• _:r NOTES OF THE DAY. 1 1 £].r.f11 From our London Correspondent. j.The Zeppelin Raid. This week's exhibition of German j Rightfulness in the ir has only had the ?Sect of stoning the determination of the British people to pics?ute the war j'? the bitter e?d. e can have no terms t?lth a maddened foe 7,-ho slays innocent Qt>n-combatants on land and sea not Merely without compunction, but with a Sort of tewlit;h glee, False ideals, Poisonous teaching; continued for a whole Seneration, worship of brute force and lust for world dominion have barbarized the German people. Their methods of Warfare are those of savages not the methods cf a civilized nation. Unless Germany is beaten in this war civiliza- t may as well put up the shutters. We a.r1 our Allies are fighting the cause of Cli-ilizatio, as well as that of democracy. It is a conflict between light and dark- liess, -^though the powers of darkness are fortified by all the devilish con- "rn ances of a, perverted science, they ."il1 yet be broken by the unsjiakeable resolution of the British people. Zep- pelin raids, for all th-cir horrors, will not '('o,y us or weaken our purpose. I Weaknesses and Cefcsis. The war has revealed to us weaknesses | aild defects in our industrial organization anù our educational system. We have earnt with a pained surprise that we de- pended almost entirely upon Germany ■ fOl' dycs, optical glasses and magnetos. There is no reason w hatever why these articles should not be manufactured in this country. Germany has no natural advantnp^ H tV-h* production. Synthetic dyes "became possible through the dis- I overv of a famous English chemist, the late Sir W. Perkin; and half a century ago Germany importod the best quality of glass from England. Where the Ger- ™"ris have oxcollod ns in recent years is I in the thoroughness of their application j of science to industry. They have taken advantage of Perkin's discovery, and huilt- up a gr-Tit- dye industry; just as they deve loped their stool industry by systematic adoption of the method of treating low crrrde iron-ores discovered a gifted Welshman, Gilchrist Thomas. •p value of science as a handmaid to industry is realized far more in Germany thflTI in Great Britain. As we have sadI, ^pgleoted scientific teaching in our schools arid universities, it is not surprising that do -not reconrnizo the importance in ^Manufactures and industry of the chemist and the laboratory. I I More Attention to Soianca. I We, are learning from our enemy. The shutting off of German supplies has com- I piled us to manufacture our own optical glass and cur own dyes, the latter of "which are essential to our great textile industries, cotton and woollen. All this is to the good. But we need also to re- volutionize our educational methods. I :>ay nothing ag;llJlst Greek and Latin in their place; but it is absurd to make a knowledge of these dead languages the Principal aim of book-culture. Many a classical scholar knows very imperfectly his native language, though take it all in all the English language is the noblest and most flexible ever evolved by any nation he has often a hazy idea of his- *tory and geography; he is unlearned in economies arc the wonderful world of the 'physical sciences is "terra incognito'' to It is uhsurd because he shines in P--rclelc and Latin to apply the appellation E'(Ilieat,ed'oni-, tot man of this type whoso limitations are more marked than his ac- complishments. Science must be given .-a more prominent place in our public -schools and universities if we are to keep lonr position as the greatest of industrial .and commercial countries. -Biography of Mr. Lloyd George. Undisturbed by the convulsions and -.agonIes of the great war, Mr. John Hugh Awards M.P., proceeds steadily with ,hJS task of writing the biography of Mr. Lloyd George. Volume 3 of this elabor- ate work (published by the Waverley 1 -Book Company) has just made its a p- pearance. It covers the period irom the first election of Mr. Lloyd George as M.P. for Carnarvon in }?00 to the end of the South African War in the summer of 1902. These 12 years were a fruitful eooch in the poUtic?l life of the Minister J Munit?.s. T!.y ?- his rise from the ?———?.?.?r?_ :?.?- to a figure cf r,:t;1:1 'l11portance. Be te%he Boer war he had made his mark hy his fiery ?cq.ence. his zealous Nationalism and the pungency of his at- tacks on vested interests. Then whn the South African war came he was the chief figure in the little band that op- posed it on grounds conscience and, 111 mil Tnnnnm bhiii mm —liinrnrnriMHM as he believed, of national honour. Mr. Hugh Edwards reviews these dozen yearn in a lively and picturesque manner. The narrative swings along with a gallant and an attractive air. This volume is the best of the three that have been published, if the work continues on this high level of excelhmce it will be a nne literary achievement as well as a popular success.

