TEN TIMES MORE! Aber.'s W.W.W. WHAT CAN THE TOWN RAISE? A C250,000 PLEDCE. On Monday evening the Mayor (Captain Doughton) presided over a meeting at the Town Hall which was addressed by Mr. Evan Hughes, organiser, and Mr. Theodore Chambers, con- troller of war savings. In commencing the meeting the Mayor said they were met to pre- pare for war weapons week which had been fixed for Aberystwyth for the week commencing July 8th. The object of war weapons week was to render the Government financial aid in these days of great stress. Expenditure caused by the war must be met and it was important for the country that all possible financial aid should ba forthcoming for the successful ending of the war and for securing a permanent peace. Aberyst- and the County of Cardiganshire had done nobly up to the present in subscribing to war loans, and war savings certificates, and he felt confi- dent that the town would during war weapons week, as on all previous occasions, rise to the occasion. The sum to be raised in order to pro- cure a war weapon named after the town was £ 25,000; but the local War Savings Committee was so confident of success that they aimed at a higher figure. It was to be hoped that everyone would do what he could. Those who could in- vest large sums would, he hoped, do so for the honour of the town, and t' ose who could not invest in hundreds and thousands would have an opportunity of doing their share by pur- chasing war bonds of S5 and upwards and even war savings certificates of 15s. 6d. each. (Cheers). Alderman T. J. Samuel moved "That this public meeting pledges itself to urge the inhabit- ants of Aberystwyth and district to invest as extensively as possible in war bonds and war certificates during war weapons week and thus assist the country in its present need." Aber- ystwyth had exceeded its quota on a former occasion, and he felt confident it would rise to the occasion in war weapons week, for whenever any patriotic object was placed before the in- habitants they had always fulfilled expectations. A centre would be opened at which certificates and bonds could be purchased, and he hoped every inhabitant would respond. The Rev. N. James seconded the proposition, remarking that if E25,000 would stiffen the back of the Government, £ 50,000 would stiffen it to a -greater extent. Mr. Evan Hughes supported the proposition and said he believed the example of Cardigan- shire in war savings had boen of great help to war savings throughout the country. Nothing would please him better than to see Aberystwyth top the list. The movement, lie believed, was a big educational movement towards individual economy and thrift which would develop into right methods of spending and which would go a long way toward the right way of living. Waste was the greatest cause of poverty. Ex- penditure on luxuries diverted labour and capital from the production of necessaries. Sir Theodore Chambers, also'supporting the proposition, explained the financial position and urged people to cut out of their expenditure everv unnecessary item in order to help the Government to pay for the war as it went along. The proposition having been carried, Mr. T. H. Edwards moved a vote of thanks to the speakers and in doing so referred to the re- marks that after all the war, terrible as it was, seemed a blessing in disguise. They had heard that evening that the war savingg scheme was working for good by inculcating thrift into the children. Their sons and brothers were sacri- ficing their "lives in the great cause of righteous- ness, but those present were not asked to give their lives nor of their wealth, but to lend at a high rate of interest to the Government to help forward the great fight for liberty. The quota for Aberystwyth was £25,000, but like another town in Wales they might say they were insulted in being asked to provide this amount. They were very anxious to get a tank and he appealed to Sir Theodore, tsl.ing him that Aberystwyth would pledge itself not only to obtain £ 25,000 but £ 250.000 if they would send down a tank. Archdeacon Williams seconded the proposition and thought £ 250,000 could be raised by econ- omical living and by the avoidance of waste in every possible way. Sir Theodore Chambers acknowledged the vot3 and, replying to Mr. Edwards, said the question of sending a tank tc Aberystwytn depended on the War Office, but he would do his best on his return to London to get a tank sent down. (Cheers). A meeting for farmers in connection with the War Weapons Week of the War Savings Asso- ciation was held on Monday at the Market Hall, Mr. T. J. Samuel presiding. Very few farmers attended. Mr. Samuel, in introducing Mr. Evan Hughes, of the National War Savings Committee, London, said Mr. Hughes was a farmer's son and knew of the troubles of farmers.

