MORE STOCKHOLM.I
MORE STOCKHOLM. I It is, of course, only fair that we should say that the recent disclosures in regard to the com- plicity of Stockholm with German plots has no- thing whatever to do with the earlier proposals to hold an International Peace Conference in the Swedish Capital. But although there is no con- nection between the serious charges which arc now made against the Swedish Government and the pro-German plot to inveigle Labour represen- tatives from the Allied nations into a discussion on peace terms, the revelations of the last few days go far to show that Stockholm, at any rate, has not a very desirable atmosphere for the war aims of the Allies. Fortunately the good sense and patriotism of the overwhelming masses of the British Labour Party, especially in its most representative organisation, the- Trades Union Congress, never dallied for a moment with the insidious suggestions of the Pacifists and pro- Germans. But en-eit if the Stockholm Conference had-not been "lurned on its mcrits hy the good sense of our Labour leaders, the pre- judice which is inevitably created against Stock- holm by the charges which are now preferred by the Allies, and particularly by the United States, against the. Swedish Government in Stockholm, would have gone far to discredit the project; which was so unfortunately supported' by Mi- Arthur Hendcrson. Tho charge against the Stockholm Government is that it has been flag- rantly guilty of un neufral concluel, in the war by lending itself as piactically a branch of the In- telligence Deportment of the Germsn war machine. The Swedish Government has enjoyed all the priyilnges which the Allies can afford to a friendly Government in war time; and amongst these privileges, Stockholm has been allowed to make the most ample use of the telegraphic cables which are entirely under the Control of the Allied powers. Wc so far trusteJ Stockholm that wo allowed the Swedish Foreign Office to send and receive its messages in cipher, and we never sought to censor them- in any way. We did this notwithstanding that we had known as early as the Spring of 1915 that Stockholm had abused its privilege* to transmit information of value to the enemy. But the Swedish Government liad apologised for its lapse from its duty to us as a friendly nation, and had promised that thero should be no recurrence of this breach of neu- trality. Now, at length, Mr Lansing, the American Foreign Secretary, produces thiee cables which the Swedish representative in Buenos Aires is said to have despatched to his Government ;n Stockholm. The messages enjoyed immunity from censorship on the ground that they were supposed to be ordinary communications between the Swedish minister and the Swedish Govern- ment. As a matter of fact, however, the Swedish minister in ikienos Aires is said to have been the tool, at that end, of the German Charge d'Aft'aires in Argentina; while the Swedish Gov- ernment in Stockholm was the tool at the other c-nd of the German Government in Berlin. To all intents and purposes the messages were between Count Luxhurg, the German representa- tive in Buenos Aires, and his own Government in Germany. The messages were in a cipher which the American Intelligence Department has suc- cessfully de-coded. They contain information as to the soiling of ships and as to the way in which they were to be sunk by the German U boats. They show a callous indifference to the rights of the Ai gen tine Government with whom the Germans had only just "settled" their differ- ences in regard to the sinking of ships; and quite naturally they are hostile to the Allied nations. We are confident that Mr Lloyd George and his colleagues in the War Cabinet wiil know how to deal with Sweden in the cireumstanccs, and we may trust the Allied powers who control all the international cables to take the necessary steps to effectually isolate the Germanic powers for the future. We are not without hope, too, that the new revelations as to the perfidy of the Kaiser's Government will have their duo effect upon tho neutral rations of the world while at the same time hardening the determination of the Allied to go sternly on with the war until the vile plotters are brought to final ruin. What peace can we hope for from men who are, from day to day. proved guilty of violating all their undertakings—of breaking every promise they give? What compact can we have with men whose whole system and con duct is basr>d in dup- licity? Surely the moral once again is that "scraps of paper" will not give peace to the world so far as Germany is concerned. We shall have a real peace only by destroying the whole of the Prussian system.
ITHE CjJRCH IN WALES.
