I AMMANFORD THEFTS.
I AMMANFORD THEFTS. At Ammanford Police-court on Mon- day Rees Thomas, a tramping labourer, was charged with being drunk and dis- orderly, and also with- the theft of a basket of groceries and a flagon of beer, value 7s., the propeaty of David Wil- liams, labourer, Pentregwenlas. It appeared that prisoner was in the Red Lion Hotel when the prosecutor en- tered with his basket of groceries, which he placed on the settle in the bar. Pro- secutor treated defendant to a pint of beer, and afterwards missed his basket. He went to another room and ordered two flagons of boor, of which defendant took one and refused to give, it up. When arrested later for being drunk and dis- orderly he had the groceries and the tiagon with him. The prosecutor had in the meantime gone home. The magistrates imposed a fine of 10s. in the first case, and 25s. in the second (oir an alternative of 14 days) stating they considered prosecutor to blame in giving him (the defendant) the pint of beer to assist in making him drunk. ————— —————
! SWANSEA BAPTIST MINISTER…
SWANSEA BAPTIST MINISTER GOING TO FRANCE. At a special meeting of the members of the Mount Pleasant Baptist Church, on Sunday evening, the pastor, the Rev. H. C. Mander, asked leave of absence for the next twelve months, or during the period of the war, and the request was complied with. The rev. gentleman hopes within a few weeks to go to France a as chaplain, having been nomin- ated by the United Army Board. Mr. Man dor was appointed chaplain of the 3rd Welsh R.A.M.C. in August, 1914, but at the time he was "held up" in owitzeirlajid, where he had been spending his holidays, and when he returned the rrigiment had mobilised and gone off. The j Ivov. James Owen, the veteran former minister of Mount Pleasant, has vol un- tarily come from his '.veil-earned retire- ment to assist the church during its pre- sent pastor's absence.

I SHORT LIST BEFORE .LOCAL…
I SHORT LIST BEFORE .LOCAL I I JUSTICES. I I Friday, before Messrs. H. N. Miers, E. G. Benthall, D. T. Williams, and F. I R. Phillips. I NO TRAP LICENCE. I I Thomaa Walters, Clydaoh, was sum- I moned for using a trap without a licence. P.C. Marsh gave evidence and men- tioned that defendant had been using the trap for a good length of time. Defendant said he only kept the trap for a little business. His name was on the trap in small letters. Defendant also said he used to be a milkseller and the trap was made for that purpose. Mr. Miers I am afraid you cannot say that it was used solely for trade. Defendant said he had always taken out a licence for a trap up to the present year. He was ordered to pay 40s. The Clerk (Mr. John W. Thorpe) told defendant that if he did not take out a licence he would be fined L5 if summoned again. i GETTING "WISE." I To use an American expression the magistrates in the Pontardawe district I are just beginning to get "wise" in re- gard to medical certificates tendered by pai-ents to explain the absence of their children from school. The Great Unpaid have often felt that such scraps of paper are given away readily, and a most glar- ing illustration of this was given in one of the cases down for hearing. After the' attendance officer had presente d his list of attendances to the chairman, a mother handed up a doctor's certificate to the clerk. The list and certificate were sub- jected to a close scrutiny at the hands of the J.P.'s and clerk for some moments, and they seemed to occasion much sur- prise. Eventually Mr. Miers explained to the court that a doctor's certificate had been put in to prove that a certain child was quie unable to attend school between Nov. 10th and Nov. 25th. Yet according to the attendance officer's list the child had a better record of attend- ance during those fifteen days than for months previously. The Clerk nodded to the Press to make a note of the case. I EXPENSIVE RIDE. I John Lewis Jenkins, collier, Cwmllyn- fell, was summoned for travelling on the Midland without a ticket on Saturday night, November 13th. Edward Morgan, Midland police officer, said that on the night in question, de- fendant alighted from the 10 o'clock train at Cwmllynfell and walked down the slope and OIl to the line. Witness took defendant back to the booking office whetre defenda-nt intimated his willing- I ness to pay. Defendant said he was a. married man with five children On the night in ques- tion he only had just enough time to jump into the train at Y stalyfera station. Mr. Miers Did you tell the guard. Defendant No. Max Franzen, Midland detective, said the practice adopted by defendant was very much on the increase. Defendant was fined jBl. I OUGHT TO BE ASHAMED. I May Jane Allen and Martha Lewis, two married women residing at Godre'r- graig, were summoned for being drunk. P.C. Gifford said that at 10.15 p.m. on October 30th he saw defendants in Cyfing-road. They were creating a dis- turbance by making use of bad language a-nd fighting. Both were drunk. Witness added that defendants were used to go- ing into public houses and when a land- lady refused to serve them they became very abusive. Clerk (to Mrs. Allen) Have you any- thing to say ? Defendant Yes your Honour. (Laugh- ter.) Mrs. Allen said they only went into the Royal Oak for a glass of beer. Mrs. Lewis who had been previously convicted said it was no good for her to say anything as before. Mr. Miers Are you in partnership with this woman to go around the public houses on Saturday nights? Mrs. Allen We were together sir. Mr. Miers said it must be a sad thing foT the childran to find their mothers going airound public houses and getting drunk. The defendants ought to be ashamed of themselves. Mrs. Lewis would have to pay 15s. a,nd Mrs. Allen 12s. —————
SAVED FROM HUNS BY HORSE.
SAVED FROM HUNS BY HORSE. A horse which saved its owner's life during the GeTman invasion of Bel- gium was the subject of an application to the Reading magistrates. Jeain Sosman had been fined for working a horse on the music-hall stage wihile it was i ncurably lame, and the Court had ordered tihe destruction Off the animal. Mr Sydney Brain, solicitor, applying to the Court, to rescind that order,, said Sosman was a circus proprietor, being "the Sanger of Belgium." At tihe beginning of the war the invading Germans burnt down his theatre near Namur, seized all his horses (number- ing 68), and shot all stock which was of no military value. Sosman himself escaped by taking flight on the back of the horse whidh was the subject of the present case. The Magistrates said that while sympathising with Sosman they had now power to rescind their order. ¡ Mr Brain said the question of an aippeal was being considered. i.. =g