North Cardiganshire Temperance Union. — a. MEETINGS AT ABERYSTWYTH. The meeting of North Cardiganshire Temper- ance Union took place at Aberystwyth on Wednesday of last week when there was a large attendance of representatives of the district. The United Kingdom Alliance was represented by Plenydd; the B.W.T.A., by Miss Pritchard, Prestatyn; and Merehed y De, by Miss Rosina Davies, Ferryside, the evangelist. At the morning conference, at Baker-street, the President for the 7. Rev. T. E. Roberts) introduced a discussicn on present-day aspects of the temperance question, in which he contrasted the relation between the present struggle between prohibitionists and State purchasers with the struggle that went on fifteen years ago in regard to compensation for closing of public houses which struggle ended in the passing of the victorious Licensing Bill in 1904. He held that at present it is our duty agitate for a Bill applicable to Wales similar ""to the one granted to Scotland which comes into fcree in 1920. Wr' s i.= and has been more ripe for the Local Option Bill than Scotland has been at any time. One necessary steps toward getting what temperance people justly demanded was that they should arrange for plebiscites in the different parts of the country which would convince the Government of the state of ripe- ness in Wales for such legislation. The confer- ence unanimously decided to recommend that. a plebiscite should be taken in Aberystwyth and district and the matter was entrusted to the Executive Committee. The Secretary (the Rev. J. Llewelyn, Borth), having resigned, it was agreed to appoint him president for the ensuing year. The Rev" D. Caron Jones was appointed secretary. A feature of the "gwyl" was the afternoon meeting st Shiloh Schoolroom when 800 children children were condacted there bv the staffs of the schools, accompanied by Mr. Jenkin James, M.A., director of education. Including children and adults there was an audience of close upon 1.000. The audience was addre-sed bv Plenydd and by Miss Rosina Davies. who also sang. The meeting was presided over by -If-. Herbert. Lledrod. At three in the afternoon, at Bethel, a meeting was held, presided over by Professor Morgan Lewis, when addresses were given by Miss Pritchard and Plpnvdd. The closing meeting was held at Tabernacle, under the presidency of the Rev T. E. Roberts. M.A., when there was a good attendance and when Miss Pritchard, Miss Davies. and Plenvdd gave stirring addresses.

(Continued from previous column.) Mr. Hughes said his family had owned farms stretching together about eight miles, and he knew well enough that a farmer was not willing to part with his money, as he had to work hard ror it. He could also speak as a Welshman to Welshmen and asked that every farmer would give his country support in this her hour of need. Orders to plough more land were being creditably carried out Dy Cardiganshire farmers who deserved praise for their loyalty in produc- ing food, but money was also essential to bring the war to a successful termination. He also knew that farmers suffered a great deal by the short: l" of labour, but every man in the country vas now handicapped in some way or other. The inhabitants of the country should invest every available penny for the successful prosecution of the war. France had stood by Great Britain to her last penny and surely Great Britain could not let their allies down through lack of money which meant munitions and 111-?' Right would triumph, but the Allies could not win unless the men had the necessary weapons. Many of our men might get killed through lack of munitions, and many a farmer's son would lose his life through his father not helping to support him. It was for them to