I THE CjJRCH IN WALES. The authoritative communication with re- feret ce to the future of iho Church in Wales which has just bfeii sent to the Press has i»een read with interest. For tho statement describes the steps which have provisionally been taken by Welsh Churchmen, under pressure of the pro- \i.sion of the Welsh Church Act, and it chows how these steps have become necessary in con- sequence -of tho failure of the Government; last Alay in response to Lord Selborne's Resolu- tion, which was carried in the rlousi of Lords, to give a pledge to postpone the date of Welsh Disestablishment until a year after the end of the war." In tho absence of such a pledge it has become necessary for the four Welsh Dioceses to lake definite nction based upon a suggested scheme for the formation of a Representative Body and a Governing Body of the Church in Walk's which would respectively have to make the financial and constitutional arrangements that would be required should the Welsh Church Act come into operation at the end of the war. For the put pose of considering this scheme tho four Welsh Diocesan Conferences have each elected 33 clerical and 66 lay delegates to form, with the four Welsh Diocesan Bishops, a Con- vention of the Church in Wales which is to meet at Cardiff on October 2nd 5th. Although we decline to believe that the pre- sent Government will bo less svmpathet-'e than Mr A squith's administration, which arlmittcd the just ice of postponing the date of Disestablish- ment and introduced, but failed to pass, a Bill for the purpose, we t-hmk that the leaders of the Church in Wales ha, e acted wisely in pro- viding against contingencies, though they make it very clear that the proposals to bo brought t before the Convention are entirely subject to the possible reconsideration of the Welsh Church Act, which Welsh Churchmen are resolved to press at the first opportunity upon which the question can be raised without prejudice to supremo national interests. This opportunity will, wo think, arrive when hostilities cease; a period which may, and probably wTil, be some months before the formal declaration of peace and the signatures to a treaty to that Effect. The Government have, by the mouth of Mr Bonar Law in tho House of Commons and Lord Crawford in tha House of Lords admitted the justice of the request made practically by the entire Church and supported by a numerous and an increasing body of Nonconformists for a re- consideration of the Welsh Church Act. For this purpose tho postponement of the date of Disestablishment is absolutely necessary. Though Churchmen must, for the present, be content to leave to the Government the decision as to tho exact period before the end of the war when they will give legisiative effect to their pro- fessed intentions, we hope and believe that no doubt need be felt-that tho Prime Minister, who strongly supported tho pievious postponement Bill, realises the importance of dealing WiOl this matter as coon as may be possible. Mean- while the prolongation of ths war is causing great and increasing difficulties, both financially and administrative, to tIA3 Church in Wales, and therefore no opportunity should be lost of spreading a sound 'knowledge of the facts among the people, especially in England, where it is to be feared much ignorance exists upon the sub- ject.
COUNTY & DISTRICT NOTES I
COUNTY & DISTRICT NOTES I The cause of the Church in Wales is not helped by such criticisms as those offered by Bishop Welldcn. He stated in a letter to the Press that the Convention of Welsh Churchmen at Cardiff in October might, he supposed, betaken "to mark the acceptance of Disestablishment and en-en cf Disendowment as inevit- able." He has been taken to task by a high authority of the Church in Wales, who has pointed out to hint privately, and asked him to stnto publicly, that the Church, so far from acquiescing in the Welsh Church Act, looks for- ward to its reconsideration. Bishop Welldon hai complicd wiih the request, but, with ill gcnce, adds, "it is dear that the substance of rny letter remains intact." It is not "clear" at all. Indeed, the substance of his letter shows that ho only very imperfectly understands the posi- tion. Tho Church in Wales has no option in the matter; it i" bound to bo ready with a new provisional constitution, or the most serious con- sequence might result. What has been made clear by those who really know is that the pro- ceedings at the Convention will be without pre- judice to any steps it may