11 4 THE KINGTON TIMES . MAY 25 , 1918 . AERTEX CELLULAR Defies King Sol and Boreas Wind may roar or the sun may pour forth its hottest rays ; but the man or woman clad in Aertex Cellular remains comfortable always - cool and trim on hot days - proof against penetration when Boreas blows his utmost . The secret is this : To be clad in Aertex Cellular is equal to being clad in multitudinous cushions of air - the best non - conductors of heat- the surest means of main- taining an even tempera- ture of the body whatever the degree of heat outside .

SCUDAMORE , TAILOR , & c . , Old Post Office , Leominster , THE MAYOR AT THE PRIORY CHURCH . In harmony with and continuance of the time honoured custom the Mayor and Corporation at- tended Divine worship at the Priory Church on Sunday Whit morning last , the occasion being Sunday . Amongst those present were : His Wor- ship the Mayor ( Councillor J. B. Dowding ) , the Rev. C. R. Norcock , Alderman G. J. Abel , Coun- cillors J. K. Hyslop , P. Bach , Mr. W. T. Sale ( Town Clerk ) , Mr. J. Budd ( Borough Surveyor ) , Mr. W. Baxter ( Beadle ) , Sergeants Worthing and Powell ( Mace Bearers ) , Mrs. Pullman and Miss Easton , Messrs . G. Butters , R. B.

