[ IN THE LOBBY. I WHAT BARS THE WAY ? I (From our Lobby Correspondent). j Behind all the excitement and passion pre- vailing through the House, moderate men are still engaged in attempting to avert disaster, and the question is being generally asked, "What is it that bars the way to settlement?" It has been several times alleged, and quite recently a Lon- don newspaper repeated the allegation in detail, that there is in existence a written compact, be- tween the Government and the Irish Nationalists, and that the Government dare not face the publi- cation of this document, which would follow upon their failure to fulfil tho compact therein em- bodied. I have, not personally any knowledge as to the merits of this contention, but the fact re- mains that it is being increasing'y widely held, and it certainty does appear that there must be some extraordinary stumbling-block in the way of peaceful settlement. Mr Asquith has offered concessions which mako his original propo.sitions quite ui,.Tuitablo; Uni&nists have offered even greater concessions, and just before the Army crisis, the essential point of difference appeared to be only the question whether if Ulster ac- cepted temporary exclusion her people should at the end of tho six years decide their future des- tiny yoluntarily instead of being automatically forced into subjection to the Irish Nationalist misrule, which they have armed and disciplined' themselves to resist. If this is the correct view then the difficulty it embodies is certainly not a matter in connection with which civil war and the integrity of the R.rmcd forces of the land should be risked. I AUTRES TEMPS, AUTRES MOEURS. I A few years ago the people of this country would not have supported for an instant such a. situation as I have described and which the Gov- ernment are prolonging. And .similar'y a. few yea.rs ago the. spectacle of a Ministerial resigna- tion being offered in the House of Commons, and declined, would mover have been seen. The vuiiai and proper course in such a matter as this, is for the Minister concerned, privately to consult his chief and for the head of the Government to mako any statement he may consider to be neces- sary. But, Mr Asquith and Colonel Seely were out for effect this week. The explanation is simple. If Colonel Seely went because of the attempted misuse of the Army—which, after all, ia the real source of tho trouble—obviously Mr Churchill would have to go also because of the manner in which he associated the Fleet with the attempt to provoke an outburst in Ireland, which would be misrepresented to the a dvantage of the Government. And Lord Morley, who, in the absence of Lord Crewe, acts as !.eader of the Government in the Upper Chamber, Wa. ,Also associated with the affair in its later developments, in such a. way that his resignation would pro- bably have been involved. The-sa facts are, to my mind, tho explanation of why Colonel Seely was offered up for sacrifice, and the sacrificial knife transformed into an ohvo branch as it de- scended upon him. NOT TO BE EXPECTED. I It was rea.liy not to be expected that after en- tering into the dcr(Joditable compact with the avowed enemies of Britain, sacrificing the Con- stitution in the interest of that compact, and! risking inter,neoine strife, all for the solo pur- pose of maintaining themselves by means of a mercenary vote in positions which they no longer hold by the will of the people, the Government would permit any Member of the Cabinet to adopt any course that would imperil their exist- ence. No matter how much .any member of the Ministry may do tha.t which is wrong, you may depend upon it that his colleagues will always bo ready to admit, and persuade people that it is right if their own interests are imperilled. The present Administration has transformed the old motto "Government of tho people, by the people, for the people," into "Government of the people, by the Government, for the Government

I LOCAL AMUSEMENTS. I COUNTY THEATRE, BANGOR. I This week, at the County Theatre, the pictures and entertainers combine to present a perform- ance which embraces more than usual variety. Ned Vokes. musical comedian, with droll say- ings and antics, soon sets the audience in good humour. His performances on the various musical instruments are distinctly clever. The young lady who Bings illustrated songs has re- ceived a cordial reception, especially after her rendering of the bailad, "When we were be a." Charles Bradford, a bright and breezy comedian, is responsible for much mirth by means of his mannerisms, and he scores with his rendering of "We all joined in J¡e chorus" and The Marri- age Alphabet." The chief attraction is provided by "La Vie," who gives graceful and artistic panel poses. She depicts many famous statues the the beauty of the impersonations being enhanced by the limelight effects. Her representation6 in- dude" Nydia, the blind flower girl," "Andro- meda chained to tho rook," "Geni and the Swan," "Marii horse," "Melody, an Eastern lliairp-player," J ane Shore" (three different poses) "Joan of Arc burnt at the stake, the fire scene in the last-named being most realis- tic. The picture progrnmme on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, included "The Stolen Treaty," "Pimple, tile Sport," "Our Parents-in-law," and "The Black Ball." All the turns appear throughout the week. To-night and to-morrow night, the following films will be af'cwn:—"The Greater Love, "Tho Midn Ight Message," Aunts too many," and "Caste" (the star picture). Mr Haro has secured an excellent attraction for next week—Mr and Mrs Ernest Vaughan's Com- pany, in the romantic Western play, "The Plri Outlaw," from the pm of that popular authoress, Mrs F. G. Kimberley. The play is one which ap- peals to all classes, dealing as it docs with tho life and custom among-st the Cowboys and In- dians in the Far West. It was originally pro- duced in Manchester 18 months ago, and has since completed its sixth visit to that city. The company is a strong one, including several well- known artistes, with Cowboys and Indians from tho Arizona ranch. THE PALACE. I The programme