Am Gymry Llundain. Y CLWB.—Mae'r Clwb Cymreig wedi ei gychwyn. Y peth nesaf fydd cyhoeddi dydd- neu noson-yr agoriad. Y DIWYGIAD.—Nid yw'r wasg Seisnig yn siarad yn uchel iawn am y cyrddau Diwygiadol a gynhelir yn awr yn ein plith. Y Saesneg bratiog a chlogyrnaidd a glywir ynddynt sydd gyfrifol am hyn i raddau. Paham nas glynir wrth y Gymraeg? CREU UNDEB.-Mae yn mwriad yr Annibynwyr i ffurfio math o undeb cydrhwng eu gwahanol Ysgolion Sabbothol. Eu cynllun yw cael math o Gymanfa Ysgolion Undebol" bob daufis yn ystod y gauaf a'r gwanwyn. Agorir y mudiad gyda chwrdd yn y Boro' ddiwedd Mehefin. CASTLE STREET. -Mae'r eglwys hon yn gorfod ail gychwyn gyda'r gwaith o chwilio am fugail. Mae'r ddau a fu ger bron yr aelodau ers peth amser yn ol wedi dadgan eu amharodrwydd i roddi ystyriaeth i unrhyw alwad a gant oddiwrth Gymry Llundain. YN Y SENEDD.—Died dawel yw'r aelodau Cymreig y dyddiau hyn, ac mae pob pwnc sy'n ymwneyd a Chymru wedi ei osod o'r neilldu am y tro. Disgwyl am doriad y dydd mae'r hen aelodau pryd y bydd raid iddynt eto ym- ddangos ger bron brawdle barn gyhoeddus y genedl. YR UNDEBWYR.—Chwilio am ymgeiswyr yw gwaith y rheolwyr Toriaidd Cymreig yn y dydd- iau hyn, a hyderir eu bod wedi penodi ar wr sydd yn hollol barod i roddi her i Mr. Ellis J. Griffith yn ynys Mon. Nid yw'r blaid wedi bod yn rhyw wir lwyddianus yn ddiweddar, eto hyderir y gellir gosod ymgeisydd swyddogol yn mhob etholaeth dros Gymru. DAFIS LLANDINAM.-Ceisir gan rai pobl i .hudo'r gwr ieuanc hwn i ymladd sedd lied ddiogel i'r Rhyddfrydwyr yn y Gogleddbarth ac yntau yn Undebwr rhonc. Er cymaint y tra- ddodiadau ynglyn a Mr. Davies, ac er disgleiried ei alluoedd, credwn mai nid gwr i gynrychioli Cymru yw yn y Senedd. Pe bae wedi dilyn camrau Rhyddfrydol ei daid, hwyrach y cawsai le yn ein rhengoedd blaenaf, ond fel y saif pethau yn awr hyderir na roddir un math o wrandawiad iddo. CYCHWYN Y CLWB.-—Nos Wener yr wythnos ddiweddaf caed cwrdd cyhoeddus o Gymry'r ddinas i drefnu'r gwaith ynglyn a chychwyn y Clwb bwriadedig yn Llundain. Mewn cyfarfod a gaed ychydig fisoedd yn ol penodwyd nifer o bersonau i wneyd ymchwiliad i bosibl- rwydd y mudiad, ac i gyhoeddi adroddiad ynglyn a'r mater. Ond mae'n debyg fod y pwyllgor a benodwyd y pryd hwnnw wedi cymeryd arnynt eu hunain i sicrhau adeiladau, prynu dodrefn, ac amryw bethau gyffelyb, fel nad oedd dim i'w wneyd y tro hwn ond gadael iddynt eto gwblhau y gwaith a threfnu rheolau gogyfer a'r sefydliad. YR AWGRYMTAD.-—-Yr hyn a awgrymir gan y pwyllgor yw, math o sefydliad cartrefol ar gynllun y Clwb Rhyddfrydig Cenedlaethol. Bwriedir i'r aelodaeth ar y dechreu i fod yn ddwy gini'r flwyddyn, ac addewir y bydd y bwydydd a drefnir yno gael eu rhoddi ar delerau hynod o resymol. Erbyn agoriad y sefydliad bydd y rheolau wedi eu trefnu, a dewisir pwyllgor gweithiol i edrych ar ol y trefniadau am y flwyddyn ddechreuol o'i fodolaeth. Awgrymir mai'r enw fydd Cambrian Club yn Saesneg, a "Clwb Cymreig" yn y Gymraeg.

