Considerable attention has been devoted lately by musical magazines to the subject of cinema music. We read the other day of an incident in which a well-known writer on chamber music, climbed up the back stairs of a cinema theatre one morning, drawn there by the strains of Schubert's Unfinished Symphony" which the theatre orohestra were rehearsing. He was surprised to find what excellent music comprised the pro- gramme at this cinema, and since then his interest in picture palaces is very largely increased. The incident suggests the vast importance which picture palaces will un- doubtedly have upon the music of the future. They will not only form a ready and con- venient medium for the introduction of new composers to the public, but will, if they choose, provide an excellent channel of educative influence. We trust it will not be long before the musical portion of picture iis given the promi- nence which its possibilities deserve. In Wales,, where orchestral music is notoriously backward, the idea should be received with special favour, and we hope the numerous really excellent little orchestral bands which play daily in cinemas will before long be found acting upon it. The cinema pro- prietor who paid special attention to his inci- dental music would surely find his trouble well-repaid. It would be a wise move on the part of these theatres if they made almost as prominent as other features of their entertainments, the items of incidental music to be heard there weekly. If they included in their programmes, as they well might, some of the old masterpieces as well as some of the very best works of modern British composers, they might print on their programmes brief analyses of the works. It would be well worth the trouble and would be a splendid thing for educating the public and raising the standard of musical know- ledge and taste. Unionists are united in support of Mr. Bonar Law's patriotic policy of sharing in the Government by Coalition until such time as the nation's house has been set in order. They have, as the Prime Minister has said, u honoured every pledge that they have jgiven." The majority, and the far-seeing, among Liberals, and some of the most able and experienced Labour leaders, are simi- larly disposed. Commonsense teaches them that the unity that brought us to victory must be continued until we have gathered .And securely garnered the fruits of victory. United we shall stand. Divided we should be in peril of grave disaster. But there are those who are constitutionally unable to see beyond the horizon of party. For them the section is greater than the nation. Their obtuseness has sent them into political exile, where they rave against the Government in which they can see no good because they ,have neither influence on, nor membership of, it. Their perilous plea for the prema- ture revival of partisanship was shattered by the Prime Minister in his recent speech at Manchester, and the, futility of their political attitude stands exposed for all men to see. National unity during the war was vital to victory. It is equally vital to the establishment of a sound peace, and it is olear to-day that obstacles in the way of na- tional reconstruction cannot be surmounted by a renewal of party strife. An object lesson in that respect is afforded us by what has taken, and is taking, place in the United States of America, where national disunion over the League of Nations has had such an unfortunate effect on the Allies' plans for world peace and progress. The Government's Anti-Dumping Bill is the natural, legitimate and proper sequel to the policy and action of Mr. Asquith and his Liberal colleagues in 1915 and 1916. Yet, confronted with the materialisation of their .own efforts, the Asquithian Liberals attempt to create a stampede among the Coalition Liberals by representing this admittedly necessary development of legislation. They appear to regard the foreigner—and before the war the particular foreigner was German, as is likely again to be the case—as enjoy- ing a divine right to dump." The ruin cf British work and wages is as nothing to them, if only the dear delightful" dumper" who seeks to smash British endeavour prior to exploiting the British market, can have his way. Commonsense, thinking, and pa- triotic Coalition Liberals are at one with the Prime Minister, in refusing to believe that the cause of Free Trade is inseparable from permitting what is known as dumping'— what Mr. Asquith called unfair competi- tion.' What does "dumping" mean? It means that we permit foreign trusts under the protection of a tariff wall, to sell lUll goods continuously and persistently at a prioe below what we could produce them Jar" with a view to running our industries and supplanting them by their own. It is for this that Asquithian Radicalism stands. In exile the Asquithians repent their own temporary submission to commonsense econo- mics and .endeavour to repudiate the fruit of their own works. To no lower depth can politicians sink. 40

LLANSAINT SOLDIERS AND SAILORS FUND. A correspondent writes complaining that the committee in charge of the above fund have not convened a public meeting to decide what to do with the balance in hand.

