r THE NEW MORALITY. r BIGAMY AND POLYGAMY TO AID MAN- [ POWER. LATEST KULTUR. During the war there have been frequent, but for the most part unverified, reports of German schemes for increasing future man-power by the promotion of bigamy and polygamy. We have now received (says The Tirntx) some trustworthy evidence in the shape of a pamphlet, in its second edition, which has been published this year by the firm of Oskar Muller, of Cologne. It is called "The Secondary Marriage as Only Means for the Rapid Creation of a New and Powerful Armv and the Purification of Moral- ity." The autficr, whose iuimo is Carl Hermann Torges, says that ho. is "well over 70 -,years of age, and that he lias travelled "almost every sea, and worked through life with open eyes." So he ''appeals for unprejudiced examination of his proposals, the adoption of which may be expected to lead logically to the desired improve- nients. The pamphlet is based upon the future neects of the German army, because "the military strength of a people depends in part upon the number of men able to bear arms." Germany'? heavy losses in the war must be made good, and ab the same time every effort must be be made to meet the decline in the birth-rate which was lamented before thh war. CANCER OF BACHELORDOM. The writer declares thai "the bachclordom of today is a cancer which must, be extirpated,' He denies that the expense of mairied life is the main reason why men remain unmarried, and he dealc at some length with the economic training of women for marriage. He then leads up to his iia Iii pi-opoitts with a chapter whieli declares rounrdly that the conception of im. morality is relative," and that "good rrioralsaro only what tho upper classes of society approve." The "facts" are said to give Germany "justi- fication in case of necessity, to put tiie stamp of morality upon what to day seems immoral." "In any ease, if the falling off in births is to be counteracted, bachelordom must be reduced to the minimum which circumstances require." I RING OF PATRIOTISM. I The main proposals are stated as follow:- Women in all classes of society who have reached a certain age are, m the interests of the Fatherland, not only authorised but called upon to enter into a secondary maniago, which is supported by personal inclination. Only a married man may be the object of this inclina- tion. and he must have the consent of his mar- ried wife. This conditions is nc(,,cEsary in order to prevent the m-echief which otherwise might surely be expected. The offspring of these lawful secondary mar- riages bear the name of their mother, and are handed over to the caro of the State, unless the mother assumes responsibility fo: them. They are to be regarded in every respect as fuily equal members of society. Th mothers wear a nar- row wedding ring as a sign of their patriotism. The secondary marriage can be dissolved as soon as its object has been attained. TWENTY YEARS' TRIAL. Elsewhere Ilerr Torges save that he thinks that the objects of his new institution can bo fulfilled in twenty years, and that secondary marriages might then be abolished. He ends his pamphlet as follows:- The difficulties consist solely in ethical scruples, which, notwithstanding the issue of the proper legislations by the State, will continue to operate until conscience has disposed of them. Thus this question becomes a religious question, which can be solved only with the help of the clergy. It rests, therefore, with the women rind the clergy, assisted by the State. to determine whether Germany shall be ablo not only to main- tain herself on her present pinnacle of morality, but by her own strength to stand up in the future as 111 the preterit to the pressure of enemies who arc increasing numerically.