be necessary to take to secure reconsideration of the Act-such as the Government have pi-omi.,ed--zLrid ultimately its ropoal. It needs to be insisted upon that the country has not yet been consulted about tho Act; it was forced into law under the emer- gency of the outbreak of war, at a time when there was every sign that the measure, and th", Government responsible for it, were discredited in tho country. Churchmen, both of Waics and England, have been too patriotic to press their claim upon the country, but as soon as national interests allow the case against the Act will be fully stated. « » • Not since thai remarkable occasion, several years ago, when, mainly on the evidence of a journalist, Mrs Pankhurst was sentenced to a long term of imprisonment in connection with an attempt to blo w up Mr Lloyd George's house, lias there been so extraordinary a scene at the Old Bailey as that witnessed this week in Lon- don. The acquittal verdict in the Malcolm case was fully expected, though Sir John Simon's bold rejection, of unwritten law considerations was something of a surprise. From the first public sympathy has been on the side of Mal- colm, hut the ushers and police were scareely ready for so dramatic a demonstration. It was like a theatre first night when a tremendous hit has been made. Women and men clapped, stamped, shouted, cheered, and waved hand- kef chicis. One man at the extreme end of the judge's bench itself frantically waved a straw hat. Sir John Simon, who added another triumph to his record at the Bar, is reputed to be making more money than any other barrister in London at the moment. » There is a rev i val of discussion in political and astrological circles as to the probable dura- tion of the war. The other day Lord North- cliffe ventured to suggest that the war was only beginning, and Sir William Robeitson Nicoll is credited with the opinion that it must at least go on for another two years, having regard to the military situation in Russia. Not a few highly placed people, however, Sake a much more optimistic view, and a famous astrologer tells me that, astrologically speaking, October will be very critical for the Kaiser. Military students here attach much importance to Sir Douglas Ilaig's reference to the inability of the enemy to stand many such blows as the French recently deliver; d. Officers from the front de- clare that the weakening of the enemy is ex- tremely significant He is conserving his shells with an economy never known before. » • • ■ Although Mr Lloyd George is remaining in North Wales -for two or three days in order to i-pe,ul-)eilate from the chill he contracted during the week-end he is, of course, in constant tele- phonic touch with the headquarters of the Gov- ernment at No. 10, Downmg-street. Whether he is present or not, the Cabinet continues the practice of dafly sittings established hy the Prime Minister on his assumption of office, and thus all military questions and matters of war organi- I satfon are kept thoroughly up to date. It is understood that important communcations are passing between the Allie(I Governments on the subject of the Swedish plot. This matter ceases to be critical in view of the official repudiation of it. The Russian situation .grows steadily worse, and civil war seems the inevitable out- come of Kcrniloff's defiance. Mr E. W. Jch.nson, of Llandudno, who.,e death occurred on Saturday, occupied a leading pb0J in th3 legal pn-ofcesion in North Wales. But d",itc the exacting demancla of a.n exten- sive London a.ivl country p-.a4e J*Nya? able to devote h?mscLf to much pa york. As the prospective Uiiiionist ca.r.diic'ate for North Carnarvonshire, he became known to a large oed.ion of the odmmun'ty, end those who differed from hi" v iew6 were not s!ow to appreciate -d sincere and able exposition o-f the principles- fc-r which he stood. Mr Johnson was cue of the strongest supporters of the Welsh Church, a.nd the aotive pllirt he took in her ddcnce-, when tho Disestablishment Bill was brought, forward, is fne-h in the memory of Churchpyople in the dro- c"f?. of Bajigor. Much as. he- did1 to further th.3 inteweet-s of Llandudno, Mr Johnson's public activites extemJt-d ever a w ide area, and a very large circle of friends regret; the e-Iy close of a strenuous and useful life. < Amiilst Irs home surroundings and the scenrs of his boyhood days, the Premier, on Saturday, participated in a p!ea;.a.n>t function at the village institute in Lla.ny&tuir.dvvy. In unveiling po.r- t.