Carmarthen Borough Police…
Carmarthen Borough Police Court. BEER & HOP BITTERS.—PUBLICAN'S PLEA. Monday, Dec. 8th.—Before the Mayor (Rev. A. Fuller Mills), the deputy mayor (Mr. Wm. Evans), and Messrs. John Lewis, Henry Howell, J. B. Arthur, Walter Spur- rell, T. Bland Davies, Rees Davies, and John Griffiths. W. Thomas, licensee of the Three Sa!mon Inn, Water-street, was charged with selling intoxicating liquor during prohibited hours and with permitting the sale. Thomas Rees, Esgerhir, Talog Road, was summoned for aiding and abetting and also for having consumed the beer during prohibited hours. Mr. W. J. Wallis-Jones appeared for both defendants, and pleaded "Not guilty." P.C. John Walters said that at 3.40 p.m. on Saturday, the 29th ult., he visited the Three Salmon Inn with P.C. Matthew Davies. They found the front door closed and then vent into the house through the bck door leading in from Water-street. In the bar they found four men standing in front of the counter and the landlord stand- ing inside. As witness entered the bar, Thomas Rees made a half-right turn, and he (the constable) noticed that Rees had some- thing bulky underneath his overcoat. Wit- ness opened his overcoat and found a half- pint glass measure nearly full of beer. Wit- ness asked Rees what account had he to grve for being in possession of the beer, and he made no reply. Witness then asked the landlord what reason he had to give for supplying the beer, and he replied, I only served him with hop bitters.' Witness then told P.C. Matthew Davies to take possession of the beer, and Thomas Rees remarked, "There is no need for you to take it to be tested. I will admit it is beer, and if I am brought before the magistrates I will admit it is beer and I will plead guilty." P.C. Matthew Davies gave corroborative evidence. By the Head Constable (Mr. W. Howel Evans)—Rees was standing in the middle of the room facing the bar, while the landlord was inside the bar. William Thomas, the defendant, said that he had been licensee of the Three Salmon for six years. Defendant Roes regularly put up his horse and trap at his house. Rees was a teetotaller, and he (witness) had never seen him drinking anything but hop bitters. He went into the bar that Saturday about 2.45 p.m. and found defendant Rees and John Thomas there. Thomas asked him for one half-pint of beer and one half-pint hop bitters, and he told him that he could rot serve him with beer as it was closing time and he then served him with two half- pint glass measures of hop bitters. Thomas paid him every Saturday for the stabling of his horse and trap. Rees was there waiting for his wife who came when the two constables were in the bar. After serving the men he remained chatting with them. It was perfectly true that it wns only with hop bitters he served the two men. lIe had not seen the glass of beer at all until the constable caught hold of it. The glass of beer was on a table in a little i nt the far: ned of the bar, and he rrould not see it lrom behind the bar. Thomas Rees, the other defendant, said that I. the Saturday in question he put up as usual at the Three Salmon Inn. He went there before 2.30 to see if his wife and his parcels had arrived. In the yard he met John Thomas who asked him if he would take something to drink. Thomas then went into the bar and he went into the kitchen. It was then about 2.20 p.m. A few seconds later he went into the bar and found two half-pint measures of beer on the small table in the corner at the end cf the bar. Seeing it was beer he told Mr. Thomas that he did not drink beer. There was no one but himself and Mr. Thomas in the bar at that time. Between 2.30 and 3 p.m. bhe licensee came in, and John Thomas asked the licensee for one half-pint of beer and one hop bitters. The landlord said he tocld not supply beer as it was closing time, and he supplied two glasses of hop bitters instead He put his empty glass on the mantelpiece and the half-pint measure of beer meant for him was still on the little table. He was standing at the far end of the counter within reach of the table in the corner, and he could see the two constables coming through the glass door. "When the police came I did a foolish action in trying to conceal the beer under my coat," added witness. The Mayor—You lost your nerve, Mr. Rees?—Yes. I did not want to have any trouble, and I concealed it in my excite- ment. Witness added that the licensee could not have known anything about that beer. Wit- ness was a teetotaller, and had been a Hechabite for many years. He spilt some of the contents of the measure in his excite- ment when trying to conceal it from the police. Mr. Rees Davies—Why didn't John Thomas drink the glass of beer' that was left?—I don't know; for the sake of the house, perhaps (laughter). Mary Williams, employed by William Thomas, Three Salmon Inn, said that she was at the bar up to a few minutes before 2.30 P. m. that aftaloon. John Thomas came in and ordered two half-pints of beer which she supplied about 2.20 p.m. As she left the bar Rees came in. By the Head Constable-I left the two measures of beer on the counter and then went away John Thomas, St. David's-street, said that on this day he went to the yard of the Three Salmon Inn and saw Rees whom he asked to have a drink with him. He went into the bar and called for two half-pints of beer, which were put on the counter. A second or two later Rees came into the bar. It was about 2.20 p.m. He drank his beer, and Rees told him that he did not drink her, and he put the beer meant for him on the table in the corner. They chatted a. little, and the landlord came into the bar after 2.30. and witness asked him for one half-pint of beer and one hop bitters, but !!io landlord said he could not serve beer as it was after 2.30. Witness then asked for two hop bitters instead. The licensee could not see the glass of beer on the table the corner.