of pictures presented at this comfortable picture hall this week is a compre- hensive one. Both humour and tragedy are in- terspersed. and the efforts of the management to provide aU the latest and newest films are fully appreciated by the audiences. The variety turn is given by Harpe and Har- per, who arc adepts with numerous musical in- struments, inoluding the harp. They also feature tho revolving tubapboHes which is oapable of pro- ducing charming musical effects. It is a capital turn. The picturce screened on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, included "The Secret of the Black Mask" (star}, "Pioneers' Reward," "Sheriff's Brother," and "Matrimonial Economy" (comic), To-night and to-morrow, the following pictures will be shown:—"The Magistrate's Honour," "The Engineer's Daughter," Max as a Chiro- podist," otc., etc., while Harpe and Harper will continue their performance throughout the week. Mr Churchill, addressing the audience, on Wed- nesday, Baid he felt gratified at the patronage which was being extended to him. He inti- I mated that he would be at all times .ready to do what he could, by means of the Picture Palace, to help any deserving- oharity in the city (cheers). The matinee performances, it may be mention- ed, are at present only in experimental stage. They are held on Monday, Wednesday, and Satur- day y afternoons, and tea is provided freo to those in the 4d, 6d, and 9d seats. The manage- ment might well consider whether it would not be more profitable to hold a matinee on Friday (market day in Bangor), instead of Monday. Next week>'s entertainment will be provided by Percy Korah and his two boys, comedians, dan- cers, and vocalists, in addition to the pictures, which include "Fruits of Vengeance" (drama), "Younger Sister" (comic), and educative films of "Marseilles" and "From Lausanne to Mon- treux. THE h PICTUREDROME. I Over yuiJO loot. of undiluted enjoyment is beinig shown at the Picturedrome ever" y even- ing this week. The audiences witness a suc- cession of dramas, instruction films, and what in common parlance are known as "rib ticklers." On Monday and Tuesday one of the chief films was In the Hands of the Brigands," with a story rather out of the usual run for the chief of the brigands turns agalimdb his own band in order to rescue a fair captive, and eventually he sacrifices his life. In addition to this was shown "The Black Ball," a German film of more than averaigo merit, though the usual "chase"— scarcely a picture is without a chase of some sort — is slightly overdone. On Wednesday and Thursday the patrons witnessed the thrilling drann.a eutitloed "The Child Mother," and to-night and to-morrow night The Old Melody," another powerful drama of intense human interest, will be shown. Misa Una Reynolds, a male impersonator, is appearing I during- the week. She has a number of tun.e- ful ditties, ono with a curious handclap obligatto. Next week the attractions in the film line will be: Monday and Tuesday, "The Gold 1' a 3000 ft. drama; Wednesday and Thurs- Cross,"Self Cc-nvicted;" and Friday and Satur- day, I ,e's C L iw. Mr (yI "The Grip of the Eagle's CLaw." Mr Oodman has secured the services for the week of Sandy White, the original Scotsman, at the piano, who has just concluded a Moss and Stoll tour, and has a budget of new songs. Arrangements are being made to show tho Grand National.

WELSH FREE CHURCHES-I PROPOSAL FOR CLOSER UNION. I 'TOO MANY ORDAINED MINISTERS." I The North Wales Federaition of Free Church Councils held its annual meetings yesterday at Denbigh, this being described by its promoters as the last, "barring accidents," before t.ho pass- ing into law of tho Disestablishment Bill. Ae president for the year the chair was occupied by the Rev. O. L. Roberts (Liverpool). An Engiiah conference took place in the morn- J ing for a discussion of the subject on "Can tho Free Churches bo brought into closer union Jor the purpose of co-operation?" In introducing the subject the Rev. J. Surbiton Jone3 (Pwllheli) touched: upon the suggestions reoolltly made in more than one quarter for se- curing a larger amount of co-operation. One of them had relation, to a joint hymn-book. He recognised that sttoh a hymn-book would be a great aid to co-operation, and lie would gladdy welcome tho Established Church into the ulnion exoept that lie did not think she was ready for it (laughter). "TOO MANY MINISTERS." I The Rev. Thomas Hughes (Llandudno) advo- cated better arrangements for the tra-imng of candidatas for ,tho ministry, and the exercise of greater oaro in accepting nueh candidates. As a, matter of faot he believed: that they had too milnv ordained ministers, and that but for the Free Churches would have come much closer to- gether. The Rev. James Jones {Denbigh) denounced tho denominational jealousy which led! to the ap- pointment of men to public offices on grounds other than merit (hoar, hear). The President, referring to some of tho points raised), thought it a fundamental error on the part of that federation when at the outeot of its career it insisted upon having a joint Com- munion service in connection with their annual meetings. It was a perfectly wrong step to take, because it placed their Baptist friends under the necessity of saying that they could not join. After further discussion a resolution was adopted asking tho executive to take measures to inaugurate a movement for realising ,a closer union and to arrange, in coin junction with tho various connexions, for tho holding of a repre- sentative conference. VETERAN SUNDAY SCHOLARS. I At the close of the session the medals pre- sented by Miss Gee to the oldeirt Sunday sehol.ars in Wales were awarded as follows: Mrs Eliza- beth James, Waenfelen Farm, Pontrhydfondlg- aid (95), having attended Sunday School for 92 year3; Mrs Annie-Davis, Talybont, Conway (98), with an attendance of 88 years Mrs Arm Jones, Nantgaredig (90), with an attendance of 87 years; Mr Evan Evans, Caopwll-heulog, A bereooh Car- narvonshire (88), with an attendance of 84 years; Mr Robert Thomas, Tyddynllywarch, Llanfwrog, Anglesey (88), with an attendance of 83 years.
