What can the future bring of happiness Or calm content the past did contain? The past was once as now the future is- Where hope and love and longing dimly dwelt To-morrow soon will be as yesterday, And barren lie within the grave of time. With nothing left behind but memory Of joy that was not, but tha.t might have been If something in the world outside ourselves- What we call fate—had been far otherwise, Or we had seized our opportunity That passed, if ere it came, unknown to us. What can the future ever bring to me That at the present moment is not mine? I am just what I am, and will remain Throughout life's fluctuations without change. I may be well or ill, or hot or co.'d, May eat or drink of bitter or of sweet. Or meet with love or hate, or good and bad. But I through all, shall still remain myself— An elemental thing defying change As long as human life is what, it is. The Coast. J.G.
IN VIENNA HOSPITALS. Writing on the coal shortage, the Directory of a larga infirmary says:—For months past tho coal shortage has become as great a mqnaca to the Vienna hospitals as the lack of food. The hospital patients have accus- tomed themselves to a minimum of tood. which cannot be further reduced. Larjje wards with many seriouSiy ill and many fever cases, for instance, receive no milk whatever on some days. Doctors from other countries who have visited the Vianna cUnics and hospital wards confirm that our patients are starving. Foreign physicians, the kind Swiss, Englishmen, Americans, Danes and ottih^rs "have takdn steps to deal with this state of affairs in the hospitals. "Now the lack of fuei is threatening the very continuance of the hospitals at work. One of the most -serious results is the stop- page of laundry work which prevents us ob- taining clrJan linen. If thia lack of dean linen is to continue this would be equivalent to closing down the hospitals. In our terrible position we must limit ourselves to an absolute minimum of food; we shall learn to do without warm water, but without clean linen the carrying On of the hospitals be- comes an impossibility. "The administration of the hospitals have been authorised to obtain reserves of coal during the summer fcr the coming winter. At the moment we cannot obtain any supplies. on the contrary we are using our last reserves and unless supplies come in we shail be absolutely without coal in four week's timd."—Save the Children Fund, Press Departmtjnt, 329, High Holborn.

Preparations are well advanced for the great Liberal de- monstration which Cardiganshire Liberals are organising at Aberystwyth on Tuesday Octcbar 7th, at which the Rt. Hon. H. H. Asquith wiU be the chief speaker- Corres- pondents have been busy attaching the visit with a probab;e vacancy in the Parlia- mentary representation, but there is not a vesiige of truth in their surmises. Other or- ganisations arc busy and Liberals are not going to let them have all their own way. The most active promoters of the visit are also en- thusiatic supporters of the Prime Minister; but they realise that the time has come for Liberalism to be preached with as much activity as in pre-war days, otherwise they will lose the support- of the young element. They hail the visit of Mr. Asquith because of his great servicqs in the past and the know lodge that lie can give them sound advice. Several Coalition M.P's have ex- pressed their intention to be present as a mark of esteem for the great statesman. Particulars of the meeting are advertised in another column. STRAN-DED.-One day last week a well- known medical man of Aberystwyth, accom- panied by another gentleman equaJIY well known in the field of theology, set out by the eight a.m train, the former to snatch a day's holi- day at Dolgelley, and the latter at Barmouth. Arriving at Dovey Junction, they obeyed tlto injunction to change from one train into another. Crossing to the opposite side of the platform, they composed themselves comfort- ably in corner seatz and sought solace in the Indian weed and conversation. Soon one of them, disquieted by the deiay in setting out, asked the guard when the, train was to start, as he wanted to catch the Dolgelley connection. Great was the passengers' chagrin to be in- formed that the Coast train had almost reached I' Aberdovey. They, like others, had entered the wrong train and were faced with a three-hours wait for the next. Mr. Lloyd, the courteous stationmaster, made the two wayfarers as com- fortable as the circumstances permitted, and they both eventually proceeded to Barmouth, there being no connection with Dolgelley bv that train. The genial doctor, however, re- turned home to Aberystwyth by the afternoon train without visiting his intended destination.

