EGYPTIAN OUTRAGES.^ | -
EGYPTIAN OUTRAGES.^ BRITtSt SOLDIERS MURDERED BY NATIVES. On Saturday night the Foreign Office issued the following statement: Further information has been received to- day in a telegram from General Sir E. AlWby as to the murder of British officers in the train from Upper Egypt. On the train which left Luxor at six p.m. on Monday, March 17, were two officers and eight other ranks (i.e. N.C.O.'s or men) When the train stopped at Nag Hamad.* some natives entered the train and insulted the men. The two officers noticed this, and took them into their first-class carriage. They reached Assiout in the early morning of Tuesday, March 18, where three of the men left the train, and Kaimakam Pope Bey, Inspector in the Egyptian Prisons De- j partment, joined in.. The train left Assiout at four a.m. Crowds had collected at every station; they threw stones at the train and attempted to, board it, shouting for the "Ingleez." (Eng- j liah). Several stations were passed in' safety, but on arrival at Deirout a huge crowd'rushed at the train, pulled the driver from the engine, and forced a way into the first-class carriage where the British were, now collected. It seems probable that two of the party were killed here. The train went on again, some of the! natives of Deirout remaining on board. On arrival at the station of Der Moos, another large crowd joined them, and there, with stones and sticks and knives, murdered the remainder of the party, not one of whom I was armed. All the bodies were left in the train, except one which has not yet been traced, and the train went on. At every station huge crowds had collected, who raised shouts of joy on hearing that the English had been lulled. When the train reached Mini a the bodi-es were taken from I the train and bnried. The following bodies have been identified: Major Cecil Jarvis, M.C., 20th Deccan IT-rFe, Indian Army; Kaimakam Alexander Pope Bey, Inspector of Prisons. The bodies of the remainder of the party, consisting of one officer and four other ranks, have not yet been identified, and, as stated above, the body of one N.C.O. or man has net yet been recovered.
NATION'S NEED OF HOUSES.
NATION'S NEED OF HOUSES. Dr. Adlison, President of the Local Grovcrnment Board, gave an address on the hou«in.g> problem to the members of the In- stitution of Municipal and County Engineers at Westminster. He referred to unemployment, and said as far as possible public work should be insti- gated. It might be a little more expensive than in six or twelve months' time, but meanwhile vast sums were going in unem- ployment donations. Unless the help of local authorities was forthcoming, rcpid progress in housing could dot be made. He was a gaod deal dis- appointed to find how relatively small was the number if schemes which had reached an advanced stnte cf preparation. It was of vital necessity that every means of expedi- ting the wcik -should be adopted. In the past, on the average, local authorities of the jountry ha'd been responsible for the con- struction of a-Kont 5.000 houses a year. "I shall," he proceeded, "be grievously dis- appointed if we are not w-cll cn our way to jompleting 300,000 within two years of this lay." The housing problem in its particular way was now as important to the stability of the State, concluded Dr. Addison, as the making >f shells was during the war.
--------_-----NATIONAL KITCHEN…
NATIONAL KITCHEN EXTENSION The National Kitchens Division of the Ministry of Food has lately revised both its icope and policy, in the hope that the estab- lishment of national restaurants, kitchen*, tnd canteens, and the co-ordination of the work of welfare centres and the feeding of school children from one centre will form a permanent feature in English public life. The director, Mr. T. G. Jones, who will watela the development of this policy, is anxious that the matter should be brought to the notice of workers in general a11cl of prganified labour in particular. It ie. ft.Tujjho that the most effective method of achieving success will be to seek the assistance of trade souncils, trade unions, and co-operative tocieties.
A WORLD'S RECORD.
A WORLD'S RECORD. Mr. Herman J. Sticli, an American Court reporter, is the latest Pitman writer to create a world's record for high speed in shorthand. A competitor in the semi-annual tests of the Isaac Pitman Shorthand Writers' Association, he recently earned the title of U The Cham- pion Shorthand Writer of the World" (says the current issue of Pitman's Journal") by writing under most rigorous rules at the rate of 300 wordfe a minute for five consecutive minutes, after which he presented a tran- script that, with only two immaterial errors, almost reached absolute perfection, the per- centage of accuracy being 99.9. Mr. Stich's brilliant and unique performance, which is the finest in the history of shorthand—Pitmanic writers have invariably proved their over- whelming superiority in shorthand champion- ship contests, both in this country and America —constitutes a notable addition to the long list of Pitman records.

