THE MANCHESTER GUARDIAN, MONDAY, MAY 27, 1929. THE LANCASHIRES IN TRAINING. WIRELESS NOTES AND PROGRAMMES. FUNERAL OF COLONEL. MACLURE.

Sudden Death of His Sister. Colonel Alan Maclure was interred in the family vault at the Southern Cemetery, Manchester, on Saturday, and when the funeral party returned to the house it was. to learn that his sister. Miss Margaret Eleanor IJaclure, who had been confined to bed since the previous" day, had died in their absence. Miss Maclure was in her 64th year.

She was a Memb3- or, at the best, mile after mile of barren downs. Most of the Lancashire troops are making its acquaintance for the first time, and it really seems as though nature had made up her mind to dispel once for all a slur upon one of her fairest provinces. Exceptional weather has favoured the training. The sun has shone gloriously all day long upon the beautifully undulated country and the thick and plentiful woods, which have reached the point of full leafage and most perfect green. POUCE STOP WEDDING.

Bride's Collapse at Register Office. Police intervention at the last moment prevented a wedding from taking place at Middlesbrough on Saturday. The bride and bridegroom had assembled with the wedding party at the register office, and were waiting for the "ceremony to when the police arrived, and after a conversation with the Registrar it was announced that the wedding could" not take place. The gill collapsed on hearing the news, hut later she was able to return home with her paients. In an interview yesterday the gill said they had been engaged for fifteen months The affair has been a great shock to me.

Immediately I got home messages were dispatched cancelling the invitation to the wedding reception, but several guests ai rived beiore receiving them, so my parents decided, to hold a small informal party with the object of helping me to forget my trouble. I am now busv returning the wedding piesents." EXPELLED MINISTER. Public Testimonial from Welsh Churchmen. HIS PROPHECY. The Rev.

T. Nevin Williams, who was recently expelled from the ministry ol Tumble Calvinistic Methodist Church, South Wales, on account oi his religious teaching, was on Saturday presented at Pwllheli with a public testimonial amounting to 640. Mr. D. Charles Owen (Afonwen).

who presided, said that the testimonial was collected in sums of sixpences and shillings contributed by quanymen. colliers, and farm labourers all ove" Wales Professor J. J. Jones (Nevin). Calvinistic Methodist minister, who ivas in the trenches with Mr.

Williams during the war, said that they were botn wounded in the same battle, taken to the same hospital, and started preaching together after demobilisation. Mr. Williams was a true piophet, but Wales was too engrossed in politics, creed, and doctrines to listen to his message Councillor Robert Murray (Pwllheli), another piominent deacon with the same denomination, said the Calvinistic Methodists bad made a great mistake in excommunicating Mr. Williams. Wale was never in greater need of a spiritual leader than to-day.

The young people were disappointed with the chinches because there was no one to give them a lead in spiritual matteis. In his opinion it was high time to do away with sectarianism in Wales, and form one influential chinch. (Applause. The Rev. Nevin Williams, in acknow ledging, phophesied that in fifteen years' time all chapels in ales would bs empty.

He tiied his best to revive the H1LVERSUM RETAINS ITS WAVE-LENGTH The Dutch newspaper Het Yolk understands that the Hilversum broad casting station is provisionally retaining its present wave-length of 1,070 metres, as Norway, which had been allotted this wave-length by the recent official Prague Conference, does not require it for the present. The decision of the Prague Conference to allot Holland ony two wavelengths from June 30 namely, metres and 29S metres, thereby necessitating a change in Hilversum's wavelength, caused an outcry throughout Holland (says Reuter's Amsterdam correspondent), and a "monster petition, bearing nearly half a million signatures, was presented to the Ministry of Public Works. This concern was shared bv large numbers of British listeners, from whom Hilversum has long been the most popular of the Continental stations, and the news will be heard in Britain with great satisfaction. It is possible that bv the time Norwav lays claim to the wave the Prague Plan, under which it was conceded, will have been superseded. THE ATMOSPHERICS SEASON.