(Continued from last column). want of faith in Christ if we had any doubts in regard to our dearest ones who were gone. They were safe in His keeping. They had come there that day because of their respect for, and sympathy with, the members of the family. One of the finest things in Welsh character was their capacity for sympathy and respect. Human sympathy after all reached a very little way and had very little power, but He who died for all of us, not only was perfect in the fullness of his sym- pathy, but was the Great Physician of broken hearts. The gallant multitude of our best and bravest laid down their lives for their country because it was in danger, and we should be determined afresh to live for our country and not for ourselves. They died for Britain; let us live for it. Let us put the cause of our country, the cause of all before the interests, the prejudices, or even the good of anyone of us. Let us run the race of unselfishness and self-denial, and give loyal devotion to the common weal above all thoughts of class, party, or sect. We were in duty bound to God to follow the example of those thousands of gallant men who gave all for their country, by putting always our country as a whole first and fore- most, and spare no effort to make it a little better, a little more united and a little safer. The hymn, Sleep on, Beloved" was then sung, and after the Blessing and the National Anthem, a touching service termi- nated with the hymn, "0 fryniati Caer- salem."

Late Capt. M. Kernes A. Lloyd
Late Capt. M. Kernes A. Lloyd MEMORIAL WINDOW UNVEILED AT LLANGYNLLO. Despite the adverse climatic conditions, the pretty church of Llangynllo, Cardigan- shire, was packed on Wednesday when at a very impressive service a beautifully artistic window was unveiled by General Sir Henry Mackinnon, G.C.B., K.C.V.O., and dedica- ted by the Bishop of St. David's, to the memory of Capt. Marteine Kemes Arundel Lloyd, of the Grenadier Guards and Master of Foxhound?, only son and heir of Sir Marteine Lloyd, Bart., and Lady Lloyd, of Bronwydd, Henllan, who was killed in action in France on Sept. 15th, 1916. The late gallant officer was well known and popular in West Wales, being a scion not only of an ancient family with a noble ancestry, but a son of the last of the Lord Marchers of Great Britain, and the unveiling of the memorial window brought back many gladsome memo- ries of the late Grenadier to the congrega- tion, which was so large that even the aisles were crowded-a practical testimony of the popularity of the Bronwydd family. The window, designed by Messrs. A. More, of London, is a veritable work of art, and is situated in the west wall of the church, opposite to another beautiful memorial window in the east wall, put up many years ago to the memory of Sir Marteine Lloyd's parents. The window to the memory of Capt. Lloyd contains three lights. The centre represents the supreme sacrifice, and is a kneeling figure placing his sword on the altar, with a big crown and Faithful unto deati." The right light contains the figure St. George for Eng- land and the Kliig, 'a Ild St. Martin, the patron saint, fills the left light, being pro- perly emblematic of the late Capt. Lloyd's great generosity. The cypher of the Grena- dier Guards is on one -ide, and that of the Lord Marchers of Kernes on the other. Above in the circle is the family escutcheon. Beneath the window is the following in- scription on a marble mural tablet:— In ever loving memory of M. A. Kemes Lloyd, Captain, Grenadier Guards, and Master of Hounds, only beloved son of Sir Marteine Lloyd, Bart., Lord Marcher of Kernes, and Lady Lloyd. He was wounded at Ypres, 1914, and was killed in action in France on Sept. 15th, 1916. He lies where he fell at Ginchy on the Somme. Aged 26 years. This window is erected by his de- voted Father and Mother. Lus perpetria luceat Er." The church altar was bedecked with beau- tiful flowers, whilst superimposed on a white sheet over the window before its unveiling was a magnificent Union Jack. In addition to the Bishop of St. David's, the