Cardiganshire rolice. APPLICATION FOR INCREASED ALLOWANCES. CHIEF CONSTABLE'S SALARY. Cardiganshire I'ome Committee met at Lam- peLer on Thursday. There were present Sir Lawrence Jenkins, Col. H. Davies Evans, the Revs. T. R. Da\ies, D. Giilii h, and William Giiriiih; Messrs. J. W. Willis Bund, W. Inglis Jones, E. Methuen Leir, C. M. Williams, J. M. Howell, Charles Lloyd D. C. Roberts, E. J. Davies, R. J. R. Loxdale, with the Clerk (Mr. F. R. Roberts) and the Chief Constable (Mr. Edward Williams). Mr. C. M. Williams proposed that Mr. R. J, R Loxdale be appointed chairman for the en suing year. The Rev. W. Griffi h seconded, and it was carried. A vote of thanks to the retir- ing chairman, the Rev. T. R. Davies, was passed on the proposition of Mr. R. J. R. Loxdale. The Finance Committee was re-elected. CLERKS' SALARIES. Mr. Roy Evans, jus ices' clerk for Newcastle Emiyn diiiskn, applied for an increase in his saiary. Neither his grandfather nor his favher. both of whom had held the post before him, had ever made such an application, but since their time the work had increased consioer- ably. It was sugges ed that the matter be referred ,o the Finance Committee. S r Lawrence Jenkins inquired whether the Finance Committee could decide the matter. Mr. J. M. Howell replied hat all the Finance Committee could do was to consider the matter and report to the Police Committee, who might, d, or migh not, accept their recommendation. Mr. Willis Bund remarked tnat during the war justices' clerks had. had a good deal of extra work. Mr. C. M. Williams differed. In Cardigan- shire the work has decreased very much, es- pecially in the country districts, where magis- terial work had been almost a. a standstill. It was time, however, to revise salaries and the Finance Committee could consider the whole question. That did not mean iihat salaries would be increased all round. The matter was referred to the Finance Com mittee. POLICE PAY. The Home Office, with reference to the new scale of police pay, wro e that the arrangement for the provision of houses for constables ap- peared unsatisfactory to the Secretary of State. Country policemen generally should be pro- vided with houses at a ren al of 2s. a wees. The allowances granted for boots and bicycles also appeared insufficient. The letter also in- quired why the Chief Constable's salary was not considered. The Chief Constable applied to be placed on an equali y with the Chief Constables of ad- joining counties in regard to salary and tra- oiling allowance. He was the only police officer in Wales in any rank whose salary had aot been increased in accordance with the re- commendations contained in the Home office circular letter of September 28th, 1918; and notwithstanding that he was one of the senior chief constables in Wales, his salary averaged from 25 per cent, to 50 per cent, less "han those of adjoining counties, many of which had a smaller population than Cardiganshire. The Chief Constable stated further thaJ, he had received a petition from members ot the Force praying the Committee to place he Force on an equality with adjoining forces in regard to allowances for boots, bicycles and subsis- tence, and the provision of houses. They also asked for the abolition of "he present age-limit pension scheme, and the adoption in its place of a scheme based on service only. Mr. Charles Lloyd felt that the matter of the Chief Constable's salary required a good deal of thought before the Committee could do what was right. They had onlv just seen the application, and, in the circumstances, it would be wise to appoint a small sub-committee to consider the matter, and also the men's ap- plication. He proposed that. Mr. J. M. Howell, in seconding, said the force should be Seated similarly to other forces. The matter required a good deal of attention; there should be no inequalities. In small towns like Aberayron, for instance, con- stables had to reside in houses the ren's of which were from eight to ten shillings a we«K, which was a distinct disadvantage compared with the position of constables residing in some 'country places, and in houses built for them. Again. something should be done to remove the grievance in connection with subsistence. The Commi-tee allowed 2s. 6d. only when a constable had to be away from home for a dav. The sum was too small. The Rev. William Griffith: When was the amount fixed? Mr. J. M. Howell: It is an old fixture. Mr. Willis Bund said the commiLtee could inquire into "he points raised by the Horn' Office. With regard to the Chief Constable, he was receiving £100 less than the Chief Con- stable of PembrokesMo. The Committee should bear in mind Oat ihings were far dif- ferent now from they were. Allowances were granted by 'e Home Office, and the cost. of maintaining the police would be