(From an Experimenter.) The past week has been one of typical summer-time reception. Atmospherics have been very much in evidence on one or two nights, particularly on Friday, but on other evenings interference has not been serious. The atmospherics which we experience at this time of the year can nearly always be heard on all wave lengths, even down below 20 metres, not at the same strength. Usually, the long waves above 1,000 metres are those mostly affected, but often there is a diffeience Of strength of atmotpheiics on belts of wave-lengths, and while stations on one portion of the broadcast wave-lengths may have serious interference others may have much less. On Saturday atmospherics were not quite so bad as on the previous night, but were rather strong at times.

Seveial stations on the upper portion of the medium-wave band did not, reach any strength until very late in the evening, and even then were much below that of a few weeks ago. Vienna and Budapest were extremely weak, and Milan not much better, while Brussels, Langenberg, and tanktoit were only fair strength. The new high-powered Barcelona was evidently in operation on Saturday, for the strength was good, and just below it Prague was quite a strong signal, much better than for many weeks. Goteborg, however, after being a leliable station for a long peiiod. was only about half the usual strength.

Below 300 metres Tmin, Horby, and Nurnberg gave their usual good strength, and Malmo, a small-powered Swedish relay, was nearly as strong as Horby. Both Konigsberg and Kaiserlautern were subject to heterodyne and distortion, but Breslau came in stronger than pvpt before, while Gleiwitz, which usuallv pro- vmes me stronger signal ot tne Breslau programme, was extremely weak. The long-wave stations have not shown any material change during the week, except that Motala has again relapsed into a comparatively weak signal after the recent promise of improvement. FINAL POLITICAL APPEALS. The final political appeals by leaders of the three parties will be made to-day, to-morrow, and on Wednesday.

To-night Sir John Simon will plead the Liberal cause. Originally it was arranged that Mr. Lloyd George should be heard PARADE OF POLICEMEN. Life on Salisbury Plain. HOW ARDWICK TAKES ITS HOLIDAY.

(From our Special Correspondent.) Salisbury, Sunday. The East Lancashire Territorial Division in training on Salisbury Plain numbered 218 officers and 5,000 other ranks during the first week's work. This-morning, while the dew was still on the grass and the countryside was appealingly beautiful in the sun, aout "700 men -from the various arms of the service marched to Tidworth Station, and are now on their way back to Ardwick, Stretford, and other places. They have not been able to obtain a fortnight's leave from their work, and are gome back with only half their training done. Fewer than a hundred men are coming to replace them during the second week.

The troops here in training are as follows: On Bulford Fields are the 10th Battalion Manchester Regiment from Oldham, the 12nd Divisional Royal from Old Trafford, the 4-5th Uattalian East Lancashire Regiment from Blackburn, the divisional train R.A S.C. and A.M.C. from Upper Chorlton Road, Manchester. On Windmill Hill are the 42nd Divisional Signals Trom Burlington Street. At Tidworth Paik are the 5th (Buiv), fflh (Rochdale), 7th and 8th (SalfoifH Battalions of the Lancashire Fusiliers.

At Tidworth aie' tliu 42nd Ordnance Company from Whalley Range, and at Tidworth Penning are the 5th (Wiganl Battalion of the Regiment, the -7th fSt let foid Road) Battalion, the 8th Ardwick) Bnttilion. and the 9th fAshton-nnder-Lyne) Battalion. The strongest battalion in the camp, as usual, is the 10th "MaiiclipetiMs fiom Oldham, who numbered sixteen officers and 538 other ranks. Going Home to Vote.

ERNEST MONIS. A Past Premier of France The sudden death is announced in an Exchange telegram from Paris, of M. Ki nest Monis, ex-Premier of France and formerly senator of the Gironde Department, last night at 'his country srat of Mondouzie, at Chateauneuf sur Ho was 83 years of age.