The special art. istes were Mr. William Allen, A.R.C.M., and Miss Hilda Roberts (soprano solo win- ner at the) National Eistuddfod). Mr. Allen made a special mark in "Pals" after which he was twice encored and responded with "Friend". and "To-morrow" Both art- istes were in splendid form and their voices were admired. Another pleasing feature was the violin solo of Miss Evelyn Alexander (leader) who was vociferously encored. The orchestra conducted by Mr. Rowe fully maintained the reputation gained during the season. Miss Kate Alexander and Mr. Chas. H. Clements were the accompanists. Next Wednesday a benefit concert will be given and the Orchestra's engagement will con- clude on Friday.

Williams, John Evans, Edwin Morris, T. J. Samuel, Daniel Thomas, Councillors Professor Edwards, T. J. Morrison, J. Barclay Jenkins, B. Taylor Lloyd, Enoch Davies David Ellis Dr T. D.

I With regard to the appointment of a Profit- eering Tribunal, Captain B. Taylor Lloyd pro- posed that the matter be deferred, as there was no flagrant case locally. Mr. C. M. Wi'liams thought it would have excellent effect if a tribunal were appointed. Visitors met farmers on Llanbadarn and Pen- parke roads to buy butter and farmers were cuto enough not to ask for a price but to ask what visitors would give. In some cases as much as 3s. and 3s. 6d. per pound had been paid. Two visitors had complained to him that they cou.'d not buy butterat 2s. 6d. per. pound, if a case was brought on the penalty would be serious. A dea,tr in earthenware told him that crocks which would hold six or seven pounds had been sold out. The police had been assisting in trying to detect offenders. Mr. Rh's Jones said as mtreli as 5s. or 6s had been paid. Visitors who bought butter to take away were to blame. He would like to know how many more officials wou'd be re- quired under the Act. Dr. Harries-There is nothing but profiteering going on. I The matter was ordered to be placed on the next agenda. PUBLIC BATHS. A communication from Mr. Hodgkinson-Car- rington to the effect that he had an option of a lease of the Public Baths was referred to the Finance Committee, with a request to him for further particulars of his proposals. PUBLIC WTORK& The Public Works Committee reported having rcnolvcd that Professor Findlay's report that the illuminating power of the gas supplied was 13.6 candle power, that a letter should be sent to the Company stating that the Council in future would require the gas supplied to bn of the prescribed illuminating power, namely, 15. candle power. With regard to letters from the Ministry of Health, Board of Trade and the Divisional Officer for South Wales area relating to the stocking of coal, it was resolved to ask coal merchants to urge customers who could do so to take in a good supply of coal while it could be had, a to ask the merchants to stock sufficient coal to meet the requirements of their smaller customers for the winter. Messrs. David Roberts and Scns having pointed out that the heavy charge (E8 10s.) for the March quarter for the water* supply to Ty'nllidiart was due to bursts having taken place owing to frost and increased pressure from thej ma.in, it wvi resolved that the charge for the March quarter should be reduced to one-third. At- tention having boon called to the obstruction and annoyance caused by motor cars left and often repaired in Queen's-road and North Parade, notices were ordered to be sent to MeC-rs. Jones Bros. and fhe. Aberystwyth Motor Compa.ny that no motor cars, must be left or repaired on public streets and that non-compliance with the notice would mean prosecution. It was resolved to ask the Col- lege authorities to replace the barbed wire fence adjoining the slope from Elm Tree- avenue to Plascrug with plain wire. Attention was called to the unsatisfactory state of Bridge street and other streets, especially after market and fair days, and the Borough Sur- veyor and Labour Superintendent were in- structed to confer and to engage the necessary rr.en for the