safeguard their own sons and other relatives that they would be lending money. Welshmen had' marched triumphantly into Jerusalem, the Zion of the world, so let our men enter Berlin, the hell of the world. Once the Allies gained that objec- tive the war would be over. A total of £25,000 was expected from Aberystwyth and district during War Weapons Week, and he hoped it would be obtained. Aberystwyth should chal- lenge Carmarthen which had done very well. Before the war there were 344,100 holders of Government securities; now there were sixteen and three-quarter millions. It would be a fine thing if Aber. people subscribed sufficient to buy a tank which would bear the name of Aberyst- wyth. Mr. J. Barclay Jenkins hoped £ 250.000 would b? raised in the town, as he was surprised to find so much nnnev in Cardiganshire. A Farmer said the Government could not ex- pect nun; -• from farmers after taking all their men from t' em and making farmers plough more land. He knew that £ 25,000 would not be raised. Another Farmer said it was the duty,of every- one to support his country by giving everything one to support his country by giving everything needed and should not look on the bad side. Mr. Prys, Penllwyn, said he knew a school- master who said' he hoped the Allies would lose the war so thot farmers would lose their money. A Farmer—He deserves to be in iail. ORGANIZATION AND DEVELOPMENT. An important and interesting war savings con- ference was held oil Tuesday at the College. Representatives were present from all the local war savings committees in Cardiganshire, Meri- onethsliire, Montgomeryshire, and Radnorshire. The chair was taken by Sir Theodore Chambers, ..K.B.E., controller National War Savings Com- mittee. Among those present were Mr. Evan Hughes, C.B.E., head of the Organisation Department, National War Savings Committee; the Mayor of Aberystwyth, Colonel Davies- Evans, lord lieutenant of Cardiganshire; Alder- man J. M. Howell chairman of Cardiganshire County Council; Sir Lawrence Jenkins, K.C.I.E.; the Mayor of Llanidloes, Alderman Walter Davies, J.P., Lampeter: Mr. Jenkin James and Mr. David Thomas, C.B.E.. hon secretaries for I Cardiganshire; Mr. David Jones, county secre- tary for Radnorshire: Alderman T. J. Samuel, and Mr. D. P. H. Ashton, Aberystwyth War Savings Committee, which is organising its war weapons week from the 8th to the 13th July. The delegates were welcomed by the Mayor and the Lord Lieutsnant, both of whom ex- pressed their interest in the war savings move- ment and the pleasure it gave them to meet so many representatives of war savings committees who were carrying out this great national work with such splendid spirit. Sir Theodore Chambers read letters of apology for absence from Lord Herbert Vane Tempest and from the Principal of the College, and in his opening address referred to the great debt of gratitude owned by the National Committee to local authorities who give untiring support to the movement. The war savings movement had already achieved a large measure of success. It had some 1,750 local committees, 41,000 war savings associations, and 12,000 official shop agencies. The total membership of the Associa- tions was bitwcen five and six million people, and there were 150,000 devoted voluntary workers for the cause. The object of the- con- ference was the free discussion of problems of organisation and methods of further develop- ment between headquarters representatives and officials of local committees. Among the sub- jects on the agenda were the most effective ways of organising committees and the development of official agencies. During the afternoon session a lucid and illuminating address was given by Sir Theodore Chambers on the finance of t1* war.