At the recent elections M. Monis was re-elected municipal councillor for Chateauneuf. He represented the Depart ment of the Gironde for 35 years at. the Palais Bourbon. Ernest Monis.

who in 1927, at the age of SO, was found to be struggling in vain to earn enough to maintain himself, was born at Chateauneuf in. May, 1846, and after completing his legal studies became, an advocate at Cognac. From there he moved to Bordeaux, where he secured a large practice and also organised model distilleries. In 1835 he was elected deputy for the Gironde and in ISSH he passed to the Senate, in which he sat until 1920, when he was defeated. As a senator he worked hard on some of the commissions.

He gained the friendship of Waldeek-Kousseatw who gave him the poilfolio of Justice in his ISO!) Cabinet. In 1902 Moim decided to concentrate on his Parliamentary work. He no longer appeared in court, and gave up his commercial interests. In 1911 he became Premier, his principal colleagues being Caillaux, Bert.aux, and Crnppi, but his Cabinet only lasted four months. During his term of office he was present at ah aviation displav when an aeroplane on landing killed his "War Minister.

Berteaux: Monis himself was seriously injured, so that he was unable to be present in Parliament to defend his Administration. In 1913 he was Minister of Marine in the Dou-mergue Government. Tn 1920. after his defeat at the senatorial elections, Monis. then 74.

and still suffering from the effects of his injuries, had nothing but his pension of 200 francs a month as an ex-senator. He decided to go back to the Bar, but the man who had rendered so many services to his country and to individuals was regarded as too old. and secured very few clients. He was reduced to pleading in the police courts for small fees, but struggled on without complaining, though even this work was hard to obtain. Eventually, in Januarv.

1927, his unfortunate lot was brought to the notice of the Government, and a bill was introduced to grant him a pension of 24,000 francs (about 200) a vear. It transpired that Monis had no private means, and that what money he had saved he had devoted to the education of his son, who was thus able to take his degiee in law. again, relayed from a meeting, from nillLU w.l ItullUICtlU 1 0 SULtCQtUllt nilCU Hi- tics v.ww...j by wireless listeners, but Sir John Simon is to make tne broadcast.

oaiumu m. Manchester. Sir John Simon will speak 0 1 1 1 INSTEAD OF KESTON- Keston, the B.B.C experimental station, best known to listeners in connection with relays from America, is to be abandoned in favour of a new station on Botley Hill, near Tatsfield. off the main road from Croydon to Limpsfield, and about five miles due south of Keston. The hill is 850 feet above sea level.

The situation should prove better than Keston for the particular experiments and tests conducted, and the station, which is to be known as the Tatsfield Experimental Station, will probably be working in July. An opportunity is being taken of replacing some of Keston's apparatus with the latest and most efficient type. It should be remembered that primarily Tatsfield. like Keston. will be a research station to check wave-lengths in this country and the Continent, keeping watch 011 the British stations' performances, searching for interference, and so on.

BETTER U.S. RELAYS. The promise of better relays from America next season is almost certain. Mr. Ayleswortb, the president of the National Broadcasting Company, who lecently leturned to New York after a visit to this country, expressed himself optimistically in the American papers on the prospects of the interchange of American and British programmes in the future.

It may be that his optimism is based on what he learned about the new Tatsfield station. The first successful relay by the B.B.C. after many preliminary experiments was at the end of December, 1923, when music and speech were picked up at Biggin Hill, transferied by landline to 2 LO. and relayed to all stations. After the initial thrill to those who happened to be listening at that time it cannot be said that later experiments fiom Keston in relaying America have brought listeners much edification.

Tidworth PenningB in particular is a tortunate camp, it is pitcned on a vast cup of green. pasturage, and well-grown woods fringe all the cup's edge. The fields are full of flowers, all day long the. cuckoo calls, and at night under the moon the nightingale sings. "Nature Study." One is trying to see it all from the point of view of, say, an Ardwick man, whose only holiday of the year this is.

