ROYAL GWENT WELSH
SINGERS ARE COMING

The fame of Welsh choral singing
became world wide, when in 1872 a
mixed choir CONSISTING mainly of
Welsh village folk, under the leader
ship of Caradog Griffith Rhys Jones)
won the Crystal Palace Company's
IS, 500 CHALLENGE trophy and cash
in the following year, when he same
choir under the same leader again
won the trophy, beating the London
choir, known then as the Paris Prize
Choir, under the leadership of Mr..
Proudman. The sons of The princi-
pality have ever since maintained the
fame and ever enhanced the standard
established and set by the Crystal
Palace victories.
OF all the Welsh musical organiza-
tons, the Royal Gwent Welsh Singers
has been the first and foremost, not
only TO maintain the fame, but to sci
| standard to Welsh or any other
choral singing that has never yet beer
excelled.
The visits of the Royal Gwen
Welsh Singers is by no means new
venture. Indeed. it is now a matter
of history. Americans were first thrill
led by these singers from the land o
song as early as 1898, when two
Welsh choruses from Wales won frs
prizes at the Worlds Fair, Chicago
The Royal Gwent Singers stands
and sings-before the world today a
the unsurpassed organization of it
kind, and, incidentally, as the STANDARD
bearer through all lands of the super
iority of the Welsh nation as nation
of singers. 1t would be a Difficult
task to analyze this fact, but it can b
realized more easily by attending thei

satisfaction that the governor was

More Indepen .ence.

The end of the war does not seem
In sight, yet agents Of Europe are al
ready at work seeking 10 prepare for
the restoration of its former trade
in this country when peace is estab-
lisbed. But they are meeting with dis
enlargement
For instance, Gloverville, N. Y, is
now producing a thin kid glove which
hitherto has been manufactured exclu-
sively abroad. One of these agents has
discovered TO his chagrin that it is
not only better but cheaper than the
imported article. A fine grade of
laboratory glass heretofore obtainable
only from European manufacturers, is
being made at Corning, n. Y. At pres
ent the cost of production exceeds the
cost in Europe, but with the proper de-
gree of protection there is little doubt
that the American article would in a
short time command the home market.
These are only instances of what is
happening in American trade and in
dustry as the result of the stoppage Of
much American importation from Eu-
rope. This is a movement that can be
made permanent and will result in
great profit to the country If congress
will but enact the legislation necessary
to foster 1t.

nounced in well-modulated tones.
'Oh. show him upT' Miss Winough-

had vanished she shot a swift smile at
her companion. Speak of the
devil" she said good-naturedly.
"Oh. he isn't the devil" Georgy re-
piled More of a snake, think. &"
There was certainly no reason TO doubt
her extreme dislike of the gentleman
who was at that moment waiting be
low.
Ethers hand was on the doorknob:
but she hesitated long enough 10 say
to Georgy:

amuse him-there's good girl.''

he wants to be amused he can read
Punch" AID as she spoke she slipped
off her perch on the chair-arm and
started for the door through which
Brewster had disappeared
Don't be rude to him, please,
Georgy!" Miss Wllloughby entreated
She knew that Georgy and Mr.. Street
man must meet; and she could not re-
frain from trying to smooth the way
for her guest.
''Oh, I'll be polite enough--in my
own way" Georgy replied grimly
She was well aware that she was an
enfant terrible; and she often took a
mischievous delight in shocking people
by some unconventionality.
Ethel Willoughby had already closed
her boudoir door behind her; hut
Georgy had not yet reached the hall
before Brewster returned to usher in
the caller, who was close upon his
heels.

But Georgy was decidedly cold to

pausing in her hasty exit from his dis
tasteful presence. "Ethels dressing"
she told him hurriedly. "She'll be

she promptly left Sreetman to his
own devices.

ENGLISH GAIN KEY
TO IMPORTANT BASE
Possession of Pozieres Places
Plateau Under British Guns.
ENDS A FOUR-DAY BATTLE
Last Of Three German StronghoIds Re-
duced by English Smashing Attacks
NO Further Fighting Reported
by London War Office.

