QNOTES OF TtI DAY • From our London Correspondent. I THE PEACE TREATY. Thoughtful men at home and abroad  at h01110 and abroad are beginning to realize that the peace treaty dictated to Germany will not do. It is impossible to keep in servitude « nation of 70 million people. It is im- possible to exact heavy indemnities from j a nation to which opportunities for in- | austrial and of commercial development j are denied. It is impossible to build an I enduring peace on foundations of avarice and vengeance. It is impossible to re- store tranquillity to Europe by violently severing millions of Germans from the parent stock and placing them unuer alien rule. The Peace Conference, dominated by su ffering France, in whose bosam the fire of hatred still burns fiercely, has shewn lamentable want of judgment in its plans for tho re-settlo- ment of the continent. Unless the terms dicb tcd to Germany are modified, this treaty will leave to Europe only a herit- age of woe. LLOYD GEORGE AND WILSON. WHAT has become of Mr. Lloyd George's undertaking that it would be a righteous peace P What has become of his repeated declarations that ¡ our quarrel was not with the German people but with the German military caste and the vainglorious Kaiser ? The Kaiser has fled into exile; the German despotism has given place to the German Republic; yet the peace terms could not have been harsher if the old order had remained. And where does President Wilson stand with his idealism, his faith in democracy, his Fourteen Points P As a former admirer of Wilson I deplore the contrast between his words in Washing- ton and his deeds in Paris. He and Lloyd George had a magnificent oppor- tunity in the Peaoe Conference. They have failed to grasp ÍG, and unless they t retrieve' the ground they have lost, His- tory will pronounce a severe condemna- tion upon. them. "To make the world safe for democracy"—that was one of President Wilson's ideals. But he and Lloyd George have been beaten by the cynical unenlightened diplomacy of Europe, with the result—unless a radical change is made in the Peace taty- that the world will bo made unsafe for democracy and safe cuiy for militarism. It the treaty remain unaltered, then the governing classes will have lost their last chance of redemption; and the only hope left to civilization will be the rise into power of the working-classes. As it stands the Treaty will never work, and unless it is profoundly changed it will j collapse in ruin in five or six years. THE SPEAKER. I T AST night the Speaker of the House of Commons was the guerit of the Parliamentary journalists at the Press Gallery dinner. Mr. Lowthor has been Speaker since 1905, and before that he was Deputy-Speaker for 10 years. He is about to resign his high office. His strong and cheerful personality; his integrity and efficiency, his urbane temper and sunny humour have been the pride of 5 ) Parliaments. He can bo stern but he is never unjust. Sanity of outlook and an eye for the comedy of human affairs pre- serve him alike from narrowness and from pomposity. His delightful humour plDys over Par 1 i a men t ary proceedings like sunlight 011 the, blue sea. Often has this precious gift made the angry ■ passions of f1; excited House dissolve in wholesome laughter. Histcry will have something to say of the consummate skill he displayed as chairman of the memor- • able conference on franchise reform—a conference that opened the door to the enfranchisement of women. Though in essence conservative, he stood revealed in that conference as belonging to the rare class of forward-looking statesmen "who know the season, when to take occasion by the hand, and make the bounds of freedom wider yet." When he quits the famous stage where he has been for so log a stately and gracious figure, he will take with him not only a stainless reputation, but the affection and the good wishes of all who have sat or served under him.

1 Mention was made the other day that in the early seventies there was a great ■ spiritualist boom at LIanelly, where Mr. J Foot Young held numerous seances, and at much personal cost and trouble secured the services of many of the best mediums in the country. Later on Mr. Young developed gifts as a dowser or water-finder, and published a book on the subject. Some of our readers may be interested to know that Mr. Young is still living in London at the advanced age of 82. He is infirm in body, but as keen as ever in occult matters."

