The Admiralty have informed the Mayor of Lowestoft of their intention to double the rewards already paid to the crews of the trawlers Coriander and J. S.C. for their services in rescuing sur- vivors of H.M. ships Rogue, Aboukir, and Cressy. On the advice of the National Labour Party, the Durham Miners' Association have decided to withdraw Alderman House as the Labour candidate for Mid- Durham. This will avoid a contest with Alderman Galbraith, the Liberal candi- date.

ROSE DAY FOR SWANSEA -I I
ROSE DAY FOR SWANSEA I j A Means of Augmenting the! il Hospital Funds. 1 A meeting of Swansea ladies was held I 8It the Guildhall on Thursday afternoon jk mako arrangements for the annual "oral sale in the streets, etc., on Alex- andra. Day. The Mayor presided. I Among the ladies present were the ^f&yocress, Miss Dillwyn Llewellyn, Mrs. Richo.rd Martin, Mrs. Aeron Thomas, lfrs. David M?Htews, Mrs. Gauntlet, Mrs. Ivid Davies, Mrs. H. D. Williams, Mrs. T. T. Corker, Mrs. Devereaux, Mrs. J SMTis. Mrs. David Williams, also Col. JAsweHyn Morgan, Mr. C. C. Vivian, and Mr. Hug-hes (secretary of the Swan- sea Hospital). The Mayor said there had been a good many collections in Swansea, but they must not for-got the Swansea Hospital. Whatever they did for other charities, they had theix own people at home. There was no reason why they should not Rose Day, and yet no other oharity should be neglected 3It all. The Hospital had done a good work for men from the front, our own soldiers, and the Belffiaiis. He hoped, if they agreed to bike it on, they wouJd have the support of the whole town behind them. Three Reasons Why. Colonel Llewellyn Mocrgan, introduced as one who had devoted, a good deal of time and money to the Hospital, said he felt sure the movement would be sup- ported by every body for three reasons, because it wtis favoured by Queen Alex- andra, because the flowers were made by cripple oliildren, and for the sake of the HospitaJ. On the proposition of the chairman, seconded by Mrs. Richard Martin, it was decided to have a Rose Day, the dote I to be decided later. It was decided that Lady Llewellyn be president, that vice-presidents be all donors of a guinea to the funds. The following ware chosen to form the committee: Mrs. Aeron Thomas, Mi i Llewellyn, Mrs. David Harris, Mi«? Dillwyn, Mrs. H. D. Wng, Mrs. David Williams, Mrs. T. T. Corker, Mrs. Devereaux, Mrs. Richard Martin, Mrs. Gauntlott, and Mrs. David Three Beer atari as were bppolattd: Mr. Hughes, Mrs. H. D. Williams, and Mies Llewellyn. In recognition of the amount collected last year, the meeting was entitled to nominate a life governor, and to this honotir the Ex-Mayoress, Mrs. T. T. Corker, was admitted.

I NO TRUTH IN IT. I
I NO TRUTH IN IT. I STATEMENT THAT SWANSEA ARE RESIGNING FRJM SECONO DIVISION. POOLING OF GATES I I An official announcement was made on behalf of Coventry City yesterday by Mr. I F. Soott Walford, the manager, that the club would not continue in the second division of the Southern League. The London "Daily Chronicle" an- nounces further that it was made known at the Southern League meeting this week that Southend, Gilliugham, Brent- ford and Swansea Town, also signified their intention of not competing in that division. "Pendragon" hears on reIia.Me authority that Swansea Town made no such announcement. "If we resign from ¡ the Second Division and fail to get pro- motion, what are we going to do., was the pointed question put to me by my 1 informant. I Pooling of Gates. The Southen league clubs have, the; "Daily Chronicle" understands, agreed almost unanimously to support a proposal put forward by Exeter City for the pool- ing of gates. The matter was con- sideml at a special meeting of the! Southern League this week, and so strong j was the desire on the part of the clubs for the change to be introduce that the: Man?ement Committee proni?d t? p)'?