Williams , Pte . W. Phillips , C. Turner . The procession was led by the Boy Scouts under the leadership of Mr. Bisson and the Girl Guides , leader Mrs. Shaw . Morning prayer was said by the Vicar ( the Rev. W. J. Nelson ) . Mr. E. W. Jones read the Lessons . Assisting at the celebration of Holy Communion were the Revs . T. R. Norcock and T. C. West- morland . The special preacher was the Rev. T. R. Nor- cock , who delivered a very appropriate and sugges tive discourse from the text : " He was a good man and a just . who also himself waited for the Kingdom of God " ( Luke 22 , verses 50 and 51 ) . The reverend gentleman said : These words des- cribe a man's life and character from two points of view , first as men saw him , then as he was scen by God . Or , as we might put it , they depict the surface of a human nature and the hidden deeps beneath . The man described by the evangelist ap- pears in history as a silent figure offering the one last tribute of loving reverence to the dead Re- deemer of the world . In legend he has been claimed as the founder of the British Church . The claim has no support in facts , but the type of character which St. Luke has painted is one English which appeals especially to the mind . " A good man and a just . " The life , as the Gos pels record it in this brief summary , was which had earned the deserved respect of all who knew it . " An honourable counsellor , " he had given his best in time and talents to the service of his country . He was , as we say , " a good citi- zen , " taking an active and a worthy part in all the public interests of the day . And more than this , he was " a just man , " straight and fair in all his dealings , ready to do the right thing , and to act generously by others , although like the Psalmist " it were to his own lindrance . " Some of you may remember the description of Archbishop Cranmer's character : " And the way to win his friendship was to do him an injury . " Such was St. Joseph of Arimathaea , as others Thus did the calm , still surface of his nature ap- pear to the sight of man . And such a verdict de- serves notice . For in many instances the opinion of his fellows is no bad test of a man's real worth . At least it shows that others are prepared to fol- low and acclaim him . It reveals the power of his influence and proves that outwardly at any rate his life can bear the keen scrutiny of those with whom he lives . The people's voice is not indeed as some have hailed it " the voice of God . " The vote of a majority can claim no infallible in- spiration to support its will . But the public work of any man who holds a position of responsibility or privilege is a real means of trying his charac- ter and finding out the weak places in his self- respect . The bubble of mere vanity or humbug saw him . is very quickly pricked . So he who is accounted " a good man and a just " by others is so far one whose life can stand a very searching test . The human verdict is whole - heartedly in favour of the man who has held his office , or used his wealth and opportunities , well and justly for the good of his fellow men . But this is not the final test of life and character . That goes far deeper , and touches the inmost heart of things , where the Divine Spirit meets the human soul . The man of whom we are thinking was one " who also himself waited for the Kingdom of God . " The strong yet gentle attraction of the Lord Jesus had entered into his life . It had changed its whole meaning and value for him , deepening and strengthening those elements of goodness and trans- the justice already present in his character , guiding and inspiring his use of those privileges and op- nortunities which his wealth and position brought him . Christ's influence directed the whole course of his career . Money and position would hence . forth be welcomed simply as the means to do His service . Goodness and justice would be figured by the radiance of the sermon on Mount . And ahead of him would shine the splen- did vision which could glorify the most difficult and depressing of his tasks , " who also himself waited for the Kingdom of God . " " A good man and a just . " We need such a type of character more than even in these days in which we live . The present hour is full of doubt and danger . Grave problems and perplexities await us in the We n future . Before our leaders lie the duty of building up a new national life and discovering fresh social bonds of unity in common work and aims . need men and women inspired by the spirit which can bring forth things new as well as old . We need a wise and patient leadership , a fearless following of goodness and of justice , to lay the foundations well and truly on which other genera- tions may build in turn . There is much that is fine and helpful in our English church life . has , of course , as we all know , its faults and its abuses , but it does express our national character and our country's old traditions on their best and most enduring side . The real test of an institu- tion's value is its power to adapt itself to changed conditions . For we are living most surely in a time of change , the universal awakening of democ- racy is rapidly revolutionising Europe . Our own country has suddenly become first class military as well as naval power . We have been brought into close contact with the ideas and ideals of other peoples . Things move so quickly that wer seem scarcely free to realise the direction in which we are going . And where else can we seek the guidance which we need so sorely except in the teaching and the spirit of our Lord and Master Christ ? You will search in vain for any clear - cut social or political programme in our Lord's teach- ing . But you will not find , as Tolstoy seems to tell us , a mere gospel of " quietism , " or sage of despair . Rather , you will find in the New Testament a spirit and an influence which can inspire and quicken all our national and individual life . The soldier's sacrifice , the sailor's patient vigil , the tradesman's of honesty , scholar's , zeal for truth , these , and all other the noblest forms of human effort , can claim the guidance and approval of the divinely human leader Christ . " A good man and sense a mes- the of LEOMINSTER COUNTY POLICE COURT . On Friday , before Mr. T. D. Burlton ( Chairman ) , Major A. Chambers , Mr. T. Neild , Mr. G. E. Wright and Mr. J. R. Hill . Alderman J. Farr was present but did not adjudicate , being on the Attendance Committee . just ... who also himself waited for the Kingdom of God . " It is in his association with the Supreme Sacri- fice , beneath the shadow of the Cross , that Joseph of Arimathaea appears for a brief instant on the stage of history . He was called to make a great choice , to take his stand boldly and decisively on the side of goodness and of justice for the cause of God's Kingdom , even in its hour of darkness and defeat . And he chose rightly . He did not make the great refusal . And so he stands for with his friend ever , and helper , Nicodemus , among the tiny fellowship of Christ's most loyal followers , " faithful unto death . " The choice of truth and righteousness is always , sooner or later , the choice of sacrifice for us all . It means very often the contempt or pity of the world around A BATCH OF SCHOOL CASES . James Heapy , Bircher Common , was summoned for not sending George Dyer to Yarpole School regularly . us . But it means also a future of endless power and opportunity for service in the Kingdom of God . And when " at that dread eventide " the voice summons us to cease from our labour and to give account of our stewardship to Mrs. Heapy usid that she kept the boy at home to go to the shop and to fetch water . The boy was . not strong . Him with whom we have to do , may it be ours to hear also His words of generous approbation , " Well done , thou good and faithful servant . Enter thou into the joy of thy Lord . " There is a famous picture at the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool which shows the Roman soldier at Pompei who died at his post when the city was destroyed . He stands , leaning on his spear , with the red glow of the flames lighting up the scene . Behind him some are fleeing for their lives . Yet on the soldier's face is no fear , only a great reverence and a great resolve . He knew what his steadfast- must bring him , and he had counted the In some such spirit as that I believe that Joseph of Arimathaea went in boldly unto Pilate and begged the body of the Lord Jesus , " for he was a good man and just , who also himself ness cost . waited for the Kingdom of God . " The collections for the day were on the Choir Fund . behalf of Mr. W. R. Thomas ( School Attendance Officer ) said the boy was 13 years of age and was in standard 4.