^aite of Sir Hugh J. Ellk-Nanuey, Bart., and of th.e late Mr David Evans, has old sohcol-maeter, Mr Lloyd George recalled times were different, and when he himself little dreamt that lie would be holding the highest office in the State. Of Sir Hugh, who more than onoe oooutested against him for the representation of the Carnarvon boroughs" Mr Lloyd George æld that he "never had a fairer or a more up- right ajid E'tiraightfor-wn,ixi oppomejit." That this is dloWlcte:r;<; tic of the Squire of Gwynfryn is emphasised by the- esteem and regard in which he is held by the people amongst whom he has lived and to whose getrvice he has devoted his esuergy and capacity. To the memory of his old schoolmaster the Premie,r also paid a warm tri-bute of admiration and gratitude. • iI J The Bangor Corpc-re-ticn, aftor recently acquir- ing the new steamer for the ferry service between the city a'1.J Beaumaris, are facf-d- Avith a pro- fpect of tihe paajenger traffic diminishing. The faro has already increased to ad, and* now- it is likely to be still further increased to S'd, owing, it was stated at the Council meeting, to the Beaumaris Corporation putting up the toils per head on passengors landing on their pier. Admitting that ovrixvg to the war come advance ou the usual fares wars perhaps unavoidable, et 11 'it is a pity the two authorities cannot arrive at a mutual ai rangeme-nt which would ensure a reasonable return without running the risk of meducin'g the traffic to such an extent as to ren- der the ferrv serv ice altogether unprofita ble. « « « a ar,(i A?-y l iirzi North Wales Poor Law Guardians and Asylum GcYernors ?in probably be somewhat dis- appointed by the announcement made by Mr H. R. Williams, Local Government Board Inspector, at the recent meeting of the Ruthill Board of Guardians. Faced by a steadily increasing l'e- mund for accommodation at the North Wales Asylum and a possible expenditure of anything up to a quarter of a million of money ou a new Asylum, the authorities have contemplated over- ccming their difficulties for a time by trans fering from tho Apylum to tho various work- houses a considerable number of harmless luna- tics. thereby saving expenditure on a new Asylum and at the same time providing addi- tional work for workhouse staffs v. ho, naturally, have less to do now than when the institutions were fuller. Mr Williams protested in -emphatic terms against this proposal because however harm- less the lunatic patients might be it would not be right that aged a respectable persons, how- ever poor, shouldb forced to fit at the same table and sleep in tho same dcimitory as luna- tic, I -i tics." He further pointed cut that the admission of a dozen lunatics would mean "an addition to the workhouse staff, and the Guardians, in n way, would lose the benefit of the 4s grant." Tho Inspector's advice was that the empty work- houses at Llanfyllin and Valley (Anglesey) should be used exclusively Tor the accommodation of harmless iunaties Another point of more than local intciest maJo by tho Inspector was that nurses serving in work- house infirmaries need not necessarily, in the pre- sent condition of affairs, hold certificates. On his recommendation the Ruthin Guardians who, like many other Boards, have experienced ser- ious difficulties in securing the services of certi- fied nurses, dccidec to advertise for an uncerti- fied person with nursing experiencj for a vacancy en theiu staff. Mr Williams* view is that so long M a qualified District Nurse can be called in on necessary cccasions tho sick in workhouses can be looked after quite satisfactorily by women who have been inured to nursing though not hold- ing the "professional parchment." Presumably -ov i s i o c this is another peviod-of-the wnr provision con- firming the old gospel that 'necessity lnows no law," and as such it must 1.e assented to < < Messrs Brown & Co., of Chester, have taken a creditable lead in a movement for shorter hours for their work-people. For somo time past their establishment has been closed at 5.30 p.m., an extremely early hour for a retail drapcr-, estab- l.shment. As a concession to tho workroom em- ployes. affojiing chiefly girl workers who are I cry, costume and dre:s- ciigilge d in tile ri l*li* r making workrooms, th-3 hours of work w ill, from Monday next, be reduced, and will bo from 8.30 a.m.' to 6 p ?n. rIhe hours previously were from r..30 to 7.30 p.m. This is a matter which affects a large number of workers, and probably the movement will spread in other quarters.