Comforts for Fighters. THE INSPIRING LITTLE CARD. Seaman J. L. Pugh, R.N.—With many thanks I write in answer to your most welcome parcel of cigs., which I was very glad to receive, as English cigs. are so' hard to obtain. You have the appreciation of my shipmates as well as myself. I am quite comfortable and, thank God, in the best of health and am hoping that all the Aber. friends are the same. 1 wish the war was over, as we are tired of being away all the time, but the time will come some day when we shall rally around good old Aber to spend our well-earned rest in the Y.M.C.A., telling each other our experiences. Stoker D. A. Williams—I received your parcel safely, for which I thank my Aber. friends, also yourself, for the cigs. arrived safely and they ¡ smoke fine. I have not seen any Aber. boys here, only Seaman Llew Williams, and he is at Aber now, I expect, as he said he was going home. I hope to be home in August. Seaman W E. Davies, R.N.—Once more I have the pleasure- to thank you and the Aber. friends for your kind gift of cigarettes and the kind thoughts you have for the Aber. boys. I was at home the beginning of last week and had a pretty good time, the weather being fine. Since coming back the weather is rotten and as rough as can be. I am glad that we are thought so well of at Aber, although we are supposed to be the silent navy. I think the Y.M.C.A. is coming on very well at Aber. and I congratulate you on the good work you do and have done concerning it. As you say on your card, I will try to attend the services on Sunday morning once I have come home for good. I wish the Y.M.C.A. every success. Gunner W. Sandford, Palestine.—I had just returned to the firing line after having been down with a bad attack of malaria fever. I was up in the Soudan, near Khartoum on the Whit3 Nile, and I had the pleasure of meeting Major Thomas and Lieut.-Colonel J. C. Rea who looked in the best of health. When I opened your parcel the boys opened their eyes and were surprised to hear when I told them about your scheme. I, of course, told them how long you have been carrying en the good work and the verses you have sent on the card each time, and a vote of thanks was accorded you by the boys, with many cheers. Driver W. D. Williams, Palestine-I cannot express in words how I appreciate your kindness and the generosity of the Aber. people. You would not believe how grateful we all feel for your continuous hard work and the support the Aber friends 4Pve" you. Let us hope that the time is not far distant when our wishes will be turned into realities. Life is rough here, but still while we have such faithful friends at Aber we are able to overcome the difficulties and hardships. It is needless for me to say how happy we are to receive your parcels of cigs., and I am anxiously waiting for the time when I can thank you personally. May God guide you in this time of struggle and difficulty to a speedy and victorious end. I was glad to read in the Cambrian News" that the Y.M.C.A. was progressing favourably, and I shall be pleased to, become a member. Gunner J. S. Thomas, Palestine-Your wel- come parcel came just in time on Whitsun, so you see I enjoyed my Whitsun. I am pleased to know we are not forgotten by the kind Aber fripnds, and I am also glad to know that th," Y.M.C.A. is getting on well. I shall be pleased to become a member when I get home. Corporal W. T. Jones, Alexandria—I received your valuable parcel of comforts some time ago. I am in hospital at present, but I hope to be out again soon as I feel quite merry and bright and am enjoying my pipe of peace happily. I am in (dock) awaiting an operation. I am not worrying, only I am anxious to have it done and, hoping it will be successful. I must thank you sincerely for your thoughts of us boys wherever we are, and I am sure your efforts and kind thoughts are not in vain. I feel that it brings us back to reality of mind for what set purpose you are striving to impress upon us that we are not forgotten by those at home. These thoughts cheer us on more and more to victory and to do our duty as men for the cause of freedom and justice against might. I met a son of Mr. John Davies, Monumental Works, Bridge-street, last week, and lie looks well. He was pleased to see me as I was to see him. It was all by accident, as I handed a postcard to him to post for me, and you can guess the meeting we had. I was the first Aber. boy he had seen for some time. This is the first time for me to be in hospital since I left dear old home and beauty. This hospital is very comfortable and we get every attendance. I must thank you for your little card with its little text, as it is a gieat comfort to me, and it inspires me in many ways to do greater things in future. Sapper E. Hughes, France.—Allow me to thank you and the kind Aber. friends for the good work you are doing in keeping Aber. hoys supplied with cigs. and tobacoo vhich .re a great comfort, to all the boys to know they are not forgotten by tie friends at home. Your acceptable parcel arrived safely (n the ?tV. It is a great work you are doing for us boys. I intand to become a member of the Y.M.C.A. if I am lucky enough to come home safe. Sapper A. Rowe, France.