Popular Inspector I PRESENTATION TO MR. J. B. I WILLIAMS. There was a large gathering of teachers at the Cardigan Council School on Satur- day when Mr. J. B. Williams, Llanelly, who has retired from the position of H.M. Inspector after nearly 40 years service, was presented with a silver tray and a silver-mounted biscuit barrel, both suitably inscribed. During the proceed- ings eloquent tributes were paid to the recipien.t by the teachers from all parts of the county. Mr. E. T. Thomas do- scribed him as an inspector with a won- derful gift of sympathy which explained why the children loved him. Mr. J. Lewis said that there were two j species of inspectors-ona sympathetic | trying to {ind out what the children knew, and the other unsympathetic try- ing to find out what they did not know, and often reporting on the negative quantity. Needless to say, Mr. Williams belonged to the first category. In responding, Mr. Williams said that he had always striven to secure the highest efficiency in all branches of school work, combined with the minimum of friction. When criticism was necessary, he introduced that of the stimulative and not the destructive kind. He would ask them to magnify the high position to which they had been called, for teaching was the noblest of professions and the teacher was the greatest of artists.

THE PEOPLES PARK. To the Editor of the "Star." Sir, I should like to draw the attention of someone in authority to the dangerous nuisance caused by straying horses in tho neighbourhood of the People's Park. From 15 to 20 animals aro put there at night to graze, but as they cannot find sufficient food, they wander about Coleshill terrace and other streets in the vicinity, trespassing in the gardens, damaging shrubs, etc. The so-called Paijc seems to be a training ground for horses, motor-car and' cycle driving, etc., and does not provide much pleasure for anyone else. I am, etc., RATEPAYER.

Box Cemetery. CHURCHES AND THE FORMER CARETAKER. The churches of Llanelly have been invited to furnish practical appreciation of the long and faithful services of Mr. David Morgan who recently relinquished the position of caretaker of the Box Cemetery. Mr. Morgan held the position for over 44 years, and has now retired owing to advancing age-he is 77. The Cemetery Committee have made a grant of £ 25 to their old official and express tho hope that the churches will supple- ment this by generous contributions. The remuneration received by Mr Morgan during all his years of service was al- ways on a very modest scale, so that this appeal can now he made with all the greater confidence. The matter will come before all the churches in duo course, and no doubt there will be a generous response.

"Wales is about as famous for its pottery as for its coal. Swansea and Nantgsrw china have a world-wide re- pute, and fetch fabulous prices. Llanelly pottery is also known further afield than most people think. The following anec- dote demonstrates this. Some years ago a Cardiff man was in Portugal, and when j passing a curiosity shop saw some novel ware that pleased him so much that he bought a quantity and brought it home in triumph. Some time later he was showing his new treasure to an expert, j when the latter paralysed him by re- I marking, "Oh, I see, you have some ) Llanelly ware here

