Is alonz the Severn river, which disputes with the Thames the title of Englund's longest stream. The first town on the Infant river Is I.lunidloea, and here one sees the first and one of the quaintest or the old Market hnlls which will be encountered in a pilgrimage along the Severn, and one, moreover, which still treasures Its curfew bell. Although the market hall Is sadly In the way or modern traffic, making the approach from the upper Severn bridge to the main street narrow and dangerous, the adjacent streets are of ample width and pleasant avenues of trees. On market days, no doubt, the traffic Is congested enough, for Llanidloes cattle and sheep markets are still Important local events. Farther down the valley, on the outskirts of Newtown, a large wooden hall by the roadside attracts attention. It Is too large ror the needs or a town or some 5,000 Inhabitants and too far from the center of the town for everyday use. There Is only one notice board to be seen, and that says, "Choirs only this way." Obviously, for choral festivals. Even a small town like this can hope for the honor or staging the national festival, the Eisteddfod. Sometimes, as In this Instance, It means providing a hall capable of accommodating an audience larger than the entire population of the town which built It; but It Is done. The ceremony of the crowning of the bard takes place on an open hillside, for no building could accommodate the Immense concourse of patriots who gather for that event. Robert Owen Was Born in Newtown. The most famous son of Newtown was Robert Owen, pioneer of stores. Born in 1771, he was also a pioneer, from the masters' side, of more humane factory legislation, at a time when the Industrial revolution was at Its most ruthless stage. He spent some time In the United States and worked n to promote friendship. His birthplace has been pulled down, but the bank which now occupies the site, provided compensation by forming a memorial museum and library. Including a reproduction of the room In which Owen was born. Montgomery, the capital of the county of the same name, through which the Severn flows In Wales, lies a sliort distance away from the river, almost forgotten by the rush of modern life, dreaming peacefully of Its troubled history. Its neighbor, Welshpool,' takes the busy traffic. current of the present-daWhere Old Parr Lived. On the hillside near Mlddlctown Is Old Parr's cottage, where Thomas Parr lived In the reign of ten kings and queens of England. At the age of 152 he was taken to London to be exhibited to the king, Charles I, but died a few months later. The examdoctors, after a ination, attributed his untimely death to this removal, for they reported: "In short, his Inward, parts appeared so healthy that If he hnd not changed his diet and air, he might perhaps have lived a good He continued his while longer." work as a farmer till he was 130 years old. A few coracles, of a type familiar since the days of the ancient Britons, are still used by local fishermen. These oval boats are very light to carry, but clumsy to handle In the water. They are composed of a frame or wlckerwork covered with skins or, nowadays, with oilcloth. The Severn still yields salmon to Its fishermen, but not In such abundance as In days gone by, when an apprentice's Indentures often contained a clause to prevent his master economizing by feeding hlra on fresh salmon more often than twice Anglo-America- y post-morte- a week I From Welshpool to Shrewsbury the country Is very flat, so the Severn Is here remarkable for nothing except Its windings. Its first Important tributary, the Vyrnwy, Joins It as It enters England. In Shropshire. Near the Junction Is a village so subject to floods that It was called locally "Melverely. God help 'em." Since the Liverpool corporation turned Lake Vyrnwy Into a reservoir for part of their water supply, the floods have been to some slight extent under control. Shrewsbury Is Very Ancient. In one of the loops made by the Severn several miles farther down stands Shrewsbury, a town full of varied Interest. There has been a settlement here at least since the sacking of the Roman city of Url conlum, six miles to the southeast Id 5S4. Pengwern, as It was called. was for some time the capital of the kings of i'owls, before the castle at Welshpool was built. The Sax ons called the town Scrobbesbyrtg, which time has mellowed Into the present Shrewsbury. When the Normans came they. recognized what an Ideal spot It was for defense, surrounded on all sides by the river except where a steep rock closed the gap. The Conqueror entrusted the building of the castle to his kinsman, Roger de Montgomery, and this building has been restored recently and present ed to the town out or the profits made by Shrewsbury's famous flow er show the arts of peace thus rescuing a relic of war. Shrewsbury, like Banbury, Is also noted for Its cakes, and one shop owes Its fame to the mention of Its name by a minor poet. In "The In goldsby Legends" the story Is told of a local bluebeard. The heroine gets past the ferocious dog who guards the chamber of horrors by reeding him on the contents or her basket "She has given him a Shrewsbury cake or Pailln's own make," and the successor or that worthy confectioner still finds that line his own best advertisement. In the stirring days of border warfare, Shrewsbury held the responsible office of the northern war den of the marches, with Ludlow, on the tributary Teme. taking equal responsibility at the southern end. Besides Its border warfare, Shrewsbury witnessed one critical fight In English history, the battle which Is familiar to all lovers from Shakespeare's description of It In "Henry IV." The turning point In this conflict was the death of Hotspur, which FalstafT himself claimed to have encompassed after a duel lasting "a long hour by Shrewsbury clock." Shakespeare permits himself almost as much poetical license as be allows his knight In giving the glory to Prince Hal. The prince was but fifteen at the time, and although he came fresh from helping to defend his title of Prince of Wales, and not from tavern revelry, and although he fought bravely In this, his first pitched battle, he would have been no match for his doughty opponent, a tough veteran of thirty-nine- . Sober history records that Percy Hotspur was not slain until he was completely surrounded by his foes. As the rebels proposed to divide the kingdom Into three parts, their victory would probably have put back the clock of English history for at least a century. Home of Two Famous Men. Shrewsbury's most famous son Darwin, began another kind of battle a battle of Ideas with his theory of evolution ; and, although the battle ground Is changing, tha fight he commenced still goes on. A statue to his memory stands in front of the old grammar school, now the public library. Near the Old Market hall stands a statue to another famous son of Shropshire, Lord Cllve, who helped to lay the foundations of British rule over India.

With other prominent Fascists, the Italian representatives repaired to the lobby bar, ordered drinks and rather ostentatiously consumed them and marched out. secret session the council In drafted Its report and framed Its recommendations; but It also asked the committee of five to reconstitute Itself so It would be ready to lake advantage of any opportunity for mediation that offered In the near future. A feature of the council's session was an address by Capt Anthony Eden, British minister for league affairs. Conversations In Home between British Ambassador Sir Eric Drunimond and Premier Mussolini had led some to think Great Britain was weakening, but Eden announced bis government was "steadfastly determined to abide by its policy" as previously declared. He said In part: "In addressing my colleagues at the council on September 4 I expressed the view that it was our duty to use the machinery of the league that lay to our bands. "Such is still my view. I therefore support without qualification the proposal of the president of the council, since we are now working under article XV, that the council should draw up a report of the recommendations provided for In paragraph IV of that article. "So long as the council is engaged in drawing up a report of the recommendation the work of conciliation can continue and it Is clear that no opportunity for such conciliation within the terms of the covenant should be missed." Eden's attitude wns supported by Peter Munch of Denmark and Maxim Lltvinov of Russia. On the whole, prospects for settlement of the African afTalr were It was reported that very dim. Mussolini had said to Count Charles de Chambrun, French ambassador to Rome: "I will Invade Ethiopia en the date fixed a month ago." Emperor Halle Selassie wired the league requesting that in view of the "Increasingly provocative attitude of Italy" neutral observers be dispatched to Ethiopia to establish responsibility in case a clash occurs. (Jreat Britain Informed Italy that her tremendous naval concentration In the Mediterranean was not ordered with any aggressive motive but because of the violent campaign carried on by the Fascist press of Italy. The ninssing of the British warships at Gibraltar, Malta, Alexandria and the Suez canal continued, and Italy responded by rearranging her naval dispositions. Also the flow of Italian troops to East Africa was continuous, and It was announced In Rome that soldiers of the classes of 1011, 1912, 1913 and 1914 had reported for duty. This brought to 1,000.000 the total Italian mobilization, which Mussolini some time ago promised would be the mark reached before October 1. One result of the supposedly Improved relations between England and Italy was the cancellation of the calling of 10,000 more Italian troops to Libya, which colony borders on PREPARING October 13 he retires from the position of works progrexa adminis trator for New l'ork city.
