 "IN PARLIAMENT | Ui .hanB_n OBIMiTTEE TO CGfiSIDEB LEHOTHEMiHG I LIFE OF THE HOuSE j WAR SECSET4RYS SEAT I In the House of Commons on Wedues- av Mr. Swift MaclSeill asked whether ip Foreign Ofhcs rula still obtain-i that ermans of military age, being subjed to rilitarv service, are to bo regarded as lembers of the enemy's forces and liable > capture if found on board ii e u t i, ai kips. Lord Robert Cecil said no change was ontempLated in connection with the rule i the practice referred to. The Govern- lent believed that the practice wa.s in full ceordance with the law of nations. FIRST CLASS FOR PRISONERS. t. Mr. Ashley asked whether the Hecre- ary for War was aware that on the 6th illy tome 65(1 German non-commissioned officers and men. unwounded prisoners of .ar. were eent from Southampton, to the vorth in a train consisting almost en- irely of first-class corridor carriages and a loons: w hether similar accommodation s provided by the German military luthorities for our men when captured; tnd whether English privates in the united Kingdom, when moved by train or vhen travelling under railway warrant, .ravel first-class. Mr. Forster said he was informed that i o trains were run to the north on the day named containing German prisoners of war. In the whole of the two trains there were ten first-class compartments. The. military authorities specially asked for corridor carriages in order to provide for escort duties, and the rolling stock mentioned was all that was available. lie imagined the Gc'rman authorities would in similar circumstances use any rolling stock available. (Derisive laughter.) The answer to the third part of the question was in the negative. Sir A. -Alarkhai-ti asked whether the War Office had not information that British prisoners of war were conveyed in Ger- many in cattle trucks? Mr. Forster: I suppose the Germans convey them just as we do, in any rolling l stock available. A Member: They are laughing at you. WOOL CLIP PRICES. Mr. Forster announced that the percen- tag of pre-war prices, on wool clip had been increased from 30 to 35. RELEASE OF IRISH PRISONERS. Mr. Samuel said tbe Advisory Commit- tee had recommended the release of 460 pri&onprs arrtd on suspicion in connec- tion wilb the Irish rebellion, and this wc'L?d be given dff'ct to at onCe. MESOPOTAMIA. Mr. Asquith said he did not think it an opportune moment to disc-iitss the conduct of the campaign in Mesopotamia. There Nrt-.s 110 desire to keep back anything, and non one was more desirous than the Gov- eminent to have a diseuesion. Sir E. Carson said he "olJld put the j question of Mesopotamia next week, and if the reply Via.S unsatisfactory, he would move the adjournment of the Ptouise. V ECONOMIC CONFERENCE. Mr. Asquith said the Government had npprcved of the reflohitions passed by the Paris Economic Conference. L LIFE OF PARLIAMENT. Mr. Asquith said the Government had j decided to ask the House of Commons to appoint a Select Committee, to which all information in the possession of the Gov- ernment as to registration and franchise '()uld be referred. It was obvious that the life of Parliament must be extended J to some extent. No member of the Gov- ] eminent intended to t-it on the Select i Ccninr.HiK'. y Mr. Asquith introduced ? ^ill to make temporary provision, rendering unnecee- sary the re-election of members on ac- t oeptance of certain o8ices. The ministers ¡ effected were the n?w War Secretary and j ? the Mini?Lpr eu Munitions. One r?a?on hy a spcria l measure is necessary to cover the cases named is :hat t h Ministry of Munitions was not included in the schedule of the Act .)f 1867, nor was it added when the office fras create Oast year. It is contended by I f;Gme sticklers that Hr. Lloyd George was fiot quite in order as a member of Par- liament without re-election when he he- i; came Minister of Munitions.

p- BLIf^D BOY PAUPERS. 1 Interesting Discussion by Swansea Guardians. The Workhouse Visiting Committee met Tawp Lodge, Mount Pleasant, on Wed- nesday afternoon, Mr. Abe Freedman in the chair. The Master reported that a. blind boy. aged 12 years, was in the institution. The boy had been sent by the Pontypridd Education. Committee to the Blind Insti- tution, Swansea, and the secretary, Mr. Joseph Hall, had put the boy in the work-, Mr. Win. Owen: Be should never have come here: he has come here to get his first taste of a workhouse. The Clerk said Mr. Joseph Hall had written him slating that the children at the Blind Institution would shortly be going: home for their holidays, and as the boy had nowhere to go they must send him there. Mr. Win. Owen strongly objected to the boy being stlit to the. workhouse. He stated that son ox work bad been going on for years, It was time these, things were put under proper control. Mr. Wm. Evans: Is Mr. Joseph all prepared to take him back afterwards? The Clerk: Jam afraid not. Mr. Owen: Mr. Joseph Hail is the. com- m if tee: he decided everything there. I was appointed, to attend at the meetings of the .blind for five years, but never a committee meeting Avas called. As I have sa id. Mr. Hall decides everything. Mr. Ball: He has made the boy destitute by sending him here. The clerk was instructed to look into the matter at once. A Avoroan attended and asked the com- mittee that her child, who had been sent to Bridgend Asylum from the workhouse, be allowed to return'to her. Mr. Owen supported the application. He j said the mother had visited her child at I Bridgend, and had come away very upset. She found he: daughter with a large scalp wound, which she had been told was in- flicted by another lunatic. He objected to the conditions at Bridgend. The Lunacy Commission Avould do a good turn, he i stated, if they called in there occasionally. The committee decided to recommend: the discharge of the child.
I GOWER FARMER'S APPEAL.
I GOWER FARMER'S APPEAL. Alleged False Statements to Local Tribunal. A hint was given at Swansea Borough Tribunal on Wednesday that a prosecu- tion may be instituted against one of the applicants for making an alleged false statement. A claim was made for total exemption for the son of a hay and corn merchant who owns a farm in Gower. It transpired there was a difference between the statement now made by applicant and what he said when it was a question which of two sons should go. The evidence given 011 Wednesday was that the son was working for hi" father, whereas, it was alleged, his previous statement was to the effect that lie owned the business. THE MAYOR'S WARNING. After the Bench had retired, the Mayor remarked that lie was very pleased to say that was the Br&t occasion they had found [ it necessary W retire, but the evidence given in the case was 6o unsatisfactory that they felt bound in justice to the ap- plicant to give it their serious considera- tion. The statements made, that day were not consistent with what he said at. a pp- ;vkm# fitting. The Tribunal felt so j strongly on the matter that they had de- cided to review the evidence, and il was quite possible, a prosecution might follow. He wished it to be generally understood that anyone making a false statement he- fore a tribunal was liable on Mimmanry conviction to imprisonment, for a term not exceeding «-ix months. i Mr. W. A. Thomas, who appeared to fmpport tin? application, explained that he did not, represent the applif-ant at the I previous hearing, and did not know what j evidence was then given.