I have spent most of my time with what we still familiarly call the Ardwicks. The men are through with their work by one o'clock, and thenceforward you will see them wandering about with a profound childlike interest in everything. It is pathetic interest, too, because it has so little to go on. A discussion in one tent concerning a corncrake that had kept people awake got no nearer thj truth than a hazardous assumption that pernaps it was a nedgehog. A man was amazed at a queen bee.

He had never before seen such an unmentionable big fly. So they go on, and. they are getting to look, as we always say about returned royal travellers, bronzed and well. They "die feeding like fighting-cocks, "which one sincerely hopes they will never become. It is all so good that one wonders why men are not thus made fit for peace as well as war.

The Army Service Corps is having a tough time. To deal with this division of 5,000 soldiers there are only ten officers and 82 other ranks. During the fortnight's camp they will have to ration 75,400 pounds of bread, 56,550 pounds of meat, 7,020 pounds of sugar, 1,768 pounds of tea, besides vast Quantities of nav and oats, coal and wood, 6traw, and petrol. When one remembered that bread and jam of war-time it was pleasing io discover tne atowicks partaKing ol herrings in tomato for their tea. They have two canteens a wet and a dry.

Two-thirds of the takings come from the dry canteen, where the favourite beverage is milk. Up to tea-time yesterday three churnfuls had already been sold that day. This good feeding, the regular life, the open air, the sporte, the shower-baths, and bathing pool have made a wonderful difference to the looks of these Lancashire youths, and even the older hands are looking upon the Salisbury Plain camp as the best they have ever had. The weather promises to remain good. HON.

AUBREY HASTINGS. After playing polo at Cirencester late on Saturday afternoon the Hon. Aubrey Hastings, the well-known racehorse trainer, of Wroughton, Wiltshire, collapsed and died in the midst of his family. Mr. Hastings had been watching thp final stage of the Phillipi Cup competition on the ground of the Cirencester Polo Club, and afterwards himself took part in a friendly game.

At the close of his game he rested in a chair for a minute or two talking to his wife and daughters. When he rose with the into" tion of proceeding to the pavilion he immediately expired. He had been suffering from blond pressure for some time, an dit is thought that the exertion of the game on a very hot afternoon was too much for him. Mr. Hastings was a brother of the Earl of Hungtingdon.

He was in his fifty-first year. Mr. Hastings was a great authority on steeplechasing, both as an amateur rider in his younger days and as a trainer of horses over fences. In 1906 he rode the winner of the Grand National, Ascetic's Silver, in the fastest time in which the Aintree classic has been decided 9min. 34 2-5sec.

The horse and been trained by him, and he also trained Ally Sloper, the winner in 1915, and Master Robert, who won in 1924. Ballymacad. who won the substitute for the" Grand National run at Gatwick in 1917, was also trained by him. CHOIRMASTER FOR OVER 40 YEARS The death occurred at Keswick on Saturday of Mr. George Alcock, who was for over forty years choirmaster of the Keswick Wesleyan Church choir, and for about a quarter of a century local secretary to the Keswick Convention.

He was also phnirmnlor rtf iVia TI7 i.m-j 11.1 vvtrs- leyan Church choir, and. formed a Keswick male voice choir and a Keswick Wesleyan Mission choir. His choirs won many prizes at musical festivals. FUNERAL OF FIRE VICTIMS. Fully 5.000 people gathered in the littls churchyard oi St.

Bede's Roman Catholic Church at Rotherham on Saturday at the funeral of Mrs. Annie Brogan, her four-month-old baby John, her sister. Miss Mary Gallagher, and Miss Mary Kelly, all of whom lost their lives as .1 result of the fire at the Irish Nationalist Club at Rotherham on Tuesdav. In addition to the family mourners there were fifty members of the Irish Nationalist Club, and forty girl workmates of Miss Kelly from Stocksbridge. There were also present the Mayor 'and Mayoress of Rotherham (Alderman and Mrs.