Before the Boy Scouts were dismissed the Mayor expressed his thanks for their presence and help- ful services . SOLDIER'S THREE " WIVES " IN COURT . Three or four women with whom Sapper Tom Williams , of the Royal Engineers , is alleged to have gone the form through of mar- riage , sat together in court at Chatham on Tuesday when he was committed for trial on two charges of bigamy .

John Much , of Brimfield , was charged with fail- ing to send his son Edward to school . Mrs. Much said the boy was kept at home to assist in digging a large garden .

Robert Bulkley , of Richard's Castle , who ap- peared in respect of his boy , said the lad was kept at home to help him on the farm . He was 12 years of age . An exemption from attending school had been granted him to December , but it had not been renewed . Defendant said he could not possibly do without him as he had only one other man and the lad had to drive milk to the station every morning . It was no good sending . the children to that school as they taught them nothing . An order was made for the boy to be sent to . school . Charles Godding , Richards Castle , was summoned on a similar charge . He , said the road was im- passable . There was only a path through some fields and at one part there was water 7 inches deep , and in the winter it was 10 inches . To go round would be about 3 miles and even then there was often water to pass through . P.S. Thomas corroborated vitness's statement and said he could not use the road .

Edward Wright , who did not appear to answer the summons in respect to his boy Thomas , sent a letter stating that he could not afford to lose a day's work . P.C. , Roberts said it was a daughter of defen- dant who kept the boy at home . He was in stan dard and had made 29 out of 40 attendances this quarter and 56 out of 82 last quarter . An order was made . LEOMINSTER RURAL TRIBUNAL . A meeting of the Leominster Rural Tribunal was held in the Union Board Room on Friday last . The following were present : Messrs . J. Bazley ( Chairman ) , R. H. George , J. M. P. Cave , J. Hughes , G. Butters , J. Edwards , Colonel Campbell ( National Service Representative ) , Mr. Henry Gosling ( Clerk ) , Mr. A. H. Gibson ( Deputy Clerk ) . The National Service Representative said he had received an important communication to the effect that agricultural areas must yield their quota of men between the ages of 18 and 31 . Mr. G. Butters : It is an awkward matter to take more men off the land in view of the present shortage .. Mr. Cave It is a question as between the younger and older men . We cannot take the older men and leave the younger . Mr. Gibson , the Deputy Clerk , reminded the Tribunal that since its last meeting certain new orders respecting their procedure had come into : force , but no doubt they had seen the report in the " Leominster News " and it would therefore be unnecessary for him to read them . However , he would emphasise the fact that no man would come before them until he had been medically examined and further it was very necessary for the men themselves to understa.id that the Tri- bunal had no power to hear a late application or to grant a re - hearing . No man in Grade 1 or 2 could be given more than six months ' exemption . The first case was that of William H. N. Hunt , 30 , married , Grade 2 , market gardener , fruit grower and poultry farmer . The case was pre- viously adjourned for medical examination . He was appealing against the Medical Board's deci- sion and going before the London Board of Asses- sors . 12 PER TUB 1/3 J.

To the Editor of the Kington Times . Sir , There never was , in pre - war days , sufficient English fed mutton to go all round . Much less can there be now even , under the strictest possible system of rations . Nevertheless , one hears of many of our already harassed dealers in meat , who do not know how to supply customers rations , because of the vociferous objections made by a certain class of customer to what they call frozen meat . " Applicant stated that he had 34 acres , of which 3. were arable . He kept four milking cows , sheep and 21 lambs , besides a valuable strain of poultry . He had reduced the number of poultry , but had kept the best breeding strains . The place was his own and he had a man 49 years of age , and one 60 years of age .

Charles What is this frozen meat ? " It consists of car- cases brought from the healthiest feeding grounds in the world , such as New Zealand and South America , transported in refrigerators where the temperature is kept a few degrees below freezing point . Will some one inform the public what injury can thus be done to the meat barring the possibility that it may not be quite so nice you know ? " Personally I deem mutton so hung to be sweeter and milder than such home mutton . as comes from the wet lowlands , where catarrh and scab and rotten feet infest the flocks . Should anyone produce a valid reason for this de- preciation of " frozen meat will he still further main- tain that his objection is so substantiated as to justify the deprivation of thousands of our citizens from the very moderate rations which are now in force .