proper cleaning and sweeping of the streets. Plan of a proposed garage at the back of 49, Marine-terrace for Mr. D. W. Teviotdale was not approved. The question of purchasing a motor water tank and lorry was referred to a sub-committee. The Slaughter House Superintendent was instruc- ted that in future all carcases and refuse should bo properly covered and not carried into the town in an exposed condition. A letter from Mr. H. Woodall, chairman of the Gas Company, with regard to quality of gas, stating that the remedy was to induce the Coal Controller to renew the pre-war ccWfl, was referred to the Committee A letter from Mr. H. N. Hunt, organiser of the National Amalgamated Wo-kers Union, submitting claims on behalf of members of the Union in the Corporation employ, was also re- ferred to the Committee. Alderman John Evans. who presented the re- port, explained that £ 150 had been received from the Road Board for road repairs and E200 more was expected. The report was adopted. ELECTRICITY UNDERTAKING. It was reported that a special committee had conferred Mr W. B. Ess-cn, managing director, and Mr E. P. Perkins, resident engint^er, of the Chiswick Electricity Supp'y Corporation Ltd. In the end the Committee could not recommend the Council to offer anything more than C23,000 for the under- taking. Mr Esson intimated that that offer could not be accented. The report was adopted. FINANCIAL. At a meerting of the Finance Committee a letter from Messrs. Roberts and Evans, on behalf of the University College of Wales, re- lating to a lease of St. John's Buildings, wa.s considerod and it was decided to visit the place. The question of proceeding with the erection of a large hall. or pavilion, on the site of 46, Marine-terrace, was deferred and a committee was appointed to negotiato for the purchase of No. 45. The Committee rosotlved to apply to the Ministry of Health for sanction to borrow the following Amount overspent' on Trefc-clian workmen's houses scheme, ecst of re-L-rcetirg 7 and 9 Penmaes- glas-road, cost of alterations at the Town Hall, and the purchase of 46 Marine-terrace. Consideration of the Surveyor's salary was deferred and a committee appointed to see him. The Surveyor was instructed to serve notice on the ownors of the Waterloo Hotel, the mortgagee. and insurance company to demolish th3 dangerous walls without delay. The hopp was expressed that the College authorities in carrying out alterations at the Cambrian FouncVy would have all tho old walls well cemented on the outside. It was recommended that the Council should not grant a lease of the Rink Picture House. The Registrar wrote that the College authori- ties intended improving the outside appearance of Cambrian Foundry when the interior work WThr"port w»s Tinted bj Mr. Barclay Jenkins and adopted. —.„- MR LLOYD GEORGE. On the proposition of Professor Edwards, seconded bv Mr. Rufus Williams, and supported bv Alderman Samuel, it was unanimously agreed to offer the freedom of the borough to the Prime Minister.
Mystery of Miss Cheadle. STILL N9 NEWS. The mystery surrounding the missing woman, Miss Cheadle, who is supposed to have been tho. onlv victim of the recent fire at the Waterloo Hydro, Aberystwyth, remains unsolved. The fullest inquiries have been mad" by her relatives and also by the police, and every possible step has been taken to ascertain whether she is still a ive. It is now presumed that the unfortunate lady perished. It will be remembered that she occupied a bedroom at the front of the build- ing, up a third flight of stair's, and that her main way out would have been down the cen- tral staircase. It was from the landing be 'ow her room that several visitors escaped over the balcony. Added to this is the fact she was in a state of health which rendered her powerless if she received the shock and the presumption is that, even if she knew that the Hotel was OB fire,' she would have been unafcle to save I The site of the Hydro is now offered for sale. An advertisement appears elsewhere.