Cymanfa Ganu I CONGREGATIONALISTS ANNUAL FESTIVAL. Tho annual Cymanfa Ganu of the Congregationalists of Llanelly was held at the Market Hall on Tuesday. There was a large attendance all day, especially in the evening, when the capacity of the spacious hall was tared to its utmost ex- tent. Appended is a list of )fficials:- Conductor: Mr. Ifor Owen, A.R.C.O.. L.R.A.M., Swansea; orchestral conduc- tor: Mr. W. Richards; secretary: Mr. R. W. Davies, Cleveland Buildings; treas- urer: Mr. L. W. Adams; chairman of committee for arrangements: Mr. J. Jones, Lloyd street. Mr D. Grant Evans (Siloah) had worked hard conducting the rehearsals, as did also Mr Morris Davies, the children's catechiser. Mr. Robert Charles acted as accompanist. At the morning service, at which Mr. L. W. Adams presided, in addition to the arranged programme, an item "Parod yw fy nghalon," was rendered by eight members of the .Tabernacle Children's Choir. The piece went remarkably well, and evoked much applause from the crowded audience. At the afternoon meeting, in the ab- sence of Mr. David Harries, the chair was occupied by the Rev. Stephens, late of Brynteg. The service was introduced by the Rev. John Adams, of Swansea. The chief speaker was the Rev. J. Davies, Berea. The eight girls of the Tabernacle Choir again gave an excellent rendering of "Y golomen Nef," by special request; and a duet was also sung by two members of the Capel Als choir. An anthem entitled "Mor Hawddgar yw Dy Bebyll" (How amiable are Thy Taber- nacles), which was most impressive, was sung at both the afternoon and evening meetings.. The evening service was presided over by Mr. Joseph Roberts, J.P. Rev. D. J. Davies, Capel Als, opened the pro- ceedings. Undoubtedly the most inspir- ing item of the programme was that im- mortal chorus—Handel's "Hallelujah," which was sung with great spirit by all. Solos were rendered by Mr. Tom Thomas. Lloyd street, and Mr. Sidney Charles. Siloah, the speaker being tho Rev. Hugh son-Jones, Dock Chapel. Mr. David Harries' tune for the children "Tesu bua'r gan," was by request, also added to tho evening programme- Several popular hymn tunes were sung by the audience including 'St. Elizabeth,' "Florence," and "Glantawe." Altogether, the Gymanfa proved a huge success, and was one of the best ever held at Llanelly. Mr. Ifor Owen, the conductor, made his first public appear- ance on this occasion. He possesses all the essentials of a good conductor; and was ably supported by the accompanist. Mr Charles.

MAURICE EVERY CONCERT. In our issue of May 10th therc appeared a letter above the name of "Subscriber." Wo are sorry to learn that h. has caused some amount of misapprehension. In fairness to the committee wc- desire to state that the facts of the case justify the attitude that they have oaken. The I concert was organized as the result of a direct appeal from Mr. Every himself. Mr. Every expressed an ardent wish to n arde l t wish to obtain a course of trainir-g at the Royal Academy, and solicited aid in order that his wish might he gratified- H.?ga':Tc the members of the committee the assurance that he was going to the academy to obtain a full course j whether the concert proved finan- cmlly successful or not, as he was not without the ready cash. All he wanted was a little assistance to enable him to do so. On this "strict understanding" the complimentary concert was arranged and an appeal for donations made to the public. The result of the concert has been made known, and all the committee require of. Mr. Every is to fulfil his obli- gations to them as a committee who have btoured hard and long en his behalf, and to those who have contributed. The committee regard themselves as trustees tc those w ho subscribed in money and in kind, and as such they mean to loyally net. They deem this course expedient I also on account of the fact that should I occasion arise the case of a promising young man cr woman might not be pre- judiccd on some future occasion.

Thefts at BuTy Port. I J.. -c.. J.J. I.; V .c.# .Mo., À. BOY SENT TO AN INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL. At the Juvenile Police Court on Thurs- day, James Green, 18, New street, Burry Port, was charged with stealing from the Burry Port Boys' School two loaves of broad and a packet cf sweets. A constable gave evidence of seeing the defendant at his house in New street. He'cautioned him, and stated that he was making inquiries about some boys :'leaking and entering Burry Port Boys School. When charged he replied "I and another boy went to the school through the fanlight. In the board room 1 we saw two loaves and a packet of sweets. I took one lcnf, and the lad who accompanied me took the other. The defendant's father stated he had no control over the boy. Sept..Jones reported ether convictions of larceny against the defendant. Supt. Jones: When the boy was pre- viously charged, the father stated the hoy was in the habit of sleeping out. On one occasion he had been sleeping out a week and he (the father) had no idea, where he was. The father stated he would like the defendant to be sent to an industrial school. A constable stated that they 'had often been searching for the defendant, who used to sleep out in pig-styes and hay- stacks. Defendant was .sent to an Industrial School until he attained the age of 16 years.

A TRIMSARAN BABY. I At the Police Court on Wednesday, Selina Rocs, Old Sardis, Trimsaran, ap- I plied for an affiliation order against Evan Davies, 1, Sandfield row, Burry Port.

Evidence was given by Thomas Rosser as to his having seen the parties to- gether pne night. Other witnesses having been called, the Bench failed to agree, and the case 1 was adjourned.