She was attended by two dainty petite brides- maids, the Misses Mildied Gwendolen and Dorothy Elaine Davies, the capti- vating daughters of Captain and Mrs. T. Davies, and nieces of the bride- groom, but being; a mere man journalist it is impossible for us to describe the dresses The many friends of the popular young pair have rallied round them and brought costly gifts. Mrs. Phillips, mother of the bride, is well known locally for her in- terest arm ei>lirosiusm ui the aHai^s or the Borough,notably education and tem- perance.

The Lianelly harbour master is kesn upon gaining trade at the expense of Germany during and after the war, and in an expression of his views states that the lines of action that have meant suc- cess to Garmanv, industrially and com- mercially, are open to any other nation to follow, but these must be followed to gain similarly good results. In the main, he says, these lines are— (1) The encouragement, including en- dowment, of technical research, and the careful reduction to practice of the re- sulting discoveries. (2) The co-ordina- tion and co-operation of industrial in- terosts involved in a commercial policy for expansion in any particular direction. (3) Safeguarded, and to themselves profitable, assistance by the State, in- terested municipal authorities and banks to industrial and commercial projects T.hich lead to the development and in- crease of trade.

.._-.._-_-ORGAN RECITAL ATI…
ORGAN RECITAL AT JERUSALEM. PORT. There was a capital attendance at the organ recital at Jerusalem Chapel on Tuesday night, tor the beneut oi tne local War Funu., The excellent programme and the good object ieevod were bound to command general patronage, and it must have been a great sacisiaction to Mr. W. T. XJ o I_» £ r lS and his iriends to see such a generous measure oi public patron- age accorded all this occasion. The pro- ceedings were most successful throughout, all the artistes Leing; heard at their best. Mr. Roberts gave several brilliant selec- tions on the organ in waicii his versatile abilitv was displayed to the utmost. The "Russian C'a1. airy March" and the phan- tasy on the National Anthems of the Allies were very happily chosen, an d were I listened to with rapt attention. Equally appropriate was "There's a land, ren- dered in splendid voice by Madame Hall Williams, who was quite as successful later in the evening in "Land of Hope and. Glory." Miss Mary Dunn's musical monologue was highly appreciated, and a special meed of praise is due to Mr. A. Eynon, who called upon at the last minute to fill the place of Mr. Burry Morse, acquitted himself with credit. His I- l I I'?, renderings of "Death of Nelson" and x Gwladgarwr," left nothing to be desired. Mr. Joseph Gravelle gave a dramatic recital of "The last shot," and Mr. John Bowen sang "Why do the Nations," with rare spirit. We have only to add that the chair was ably occupied by Councillor David Arnold.

Postal deliveries and collections are to undergo a further curtailment in a few weeks' time. The country is being taken as a whole, and preferential treatment for special areas is being avoided. As postmen are called up on the group system the labour problem in the Pest Office will grow progressively difficult. So far the 500 postwomen in London are proving thoroughly efficient.

THE CORY Y.M.C.A HUT, PEMBKEY.
THE CORY Y.M.C.A HUT, PEMBKEY. We reported in a previous issue that the Y.A1.C.A. Cory Hut at Pem- brev, in the first week of its opening was put to good use by billeting soldiers situated there, owing to their huts being wrecked during a heavy gale. Things have now got back to their normal state, and the Hut has been made full use of in the ordinary way. Tins Hut is situated in one of them most isolated spots in Carmarthen- shire, being 2 miles from the nearest village or railway station. On Tues- day last an excellent concert was ar- ranged, the artistes being as follows— Madame Freeman, soprano, of Corn- wall (winner of H98 eisteddfod prizes) Mr. J. Auckland, of Lianelly, humor- ist and entertainer; Mr. T. M. John, tenor; and Sergt. Matthews, ord-oth Welsh, comedian. The chair was. taken bv Capt Dempster, ord-oth Welsh. Every seat in the Hut was filled with an exceptionally appreciative audience, and at the conclusion several of the soldiers told the Leader of the Hut, that if this was the class of concert that was to take place each week, there wa's no need to leave the Camp for amusement. It is interest- ing to know that the wet canteen was empty during the concert. Mr. N. S. Chedburn, a member of the Llanellv Y.M.C.A. Committee, provided all the Soldiers present with cigarettes.