The Colleges. ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE WINTER SESSION FUTURE OF ABERYSTWYTH THEOLOGICAL COLLEGE. After the war the forthcoming winter sess- ions will witness renewed activities on a larger scale than in previous sessions at the Univer- sity College of Wales and Calvinistic Meth- odist College, Aborystwyth, and the educa- tional reputation of the town will depend in a measure on tho fruition of the efforts which I are being made to develop and extend the facilities. The C-dlleges will re-open on October 1st. The session at the Theological College will bo of a residential character and Mrs T. Z. Jones has bean reappointed to her former post of matron. Since December 1915, the College has been utilised as an auxiliary hos- pital. During the war the Methodist CoHegM at Bala and Aberystwyth were joined, the first two session., having been held at Bala and the last two sessions at Aberystwyth. '^E'ach of the two colleges will now resume- separately with a full complement of students. At Aberystwyth the College will be carried on practically the same as before tho war. It is expected that there will at least be a score of ex-service men, for whom a modified entrance examination is being hold this week at Trevecca^ The temporary unification of Aborystwyth and Bala Colleges was accomplished owing to tho war in a way that many years of fruit- less discussion aind nag"iaiions had failad to settle. The successful results of the experiment, it was hoped, would have prevailed on the Methodists of North I Wales to agree to the permanent amalgama- tion of the two colleges at Aberystwyth in accordance with the original intention which __L_1-1.1. .h. the promoters naa in ffilna in cstauiumug College at Aberystwyth on its removal from Trevecoa. There is, however, no sign so far of the amalgamation being accepted. In fact, the policy of indecision has pro- voked the desire among members of the South Wales Association to remove the College from Aberystwyth to a more populous centre in South Walas. For sentimental reasons, there appears to be a strong desire that the Col- lege should again be definitely connected with Trevecca, the associations of which with the Connexion, it is claimed, being entitled to greater recognition than the location of a preparatory school. On the other hand, if removed, it will bo necessary that the Col- lege should be located in a constituent town of the University and that being so Cardiff or Swansea is suggested, particularly as the high rate of railway fares and proximity to tho bulk of the churches are factors which have to be considered. The question of re- moval and the provisions of the deed gift will be raised by Dr. C.vnddylan Jones at the next assembly of the South Wales Association. The number of students expected at Aber. vstwyth for the coming session is thirty-four. Tho appointment of a new secretary will bo considered by the Committee on September 25th at Talgarth. UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF WALES. The actual number of applicants for admis- sion to the University College of WTales for tho coming session is over 1,000. The num- ber of women students has had to be limited owing to the fact that no more than 300 can be accommodated at Alexandra Hall of Resi- dence and at the three houses in Victoria- terrace rented by the authorities). It is hoped that the now liostol for women, which is being provided by the adaptation of Nos. 40. 41, and 42, Marine-terrace will- be ready by Christ- mas. „ Owing to the exceptionally large number or students, difficulties have been encountered in finding sufficient accommodation for them in the lecture rooms and laboratories. Pa.rt of the Cambrian Foundry, bought by the auth- orities in June, will be ready for use in con- nection with the Agricultural Department next mffntli and it is hoped that the remain- der of the premises will be comploted by Christmas. The Department has been divided into two sections agriculturai and botany the former under the direction of Professor Abel Jones and the latter under Profer-sor Stapledon. It is probable that further developme/nts will follow in regard to agricultural chemistry, a section now under the supervision of Mr J. Jones Griffitli. The staff of the Agricultural Department is also likcily to be increased by future additional appointments. Nearly 100 advanced studonts in agriculture are expected with sovonty short course students. Dr. Walford Davies, director of music, assisted by a competent staff, will begin his lectures, with headquarters at 2, Marine-ter- raeft. Professor Zimmern and Mr Sidney HeVbert will also commence thoir series of lectures and discussions. At the next meet- ing of the College Council the vacant chairs of" Welsh and chemistry will be filled, com- pleting the professorial staff. Sir W. M. Ramsay, the distinguished writer on Eastern history, will lecture at tire College early in October. For the benefit of ex-service students and others who were unable to sit in June a special examination was held last week. An entrance examination is being held this week. Professor J. W. Marshall will continue as acting principal. I In "addition to the work done at the Col- lege, tutorial classes are being organised on an extensive scale in the counties affiliated to the College. Arrangements have already been made for holding classes at Aberystwyth, Goodwich, Haverfordwest, Pembroke Dock, Carmarthen, Cross Hands, Dolgelley, Aber- crave Brecon, Ystradgyniais, Cwmtwrch, and mother places. LODGINGS WANTED. One of the chief difficulties of the College authorities has been to find lodging accommo- dation for men students, of whom no fewer than 500 have served in the army and navy. Practically the whole town has been can vassed and the response has been barety ade- quate. It is hoped that townspeople will make ovary endeavour to assist the College in an exceptional crisis by providing lodgings for studonts. EDUCATIONAL GRANTS FOR EX-SERVICE MEN.