very small to the ra^epayc is. Sir Lawrence Jenkins thought the Commit- tee should deal with the Ciref Constable's ap- plication and come to a decision thal day. Mr. C. M. Williams said it was necessarv to consider the two matters, and it would take some time xo do so. If they dealt with the salary of the Chief Constable that day and postponed the other matter the men would have a grievance. Mr. D. C. Roberts agreed 'hat the matter should be referred to a commi'tee which could gather all information and enable the Police Committee to discuss it after. The Rev. D. Griffi h suggested that instead of referring the matter to a small committee a special meeting of the whole Committee be convened, to consider it. Mr. C. M. Williams: Why no1 get a meeting of the whole of the Finance Committee? Mr. J. M. Howell: Because it does not re- present the lower division. The Rev. W. Griffith seconded the amend- ment. Sir Lawrence Jenkins: Is the committee to investigate or consider the matter? Mr. C. M. Williams: To investigate. Mr. E. J. Davies suggested that a small commitJee be appointed to gather, information. The amendment wa carried, the meeting to be convened by the Clerk. NO WOMEN POLICE. The Home Office wrote drawing attention to j the advisability of employing women police in the force to deal with cases in which women j and children were concerned. ) Mr. C. M. Williams said women police were not necessary in counties like Cardiganshire, but in industrial centres. No action was taken. DEMOBILISED POLICEMEN. The Chief Constable, in his report, stated xhat since the previous meeting tiie following constables had been released from the army and had resumed police duty:—David Mathiais, Samuel Davies, Jenkin Richards, Owen Jones, E. J. Evans, John Davies, A. H. Jones, and D. S. Jenkins. The only undemobilised con- stable was Thomas P. Davies, who was a mem- ber of the military police and is stationed abroad. On February 9th, he appointed Evaai John Evans Vaughan, Aberddwynant Cwm John Evans Vaughan, Aberddwynant Cwro rheidol, as seven h-class constable and to oo ] stationed at Aberystwyth. William D. Lewis ] had been transferred from Aberystwyth to Lampeter; and E. J. Evans from Aberystwyth ■'•o Llanychaiarn. STATISTICS. Sixty tramps were relieved, during the quarter ended March 31st, compared with fifty- two the corresponding period last year. Thirty- two were relieved a Lampeter. Five persons were convicted for drunkenness during the quarter, three for larcency, three under the Game Act, and nine for damage to property. FINANCE COMMITTEE. The Finance Committee repor ed that the sum of £1,729 was required for police expenses during the ensuing quarter and recommended that a requisition be made on the County Council for that amount. The recommemdauon was adopted. On the motion of Mr. C. M. Williams it was agreed to have all the expenses incurred on the police included in the accounts.

Cardiganshire Labour.
Cardiganshire Labour. PUBLIC MEETING AT ABERYSTWYTH, Cardiganshire Labour Pflftry held a public meeting in the Parish Hall, Aberystwyth, on Saturday, Mr. R. E. Williams presiding. The Chairman was supported on the platform by Mrs Andrews (organiser for Wal- s of the WomeivJs Section of the Labour Party); Mr. W. Harris, secretary of the South Wales Labour Federa- tion; Mr. D. Roes, U.C.W.; Councillor Rhys Jones, and Alderman E. P. Wynne, mayor, The Chairman having apologised for the absence of Mr. Tom Griffiths, M.P., through illness, the Mayor said he thought it his duty to extend to the organisers of the meeting a welcome to Aberystwyth. He always felt indebted to workmen and members of friendly soceties for his position in public life. Twenty years ago he was induced to contest a bye- election and won, and since then he had con- tinuously served in some public capacity or tinuously served in some public capacity or another. (Cheers). Though he did not possess the blessings of an eight-hour day—(laughter)— his working day more often running into ten or twelve hours—yet he had sympathy for workmen and wished the meeting everv suc- cess. (Cheers). The Chairman thanked the Mayor for his presence and sketched the progress of the movement in the town and district. It was a movement of temall beginniiarl tyut was destined to achieve great results. Mr. Harries said the organisers much appre- ciated the Mayor's graceful action. Such amenities tended to smooth away friction which too often resulted from the clash of opposing interests and different principles. It was his first visit to Abervstwvth, and he wished to impress on all present that the labour party had a message and a programme for the rural as well as for the thickly-populated industrial -districts. The term labour was a widfe one. It embraced many classes. Besides those engaged in manual labour