The War. "0 Lord! Choke the Kaiser." "O! Arglwydd, taga y Kaiser!" was the devout and earnest text of a sup- plication at a prayer meeting in a local Welsh Chapel this week. And all the people said "Amen "—loudly or other- wise.
jMistaken Identity.
Mistaken Identity. An Aberdare man was returning home through Dowlais all tattered and torn, his arm in a sling and his coat in shreds. The natives instantly jumped to the conclusion that he was a gallant wounded soldier returning from the battle of the Aisne, and w £ re preparing to give him a hearty welcome home until he explained that he got his wouihds in a cycle collision. Then the proposed demonstration was aban- doned.

SEVEN DAYS' BATTLE. Attack by Germans. Repulsed by Russians. Rome, Tuesday. A message from Petrograd states that a fierce battle has been raging since Sunday morning along the f front from Grodno to Drusyeniki. Four army corps were engaged on I both sides, and the Russians are constantly being reinforced from Vilma. The Russian troops have already repulsed the Germans at several points. The German troops coming from Angustovo endeavoured to cross the Niemen, but were repulsed at Drus- yeniki and Sopotzkin. They were evidently trying to cut off railway communication between Warsaw, Bieloztok. Drogno, and V ilna. Exch ange telegram.

WAR LATEST. Von Kluck's Army's Flight Reported. Exchange Company's War Telegram. Paris, Tuesday (Midnight). It is stated here that the German right has been entirely broken, and is now being pursued by the Allies. All the automobiles in Northern France have been requisitioned for the purpose of the pursuit. Armoured motor-cars with machine guns are also being used to pursue the retreating enemy. The official communique issued at 3 o'clock demonstrates unmistakably that the Germans have been surrounded in the Somme department, the French front extending further east. It is officially stated that Peronne has been re-captured.
Abercwmboi and the War.
Abercwmboi and the War. MR. STANTON AND BRITAIN'S FO. A public meeting in support of the Prince of Wales Relief Fund and the call for recruits was held at Bethlehem Chapel on Wednesday, September 28. Councillor William Thomas, solicitor, Aberdare, presided. Among those present were: Mr. C. B. Stanton, miners' agent; Mr. Joseph Martin, D.C., Aber- aman; Mr. John Evans, D.C., Aber- cwmboi; Rev. J. Bowen Davies, Mr. H. T. Goldsworthy, District Council Ac- countant, Lieut. Lewis, Recruiting Officer.-A letter was read from Dr. Horgan regretting his inability to be present, and enclosing a cheque for Z5 5s.-The meeting was opened by singing "Marchog Iesu." Prayer was offered by the Rev. J. B. Davies. Councillor William Thomas explained the working of the local fund, which had already exceeded .£2,800, of which- < £ 2,000 had been forwarded to the Central Fund. They were paying out X120 a week in Aberdare. There were 40 dependents at Abercwmboi. The second speaker was Mr. Golds- worthy, who stated that there were from 300 to 400 dependents in Aberdare receiving a minimum of .£1 a week- 7s. 7d. for wife and Is. 2d. for each child, together with a little more from the local committee. Mr. C. B. Stanton said that although he was a Socialist he was still a British- er, and those that did not support Britain in her hour of need were her enemies and the friends of Germany. It was the duty of all and of every political colour, .whether Tory, Liberal, or Socialist, to be united in the present crisis. Mr. Stanton treated at some length and with vigour and eloquence on the causes of the present war, and also on the recruiting question. The Rev. J. Bowen Davies and Mr. John Evans also spoke.—Councillor J. Martin moved that a committee be formed at Aoorcwmbol to investigate the circumstances of .the dependents of those who had so nobly responded to the call to arms. Also that two mem- bers of the local committee should act on the Executive at Aberdare.—This was seconded by Councillor J. Evans, and carried unanimously.