PENODIAD POBLOGAIDD. — Llawen genym weled fod Coleg y Brifysgol, Aberystwyth, wedi sicrhau gwasanaeth Mr. J. H. Davies, M.A., (Cwrtmawr) i fod yn gofrestrydd yn olynol i'r diweddar Barch. J. Mortimer Green. Un o'r bechgyn ieuainc parchusaf yng nghylchoedd Cymreig y ddinas yw Mr. Davies, ac wedi bod yn cymeryd rhan flaenllaw yn ein holl fudiadau yn ystod y deng mlynedd sydd newydd fynd heibio. Golyga ei benodiad y bydd raid iddo ymadael a'r ddinas, a sicr y bydd cylch eang o gyfeillion yn chwith am ei golli o'n gwahanol Gymdeithasau ac o'n cyfarfodydd Cymreig. Bydd yn dechreu ar ei waith yn gynar yn yr Hydref. EI YRFA.—Un o ddisgynyddion Charles o'r Bala yw Mr. Davies, ac mae teulu Cwrtmawr yn barchus iawn yn Sir Aberteifi. Derbyniodd ran o'i addysg yn Aberystwyth, a graddiodd yng Ngholeg Lincoln yn Rhydychain gydag an- rhydedd. Ar ol gorphen ei gwrs colegol daeth

materially assisted Russia by allowing the Baltic Fleet to coal and put in supplies in French waters. That France broke neutrality is admitted by all impartial diplomatists. But the great victory of Saturday night and Sunday has enabled us all to sleep in peace once again. Japan needs no help now, and no other European Power will be mad enough to take up the cause of the disgraced Bear. What is Life? -The remarkable difference in tone between the scientists of the present day and their predecessors of the mid-Victorian era, when discussing the problem of life receives fresh emphasis in a most scholarly and interesting article on the subject by Sir Oliver Lodge, which appears in the current number of the North American Review. Materialism and atheism can no longer claim the support of science. Wallace, Myers, Kelvin, and Lodge more than counterbalance Haeckel and Tyndal. Theism and the stones of the field are in league together, and the students of nature are declaring that there is a higher kingdom than that of mere matter. Sir Oliver's conclusions will be found summarised in the following extract So far, all effort at spontaneous generation has been a failure; possibly because some essential ingredient or condition was omitted, possibly because great lapse of time was neces- sary. But suppose it was successful; what then ? We should then be reproducing in the laboratory a process that must at some past age have occurred on the earth for at one time the earth was certainly hot and molten and inorganic, whereas now it swarms with life. Does that show that the earth generated the Hfe ? By no means. Life may be something not only ultra-terrestrial, but even immaterial. What is certain is that life possesses the power of vitalising the complex material aggregates which exist on this planet, and of utilising their energies for a time to display itself amid terres- trial surroundings; and then it seems to disappear or evaporate whence it came. It is perpetually arriving and perpetually disappearing. While it is here, the animated material body moves about and strives after many objects, some worthy, some unworthy it acquires thereby a certain individuality, a certain character. It realises itself, moreover, becoming conscious of its own mental and spiritual existence and it begins to explore the mind which, like its own, it conceives must underlie the material fabric- half displayed, half concealed, by the environ- ment, and intelligible only to a kindred spirit." A Public Victory.—The most interesting news of the week to all dwellers of Greater London, especially those of the southern half, was the announcement that the Select Committee of the House of Commons had passed the preamble of the County Council's Bill to take the tramways over Westminster and Blackfriars Bridges, and to join the two by a line running along the Victoria Embankment. It is a great victory for the people, and they may justly rejoice. Even if the Bill fails to secure a successful passage through the remaining Parliamentary stages, the fact that a Select Committee, after hearing all the evidence that the opponents of the Bill could produce against it, has pronounced in its favour, makes it certain that Parliament will sanction the project in the near future. No reform is more needed, and no boon would be of such benefit to the thousands of the toilers Of London. That these toilers should be obliged to walk over the bridges in all weathers, simply because a few city aldermen and city officers, whose days of usefulness are long passed, do not wish trams in which they have no shares to supersede the omnibuses in which they have, is a crying scandal. But better days are at hand, and before very long it will be possible to travel from Clapham or Camberwell to Hampstead Without changing one's seat. And then London Will be really one city. + The Fight for the Children.- The manifesto of the Welsh National Campaign Committee which was issued last week, and which will be found in (another column, is a document that must become historical. It is nothing less than a declaration of war and an immediate call to arms Time alone will show what response the people of Wales will give to it. But we shall know in a few weeks whether the Welsh nation is prepared to make the sacrifice necessary to carry the fight through to a successful issue. No war of this kind can be carried on without great sacrifices, and it remains yet to be proved that nationalism is equal to the demands of the altar. On the very day that the manifesto was published the Merioneth County Campaign Committee held its first meeting, and a commu- nication from the National Emergency Com- mittee was read, instructing the County Com- mittee (a) "to at once arrange for the withdrawal from denominational schools of all children of Nonconformists now attending them, and to take steps to provide on behalf and at the expense of the National Committee schools for the instruction of such children in single school areas, so as to have the same opened not later than mid-June," and authorising the County Committee to engage and to equip buildings and to provide teachers for the purpose;" (b) that the County Committee be asked to prepare and submit to the National Committee a complete estimate of the cost to provide, equip, and maintain the schools up to the end of the year." The County Committee showed no hesitation about carrying out these instructions. It decided "That in the case of the twelve districts of the county where there are only voluntary schools, we wish to start without delay emergency schools in chapel schoolrooms, and, in certain cases, erect temporary school buildings." If the parents throughout the county are of the same mind as the Committee, it is difficult to see how the Education Department is going to defend itself. But, as we said before, the success or the failure of the movement depends entirely on the people themselves. Do they consider that there are principles at stake that deserve to be defended, no matter what the cost may be ?