wer(; solicitors, bar- risters, engineers, and many ministers of re- ligion. The party extended a welcome to the brain worker as well as to the manual worker. It welcomed all men and women of progres- sive views and intended instituting local, branches in each locality so as to bring the influence of labour to bear on local adminis- trative bodies. (Cheerts). The condition of housing in particular was simply deplorable, It was deplorable before the war, and the war had intensified the difficulty. That statement was true of the housing of rural districts, as medical officers' reports showed. Labour appealed to th° churches for support and co operation in what wa^ a truly-Christian crusade, a crusade to save the children, thousancte of whom died yearly through preventive causes. In Monmouthshire ministers of religious bodies ga.ve striking service in the recent labour triumph in that county and local council elec- tions. Opponents often accused labour of being material if not an anti-Christian force. That material if not an anti-Christian force. That was not true. No political party had a re- ligious test for its members. There was any number of sceptics in the ranks of the Tory and Liberal party, and there were manv in the 0 Labour movement; but, on the other hand, the Labour party contained a greater number of local preachers and God-fearing men than any others. It contained men like Mabon, Tom Richards, William Brace, Arthur Henderson, and Ramsay Macdonald. (Cheers). The Labour party was out for reform of constitu- tional means. Though they were derided and libelled as Bolshevists by opponents, their movement was essentially a constitutional movement. Few people outside the Labour party had realised the tremendous import of the revolution which could be brought about in the condition and future of children by means of the Fisher Act. The State needed the best brains of children, whether their parents were rich or poor. There indeed was opportunity for the child of the workman to climb to the topmost ruhgr of the education ladder. (Cheers). Thejy must, however, beware lest its merits should be vitiated by bad and unsympathetic administration. The Fisher Act, properly administered, could be made a powerful instru- ment of advancement, and the Labour Party was determined that it should be rightfully administered. ((Applause). On the proposition of Mr. Albert Smith, seconded by Mr. Hanson, a vote of thanks was unanimously given Mr. Harris. Mrs. Andrews said her message was primarily to women. She wanted women to realise their civic and political responsibilit es in reference fio the laws and conditions of life from child- hood to the grave. Politics were the service •of human life. Women were in charge of human life from its inception. The Labour party was the workers' party; the party deter- mined to adjust the differences of society with the will and the programme to carry it out, It had been declared by a statesman that before the war there were in this country— the richest country in the world—twelve mil- lions of the population on the verge of starva- tion. That was not through the decrees of Providence, but through the blundering of men and the utter laek of system and fairness in the relationship of the different classes. Hous- ing conditions were shocking even before the war; but now that the Labour party had focussed attention on it and compelled the Government to face the problem queens and princes became interested. (Cheers). The system on which Toryism was founded had had its day. Liberalism had also been tried. It was now for Labour to adjust the balance and make the world safe for democracy. The Prime Minister years ago said that Liberalism was the faith of rich men. There was much truth that. As the number of capitalists, lawyers, shipowners, colliery ownnrs etc., professng that faith showed, it suited their purpose very well. (Cheers). Wars would not cease until the in- fluence of women, whose instinct was the pre- servation of life and was opposed to the com- bative instincts of the male, was brought to bear on international questions. (Cheers). Above all, let it borne in mind that the labour movement was essentially a Christian move- ment. (Cheers). Mrs. Andrews then presented Mr. Hanson with a case of pipes and tobacco pouch, in recognition of his services as hon. secretary Of the Trade and Labour Council, and Mr. W. Williams paid a tributa to the fidelity and zeal displayed by Mr. Hanson from the forma- tion of the movement. Mrs. Hanson feelingly acknowledged the gifts. Mr. Morgan Rees, U.C.W., having given a t address, a vote of thanks "to the speakers and Chairman brought the meeting to a close. Several present handed in their names as members of the local branch. The question of electing an executive committee was deferred.