London, July 2S.-Following official
announcement both from London and
Berlin of the capture of the importan.
village of Pozieres, the British war
office reported in its statement that
there was no further fighting of any
consequence. This is taken TO mean
that the Germans either have been un-
able to get organized for counter-at-
tack or do not contemplatesany.
The capture Of Pozieres came after
four days of terrible fighting from
house TO house in the little village.
There is scarcely a house in the viii
lage In which death has not been dealt
or received. The capture of the posi-
ton was entirely the work of the Aus
tralians. 1t was their first big effort
on the western front.
The possession gives the British
troops domination of the highest point
overlooking the plateau on which the
German lines extend TO the eastward.
The British are now busily CONSOLE
dating the position. Elsewhere on the
British front there were only artillery
duels and local fighting.
The British secretary of war, David
Lloyd-George, in a published state
ment, shows the importance the Ger
mans attached to the retention of
Pozieres by quoting from a German
divisional order issued at Contalmai-
son on July l, as follows:
Furthermore. the conversion OF viii
lagos into strong points is of the great
est Importance. Such villages are
POzieres, Contamination ana the two
Bazentins and Longueval."
Secretary Lloyd-George points out
that with the capture of Pozieres the
last Of these villages has fallen into
the allies hands. He further points
out that the German claim of the re-
p'slse of an attack on Trones wood
must be a clerical error, as Trones
wood has been In British possession
since July IA.

Business and Politics.

with the opening of the campaign
President Wilson win find that bust
ness and politics are one and cannot
be separated even TO re-elect him and
try to save his party.
The politics that makes and keeps
business and gives prosperity TO the
people and the country is the politics
the American people want and will
have.
The prosperity for people and coun-
try that comes through the business re-
enforced by protective tariff is the
condition the country needs, the peo-
pie must have-and will get.
The election of Mr.. Wilson came
about because of the faith the coun-
try has in the protective tariff princi-
pie.
The politics that makes business, and
the business that makes prosperity, is
the politics they want in their business
and the kind of business they must
have In their politics.

WILL Do NO GOOD
Democratic Party's Change Of
Heart Is Futile.
People Are Tired of Validating Policy
Which Has characterized the Adj
ministration, and Verdict Is as
Good as Pronounced.

A few months ago. In one Of those
frank, open-hearted, confess-every-
Ting talks for which President Will
son has become celebrated, the presi-
dent explained to a listening public
that he had changed his mind about
some things pertaining to questions
Of national politics. He explained
that for one thing he had changed
his way of thinking about putting the
country in a better status of prepared
ness for a possible war involvement.
Having been given the straight tip
about the presidents change of mind,
TIE Democratic majority in congress
also underwent a change of mind. In
proof there were introduced appropria-
tion bills which, according to a state
ment by Chairman Fitzgerald of the
house committee on appropriations,
carried an aggregate of more than
1922, 100000 for defense purposes.
And isn't that a radical change Of
mind for party which, when it came
into power in 1913 cut down the navy
program to one battleship year and
scrimped and squeezed and pared and
haggled over every proposition to
strengthen the army and navy. The
president. back in those days. was the
main spokesman for the little-army
and tho little-navy people. He has
not only changed his mind on this
question of preparedness, but his
ideals have expanded continuously.
If there is lurking somewhere in
the recesses of this same Democratic
mind, that has been subjected TO such
astounding changes, the idea that the
aforesaid changes will save the afore-
mentioned Democratic party from the
down-and-out verdict, the idea is NOR
tai error. The Democrats in congress,
and the president along with them,
have hit the sawdust trail and hit 1t
hard. But the fruits of repentance
are too late for salvation.

