I At the Police Court on Tuesday a rent col. • lector, on behalf of a client, asked for an ejectment order against a woman who, he said. owed £ 0 on account of rent.

Her daughter paid the rent as a rule. After some explanations by the agent and tby Mr Horatio Jones, who appeared for the owner, the Clerk CMr H. C. Vincent) advised the Bench to grant the order but to refuso a warrant when one was applied for unless good cause was shown for issuing it.

I With fall military honours, the funeral took place on Wednesday of Lance-Corporal Maurice Ward, Cth Battalion Royal Welsh Fusiliers, youngest son of Mr and Mrs J. Ward, Eustoa-road, Bangor. The deceased, who was 21 years of age, joined the 6th Battalion R.W.F. some time before the declaration of war, and was latter- ly stationed at Cambridge. He was taken ill last week, and was removed to a hospital In Cambridge. His mother and sister, on hear- iug that he was ill, proceeded to Cambridge on Saturday, but he died before their arrival. His illness he bore with soldier-like fortitude, and his death cast a gloom over his company, among whom he was very popular. His officers spoke in high terms of his work and had singled him out for promotion. Before the body was removed from Cambridge the mili. tary authorities conducted a brief service there. The funeral was of a very impressive char- acter and testified to the esteem in which the deceased wa3 held particularly by his fellow-workmen in the Permanent Railway Department of the London and North Western Railway Co. and by the officers and boys of the Railway Institute Brigade, of which he was a member when the corps was formed. The cortege was headed by a firing party from the 11th Service Battalion of the South Lanca. shire Regiment, now stationed in Bangor. Then came the band of the training ship "Clio," who played Handel's "Dead March." They were fallowed by a gun carriage on which reposed the coffin covered with a Union Jack. A number of fellow-workmen of the deceased from the Permanent Way Depart- ment, which was closed for the afternoon, acted as bearers. In the funeral procession were also the Railway Institute Boys' Brigade in charge of Capt. Perkins, a number of friends of the deceased from the 6th Battalion R.W.F., who came over from Cambridge specially to pay their last tribute of respect, the band of the 11th Service Battalion of the South Lancashire Regiment, and a detach, ment of the National Reserve from Menai Bridge. The chief mourners were Mr and Mrs J. Ward (father and mother). Rev. R. Ward, curate of Barmouth, and -Mr J. Ward (brothers), and Miss Cassie Ward (sister), with other relatives. Major Whiskin was in charge of the military arrpjagements. The Rev. T. Lewis Jones, vicar of St. David's Church, officiated, and the choir of the church attended and sang the hymns "How bright those glorious spirits shine" and "0 fryniau Caersalem." The "Nunc Dimittis" was also suiior to a chant composed by the Rev. T. Lewis Jones. At the conclusion of the service a party of the South Lancashires fired a volley over the grave. Numerous wreaths were sent, including a magnificent one from the Institute Boys' Brigade, which I rested on the coffin, and from the officers and men of the deceased's company at Cambridge. MR WM.

MENAI BRIDGE. I BILLETING OF TROOPS. I The Clerk to the Council received two com- munications last week-end from the military authorities to the effect that they were anxious to billet a considerable number of troops at Menai Bridge, being the overflow of an additional battalion intended for Bangor. On Monday a military representative inter- viewed the following: the chairman of the Council, medical officer of health, the clerk to the Council, Inspector IVilliaitis and Mr Bidder. Although the billeting survey of the town had to be carried out at short notice, a minimum accommodation for 600 men was promised. It now appears that Bangor failed to billet their share of the battalion, and in conse- quence the only possibility of Menai Bridge securing troops was that they could quarter the entire battalion of 1300, which, however, is clearly beyond the available accommodation of the place. Considerable disappointment has been felt in the town.

GOING TO WIN. I SIR HENRY JONES' CONFIDENT I MESSAGE. Writing to a friend. Sir Henry Jones says:— "We're going to win I but it will oost our putting into the field every fighting man, and every ounce of our power. We'll do it too! The behaviour of the country is as magnificent as its cause, and our cause is our homes, our women, our bairns, and ail that their life oa.n mean to them and to us. Were the Germans to be allowed to win, the atrocities of the war would be in horror and in scale beyond anything bhat the tronbLed history of ankind can show. I am pgtlv con?dent of the issue, but my con&denoe in the iasue rests on my confidence in our people; and that has to be my oon fidenoe m oue Pee justified week bj week in constant inflow.-

BANGOR AMUSEMENTS THE COUNTY THEATRE. Pictures with exceptionally strong drama- tic touche.s arc shown this week at the County Theatre. On Monday, Tuesday and Wednes- day evenings the programme included a Solax production eutiUed "The Sewer," depicting the nerve-racking experiences of a kind- hearted gentleman, fallen among thieves, who makes his escape from an underground cell through a sewer. A story of Revolu- tionary dealings in high court life was un- folded in a Cines pictare, "Plot and Counter Plot." The role of Duchess Hesperia was cleverly enacted by a clever tragedienne, while the scenery of the photo-play was superb in every detail. Other dramatic films worthy of special mention were "Tim Maloney," "Vail Bibber's Experiment," and '1 The h,,iriotir of "A Temporary Truce." The humour of -"Wanted, a Baby," was of the most enjoy- able type, and the "Picturesque Pyrenees" also proved an attractive scenic study. The variety turn supplied by Miss Fiorina Cody and her human target, in a shooting exhibition, is one of exceptional interest, particularly nowadays. The accuracy of her aim ia simply wonderful. Shooting at lighted candles placed at the rear of the stage while she stands in the circle balcony and shooting a pipe from a man's mouth, are among- the features of her capital performance. Each evening a shooting competition is held, members of the audience being invited to compete. On Saturday night the final will be decided, when three prizes will be awarded. The pictures shown to-night and to-morrow are: "A Head for a Head," "Zigati Drives a Locomotive," "The Smouldering Spark," "Dorothy's Bandit," Soldiers Three," "River Scenes in Normandy," "A Real Estate Deal," "The Haunted Castle." PLAYS NEXT WEEK. Next week, on Monday, Tuesday and Wed- nesday. Miss Winifred Maude's company pre- sent "Love and the Woman," and the three latter nights of the week, the same company give A Mormon and a Maid." The time of commencing the performances has been altered from 8.4-5 to 7.15. This will enable the soldiers now billeted at Bangor to attend and be in their billets at the regula- tion time.

I THE PICTUREDROME. Tire week opened ii-ih tho "Redemption of David Corson," toldi in a film of 5000 feet on Monday. This is tho work of The Famous Play- ers' Company, of America, and quite maintains their rt'putation. Along with it were sliovyn, "II ouse of Distemperley, a Pimple comedy; and "Revonigo of Gold," a thrilling story of Colonial life. The chief picture on Tuesday and Wednes- day was, "The False Wirele-s," and the pro- gramme inci'iid ed' a coloured film depicting the wild birds of Scot-laud. To-night the place of honour goes to "Detectiv-- Craig's Coup, which is 5000 feet long, ard every foot tells a story. There will al so be shown "In the glare of the footights"' and other drama3.