The Last "Buckshee." ———— PRESENTATION AT STEBONHEATH. To signalize the clearing out of Stebon- heath Hospital a "buckshee" dance was held on Wednesday night when an invi- tation was extended to discharged sol- diers and sailors in particular. There was a good attendance and dancing was indulged in until past midnight. During an interval a pleasant ceremony was per- formed, the Matron (Miss E. Yates) be- ing presented by Mr. Morris (secretary), with a gold brooch in the form of an ivy I leave with the letters "D.S. and S in enamel, by the local branch of the,Dis- charged Soldiers and Sailors Federation. h making the presentation, Mr, Morris referred in eulogistic terms to the re- cipient, <ind specelies -m-ere also delivered by two other discharged soldiers, each of whom expressed the appreciation of t::e local "hays" who had been obliged to get treatment at Stebonheath. The Matron, who was enthusiasically reeoived, suitably acknowledged the gift.

PHA5SE FOR A LOCAL VOCAL!ST. Mr. Sidney Charl es appears to have scored heavily at the recent concert at Ammanford. We take the following ex- tract from the "Amman Valley Chronicle" :— "Mr. Sydney Charles, the "khaki" winner of the tencr solo at the Aber- ystwyth National Eisteddfod, possesses a very flexible voice, of excellent texture and remarkable width of compass. His interpretation of his songs clearly indi- cated that he had been inspired by the music he sang, and had been able to enter into the "soul" of it. "Lend me your aid,' from Gounod's "Irene," is ad- mitted on all hands to constitute a gooa test. Rarely, if ever, have its many beauties been unfolded to such advantage on the local platform, and the apprecia- tion was warm and sincere. In response tc. the well-merited encore, "Vale" was given, the style being again delightful. The treatment of "Eleonore" (Coleridge- Taylor) was characterised by beautiful tone and perfect phrasing throughout. The famous composer's magnificent song received full justice a-t his hands. With an exquisite rendering of "For you alone" (Geehl) Mr. Charles took leave of. his audience, after having considerably ennanced .an already enviable reputation.

DEATH OF MR. LEWIS WILLIAMS. I At Irvermay, Brynmor road, Llanelly. en Tuesday, the death took place of an old inhabitant in the person of Mr Lewis "1' n- .ll' f Williams.

INTER-CLUB MATCH. I On Tuesday evening last the Conser- vative Club, Llanelly, visited the Safe- bury Conservative Club, Swansea, for the purpose of playing the return match in billiards, whist, cribbage and skittles. A most enjoyable, and, from the Llanelly point of view, a successful evening was spent, Llanelly winning two matches, losing one, and drawing the fourth. Scores :— Llanelly Billiards, 5 games. Swansea 2 games (937 to 741); Cribbage, Llanelly, 9 games, Swansea 6 games; Whist: Llanelly, games, Swansea 9: Skittles: Swansea won—points not to hand.

Tlvs was seconded by the Vice-Charman (Mr. J. W. Griffiths), and supported bv the Secretary (Mr. W. G. Woolley). The proceedings terminated with the singing of the National Anthem.

Sydney Treliarne, mentioned in it. This gallant Private has been missing for some time, and his parents who live in Brynmor road, would feel grateful if the person would kindly call and see them. Fifty years ago yesterday, a notice ap- peared in the "Western Mail" of a new fast train service being established be- tween Llanelly and London. "It is in- tended," so a wondering world was in- formed, "to go to London and return again to Llanelly in one day, though of course, the time will be short in the Mcropolis." A Welsh grocer ii A Welsh grocer wr.s worried by people coming into his shop merely to ask the time. He decided to stop the nuisancé, and asked one of his travellers to supply him with a clock. This was placed m a conspicuous position In the wndow. When the traveller called again he asked if the clock had the desired effect. "Well, not exactly," replied the grocer, sorrowfully; "the blooming people come in now to ask me if the clock is right."