LLANDUDNO LICENCEES SUMMONED. ALLEGED PREACHES OF CONTROL I BOARD ORDER.. CONSTABLES' VISITS. I (By Our Own ReporterJ I A number of cases brought under the Liquor Control Board Order were heard at the Llan- dudno Petty Sessions on Monday, and excited considerable' local interest/, the court. being crowded throughout the best part of the day Dr. Dalton, presided, and the other justices pre- sent were Messrs J. Adey Wells, E. A. Neele, Robert Roberts, T. W. Griffith, it. S. Chamber- lain, John Dowell, and John Owen OFFICERS' ROYAL TIME. The first case was that in which Mrs Bertha, Byrne, the proprietress of the North Western Hotel, was cJiargcd with unlawfully, by her servant, selling, on October 4th, intoxicating liquor to Mr jj C. Sackett, of Heaton Chapel, after nine o clock at night. 13he was also charged with permitting Mr Sackctt to consume the drink during prohibited hours. Mrs Alice Mastin, the acting barmaia, was charged as the per son who actually supplied Uio intoxicating 1 liquor. Mr J. J. Marks appeared to prosecute on be- half of the police, and Mr A. Graham (instructed by M essi's Chamberlain and JolineonJ represented I tiie defendants. -\Ir Marks taid that at 9.15 p.m. on October 4th, Police-constable Wm. Owen and Police-con- stable Ellis Roberta went to the North Western Hotel and proceeded to the billiard room,Where they engaged in a game of billiards Two gentlemen were conversing with the barmaid at the bar counter. At halt past nine Mr Sackett came to the billiard room and walked up to the bar. The barmaid came out and spoke to him and then supplied him with a whisky and soda. The gentleman placed u. silver coin on the counter and took the glass of whisky and soda in his hand. In a short time the barmaid, who had left the room, returned and handed to the customer the change for the drink. The officer ijien stepped up to the gentleman and the bar- maid and said who they were, and that they had seen the drink served. The barmaid said she was torry for what, had happened as she was not the barmaid, but was acting 46r her. Mr Marks Raid it might be contended that th-e person who served the liquor had no authority to do so. If persons other than t hose who were allowed to serve were permitted to sell in this haphazard way the lieencees must be held re- sponsible. Police-constable Owen, who is stationed at A bersoch, near Pwllheli, and Police-constable Ellis Roberts gave evidence on !he lines indi- cated by the prosecuting solicitor, and were cross-examined by Mr Graliam, in reply to whom they both stated that, acting on instructions, they made a tour of Llandudno public houses and hotels on the day in question. Police- constable Owen said they visited in all some twelve houses, but the other witness would not commit himself to an estimate of the number. The former said he mostly took stone ginger beer, but had two bottles of stout; the latier stated that in all he drank four bottles of beer. The officers agreed that Mr Sackctt told them he had a light to the whisky, but they did not recollect his telling them he was a Manchester man, and that in Manchester the closing hour was half-post nine o'clock Mr Graham, for the defence, slid tii,, Bench would have to consider the way in which the police evidence was brought forward, ihe two officers had had what might be described as a "held day," a "royal time," and it was ex- tremely probable that they had muddled Jup the facts in the matter of one house with the facts in another. What took place was that Mr Sackett earcvj to stay at the hotel, and, enter- ing the billiard room, and seeing that the clock was at half-past nine, this being live minutes in advance of the actual time, asked openly for a whisky and soda He was under the impression that tno losing hour was the same as in Man chester, at 9.3U. The magistrates dismissed the two cases against Mrs Byrne on payment of ,ugts. | "A TECHNICAL OFFENCE." I Mr Frederick Charles Sackett, Heaton Chapel, was next eiuiiged with cr hsummg drink during prohibited hours, end said that he pleaded mis- adventure. Giving evidence on his own behalf, Mr Sackett said he was staying at the North Western Hotel, and on the night in question went into the billiard room and up to the coun- ter. Mrs Mastin was speaking to a magistrate and another man at the time. So feeling that he was not having pror attention he called out sharply for a whisky and soda. He watched two men at the billiard table, and wondered what they were doing, as they were certainly not playing billiards. Later Mrs Mastin came back to him and said something about a gentle- man having left 2s for drinks, to which he re- plied that it was not him. He took a shilling out of his pocket and gave it to her to pay for his drink, and ehe gave him the change. The two men at the billiard table* then came up to him and said that he was drinking out of hours, to which he replied that he was not. They asked for his name and address, and he asked them for their authority, which they supplied, and he then gave his name and said that he was very sorry if lie had done anything wrong. There was no necessity for him to try and de feat the law as he had a flask of whisky in his bag upstairs. Tho next day he wrote out a statement, and sent it to the Chief Constable, and the following day he called upon him at his office in Carnarvon, when he (the Chief Con- stable) told him that he had received no report. Cross-examined by Mr Marks: You went, to the North Western Hotel after nine o'clock?— Yes. Ordered a whisky and soda ?- Yes. And paid for it?—Yes, later on. Did you put the money on the counter or in the barmaid's hand?—On the counter. Could the police officers see you do it?—If they were watching they could, and I presume they would be. As' soon as you paid, the officers came up to you 7-Yes, immediately. The Chairman said the Bench agreed that it was a technical offence, and ordered the defen- dant to pay the costs. I HOUSEKEEPER SUMMONED. Mrs Alice-Mastiii, who stated that she was housekeeper at the North Western Hotel was charged with supplying the intoxicating liquor. Giving evidence on her own behalf, she said fhat on the night in question Miss Jackson, the barmaid. was going out, and told her that two gentlemen had left 2s for drinks. When Mr Sackett came in she was talking to two magis- trates. She went to Mr Sackott and asked if he was one of the two gentlemen who had left 2s for drinks, and he said he was not; so she asked him if she should book the drink to him, to which he replied, "Oh, no, I have plenty of whisky upstairs if I want it, I'll pay you for it." When the officers came up she thought they were joking at the time until they pro- duced their warrant. She denied that she had refused to give them her name, but told them that if Mrs Byrne thought she ought to give it she would do so. Cross-examined by Mr Marks: Did Miss Jack- son tell you the names of the two gentlemen who had left money for drinks?—Yes, Mr Drake and Mr Knott. Did you know them?—Yes. Then you knew Mr Sackett had not left money ?—I knew Mr Drake the best of the two, hut did not know Mr Knott so well. The Chairman said defendant would be fined 10s and advocate's fee allowed. I CHARGES OF "TREATING." Mr E. W. Parry, licencee of the Carlton Buffet, Mostyn-strot, Llandudno, and Mrs Sophia Boschian, barmaid, were next charged with an offence against the No-treating Order. Mr i Marks again appeared for the prosecution, and I Mr Graham defended. P.C. Wm. Owen stated that k 12.20 on October 5th, in company with P.C. r-lis Roberts, he I went to the Carlton Buffet, and saw two ladies I come in. One sat down on fi chair and the other went to the counter and ordered two bottles of beer, and paid for them. After they had con- sumed the beer, one of the ladies went to another room, and the other went to the counter and* ordered two gins. After they had consumed the gin he went to the barmaid and charged her with allowing treating by serving two bottles of beer to one of the ladies whose name was Mrs Garrett, and she admitted doing so. and said she was very sorry that the thing had happened. He then asked for the licencee, and when he came J Mr Parry turned to the barmaid and said "Ja that so?" to which the barmaid replied, "Yes; I am very sorry it has happened." Cross-examined by Mr Graham, witness stated that ho could not hear the order given, could not see what was paid, or what change the lady got. Mr Graham: I put it to you that it is an absolute falsehood to say that the barmaid ad- j | mitted the offence ? Witness: No, sir, it is not. P.C. Ellis Roberts gave corroborative evi- dence. Mrs Sophia Bosohian, giving ovidence for the defence, said she had been at the Carhon Buffet since January 21st. Previous to that she had been a barmaid in Buxton and at the Grand Hotel, Llandudno, and was well acquainted with the No-treating Order. She remembered the two ladies coming into the bar, and the two men were there. Mr Graham: As wolvc.; in sheep's clothing, but whom we now know to be police-constables (laughter). Continuing Mrs Boschiar. said that when the ladies came in each ordered a bottle of beer, and when she took the beer to them there were two separate shillings on the counter. '1 he price of the bottle of Ler was 7d, and she gave diem 5d each change. She had not the slightest idea