- Abercwmboi Notes.
Abercwmboi Notes. BY "SYLVANUS.' An official report has reached Mrs. Tom Smith, of 29 John Street, from the War Office, disclosing the fact that Mr. Smith, her husband, who is with a Somerset Regiment at the front, is among the missing. We extend our sympathy to Mrs. Smith and to the re- latives in their anxiety and suspense. The renovated pavement in John Street has much improved the appear- ance of our main street. We are still in need of many more improvements. The Council have at last discovered that we still exist. On Sunday morning last the Rev. H. P. Jenkins, Saron, Aberaman, and the Rev. J. B. Davies, Bethlehem, ex- changed pulpits. Private David Williams, who gave such a vivid description in the "Leader" of his experiences at the battle of Mons, has returned to the front. He is so an- xious to again come in contact with the "cultured" Germans. We wish him every success. Rumours have been set about that Private Tom Davies, Park View, has been killed at the front. However, we are pleased to state that this is inaccur- ate, as on Monday morning his mother had a letter from him stating that he was O.K.
Wedding at Aberdare.
Wedding at Aberdare. A pretty wedding took place at the Catholic Church, Aberdare, on September 27th. The contracting parties were Mr. Michael Spellane. foreman of Messrs.

Her bridesmaid was Miss Gracie Dovey, and the best man was Mr Martin White. The wedding break- fast was partaken of at the King's Head Inn, Gadlys. The happy couple were the recipients of numer- ous presents, including one from Messrs. Powell's Works.

Tyntetown or Matthewstown ? The T.V.R. Co. have had Matthewstown and not Tynte- town printed on the new tickets which they issue to passengers bound 1 for the above place. Who decided ■ that point for them ? The village is ( more widely known as Tyntetown. ( pronounced as Tin Town. The road t leading up to the main streets is extremely rugged, and the Mountain Ash Council would do well to attend t to it. There are pigstves on the i ivayside, within 20 yards or so of t Ragot Street, and the Council might xlso have a word to say concerning ihose. The sooner the better.

Mountain Ash Men at the Front.
Mountain Ash Men at the Front. Several of the Mountain Ash men who are now in France with the Ex- peditionary Force have written home to their friends. All of them are in good health and good spirits. Driver A. S. Moore, Army Service Corps., No. 530, Section 2 Advance Remount Department., British Expe- ditionary Force, writes to his mother saying that he is all right, and that the only thing he misses is a Woodbine, as the French fags are too strong. He has visited some interesting places in France, and the people there are very good to all English soldiers. Mike Cleary, Luther Lewis, and William J. Lewis write from No. 9 General Hospital British Expeditionary Force. The letter is dated 14th Sept. They say, We are as fit as a fiddle- all three of us, enjoying the fresh air, with plenty to eat and drink, and hav- ing plenty of money to spend. Isaac Lewis is at least 200 miles from us. He was sent to another hospital, but he is all right. We would be very grateful if you could send some English papers here." Luther is credited with saying that the girls out there are very pretty, and will outclass even the Mountain Ash damsels. A further letter from Private Luther Lewis from the same place, and dated Sept. 17th, states:—" Dear friends and comrades,—Just a few lines to inform you that Mike and Will have gone. We are a few miles from each other. I have heard that there are 100 more men coming. I hope that it is right, and that all our boys are coming. 1 am enjoying myself grand, and the other two were the same while they were herb. All three of us have had an experience of life, and we are glad that we came out here. Sorry to hear that Lakeman and Mog have been moved, as Mike has sent a letter to them. I am now helping a nurse in a tent hospital. I hope to see you all out here. Remember me to all the boys and tell them to come as soon as they can. It is a treat here. Tell them not to be down-hearted. Let my mother, know that I am all right."

Lloyds Bank's Staff and the War. We understand that nearly 950 members of the staff of Lloyds Bank, i.e., more than 21 per cent, of the whole, have, with the full approval of the Directors, undertaken to serve with His Majesty's forces, and that their positions are being kept open for them until the end of the war without loss of seniority. Some temporary help has been secured by the Bank, but. notwithstanding this, the remainder of. the staff have of necessity been caused a considerable amount of extra work, which is being very willingly rendered.

He was the son )f the late Rev. Daniel Jones, Bap- tist minister at Llwydcoed. Aber- I dare and district had always a warm I corner in his affections, and he had a host of interesting reminiscences bearing on the locality where he I spent his early life.
