ALL THE BELLS NAMED

IMPRESSIVE SCHEME LIST OF INSCRIPTIONS It is announced by the War Memorial Carillon Society that the wholj of the bells of the Memorial Carillon have been named, and are being cast with both their ■nanu's ;imi iiis'ji-iptiuiis upon them. This is in accordance with the well-established tradition in England and Europe, ■ where the greater bells are commonly called by name, and many citizens can even tell tnuir individual notes. The object has been to impart a personality to I'uch bell, and the hope is expressed, therefore, that when the Grand Carillon- rings forth, as will probably bo the case by July of next year, each bell will so become affectionately known in the minds and hearts of the people. DETAILS OF THE SCHEME. The "Bourdon" bell of tho first instalment of 49 bells in the Wellington Carillon, which has been given in mem-

ory of the 1700 men of Wellington City and suburbs who gave lives in the Great War, has been appropriately named "Beo lAVairua," meaning "Spirit Voice," and underneath the dedication lines it will bear the words "Ana! He Tangi Aroha," which translated means "Hark! A Cry.of Love." . TJiis serves as an introduction to the whole Carillon, and is regarded as singular!}* fitting for such a'fine set of War Memorial bells. This bell weighs iivo- tons, and in accordance with the tradition of all "Bourdon" bells will be specially decorated, carrying a" frieze of fern leaves and flax as' New Zealand national emblems upou its shoulder. This frieze, which has been specially designed, is the work of Mr. G. N. Sturtevant, of Wellington. „ The next three great bells, of 4 tons 4cwt, 3 tons lOcwt, and 2 tons IS cwt, are, to represent the -three main theatres in which, the New Zealand Expeditionary Force fought during the Great War,'and are to be dedicated to the New Zealand-Division, the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps, and the New Zealand Mounted Riiles, respectively. They have been named "The Somme," "Anzac," and "Palcs- <»

line," mid will carry appropriate inscriptions, including quotations from tho commanders under whom -tin: respective units of the. N.Z.K.F. served. 'Die iiftli bell, weighing 2 tons Scwt, an individual memorial, will be named "Passchendaele." The sixth, bell, \of two tons, will bear the arms of the Royal Navy, and will be named "Jutland"; "the seventh bell,'! ton loewt, will bo called "The Seven Seas,'..' and will be dedicated to the memory of-the British Mercantile Marine. The balance include the Civil Service bell, two district bells,, six N.Z.E.F. unit bells, and -32 ncxt-of-ki'n bells. The great bulk of these next-of-kiu bells have been named after tlie engagement or nearest town ov place where the soldiers to whom they are dedicated fell. Tin; name "Moliara" on one of these bells means "Remembrance," and "Kungomui," which appears on another, signifies "Sounding This Way." WORK OF SPECIAL COMMITTEE.