Comrades of a young officer now in Monmouthshire on sick furlough tell the story of an incident in a London hospi- tal. The patients had been told that the King and Queen and perhaps other Royalties were going to visit them. The young officer in question had been a little delirious. "VlwJl the Queen bent over him and snoke to him he asked her "Where I is young Many?" Her Majesty, taking in the situation at once, replied with a sniile "She is at home knitting."
Burial of the Late Mr. Leyshon…
Burial of the Late Mr. Leyshon Thomas. Most, inclement weather prevailed on Saturday afternoon last during the funeral of Mr. Leyshon Thomas, land- lord of the Berrington Arms, Cwmtwrch. The wind blew across the Common with terrific force, and the rain fell in tor- rents during the whole of the afternoon. There were hundreds of sympathisers pre- sent, and they were subjected to a trying ordeal. The deceased, it will be remem- bered, passed away on Tuesday of last week, after only three days' illness. He was 34 years of age, and had kept the Berrington for about seven years. Mr. Thomaa was of a kind and genial dis- position, and took a keen interest in the philanthropic work of the R.A.O.B. He was recently raised to the degree of C.P. in the Order, and two weeks prior to his death he was presented with a jewel by thp R.A.O.B. at the Loyal John Owen Lodge, which was held at the Berrington. He had been married for fourteen years and it is strange to state that on the anniversary of his wedding his coffin was brought into his home. He was a popular figure in the Cwmtwrch district and was a good all round sportsman. De- ceased leaves a widow and four children for whom deepest sympathy is felt. Three of his brothers and two sisters, viz., Joseph, David, Daniel, Mary Hannah and Katie, are in the United States. At the funeiral on Saturday about 80 brothers of the R.A.O.B. formed into line at the head of the procession, under the charge of Bro. W. Hopkin, P. Grand Marshall. Other ofifcers of the P.G.L. present were Bros. D. W. Jenkins, P.G.P. Deputy Chaplain Morgan Rogers (Chaplain); W. T. Williams, I.P.G.P. W. J. Miller, P.G. Secretary- C. Grif- fiths, J.