APPEAL TO PARENTS , HEADMASTERS & BOYS . Sir , -The Military situation . has necessitated calling up a large number of agricultural labour- ers which will seriously deplete the available labour during the coming hay , corn and potato harvests . It is of vital importance that the har- vest of these crops should be successfully secured this year . This success will depend largely upon boys at public and secondary schools who have reached , an age that will enable them to do use- ful work on the land . At the monthly meeting , held in the Weobley Workhouse on Monday , there were present : Sir John Cotterell , Bart . ( Chairman ) , Mr. W. R. Parry ( Vice - Chairman ) , Sir Geoffrey Cornewall , Rev. G. H. Davenport , Messrs . W. T. Cooke , D. G. Bulmer , H. L. Harvey , E. Wintour , W. H. Yeomans and T. E. Williams . letter was received from the Local Govern- ment Board sanctioning the appointment of Mr. and Mrs. Philip Foster as Master and Matron of the Workhouse . The Master reported that he had received gifts for the use of the inmates froin Mrs. Clowes , Miss Wells and Miss Brierley , and the thanks of the Guardians were expressed to these ladies . The question of the officers ' aietary was consid- ered on the application of the Master in conse- quence of the rationing of certain foods and it was resolved to grant a money payment of 6s . per week to each officer in lieu of the food so re duced , WEOBLEY RURAL DISTRICT COUNCIL . Mr. Cooke presided at the Rural District Council meeting on Monday . A letter was read from Mr. T. E. Davies that as the Council could not accept the substitute nominated by him he would continue in office , as although moving he would still have a qualifica- tion in this district . A letter was also read from the Parish Council of Almeley suggesting the name of a resident in that parish for appointment by the Guardians to fill the vacancy . sec- " A GREAT WAR BOOK . " to his few war " From Bapaume to Passchendaele , " by Philip Gibbs , 6s . Heinemann . Obtainable at the Leomin- ster Printing Co. This author may justly be called one of the war's discoveries , and its history would be diffi- cult to write without frequent reference works . Others have lectured and written of what they have seen in France , and they have left us . wondering , what they saw besides themselves , but he makes others see and feel as he did . That is genius . Any article of his leads the reader from his easy - chair straight to the scenes of conflict , and makes him witness the grimness and wreckage , and feel the terrors and wrong of a game that the people would not have to play . if rulers were less ambitious and finance less un- scrupulous . It is not a remarkable thing that he does not see the glory of war . That does not who either have not exist , except to men I seen war , or have missed seeing the true purpose of life . Philip Gibbs admits the bravery of the men , praises their patience and noble spirit , reminds us that they do not hate , but he disallows that war is glorious . It is to him a crime and his only wish is for the present one so to end that another shall be impossible . This , his latest book , is one of the books that are likely to survive for any respect- able length of time . " It is most readable ; some of the descriptions of places are as graphic are weird those and circumstances which only war can produce . Yet parts are hard to read , for they are of terrible happenings , but even these grip the imagination and draw you on to whatever is to follow . Speaking of the Ger- man retreat from Bapaume Ridge he says : " He left many of his dead . Below Loupart Wood I saw hundreds of them , and over ali this battle- field one had to pick one's way to avoid treading on the bits and bodies of men ... I fell and clutched bit of carth and found I had , grasped a German hand . " There is much like this , and worse , for Gibbs is true to what he saw and wishes us to know the devilry of it all . It is well , however , for the feelings of the reader that such as this is balanced by other features . Excellent stories wit are told which illustrate the and humour in the Army , and incidents are numerous of courage , kindness , and the whole set of human qualities . It is indeed a great human book . Fe more truly human have been offered to the public and by no other will their passions be deeply moved . Laughter , tears , pity and anger , we succession venture to guess , will follow in quick The Clerk was directed to write to Mr. Davies that the Council did not wish in any way that he should give up his office as Councillor , but hoped that he would be able to attend the meetings a little more regularly in future , and further to write to the Parish Council regretting that through a misapprehension of Mr. Davies's wishes in the matter , they should have been troubled , but that Mr. Davies would continue in office . On the motion of Sir Geoffrey Cornewall , onded by Mr. T. E. Williams , an instruction was given to the Surveyor to discontinue during the war , while labour and materials were so scarce , the practice of widening the metalling part of any road in the district while such material was badly needed on the roads as existed at present . A Sub - Committee consisting of the Mr. W. R. Parry and Mr. W. II . in Yeomans was appointed to view several local quarries and re- port to the next meeting as to the advisability of using the stone therefrom on the roads , in view of the shortage of material . So Chairman , The Chairman said that he had attended the meeting at Hereford , at which Sir John Cotterell presided , and at which an appeal was made to the county for funds for supplying comforts to men He of the K.S.L.I. now interned in Germany . asked the Council to carry out a systematic collec- tion in the Weobley Rural District , which I was eadily agreed to , and he ( the Chairman ) kindly consented to act as Secretary and Treasurer for this object . SHOBDON . For some weeks past whooping cough has been prevalent in this parish , as in others in the neighbourhood , so much so that it has necessi tated a closure of the School . In some cases this cough has been followed by bronchitis , unfortun ately with fatal results . One of the scholars , Wil- frid Williams , a bright , intelligent boy of eight years ; succumbed on Monday in last week . The greatest sympathy is felt for his sorrowing parents , Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Williams , Windsor Cottages , in their loss , especially so as a younger child is now lying in a critical condition suffering from . the same complaint . The funeral took place at Shobdon on Thursday afternoon last . In addition to the friends and relatives a number of parishioners , wore present either in the church or at the graves Some of the scholars were also present to show their last respect to their dead schoolmate , while the school flag was flown half - mast . Two hymns were sung , viz . , " There's a friend for little children " in the church and " Loving Shepherd of Thy Sheep " at the graveside . A large number of wreaths were sent , among which we noticed : " Mother , Dad , and Ethel , with fondest love " ; " In loving mem- ory , " from Grandad ; " In remembrance of Wil- fred , " from Daisy and Mabel ; " With much sym- pathy , " from Miss Hanbury ; " In affectionate re- membrance of a bright scholar , " from all at the School House ; " In loving memory , " from Maggie ; " In loving memory of our school friend , " from Owen and Fred Williams ; " From all at Shobdon Farm " ; " In affectionate remembrance , " from Chappie and Cis ; " With much sympathy , " from Yew Tree Farm ; " With deep sympathy , " from Mrs. Wilson ; " In loving remembrance of Wilfred , " from Mrs. S. H. Precce ; " With truest sympathy , " from Mrs. and Miss Woodhouse ; " With deep sym- pathy , " from Rev. F. E. and Mrs. Tuke ; " From a little friend , " on Edith a Nicholls ; " From Jack , Walter and Ernie Preece " ; " From C. and L. Bedford " ; " From Frank Howells " ; " From Mrs. Lilwall and Mrs. Barneft " ; " From Mrs. Lloyd , Canterbury " ; " From Mrs. Preece and Frank " ; " From lorrie and Leonard Pufton " ; " From J. Bufton and family " ; " From C. Bufton and family " ; " With deepest sympathy , " from Mrs. Davidson ; " From W. Evans " ; " From Mrs. War- ren and Elsie " ; " From Stanley and Arthur Bar- nett " ; " From Willie , Mary and Owen Williams " ; " From Mrs. Jones " " From Mrs. Watkins and Mrs. Evans " ; " With deep regret , " from Mr. and Mrs. W. Hodges , Alec and Vera ; " From Gladys Williams . " The extent to which farmers are counting their help is shewn by the fact that demands for over 17,000 boys have already been received at this Ministry , and there is no doubt that these members will be largely increased when the full effect of the calling - up for military service has been appreciated by the farmers . Of these num- bers not less than 30,000 will be required during June and July , and a further 3,500 are needed for October for potato lifting if suitable accommoda- tion can be arranged . In view of the above facts , I am reluctantly compelled to appeal to schools to release during term time such groups of boys as may be neces sary for getting in the harvest . This is a time of National crisis and the ordinary considerations of education have not the same force as in normal times . As I have pointed , out , it is necessary to provide men for the Army and it is necessary to provide labour to take their places on the farms , and I must urgently appeal to parents , headmas ters and boys to give all the help they can . In view of my representations as to the urgency of the National need , the President of the Board of Education concurs in this appeal and is issu- ing a circular on the subject to Secondary Schools in England and Wales .