that they were treating each other. P.C. Roberts had a glass of beer and a bottle of beer him- self, ard the other constable had a soda water. She told the constables that if the offence had happened she was very sorry, but it had not happened to her knowledge Cross-exanni ed by Mr Marks, witness said she aid not see the money put down on the coun- ter, and tha+, it would be necessary to put more than one shilling down as the price of the drinks was Is ?d Mr E. W. Parry, the licencee, said that he was always very particular with regard to treat- ing There was no admission of guilt given by the barmaid in his presence. Mr Graham contended that no case had been made out as neither of the constables had heard a single order given for beer, and neither could Eay a single thing about the money or the change given All they could say was that two ladies had beer, and subsequently had gin. The Chairman: The cases are dismissed. ) The two women, Esther Earnshaw (23), Bloom- field-lane, Hale, and Sarah Garrett (53), London- road, who were referred to in the previous case, were summoned for the offence of treating and being treated. They were not present, but a letter from D. A. Garrett was read stating that the offence was committed, but unintentionally. They were fined JB1 each. The licencee of the Parade Hotel, Miss Mary O'Sullivan, and her sister, Miss J. O'Sullivan, wero charged with permitting treating and Mi- Philip Mothan, 2, Mos'.yn-crescent, Llandudno, was charged with _the offence of consuming liquor for which he had not paid. P.O. Owen stated that at tlwo o''olock on October 5th he wen-j to the Parade Hotel with P.C. Ellis Roberts, and' in the room behind the bar were two gentlemen sitting. One of then;, named Charles J ones, ordered two drinks, and the barmaid brought them into the room. They consisted cf a glass of beer and what he thought at the time was whisky. Mr Jones gave the barmaid a ten-shilling Treasury note to pay for the drinks, and fhc gave him the change. Wit- ness then told the barmaid that she was allow- ing treating, and she replied that she was very sorry, but that she was not the barmaid, sho Willi Miss O'Sullivan's sister. He then asked for the licencee, and when she came he told her what ha.d happened and said she was very sorry and hoped it would not be reported. he tdd her that it would be reported. Cross-examined, by lily- Graham for the de fence, witness said that the bar was separated from the room by a partition, and he could not see what was going on in the bar where the cash till was kept. He did not hear Mr Maughan order vermouth and pay for it as he went out of the loom; neither did he see what change Jones got out of the ten-shiiling note. Did you ask. Miss O'Sullivan to admit the charge of treating ?—Nothing of the kind; I charged her with permitting treating. Did you guess that whisky had been ordered? —Yes. And you guessed wroiig,-I-, appears so. P C. Elbe Roberts gave corroborative evidence and in cross-exumination suid he did not hear the cy-ier given for the s, but guessed it when the drinks were brought in. He saw the change given to Mr Jones, and heard one of the men say Good luck." Miss Sullivan, giving evidence for the de- fence, said that she was a sister to the licencee of the Parade Hotel. When tho police-officers came into ttia room Mr Maughan was there by himself, and some time afterwards Mr Jones came in and ordered a bottle of beer, and paid for it. He ordered another bottle of beer a little later and gave her a ten-shilling note, out of which she gave him 9s 6d change. Mr Maughan came in, and as he wa,s going out of tho room to the billiard room he ordered a ver- mouth and put sixpence on the till in the bar to pay for it. When he came back to the room she brought the vermouth to him, and the con stable then accused her of supplying him with whisky. Mr Graham, addressing the Bench* for the de- fence, said that Mr Maughan was a^ present engaged upon important munition work, and it- 1 would mean as least five or six pounds expenses as well as losing a couple of days for him to attend court that, day; so he had to depend upon what had. been said in court. It was perfectly obvious, ho submitted, from the way in which the constables haul spent uhe day that their memory and judgment could not be trusted. Their combined ev idence did not amount to any statement that two drinks had been ordered all they said was that they saw the drinks being brought in, an.d guessed that they were ordered. The Chairman: The cases are dismissed. A CHARGE WITHDRAWN. Mr Marks said that the charge against Mi Charles Jones, for whom Mr E. E. Bone ap- peared, would be withdrawn.