Evans, Samuel Williams (Llanhiileth), etc. On arrival at the graveyard the Rev. Jno. Rees offered up a short prayer, and the hymn "Duw mawr y rhyfeddodau maith" was impres- sively sung. The R.A.O.B. service was not proceeded with on account of the weather., The chief mourners were Mrs. Thomas (widow), Tom, Rachel, Betty and Horatio (children), Mr. and Mrs. Wm.

MR. CHURCHILL'S NARROW ESCAPE.…
MR. CHURCHILL'S NARROW ESCAPE. r In a letter to his parents at Guilden Morden (Herts), a lieutenant of the Grenadier Guards gives a description of a bombardment by shells, and in the course of his letter says :—"Winston Churchill is attached to my company in the trenches for instructions. I find him very keen and amusing. The night before last (No. 25th) we had a terribly narrow escape. A shell came through the roof of the dug-out,, and in exploding killed the orderly, while my servant and myself were badly shaken. An explosion in so narr-tow a space is beastly.

GERMAN HUNGER DREAM.
GERMAN HUNGER DREAM. BEEF-STEAK FROM OLD NEAVS- I PAPERS. j The "Hamburger Nadirichten" pub- lishes a vigorous appeal b, a Profess- or Melmer not to burn old newspapers and other paper waste, which, he says, can be turned to the best account in other ways. He calls attention in the first place to the recent issue of a Governillien,t notice against the use of straw as litter for horses and pigs. Straw, it was pointed out, is very largely used for fodder. Loosely crumpled paper, says the professor, can be used as litter for horses and pigs. The professor, however, does not stop here, for he declares that pro- cesses may be applied which will make paper itself available as fodder. "And so we come to this," he says, "that the masses of old newspapers which have already fed mens minds in town and country will then feed cat-tie, and that old brown paper and cardboard boxes will yield milk and beef-steak." ————— ——— —
TINPLATE BOOM. I
TINPLATE BOOM. I HIGHEST PRICE REACHED FOR 35 YEARS. A few weeks ago the South Wales* tinpla;be trade was dull, but it is now gaining in firmness every week, and the prdoe of plates to-day (writes a correspondent) is higher than in 1891, tihe boom year of the McKinley tariff, being the highest recorded for thirty- five years. The current price ranges from 23s.3d. to 22s.6d. a box (20 x 14). Whereas since the war broke out America has been making rapid strides in many of the world's markets where the Welsh manufacturers had practically a monopoly previously, it is interesting to note that- the great advances in freights are now placing America at a disadvantage for distant markets. The immediate future of the Welsh tdnplate trade is brighter now than it has been since the war started. ————— —————
LORD DERBYS OPINION.
LORD DERBYS OPINION. SCHEME NOT SO SUCCESS* (JL AS I ANTICIPATED. Addressing a meeting of rail way men at Long Eaton on Sunday night, Mr J. H. Thomas, M.P., said the posi- tion regarding Lord Derby's recruit- ing scheme was not so bright as had been alleged. It was assumed that the scheme was already assured suc- cess. On Saturday he discussed the matter with Lord Derby, who ex- pressed the opinion tihat the scheme was not so successful as he either an- tioipait.ed or had a right to expect. Therefore, a supreme effort must be made in the next few days by those who valued freedom, and were op- posed to conscription. That would be the ruost conclusi ve answer to any pre- mature talk of peace.

RUIN IN AUSTRIA.
RUIN IN AUSTRIA. BITTER SOCIALIST DENUNCIA- TION OF THE DIPLOMATS A message from Geneva says that a Swiss Socialist organ publishes, the text of a. manifesto issued by the Austrian Social Democratic Party, whidh has been secretly distributed in Austria. The document states: The truth is being hidden in Austria. We have never had liberty in Austria. &inoo the war. The regime under which we have been living has become terrible. There is neith er constitut-ion ntor justice, and executioners will have a lot of work to do. When the civilised world knows exactly what is being done in Austria, and when jus- tice is once more enforced, tho world will shiver with horror.