Davies, Charles Lloyd, Esq., Sir I Lawrence Jenkins, and Colonel John Lewes. PIER PAVILION LICENCE. Mr. A. S. Cooke, on behalf of Sir Thomas Tacon, proprietor of the Aberystwyth Pier Pavilion, appealed against the decision of the Aberystwyth licensing justices in refusing a licence to sell intoxica ing liquors at the Pavilion. Mr. Villics Meager (instructed by Mr. C. T. Hughes, Aberystwyth), appeared for the appellants, and Mr. Griffith Jones (instruc- ted bv Mr. Hugh Hughes, magistra'-es' clerk, Aberystwyth), for the respondents. Mr. C. M. Williams and Mr D. C. Roberts did not sit on the case. I Mr. Vilhers Meager, in his opening statement said the Pavilion had held a licence for twent3 years. It was erected with other property by a company and some time after 2he under- taking was mortgaged to Sir Thomas Tacon for £ 47,000. In 1896 Sir Thomas bok possession and he had been mortgagee in possession ever since. Some t;me after Sir Thomas took pos- session part of the proper y, the Hotel Cam- bria was sold, and the remaining part, in addition to the Pavilion, was the Constitution Hill railway. At the Licensing Sessions ttis year the renewal of the licence was refused on the grounds that (1) the applicant (Mr. Cooke) was unfit to hold a licence; and (2) that he renewal would be void. The refusal was con- trary to the Licensing Act. With regard to the first objec ion, Mr. Cooke was a well known auctioneer. Moreover, he did not intend to carry on the business himself, he would be the licensee. No one could reside on the premises because no residence was provided and the Pavilion would be closed in the winter. Against Mr. Cooke's personal character not a word could be said. With regard to the second objection, that the licence was void, an excise licence was not taken in 1918 owing to the difficulty of ge,ting spirits. The justices referred other licences for compensation, but not the Pavilion licence although ~tli £ y had power to do so. He submitted -.Iiat the only grounds on which the licence could be refused was ill conduct or structural deficiencies; but not a word of evidence to prove either was submit'ed. Nothing was even suggested as to the conduct of the place or its deficiencies. He, therefore, appealed, against the decision of the justices on the grounds tha-. it was wrong to state that the licence was void; that no evid- ence on oath was given as to She fitness of the applicant who, moreover, did ot intend to carry on the business himself, and that the licence would be a benefit .1.0 visitors. A. Samuel Cooke, estate agent and auction- eer, Newtown and Aberystwyth, said he was agent to Sir Thomas Tacon. No licensee had ever resided at," he Pavilion and the place was licensed many years before Sir Thomas Tacon became the mortgagee. No complaint had ever been made as "0 the way the business was conducted. During the past ten years the licence had been held by the tenants. In 1916 Mr. Knapp was the tenant, and lie had "he option to take it in 1917, but it was late in 1917 when witness knew that he did not intend to take the option. A spirits licence was asked for that year, but very little business was done. In 1918 no business was doaie and no ¡ excise licence was applied for. Th re were nego'iations to sell the property but he was afraid it could not be sold without a licence, rt any rate the negotiations were in abeyance for the time being. If the sale was made thousands of pounds would be spent, not only on the Pavilion, but on Constitution Hill as well. Mr. Griffith Jones-During the whole of 1917 no use was made of he place to sell drink? Witness-It was used for a month or six weeks. During 1918 no drink was sold?—No. With these irregularities facing you you this year apply for a licence?—Yes. You did not contribute a penhJ to he Com- pensation Fund in 1918?—No. This place is not on the Pier?—Yes, it is There are other licensed places close by? Mr. Meager—I object to Ahat question. It is not a matter of redundancy. The justices could have sent the licence for compensation if they had desired, but xhey did not do so. The Chairman (to Mr. Jones)—You cannot go beyond the two grounds of objection taken by the justices. Mr. Griffith Jones To Witness)—Nothing has come of the negotiations to sell?—Oh, yes. I I can give you the names. As late as March 27th, Messrs. Thomas and Thomas, Liverpool, asked the Aberystwyth Corpora'ion whether they were inclined to take the Pavilion. The Chairman-How can we go into that which has happened after the refusal of the licence ? Mr. W. P. Owen, solicitor, Aberystwyth, said he appeared for the local branch of be Free Church Council in the Court below, and he desired to know whether he could address the Court. The Chairman—Certainly not. Mr. Owen—So long as you say no, I —— The Chairman-I do say no. Councillor Edward Llewellin, Aberystwyth, testified hat he held the licence from 1910 to 1914-in 1910 and 1911 under the Corporation. He had known Mr. Cooke for the past seven or eight years and from his knowledge of hiinj he was fit to be the licensee. Mr. Griffith Jones—I do no1, impeach the character of Mr. Cooke. The question is whether or not he is experienced. # Mr. Griffith Jones contended tha> the magis- trates in dealing with the case exercised very wise discretion. There was no need for the licence, because there was a hotel in close proximity, and i". must be borne in mind that the licence was not exercised since 1916, apart from a few weeks in 1917. The licence was sought in order that the applicants could sell the property well. There was no hardship in the refusal, because 'he tenant when he came might apply for a licence, and the magistrates did not wish to part with their powers unt l the real xena-it came. Mr. Edward Williams, Chief Constable. testi- fied that no applicant for the licence was pre- sent a^ the Licensing Sessions, but the Clerk stated that he had received a letter from Mr. Cooke. At the adjourned sessions on March 5*h the applicant was present, and in the course of his evidence he stated that Mr. Knapp held the tenancy in 1916, and gave up possession in October of that year.
