BRYANT Royal Field Artillery I British Expeditionary Fores "I had been down with Trench Fever for eight weeks, and although I had been four weeks in Hospital I seemed to derive very little benefit, and eventually returned to my pals. Our Sergeant-Major gave me a bottle of your Phosferine, which I took, and I am pleased to say it has done me so much good that I am now able to take up my duties again. I intend to keep some Phosferine by me, for now I feel a new man again and fit for anything. I shall not be slow in recommending Phosferine to anybody that comes my way, as my kit now has a new extra pocket just the right size to take a tube of the Tablets." This vigorous, self-reliant Soldier knows he could never shake off Trench Fever until he took a course of Phosferine, he ksssws Phcsferine was the only effective check to the nervous exhaustion and stunning of his senses caused by shell shock briefly stated, Phosferine revived the inactive nervq functions and re-charged his system with such lasting I vitality that he is no longer affected by the severest nerve stress or privations encountered.

TRANSPARENT AEBSPUNES Secret Machines Used by the I C f; -.I a r, s. Aeroplane with transparent wings have m»jiut.'vrUired in Germany, accord- ing to statfsnients by captured air men in P, a. This transparency, caused by painting the wings with a seewn composi- tion, does not cause the aeroniane to be- eoirvo quite invisible, but it prove3 a ■Trent obstacle to the mark-men or artil- lery it/f:u who fire from b01-Qw at the ice chine. Another iw»w typ* of aeroplane belongs to the same group of destrovers. The air- men refused to give a deerriIA-ion of this on the ground that it was a ••rilrrary secret. Tbey, however, indicated 'bat the Army Staff valued tLria machine very highly. An order had been issued that these machines must not be per- mitted. under arv rircuinv&jice.s, to go bryond the line of the Germa.n positions, j v a r-e lipf-rl only in so nod.yon raids, and even then ■>nly over the German lines, in order that if jiny of these aeroplanes should be damaged secret wanM aMtintaicod.

IS THE BLOCKADE EFFECTIVE? Seme Amazing Figures of Ames-ican Exports. According to the WKhin^ton correspofn- clont of the Morning Post," Germany has been permitted by the British Gov- ernment to import thrcugh netrtral cona- t-ics eawntial supplies to an amount ax- o<x>ding the amount imported by her in tim-e of peace. In the first ten mtmtfce of 1913 the United States 12^000,000 bushels orf wheat to Germany an(iiiii the correspond- ing period of 1915 only 15.000 bushels were sent; but to balance thi^ deficit the fh?at <*?p?rt to the th('fb9ds, ür- way, Sweden, and Denmark rose from bushels in 1913 to more than ~rQ,&Xi,0d0 barbels last year. The export of other foodstuffs tells the came story. Comparing the- figures for the first ten months in 1313. when the world was at peace and trade ws normal, vnth th6 for 1M correspon{\ period of ??t 'r?ar. tht is from Jaum?ry 1 o October Si, the latent date to which the figures have beej, iriade up, the Ml iog <,ff in German isnports vi,tb in every case compensated by tilie ixtereasod imports of her "aeigitboiiT". Thus, in 1913 Germany took in round Sgnrc-s C,90ti,0QQ of maize from this country an(^oniy 15,000 boabels last year; hut the Danish importations in- i creased from 4.75f),0fl0 bushels to 10,920,000, diose of the NetiierlantiB from 6,900.000 to and other neaL-als increa&ed I their importations from 2,ifi<i,000 to G,-idQ,Q<M). Of course, no American ax- j porter can swear that lie sold maize to Germany, but, as one esportea- eotn- 1 Li'Tired, after looking at the figures: It is simply signifieaut:" In 1913 (Germany bought H&000 bar- rels of wheat flour in the United States, and in 1915 none. In 1913 the Nother- lands imported 708,COO barrels and in 1.915 Other neutrais increased their i importations from 709,0f!0 barrels in 1013) to 3,80,000 barNla last year, (

Of the sons, ono died pnwe years ago while serving witli the 'a:vy; the other three were all with the Colo,iii-s in the oarly days of ih" present war. One, Private Daniel Thomas, was at time in pre-war days, in the Royal Welsh Fusiliers, hut later transferred to the lnniskillmg liegimeat. Ho had serve d nearly his full time when war was declared, and at once rejoined his regi- nwnt. On An?st 13th, 1914, he crossed tb? chaoucl and f -11 in action on Sept. 13th—exactly a month later. A year ¡ e):>psed, however, before the news readied his parents. ] All the daughters are married to men of true British mettle, who have heard and answered the call, while two grand- sons are ako with the Colours. In all, therefore, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas have had f,;ur sons, five sons-in-law, and two grandsons with the Colours. Mr. Thomas senior will be 68 next March, but the so ldier spirit is in hila still. He served 21 years with the Militia, and when the no-,v-s cause a couple of months .ago that hi £ son, Daniel had fallen, he at once offered himself to his country, anxious to strike a blo-w for his fcon's sake. Photos appear of most of the sons. In addition to these, another son-in-law, Pfp. S. Phillips is a bomb-thrower with the Swansea Battalion somewhere in Fran,ce."

LEFT THE CART BEHIND — ■ .0. — — Horse's Wild Rush Through Swansea Streets. An unusual accident occurred near the Shaftesbury Cinema, St. Helen Woad, Swansea, on Monday. A horse and e-art were driven by Ole oujk>7- Harry Parker, of 38, James-,street, Swansea, when the horse took fright at a passing tiamcar. The animal bolted, and the shafts came away from the cart, and the Itorse (the e-till strapped to its Ixxiy) bolted at top speed along the road, leaving I'arker sitting on the cart. The horso proceeded via Bond-stj>ee>t, Oyster- mouth-road as far as Quay Parade, to the North Dock bridge. When parsing unfier th,e York-street bridge, the horse ran into Messrs. Thee. Iyewie and CO. 's motor ear, and damaged it slightly. Eventually the horse was pluckily stopped on Quay Parade by David Llewelyn, of 3, Bryn-terraoe, Middle-road, Cwmbwrla.

BACK TO BLUDGEONS ————- Primitive Methods Adopted in Modern Warfare.

Shepherd:— At last the men in the great war have got down to irsing club?—just ordinary clubs for braining purposes. The German- Austro soldiers are supplied with blndtf^on-, and on certain parts of the Britisli front the Ally soldiers have been furnished with clubs that are covered with spikes. These British clubs look much like the big stick which A meri- can cartoonists u,,d to pictnro one of our ex-Presidents as using. The cluKs were i-yktan d e,i ft)r ii-.e by ii intended for use by tho Germans in enter- ing British trenches on the ely and slay- ing- noiselessly, so that men in other parta of the trenches might not know what was goiny on. The British, needles? to say, have prepared themfelveg to do the MIll. sort of thing w hen occasion arises. Ono of the newest mtspiles in the jrreat war is a huge shell which the (Tenllan. have b??n throwing in the neighbourhood of the Dardanelles. Only airgun,s could throw the shell without exploding it, aadi these new airglln must ho ten inrhet ia bore and mall v feet long. One of those big shells, which fell in the British lin. unexploded, has been taken apart by experts. It was 10 inches in diameter and 1.5 inches high, made of £ 'neet steel with wooden plug dies at each end. This big :te.01 can contained 76 pieces of scrap iron and 2--1 pounds of trinitro- toluol. and tho whole missile weighed 51 po u n d ».— £ I i a nge.