PANIC CAUSED BY RAID ON COLOGNE . censor ap- ENEMY ADMIT CONSIDERABLE DAMAGE . Amsterdam , May 20. - Although the pears to have been busy , one can judge by what is published by local newspapers concerning the Allied air raid on Cologne what a deep impression has been made on the population . Up to the pres ent there have been counted 25 dead and 47 in- jured , most of the easualties being said to have been caused by the people not having heeded the alarm signals . Twenty - three bombs were dropped , nearly all in the heart of the city , where they seem to have caused a terrible panic . The papers , of course , say the damage is not very great , and of no mili- tary importance . From the description given by the " Koelnische Volkszeitung " it appears that everywhere the bombs fell they caused consider- able damage , and several buildings were wrecked . From a passage in the same paper's vehement article on the air raid it may be considered that the population of Cologne generally believe that the raid is a reprisal for the German air raids carried out during recent weeks son Entente that it is claimed the raids will be towns , and be stopped so that the reason for reprisals will removed . To refute this idea the paper endeavours to prove that it was the French who . started the raids at the beginning of the war and the Ger- mans were conipelled to follow suit . It is reported from the frontier that many vic- tims were buried under the debris of buildings . The whole population is thunderstruck , as they had blind confidence in the anti - aircraft organisa- tion . This , although guns were busily at work , proved wholly ineffective . As an aeroplane was seen falling it was be- lieved that a British machine was shot down , but the machine proved to be a German aeroplane shot down by the British . " NO REST , NO ESCAPE .

Every chapter- is highly realistic , and going from page to page is like accompanying the author along the high- ways and by - ways of war , " a strange adventure , fantastic as dream , yet with the tragedy reality . " What he says of the Germans is worth our know ing . He is more reliable than much of the Press , In the chapter for he writes of what he knows . " On the trail of the enemy , " he tells of their great retreat in the spring of last year . And here light is thrown on their intentions ; we learn their methods of war and their mode of life when on service . Very interesting it is , and as much so , survivors in what he heard from the French towns vacated by the enemy , about the men who had lived in their midst for a long period , and who had been their stern masters . It is a lurid chapter . A narrative of destruction , cruelty and distress , but then , war cannot be kind , it is soul- less . A tale of woe , and yet they who sufferéd most under that bondage , paid many a tribute to the German soldier , for they had learnt that he has nothing but dislike for the work others made him do . " Are you not afraid of being called barbarians forever ? " asked a woman of an officer , who , like many others , had tried to soften the hardships of the people . " Madame , " " he said gravely , " we Among German soldiers captured by the British in France during this month was a man who des- cribed with feeling how twenty - four of his com- rades were killed by a single British bombing operation over Bapaume on April 30. He said the terror of the British bombing rirmen affected all ranks , and the nervous strain their caused by persistent attacks was most exhausting . There would seem , from the evidence of Ger- man prisoners , to be no doubt that the German troops generally have been more severely harassed by British airmen during the past two months than at any previous stage of the war . They con- tinually use such phrases as " No rest " and " No escape " when speaking of the bomb - dropping and low - flying machine - gun fire of the British airmen . captured German sergeant - major , speaking of a well - known town in the Somme area , said that most of the troops billetted there had been forced to leave their shelters and camp outside the town owing to the very heavy losses they had sustained in their billets , the town being incessantly jected to attack from low altitudes by the pilots of the Royal Air Force . Many horses also had been killed , he said , and as these could not , be re- placed the transport difficulties had become acute . This sergeant - major added that cwing to its heavy losses and incessant harassment by British air- men , even when nominally resting in this neigh- bourhood , the moral of his division . had been materially lowered . sub- STORM STOPS AIR RAID ON PARIS . Paris , May 18. - The aeroplanes which attempted a raid on Paris last evening were stopped by the barrage fire of the advanced batteries . At the same time a very violent storm broke , and the enemy airmen did not persist in their enterprise . Within a quarter of an hour after crossing the French lines they had dropped a few bombs and set off at full speed towards their own aerodromes . act under the orders of people greater than ourselves .