S. Hall), the Deputv Mavor (Councillor W. Brooke) the Chief Constable (Mr. E. Weatherhogg), Mr.

Several hundreds of people, representing the various bodies and orsamsations with which Colonel Maclure had been interested, made up the funeral procession, and the cemetery church was wholly inadequate to contain those wishing to attend the service. Police preceded the procession, a detachment of military marched with it, and the Last Post was sounded by a bugler from the deDOt of the Lancashi's Fusiliers at the close of the service. Canon Scott conducted the service, and the nrincioal mourners were Sir Tohn S. Maclure, Mr.

W. G. Percv Maclure, brothers; Captain J. W. Spencer Maclure, Mr.

Alan Sington, and M'-. Claude Sineton. nephews. Sir William Milligan, Sir Bovd and Lady Merriman, Sir William Cundiff, Sir Alan Sykes, and the Venerable J. A.

Thoipe (Archdeacon of Macclesfield) were among other mourners. The following organisations and institutions were represented: Manchester City Council; the Territorial Association; the depot of the Lancashire Fusiliers Manchester Royal Infirmary; Uppingham School the Lancashire and Cheshire Antiquarian" Society; Rusholme, Fallow-field, Longsight, West Point, and Levenshulme Conservative organisations; the Jubilee School for Girls; Manchester A Police marching Industrial School; the Province and Lodges of the Freemasons; St. Joseph's Freceptory of the Knights Templar; and the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children. OUR BLEST Centenary of the Hymn's Composition. The Rev.

C. B. Greaves, vicar of Hoddesdon, Herts, writes: Whit Sunday was the hundredth anniversary of the composing of this beautiful hymn, by Miss Harriet Auber, who lived at Hoddesdon, Herts, and whose grave is in the churchyard. The legend is- that' whilst meditating in her home opposite the church after the services Of Whit Sunday, 1S29, at the close of the day, she scratched on the window pane, with her diamond ring, the opening lines of the hymn. Our Blest Redeemer is one of the most popular hymns in the English-speaking world, and one that is an unfailing source of inspiration and comfort to Christian people of all denominations.

To mark its centenary it is proposed to put a stained-glass window in Hoddesdon Church to the author's memorv also to restore her grave in the churchvard; and it is thought that many of the larger public who have been helped by the hymn, and value it, and feel grateful to the writer, may like to subscribe to this memorial. Donations may be sent to Barclays Bank, Hoddesdon, or to me at the Vicarage. WORKLESS-MINER'S LEGACY. An unemployed miner of Shield's Row. Stanley, County Durham, named Albert Edward Morson, received an intimation from a firm of Liverpool solicitors that he is heir to the estate of his great-aunt and has inherited the sun of about, 20,000.

In an "interview "Morson said he. did not know what he would do with the money, but perhaps, would start a business. TO-DAY'S WIRELESS PROGRAMMES. CHILD'S FATAL BURNS. June Movie, aged five, living with her parents at 39, Shakespeare Road, Fleetwood, was fatally burned on Saturday.

THE Window-Smashing Exploit.

(From our Correspondent.) RiCHJiosn (Yorkshire), Saturday. Hearing a crash of glass while on duty at midnight in the market-place, Police Constables Jackson and Caygill of Richmond, went to Queen's Road" and discovered a large plate-glass window belonging to Messrs. Morton, garage proprietors, The constables went to the depot of the Green Howards and saw Clive Leslie Jones, who said: "I thought the town was dead and was going to liven it up." Jones admitted breaking the window with his boot. At the police court to-day there was also a charge of breaking a street automatic machine in High Row and stealing six packets of fruit sweets. An officer of the Green Howards said he was at a loss to understand the action, as Jones had a good appointment in the barracks.

Jones was sent to prison for one month on each charge, the sentences to run concurrentlv. GIRLS' FRIENDLY SOCIETY COMPETITION.

The memorial service for Lord Rose-bery was held in St. Giles's Cathedral, Edinburgh, on Saturday. The great building was crowded and the Duke of York represented the King.