-' pare a scheme and present it at the annual meeting. Exeter City's proposal is'different from previous one, advanced, inasmuch as it does not mean that the groes gate, after the expenses have been met, shall be equally divided as in Cup Ties. What is suggested is that a percentage of the: entrance money (not including stand receipts) shall be paid over to the visit- ing club. It is the amount of this percentage which has to be decided, and it may be that either '15 per cent, or 331:1 per cent, will be agreed to. Tljt) best explained by ex- ampl-e. It Swindon against Millwall .d Snw Groos attracted a gate of. say, £ 300 after the stand receipts had been de- V'ivcted, they would receive, on a 25 per cent, basis, 975, and if the gate of the re- turn game at Swindon realised £1:?O. Millwall on the same basis would receive S30. Thus the big clubs will in future assist the smaller clubs. THE GOALS DIVIDED Swansea Town and South- ampton Draw in a Friendly. Swansea Town, 2; Southampton, 2. Although there was nothing at stake i n yesterday V> match between Swanse; Town and Southampton, the play for; friendly was surprisingly good. Tli Swansea team had to be re-con si ruoti" i owing to the absence of Hewitt, Brown j and Ben Beynon.. Webber went to tho! half-back line, Anderson played at inside right, and Ball was the pivot." The vacancy, at back waR" filled by Nicholas. The play during the first half an hour was remarkably even. As time wore on Fisher was given an opportunity to show his worth in goal. He effected one bril- liant save. Just before the interval Lee, of Southampton, and Weir, of Swansea scored within a minute of one another. The teams accordingly changed over on level term*. Half way througl1 the second (half Ball sprained Ms ankle so badly that he had to be carried off. Southampton secured the lead through Lec, but Anderson, equalised, and the garae wsrs left drawn. There were about 2,000 spectators pre- sent. Teams:— SWANSEA TOWN.—Fisher; Nicholas and Bulcock; Heath, Duffy and Webber; Read, Anderteon, Ball, Weir and Lloyd. SOUTHAMPTON.—Steve rton; Green and Ireland; ITadley, Dalpy and Met I Alpine; Ourtin, Lee, Kempton, .Jones' and Andrews. Referee, Mr. Phil Beynon, Swansea.

AUTUMN WHEAT. I
AUTUMN WHEAT. Aroording to the reports furnished to the Board by their crop reporters on the ")n-I dition of &utumn-eown wheat in England j and Walæ at the beginning of April, eaxly- sown wheat on light lands promised well, i but in raany districts wheat on heavy land, and aleo late-sown autumn wheat on -igitt land was backward and had loet colour. The Boird of Agriculture and Fisheries are issuing pamphlets, in which they impress upon farmers the benefit to be obtained from top-dressing in most of the case where the wheat is ba?kw&rd. A suitable mariu- ral droesin? would be from lcwt- to 14cwt. of nitrate of eoda, or from cwt. to ?cwt. sulr-bate of ammonia per acre; if more than lcwt. >f either is applied, it is desir- able to give the manure in two dressings at all interval of not less than a fortnight. The later dressing should usually be applied early in M:1.Y. In view of possible delays in I trajieit manures required for top dreeeing-l l should be ordered at once. |

THE CHURCH INDICTEDI
THE CHURCH INDICTED "TAKING UP ATTITUDE OF A SPECTATOR IN THE WAR." a LOUCHOR CONFERENCE VIEWS I A remarkable attack on the churches by a minister, and some outspoken statements in defence, marked tho annual meeting of the North CokN-er Free Church Council held at Penuel. Loughor, on Thursday. The Ecv. D. H. Thomas, Gorseinon, who pre«ridpd. referred at the outset to the re- fusal of a N-eath minister to apeak on the subject of the Churches and the War. He said if that gentleman had read a little more about the operations in France, be would have seen there was ofnecessity a very great Relationship between the churches and the war. The Rer. L. Richards. Gowerton, in the course of an address on The (churches and the War," said that the present was the greatest war of all times. Millions of lives were at stake on the fields of France, and the whole Continent was in a turmoil. The gonius of our country was to-day em- ployed in attempting to discover new in- vention?, new me.-sengers of death, new means of sending men in countless num- bers into eternity. Every district, every church, almost every family, had given their deafest and best to the Army. Nearest Thing to Hell." He had read th.it one gentleman resid- ing near Loughor had not been able to see his way clear to speak on the Church and the War because he thought they were so diametrically opposed to each other, and he had said that war was the nearest thing to hell. The war, proceeded the speaker, would leave its impression Oil the church, and the chun,h fltould also leave its impression on the war. He had never h"ard anyone blaming the Church for this war; in fact, no one could really do so. A gentleman from Sketty had suggested J that the apathy of the.church had made. this war possible. JT? had &s?d. "What of Christianity now I- -I?thcne nf  ,1'P;'j or autbcnty bp?')n?'