and regarded her admiringly. Miss
Willoughby's fair hair had Just the
hint of red in it that was at the same
time Georges despair and delight.
And Ethel was far enough past the
schoolgirl age to have lost that angu-
larity which Georgy still possessed
and loathed. As for coloring, they
both showed the healthy glow which
IS the distinguishing mark of young
Englishwomen of the upper class.
You see," said Georgy, I'm afraid
I'm going to be awfully presumptu-
GUS"
''Nonsenser' Ethel interrupted. "You
couldn't be that when you and your
father have beer so very good to me.
Come on. Out with it!'
1t was true that Ethel Willoughby
felt that she was deeply in the debt
of the Wagstaffs-botb father and
daughter. Before entering their house
bold as Georges gOyerness she had
known them upon footing OF social
equality. But fortune had frowned
upon her. And when circumstances
hsd become most pressing Sir George
had come to her relief with the pro-
posal that she undertake the guidance
of his somewhat difficult daughter. It
was not that Georgy was greatly diff
ferent from other girls OF the impress
sionable age. But Sir Georges public
duties left him little time to devote TO
the upbringing Of his motberless child.
And it had struck him that Ethel
Wilioughby was a person who at the
same time would be able to sympathize
with Georgy's impulses and direct
them into the proper channels.
What's on your mind, Georgy?"
Miss WlIlOughby asked again, as the
girl still hesitated-

CHAPTER /.
Just a Hin, of Scandal.

Georgy Wagstaff sauntered into Miss
Ethel Willoughby's sitting room, at
tired in the daintiest and fullest of
summer costumes. Georgy was the
daughter of Sir George Wagstaff of
the British admiralty. She found the
room deserted, except for her fathers
admirable butler, who was at the mo-
ment in the act of placing tea-tray
upon Miss Willoughby's table.
'Oh. Brewster-is Miss Willoughby
in?" she inquired.
The correct Brewster Immediately
Strengthened himself up in his best
manner
NO miss! 1 think not" he replied.
Georgy strolled to the window.
81 dare say Etherll be here directly,
she said-to herself as much as to the
butler. "Ill wait"
Eyes. miss" Brewster acquiesced.
And with a bow of the utmost cor
,-rectness he went out, closing the doors
softly behind him.
Georgy Wagstaff stood idly looking
out of the window upon the view of
TIE 1IdUiES. II WIS an August
noon and the river shimmered alur-
ingly in the slanting sunlight. But
Ethel had asked her to meet a few
friends; and Georgy was fond enough
of Miss Wiloughby not to be repent
ant for having foregone the delights
of perfect summer evening out of
doors. AS she stood there in the win
dow her governess entered.
''0h! Hello, Georgy! Am late or
are you early?' Miss Willoughby called
as she saw that one of her guests was
already waiting.
BOTH" said Georgy with a smile.
81 did want two minutes with you be-
fore the others came. May l bother
you now"
"Of courser' the older girl replied.
"But it's no bother" she assured her.
She sat down on one end of a long
settee and began to remove her gloves;
whereupon her younger charge perched
herself at the other end of the seat

FOREIGN PAY FOR
BOYS ON THE BORDER
Senate Passes Measure Adding $t2,-
100000 to Increase Soldiers
Remuneration.

Washington, July 2S.--MOre than $12,-
100000 was added to the appropriation
for the pay of officers and men in the
United States army and National
Guard as the result of the adoption of
an amendment to give every one sery-
ing along the Mexican border foreign
pay"
Under the existing law, soldiers in
the United States army receive 20
per cent additional pay while serving
on foreign soil, and the commissioned
officers receive 10 per cent additional
for such service.
The amendment introduced by Sena-
tor James A. Reed of Missouri, and
adopted by the senate without roll
call, gives all officers and men in the
United States army as well as the Ma
tional Guard foreign pay regardless Of
whether they are serving on the north
or south side of the international bor-
der.
AS originally drawn the Illinois
guardsmen and all others in state
camps would have benefited equally
with those along the border, but the
amendment was changed In such a
way as to apply only to those doing
border duty.
That the war department believes
with General Organ of the New York
National Guard that the mllitiamen
will eat their Christmas turkey on the
border this year instead of at their
homes, was admitted by high officials
and the senate adopted an amendment
to allow the militiamen TO vote while
I'm their camps away from home. The
three ranking officers are to act as
judges Of election and an enlisted man
is to act as the clerk of election.

London, July 2s.--The Russians

trian lines in Volhynia and Galicia and

Vienna declares the Russian ad-
vances on the Lemberg road were
"only unimportant." but the fact Of ad-
vance is admitted. The second Rus