officiating clergy were the Rev. E. Owen Jones, Rector of Llangynllo (who conducted the service), Rev. D. G. Phillips, R.D., Rector of New- port, Pem.; and the Rev. J. Rees, vicar of Llanrhian. Among those present were Sir Marteine Lloyd, Bart., and Lady Lloyd. Miss Lloyd and Mrs. Roger Lloyd, Brofiwydu, General Sir Henry Mackinnon, G.C.B., K.C.V.O., Mrs. Berrington Davies, Colonel Cecil Spence-Jones, C.M.G., D.S.O., and Mrs. Spence-Jones, of Ffynone; Mrs. Newland, Dolhaidd; Colonel J. D. Lloyd, Pare Henri; Mrs. Colonel Delme Davies-Evans, Penylan; Capt. W. Lewee, Llysnewydd; Miss Owen, The Palace, Abergwili; Dr. Havard, mayor of Newport (who appeared in his robes); Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Jones, Penrallt; Mrs. D. G. Davies, Castle Green, Cardigan, and Mr. John Evans, mayor of Cardigan (agent to the Bronwydd Estate). Mrs. F. E. Withington, of Fringford Lodge, daughter of Sir Marteine and Lady Lloyd, who was unable to be present, had sent a beautiful wreath of white chrysanthe- mums. There was also a wreath from Mr. David Sellar, of London. Assisting the choir were a number of choir boys from St. Peter's, Carmarthen, and the singing was of a high standard, whilst Mr. S. J. Mundy, F.R.C.O., organist and choir- master at St. Peter's, Carmarthen, presided at the organ. The service opened with the hymn, Onward, Christian Soldiers," which was followed by the 28th Psalm. The Rev. D. G. Phillips read the lesson from Daiah, and the next hymn sung was The Supreme Sacrifice." General Sir Henry Mackinnon, accompa- nied by the Bishop and clergy, Sir Marteine and Lady Lloyd, and others, then proceeded to the west wall, and having unveiled the window, the General stated I ask you, sir, to accept this beautiful window, and to keep it for all time in memory of a brave soldier, a gallant gentleman, a good sportsman, and a loyal comrade." The Bishop of St. David's performed the dedication ceremony, and then gave an ad- dress taking, as his text the first portion of the 1st and 2nd verses of the 12th chapter of the Epistle to the Hebrews. His lordship stated that it was very right, just and suit- able that the memory of one greatly beloved in that district, and in his regiment, who gave his life for his country, should be kept sacred in that church by means of that beautiful window, now dedicated to the glory of God. He hoped this country would never forget those who saved it from ruin and tyranny in the great war. It would be a great shame if we forgot those living who fought for us, especially those who had been wounded and disabled. He thought those present, and their children with them, would be better men and women because that window was there to tell them of one who made the supreme sacrifice. That occasion reminded them of the great spiritual law of God's government of the world. That law was the law of sacrifice. It was through sacrifice that ill was overcome. It was a mysterious law, a trying law, but a univer- sal law, and his text suggested the key to its mystery-the key to the mystery of Divine Providence, the universality of the law of sacrifice, which was found in the Cross of Christ, Who called upon us that if anyone would come after Him, let him deny himself and take up His Cross and follow Him. Let us run the race that is set before us, like those who gave their lives for their country, like their dear brother of whom they were thinking that day, who was in the prime of Jife, in the strength and joy of his manhood, for those who took up the Cross were not to be pitied. They had the highest of human honours in following Him in the only way to victory of good over ill. Sacri- fice was never in vain. Real power was always gained by sacrifice. We could never understand a part of anything unless we look upon that 'thing as a whole, so we never could understand the life of man if we merely look at that small fraction of it which we could see. In order to do our duty in this life, let us remember that man's life is much bigger than we could see. It was (Continued at foot of preceding oolumn).
