WITH THE BARMOUTH TERRITORIALS…
WITH THE BARMOUTH TERRITORIALS ON THEIR TRAMP. Rusbden, rA,.S 0., May 18th, 1915. On Thursday last, in weather the reverse to fine, we got the order to move on from Bedford to Rushden, and by the time we got there we were well soaked. But thanks to the kindness of the people we were soon in dry clothes and well warmed. The distance we covered was over 13 miles and not one from the whole Brigade (about 4,000) iell out on the way. As we had a hundred rounds of amuni- tion per man to carry, we were ordered to wear our overcoats over the equip- ment to keep same dry, after which we looked like a hunchback army, and would have given a German journalist, with any imagination, a good field to fill up his paper. Everyone to my knowledge is well treated here, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is the best place where we have been to yet. The fact that it is the first", time for troops to be billeted in the town, may account in part for the warmth of our welcome, and for the at. tention we are still having. A great improvement has been effected lately in our rations, now we have some- thing like decent allowances, and we can in no way complain on that import- ant matter. The colour of our tea is now changed, for we have a iittie cow juice to put in it. We also receive a daily allowance of butter, while it is no longer stew, stew, stew for dinner, for occasionally we have roast meat to tickle our palate.oa much needed change. The reason why we are reciving better attention as regards our food is that the Government is allowing an extra ration allowance ot four-pc-nee per- diy pp-i- man. An extra tbreebalfpence will come to us on May 22nd. The various denominations here have opened their schoolrooms for our wel- fare, where we can read, write, and recreate ourselves in various ways. Rumour set many tongues loose here on Saturday and spread the news that we were leaving on Monday. It was not so, for we don't want to leave this place in a hurry. All the boys are keeping fib and well. —RHR. I

" IChe Cats tRr. fie Barrow…
I Che Cats tRr. fie Barrow Euatis, 3unr. ? I In the midst of life we are in death." How very true are these words in days of war, when our young men die for their country. The late Mr Barrow Evans was also anxious to fight for his country, but his health would not allow it. His duty was not to die on the battlefield but to suffer on a bed of sickness. The duty imposed upon him he fulfilled boldly and nobly. Suddenly and to some extent unexpectedly, Mr Evans passed away on May 20ib, being only 85 years of age. Although he had been weak lor some time past, his last illness was short but severe. His life had been spent in faith- ful service to the Directors of the North and South Wales Bank now known as the London, City and Midland Bank, Ltd.. Mr Evans was of a reserved and somewhat shy disposition. He was intimately known to few, and the real character was revealed only to friends. His life was guided by convictions which were rooted deeply. He obeyed the dictates of his own conscience fear- » lessly and would readily suffer for what he thought right and true. Indepen- 'I dence both of action and thought were allied with tolerance and generosity. I Mr Evans excelled ag a friend, being faithfui, kind, and sincere. He was buried on Saturday May 22nd., at Llanaber. The officiating ministers were the Revs. J. Gwynoro Davies, E. Vaughan Humphreys, and I Samuel T. Hugbes. II Our deepest sympathy goes to his father and sister and to other relatives and friends who miss his companion- ship. The duties of undertakers were carried out by Messrs. Evans and Williams.

Then the Head- master (Mr Joseph Thomas) introduced the two gentlemen with whose presence they were privileged that afternoon: Alderman T. Martin Williams, J.P. (Chairman of the Merioneth County Council) and Mr E. D. Jones, MA. (Headmaster of the County School). Mr Thomas then called upon Alderman T. Martin Williams to distribute the prizes and medals to those children who had attended regularly during the year ending June 1914. After this pleasant task had been performed, they were entertained to a most vigorous speech, in the course of which Alderman Wil- liams said :—The children of Barmouth should feel proud of the means of edu- cation afforded by present day advan. tages. There was a time when the children were required to bring pennies to school to pay for what education they could get. Education bad to be paid for to-day, but the children could do a great deal to make it easier for their parents to meet the bill. They were doing this by attending school regularly. They should, therefore, come to school for their parents' sake. They should come for their own sake also. The time was ooming when the question of bread-winning would be brought home to the boys and girls of Barmoutb,- that time was not long distant in the case of some of them. They should, therefore, think of the future and make the best of their present opportunities. Their future depended, to a very great extent, on the use they made of the educational advantages at their disposal. Sound education was essestial to success in life.-Tlie Headmaster then called upon Mr E. D. Jones, M.A., to speak. Mr Jones praised the children for listen- ing so attentively to Alderman Williams and hoped they would keep in mind all that he bad said to them. They should think over the speech and endeavour to carry it out in practice. Time was always valuable—even more so to-day. The children of the present day were passing through a very critical time they should do their utmost to equip themselves with good, sound education as a preparation for life.—At the close the children sang God bless the Prince of Wales and Hen wlad fy nbadau."