WALES m THE ORDER. I RESPECTED MORE IS BREACH TBAH OBSERV ANGE 7 I "SLIPPit%'G THE HALF-PINT" i A correspondent has sent, to the Daily j A corrE'spondent ¡HiS s.ent. t.) the" Dai1y Express a remarkable letter, showing the way in which the order of the Central (Liquor) Control Board is Evaded in the mining valleys or Wales. "There can be little doubt," he says, that the order in praciice is a failure and a farce. Regular customers, when alone, are supplied with beet's, wines, and spirits at all hours of the day. The' rule in some places is for the customer to ask for a soft drink/ a-s temperance beverages are | called, and to ?lip the half-pint after it. The term slip t11e haJJ-pint> has come into vogue in connection with the order of the Board of Control, and means that the beer is drunk right away and the glass immediately handed back to the barman, The greatest farce in connection with the Board's order is seen in Wales on Sun- day. The Board has re-opened these lic-cnsecl places on the Sabbath for the sale of soft drinks.' The same practices fol- low on Sunday as on other days. Some amusing incidents have come to my notice. A traveller called in a public- house at ]0 a.m. and eaid he supposed he could not be supplied. Oh, yes, you But what about the Control order?' Oll, hang the Control Board/ came the answer. A military officer, a railway inspector, and a friend of mine were in a licensed house before 0 p.m. Despite the treating order they treated each other. Intoxicants were served up to 9 p.m. At 9 p.m. aaother round was brought in, contrary to jaw. The officer put the key in the door and turned it, and then put it in his pocket. I have learned that in onopublic-hotise a male voice party meets on Sunday morn- ings and Sunday afternoons. They sing to show their bona-cdcs, and drink beer to keep themselves in form. In their locality the half-pint is now called a halter.' H
IFFGR ESTFACH RATEPAYERS.
FFGR ESTFACH RATEPAYERS. IAfte-ge-d Grave- N-Lllisar,e.-I An Al!eged Grave Nuisance. A largely attended meeting of Fforeost- fach ratepayers was held at London House, when Mr. Win. Thomas presided.— The nuisance near George-terrace, Middle- road. was dealt with.—Messrs. John Daviee, T. Hopkins, and J. Matthews, the members chosen to meet the Surveyor, gave a report of what they had done. They had attempted to secure the co-oper- ation of Mr. Samuel Da vies, the builder, but lie had refused to move in the matter. Consequently they had arranged that the Surveyor (should EN. to filling i? 'the pond whence the o&enpive odour ( I a1'O[;(" which, howevar, would be but a temporary remedy. Five weeks had ?elap6ed since this conference, but nothing had as yet been done. There was only one cesspool for 16 houses. One cf the ten- ants had written to the Rural District Council threatening proceedings should hio- family suffer in'consequence of the nuisance. That body had replied, placing the responsibility on the owner, as cess- pools had been provided for in the. plans (passed by them. The members of the deputation complained of the reception accorded them by Mr. Samuel Da vies, the owner who ( being present) said that the j deputation bad no authority to sec him! on the matter, and that cesspools were of no avail. Following a 1w,d",11 discussion, the fol-1 lowing motion by Councillor J. Davies, seconded by Mr. John Bevan, was carried: That we protest against the fact that the Surveyor had not duly carried out his promise, and that, he had not, made the arrangements <? settled with the (\eputa- tion.The Secretary wae asked to convey the r<?solution to?the Surveyor.—Jt was also resolved that the District and Parish Councils he written to asking them to compel the property owners to put cess- pools in accordance with the plans passed by their authority.—A deputation was j also chosen to wait upon the Rural Dis- trict Council at their next meeting to press the matter forii-ard.-It was agreed to hold the next monthly meeting on a Saturday evening in order that nigliti workmen might I)a- afforded an oppoi-tuli-i 'ity of being present.

J. iCod\,s moved that they should select a team for this year. This was carried. '? Iiis wa-, mrr i M r D. J. cluire6 moved that they should not play more than four rinfas, as was suggested last year. After some discussion ,as to it being against tho rules to play more than four rinks, this %,as carried. On a proposition by Mr. W. H. Palmer. seconded by Mr. A. Munday, and 8up-1 ported by every member present, it was 'd?'ded to entertain the wounded soldiers to a game and tea. The arrangements leit in the hands of the selection I committee. The enthusiasm. shown over this matter augurs well for a very pieman t afternck?n. Mr. