FROM THE Editor's Chair. The War is the whole absorbing con- cern of every British citizen in these days. Local topics have been relegated to the background in the unity of the considera- tion that the motto of the hour is "United we stand." The political warfare has been settled by an armistice to which all classes and sections of the community have agreed, and which is to continue until the great war crisis has departed from our midst absolutely. Tile example of our Parliamentarians in the House of Commons has dismissed dissenions of all kind. The Front Oppcsition Benchers are, as one, with the Government in brushing one side party difference in the face of a great national peril. Whatever we may charge the Germans with, this we can say: that they have brought about a solidarity in this country which has never before been known. The Colonies, too, have indicated very emphatically that "blood is thicker than water," or in our homely Welsh phrase, Nes penelin na garddwn/' The way they have cheered us by their fraternal demonstratiQns for help to the Motherland in its extreme crisis are inspiring in manifold ways. For instance, of the Canadian gift of a million bags of flour ls great, if it be regarded merely from the monetary point of vieW, but is immensely more in the steadying influence it will have upon the feeling in regard to food supplies. This question of food stands, naturally, the uppermost in our thoughts. Already the panic in re- spect to any shortage has been abated, and there is no fear of failing supplies for many months to come. Last week we gave assurance that the continuity was real, as we based that assurance upon the high authority of these who had taken the matter in hand. It is inevitable that some items of domestic necessities must I rise in price. Sugar. in particular, be- cause our chief supplies of it come from the areas of the European battlefield, and during the war transport from those areas are not possible by any reasonable expectation. But the Canadian offer means more than the mere gift of lfour it means that. the Canadians regard the Atlantic as particularly safe for transport, and their confidence on this point should be reassuring enough for all who have been displaying an unnecessary timidity in these days. A great deal has been read, and much that is puzzling, about the moratorium in this great crisis. The term is used in the first place in respect to the power of the banks. When people deal with banks, and are seeking money therefrom, thpv have the choice to get what they want in notes or specie—that is, coins. Most of our simple folks ask for gold, and naturally there is a great demand for this essential in commerce. In an emer- gency like ,the present the banks, by the action of the powers contained in a moratorium, will not be compelled to pay in specie. This measure will safeguard that the country's coffers of gold will be economised, and as it is the foundation of our credit system, it is important to keep in the Bank of England the depository of the gold of the nation in a healthy condition. But there are other points of value worthy of every- one's consideration in an extended appli- cation of the moratorium, and it is that people who have money available will do good service to their country by con- tinuing to pay whatever debts they have. All household and establishment accounts should be met promptly. The circulation of money is absolutely necessary if em- ployment is to continue, and if tradesmen are to supply goods. We hear a great deal about patriotism these days, but people who pay their debts can show an equal amount of patriotism to those who have contributed to the Royal Appeal, and be more effective. All of us cannot render service with the troops, but we will be doing our duty as citizens if we keep our money circulated, enable wages to be paid, and help in that way to main- tain employment. Let us keep on in the normal way, and thus be true to our own country. At last, the East Glamorgan much- delayed list of Justices of the Peace has appeared. It has one name included which interests the Rhondda and which is a very excellent nomination. We were aware that the name of Alderman Morgan Williams was in the list when in inctiba, tion, and which has now been made public property. We rejoice at the fact that this level-headed Labour representative has been recognised. Mr. Williams has been known to the Rhondda for many years, and unhesitatingly we declare that no better allocation of honour could be made. All who have watched his Jong career as a County Councillor know how indefatigably he has performed his duties on the County Council of Glamorgan. As a member of the Secondary Education Committee, or on any other committee in which the Rhondda was interested, he has been unceasing in his efforts to promote its interests. Young men and women from the Rhondda who had entered for the Exhibition prizes of the County owe him an abiding debt of gratitude. We find also that the County Schools at Porth have invariably found a sincere advocate and well-wisher. The more the difficulties the more persistent has been his appli- cation for right and justice for the Rhondda aspirants. Many a forlorn hope lie has converted into a tangible success. He has a way with him in these efforts, a way which many of the younger men in the Labour representation might copy to great advantage. His winsomeness and tactics never fail, and the triumphs of diplomacy which we could recount to his credit are many and enduring. It is very certain that ffiese admirable qualities of manner and method will express them- selfes in equally  wav on thp, selfes in equally successful way on the Bench of the Rhondda. There are many issues before our courts when thoughtful men are called. upon to exiercise dis- cretionary powers in the adjudgment of cases. The Secretary of State has more than once circularised because justices, in exercising their summary jurisdiction, have failed in this discretion, particularly as regards mitigation of the penalties to which offenders may become liable on conviction. The courts are not merely penal in their function. They have a philanthropic and evangelical side. Re- formation more than detention is the true spirit which should rule in our Summary Jurisdiction Courts, and thi,s view, we are certain, will find in Alderman Morgan Williams an enthusiastic supporter. The scholarly Sir Edward Anwyl has been taken away from us with a. sudden- ness which has shocked the area of Welsh scholarship and learning. Undoubtedly the late Sir Edward was one of the greatest sons of Wales in the field of erudition and social activities. From his boyhood, at Chester, to the last days of his unceasing labour he was sustained by one great and noble inspiration, and that was to do his best for his native land. Among the academic communities he held a unique position. There were none who disputed his claim to the premier position of being the most versatile scholar of Wales. As a Professor at Aberystwytb lie astonished that great centre of learn- ing with his many-sided capacities on the college staff. While his metier, or rather his delight, was the literature and lan- guages side of academics; he was known to be capable of taking even mathematics of the most advanced character. He was, indeed, a genius double-first type as these fertile scholars are denominated. He had won distinction as a theologian, and as a Celtic scholar he stood par excellence in the front rank. The education of Wales owes a very great debt to the late Sir Edward. The progress which the County Schools has made during the last ten years, and their exaltation to the heights of admiration as, educational institutions, reflect upon the chairmanship of Sir Edward to such a measure as to claim from his Majesty his elevation to the Knighthood of the ^Jtnpire. His place in the sun will he difficult to fill, and more than one personality will be required to occupy efficiently the many roles that lie played in the Welsh societies which are working for the moral, religious and social progress of his native country. ?-?

Fall From a Train into the River Uak. "It's like letting a horse out to grass to let some cf these young colliers out tor a day," said the Coroner (Mr. M. Roberts Jones) at the inquest on Wednes- day at Caerleon on Fred A. Tilbey (25), collier, Treherbert, in-lio fell into the river from an excursion train at Newport. Walter Pe rev, Treherbert, said he and Tilhey bLught a bottle of whisky at Car- diff. Tilbey had drunk some of this un- diluted, and when the train stopped on New port Bridge he opened the door. The train started suddenly, and Tilbey dis-, appeared. A verdict of "Accidental was. returned.