And democracy is not less than go per cent . of the people in every land . tion It may be well to say , that , this book is a collec of articles which appeared in certain daily papers . But then , there were dashes and blanks which made , the accounts incomplete ; and what was censored was just what we desired , to know . But here that is made good " and for the first time the world will know the regiments who fought without fame in the dismal anonymity of war , with such Spartan courage , up to that high crest of Passchendaele , which was their goal . " This is invaluable to those ( and all within the Empire are included here ) who are linked by ties of dearest friendship to this regiment or to that . Now it is known where our favourites fought and how , and where , many of them fell . Previously it was only a vague " Somewhere in France , " but here is the guide to the exact posi- tions , and by which troops they were held , or captured , or both . And it is a great deal to to be sure at last where the troops of our special fancy played their part in the great year 1917 .

GEDDES APPEAL . Sir Auckland Geddes , Minster of National Ser vice , in agreement with the President of the Boaid of Education , has issued an appeal to schools to release during term time such groups of boys as may be necessary for getting in the harvest . " This , " he says , " is a time of national crisis , and the ordinary consideration of education have not the same force as in normal times . It is for the Army , and it necessary to provide men is necessary to provide labour to take their places on farms , and I must urgently appeal to parents , headmasters , and boys to give all the help they can .

" Of these numbers not less than 5,000 will be required during June and July , and a further 3,500 are needed for October for potato lifting if suitable accommodation can be arranged .

John Holmes , Defendant got another farmer to grind about 40- bags of oats and barley , and admitted using both full corn and flour for cattle , his excuse being that the miller told him it would not do for human food , as it was a bad sample . He said he had tried in vain to get artificial food . Defendant was fined £ 5 , and the Chairman , said the proportion of barley was rather small , other- wise the penalty would have been heavier .

The following , is an extract from an interesting article The New Czar of Russia , " written by William G. Shepherd in The and published Saturday Evening Post ( a Philadelphia paper ) , of the 6th April , 1918.4 " To buy shoes in Russia these days you first go to the police station nearest to your home and prove to the policeman that you must have a pair If after investigation he satisfies himself that your need is a personal one and that you do not intend to buy shoes on a speculation he gives you a permit to make the purchase . With this permit you go about the town from shoe store to shoe store . Their shelves are empty : often they are closed , the clerks are absent . You are not hunting a pair of shoes , you are only seeking some shoe shop where in the near future they hope to receive a consignment . When you find such a shop you present your police permit and are given a numbered card . This card shows . you your turn in the shoe line . But your shoe line will not form for weeks . You pass the shoe store daily to see whether the shoes have arrived . At last you see a line of people before the door . That's not your line ; these are only those who have the low numbers . Each day in the window . of the shoe shop is posted a schedule of ticket numbers . At last you discover that a week hence shoes will be sold to the five hundred persons , who have numbers , in your group . There cannot It is not on that exact day that you appear in the shoe line ; indeed if you are wise it will be the morning of the day before . You will , hire someone , if you are well - to - do , to hold a place in the line for you , because you are not sure that your particular size of shoe will be left . is no way of telling either because you . enter the shoe shop to ask questions until your turn comes . I have seen a line of women in hours - from Petrograd Saturday wait forty - eight morning until Monday morning - sleeping on the an early sidewalk during the night , to have chance with their number cards . If it last you get into the shop and discover that they have a pair of shoes even somewhere near your size ,, you take them joyfully and pay from ten to twenty dollars a pair . It has required perhaps six weeks or two months to make the purchase . " LORD RHONDDA TO STAY .

In the meantime Mr. Clynes has obtain and will agreed to accept responsibility , help in his Parliamentary work so that he may devote most of his time to questions of policy re- quiring inimediate decision . One of the first matters which Mr. Clynes will deal with is milk . Major Astor's report favours State control of the trade and , in the consumers ' interest , of the milk combine . In normal times legalisation would be needed , but control can now be exercised under the war powers of the Minis- try of Food . It means to use those powers , and Mr. Clynes will determine the method .