I CENTRAL WELSH BOARD. I I LORD SHEFFIELD WITHDRAWS HIS I RESIGNATION. Lord Sheffield presided at the half yearly meet- ing of the Central Wel&h Beard held at Shrews- bury, when fhe attendance included the Rev. D. H. Williams, vice-chairman. Sir Harry Roichei, Mr E. T. John. M.P., Principal T. F. Roberts, Principal Griffiths. Lord Sheffield movod that the Board express regret at the withdrawal fo' the present of Mr Flliher's Education Bill, but trusted that the Bill would be carried into law in its main educational .proposals at an early date The motion was carried. The Executive Committee in their report said it would be a source of great satisfaction to the members of the Board to lea. n that the number of pupils in attendance at Welsh intermediate gehoolc, oontiinued to grow. In 1895-6 the num- ber of pupils in their schools was 3367, and this year the number WUt; 18,250. They recom- mended that the appointment of a permanent woman inspector be deferred for the present, but that the specialist inspector in modiern languages, Miss Sadie Price, be appointed temporarily at a salary of E300 per annum. They recommended the re-appointment of the chief inspector, Mr William Edwards, for a further period of two years In respect to the Chairman, Lord Sheffield, who had announced has intention to sever his long .<)Yineetion wl,tli the Board, the oonumittee expressed the hope that his Lordship would be induced to reconsider his decision. Rev. D. H. WiilianM, ohairman of the Execu- tive Committee, moved the adoption of the re- port. Mr J. E. Powell, Wrexham, seconded. Lord Slieffield supported the adoptioai of the report. His Lordship ro,id he should think that out of the population of Wales about 24,000 were in one sort of secondary school, but seeing what was done in some Weisli counties lie as hope- ful of the number being increiised by f '-OO. but if they were to bring the secondiary schools with- in the reach of the poor more than they were now the most profitable way wouid not be to make all the schools free. In respect to his con- tinuing with the Board it would be churlish on his part after the kind way in which he had been pressed not to consent to continue to be associated with the Board.

NORTH WALES HEROES' MEMORIAL. IjORD KENYON S UJPEAL TO CllURCii- I ML-:N. At the Town Hall, Corwen, on Friday night, a public meeting was held in support of the above Memorial, the chair being occupied by Mr Howell J. Wuiams, London, Higti Sheriff of Merionethshire, who announced his i intention of subscribing £ 100 to the fund. Lord Kenyon, in the course of his address, re- ferred to some objections made to the scheme, and said there was one which touched him very closely, and it was an objection which was raised by many of his Church and Conservative friends, a great many of whom objected to the Memor- ial being zlofGciatcd with the University Coilege at Bangor on the ground that the colleges under the Disestablishment and Disendowment Act were named as the recipients of a part of the endowments which were to be taken from the Church. What be felt was that the University had never asked for a part of those funds, and so far as the University College of North Wales was concerned, though he had never canvassed the members of. thü Council, there was hardly a member, be he Churchman or Nonconformist, who would wish to see those funds devoted to the College, if he thought tha.L anyone on the Council N-ould suffer in his conscience by that I fact. Therefore, he would beg his Church friends to have patience and to wait. He did not believe this was going to happen, and he hoped that his Church friends would join with then, m bringing this National Memorial to a successful issue. He wrote to The Times some time ago, pointing out that if these funds are applied to the University Colleges he would take his name off the books of those institutions, and he was certain that many of his Church friends would follow that example. Not merely would this Memorial suffer, but the whole course of University education in Wales would be affected. University was the one thing which Noncon- formists and Churchmen had been able to sup- port oil tha same platform, realising that it was an institution which existed for the benefit of the nation, and if this union was going to be blasted as the result of a clause in the Disendow- ment Act, he said it was a sin and a shame (cheers). Why apply the funds to any body, why not pay the money over to commissioners, to Vhom would be given the task of disbursing it? It was to be regretted that this should prove a stumbling block to some of his Church friends who would not come into this movement, and they wanted to go: them in if they can. He had spoken, strongly on this matter, because he felt strongly, and he appealed to his Church friends to come in and support this national movement (cheers). Addresses were also delivered by Mr R. J. Thomas, Holyhead, and Professor Edward Ed- wards, Abcrystwyth. and a resolution was unani- mously passed pledging the meeting to support the movement. LIVERPOOL'S SUPPORT. I On Monday a meeting in support of the move- ment was h-?Tin the Central lIall, Liverpool, Mr David Jo>ies presiding. The speakers in- cluded Lord Kenycn. Sir Henry Jons, the Rev. T. C. Williams (Menai Bridge), Mr R. J. Thomas and others.