—Very many thanks to you and the Aber. friends for your kindness in sending a parcel of cigs. I also wish to thank you for your kind words of sympathy on your ever-welcome card. If there was no stic, thing as a censor, I might write you a good dead, but still it is not the amount which always counts. Driver S. Coles, France.-It gives me great pleasure to write and thank you for the non- smoker's parcel and card which you were so kind to send to me. I answered your last parcel by return; but by your card I see you did not receive that acknowledgment, so I trust this letter will answer you both. May the work of your Y.M.C.A. prosper as it should do. They are a great help to the lads in their deal, but still t is not the amount which always among the Aber. boys. Lance-corporal T. J. Thomas, France.—Your parcel to hand with many thanks. In words I cannot express my feeling to you and all the Aber. friends for sending me such a handsome parcel, as it arrived just after the great retire- ment. We all have here the same opinion that the Hun is doomed. From the Vosges to the Channel let him do his deadly worst. He shall not pass. Let the soil of Flanders be drenched with his blood and let the fair fields of France be heaped with his slain and yet he shall not pass. The living ramparts of freedom shall never fall, under God. This is my fervent prayer and faith. And in the meantime if vou are asked "Will Germany win?" let your answer be "Never!" When reading your littlo card I cannot help but thank you for writing so cheerfully, as it helps to keep up the hearts of the boys who are fighting the good fight for freedom. Private T. Jones, Franee.-Please accept my warmest thanks for your gift, and also the card conveying such kind and cheering words. It is a great comfort for us to know that Aber. friends think so much of us. I am pleased to say that I am in excellent health, and I hope the kind friends, including yourself, are the same. Driver 0. O. Jones, France.—I thank you for your most welcome parcel of cigs. We are hav- ing grand weather and, although other things do° not look well, I hope to be home soon. I think we shall turn out top all right, and it. is good to know that we have plenty of friends at home to back us un. All the boys know we can never repay our debt to you. Driver J. R. Lewis, France.—It gives me great pleasure to write to thank you for the parcel of cigs., and am glad that the kind Aber friends are still thinking of our welfare. We have been giving Fritz a few shells lately, but we all hope this terrible war will end soon, as I' it is about time it should. I am in the best of health. Saoper R. A. M. Clarke, France.—I beg to acknowledge receipt of your continued kindness. I, It is very hard to express my thanks of the good you are "doing and also the card with the most

encouraging and comforting words. I have the best of fiealtli at present and I hope you will have health and strength to carry on. Lance-corporal W. A. Felix and Sapper E. J. Felix, France, write that they are pleased to hear that the Y.M.C.A. is doing fine and 1 hope it will continue to be a great success. The present building would be too small when the boys return and the Rink would make a fine place. Driver W. Davies, France, says the cigs. came at the right time, as he had not a cig. to his name and had j'jst landed in a new place far away from any place where they can be obtained. I have, he adds, met a lot of Aber. boys. I have one in the same battery-E. R. Jones, Glanrafon Farm, Llanbadarn. Private B. Samuel, France, writes that he is well. He left the line a few days ago, but ex- pected to be back soon. The encouraging card was a great comfort. D. Rowlands, France, writes .hat lie does not know how the beys could ever repay I'r-M. Fear for what he had done on the boys' behalf. They looked up to him now as a kind of father to them all. A gift such as Mr. Fear sends feeds body and soul and mind and carries the receiver right back to his dear friends at home. Mr Fear had made lots of friends during the war, of which he was one of the oldest. Driver David Rice writes that he was very thankful for the cigs., as he had been about a week without a smoke. His friends the day before their arrival asked "What about R.S.M Fear" and said they could db with a smoke. His division was in th(i last bier fight. He met Driver T. Edwards and gave him some of the cigarettes. Bombardier D. L. Jenkins, France, wrote congratulating R.S.M. Fear and Aberystwyth friends for keeping the boys well supplied with comforts which were much appreciated. He met the Welsh Division the other day. He I thought there was a lot of Aber. boys in it; but he had not had the luck to meet anv Aber boy since he had been in France. He had been in France three years and was rather lucky, having had only one wound. He wished the Y.C.C.A. success and will be n ore than pJeased to become a member when he returned, which he hoped would be in the near future. Acknowledgments have also been received from Seamen E.