THE PRnlE MINISTER AT HOME.
THE PRnlE MINISTER AT HOME. Our Oricoioth correspondent writes :-Th,) Premier arri ved here on Saturday night, and after a very short interval of rest attended the annual concert of the Village Institute, Lhn- y.tumclwy, when he unveiled a portrait of his old schoolmaster, the iate Mr Davici Evans, and nether of Sir Iligii Ellis-N-aiiiiey, Lart. The hall was packed to the doors chiefly by English visitors, all anxious to see and hear Mr Lloyd 'I'lie -,A-c l l- k-iioA ii George on his native heath. The well-known authoress Miss Marie COHlli was in the auJ- ience. After a busy week af the E;,ti (igfod and dis- charging engagements in Cheshire on his way home, it was not surprising to hear that the right lion gentleman was a victim to a chill on Sunday, necessitating iiis remaining indoors for n.oii of the day. A crowd of isit-ors assembled outside the Baptist C'tupei on Sunday afternoon hoping to got a g'iimpso of him. Kodaks were conspicuous, and so was the Prime Minister—by his absence In the evening, however, he ventured to Jus eld place of worship, but almost immediately afiier getting home lie went to bed, feeling thoroughly unwell. On Monday he stopped in- doors for the greater part of tho day, Or Tuesday he was much better. In the morning he was enjoying the warn) sunshine in and around the beautiful grounds of Bryn- awelon, and after lunch he went- to Pias lien, tho residence of Major and Mrs Richard Lloyd George him good there is no doubt The weather, with yester- d:'y'a(-xce}<io!).

WELSH HYMN TRANSLATION. I CANON EDMUND O. JONES' ADJUDICA- T10N AND AWARD. Wo are pleased (says Thursday's Westirn Mail) to bavo the privilege of publishing the follow- ing adjudication by Canon Edmund O. Jones, vicar of Llanidloes, an j one of the residentiary canons of Bangor Cathedral. The circumstances which led up to it will be remembered. The August number of the Strand Magazine gave the five Welsh bj inn-tunes which the Prime Minister likes best, and the article included a prose-translation, written -by Mr Lloyd George himself, of his favourite hymn, "Os dof Ii trwy r aniabveh." This led us to offer a prize for the best metrical English version of this hymn. The prize consists or the four volumes -of Mr Henry Du 1'aicq's "Life of David Lloyd George" (published by the Caxton Publishing Company);. the first volume has been D.,Cially autographed by the Prime Minister. In asking Canon Jones, the scholarly vicar of Llanidloes, to undertake the role of adjudica- tor, \yj knew we were selecting one who is acknowledged to be the best living translator of Welsh poetry into English, and we feel sure the competitors, and others who are likely to fol- low in their footsteps, will find the following article of the greatest help in future efforts "of-a simiiar kind. i i d "Tyssul," the author of the prize translation, only sent in his nom-de-plume On receipt of his name and address, Fe shall IKnd him the four volumes he ha.s won in a competition which haa aroused moro than national interest THE PRIZE TRANSLATION.

'lleai-t,d, u,.i it were, in the lap of the Church, (his father, a bri.iiant scholar', having been both parish priest and honorary canon in the Diocese of Bangor), and a doughty defender of that Church s rights and privileges w hen unju-tly assailed the late Mr Johnson yet held no illu- sions of the- subject of the need for reform in Church administration, inwardly a tiue Celt, lie had a mind both conservative and indepen- fiii(, t ml z?c both to,, dent, courageous and demociaiic in sentiment, to which all formalism, and inefficiency, whether in Church oi State, were inten-ely repugnant. Coileciva such a nature, gifted with a keen iuteUect, le?ai training,  wid" knowkdge of iHtellect, legal training, a wide knowlEdge of and eloquence of no mean order, and it will be understood how much our Church has lost at this crisis in her history."