.n? f,? the church r. Why not call Hold J ? an th? t.h.i?- Such a statement would be bad enough 1 frofti one who was not religious, but when it came from a Christian, it was still worse. He fearad there were more people outside the church than were in it. The church, as a church, had had no voice in the perpetration of this awful war.. Xow that the war had come, what should the church do? Should it condemn war under any and all circumstances? Christ taught faith, pcacc, love, and mercy. But i could we conceive of Christ looking on when a scamp was bullying someone who was weak? Was it fair to allow a bully to go on bullying, to allow an ambitious: man to satisfy his selfish ambition with- out regard to others We should wndemn  war as war, but there was a higher ],,Iv?-I which w<M against the Co?cmuiBg of war under any circumstance. I Pulpits for Recruiting. I Proceeding, the speaker said that he had heard that ministers turned their pulpits and fhapek in10 recruiting platiormg. Per- ?n?Hy, ha did not favour th?. He had heard that some preachers had infused more !"pirit into thMr appeal:; for recruits than they had ever infused in their preach- ing of the Gospel. It was not the duty of ministers to tell man to join; it was their I duty to emphasise principles, and not to go beyond that. The spirit of fair play I actuated our statesmen when they decided to participate in this war. The war was not a result of the apathy of the church; I rather it was brought about by the Kultur of Germany, the balance oi power and I diplomacy. The Rev. D. M. Davies, Waunarlwydd, said the question was a timely one, and he felt that the churches could learn some I lasso us from the war. If they did. then they would do better in the future than they had in the past. The churches to- day had no leader, and they had turned their backs to Christ. The churches did not fight their enemies as they should. If Christ Were Alive- Proceecmg, the rev. gentleman said that on the occasion of a recent visit he had paid to the men in camp he had been very much impressed by the nobility of character with which they were imbued. They were men of a quality that could not be found in the church- He (the speaker) was on one occasion watching two privates playing a game of draughts—some deacons would look on a game of draughts as if it were sinful-end one of tho players, after making a bad move used a wrong ex- pression. He (the speaker) spoke to him, and said he fchould not utter such a word. The private immediately apolo- gised, and said, I'm eorry." If one had occasion to speak similarly to a chapel member, would he say I'm soriy ?" The answer was a decided' no." All reverence of the church was! lost to-day. The rev. gentleman went on to deferm Britain's participation in the war. Ho; aaid it Christ were alive in England to- day, He would have joined the Amy. He would have taken TPk place as a patriot, and would have defended Ilia country and His country's honour Ho was sure the church to-day took up the attitude of a spectator. It behoved the ministers to appeal to men to join the Army as spiritedly as they had appealed to tiheim to join the church. It appeared to him that this war was necessary to arouse the conscience, of the cihurch on the question of temperance. More had been done for temperance during the last i few months than for years before. But; the great lesson of the war was discipline. To-day there was too much quibbling and crosfi-^ueitioning. The church was too divided. They should forget denominations and come togatfcor in one vnat army to fight sin. The Churches' Record. The Rev. Wm. Morgan, Brynteg. di<- XJreed with the previous speaker on several points. Ho oontooded that the church had done its duty all through history, and that this war was not neces- sary to arouse her from her apathy. With reference to the nobility of char- acter s hown in our troops, he aøkc-d where could a man get nobility ualasa from the church? The Revs. Hughes (Cwmtwr<cV, Talfa.n Davies, and Messrs. Joikn. Thomas (Gowerton), and Evans (I.-oughor) also spoke. A vote of thanks was accorded the Rev. L. Richards for his excellent paper.
