weak- ness and unnatural drowsiness. Price 2/9 a box, 6 boxes 13/9, of all dealers, or from Foster-McClellan Co., 8, Wells-street, Oxford-street, London, W. Don't ask for back- ache or kidney pills,—ask distinctly for Doan's backache kidney pills, the same as Mr. Wood had. 2
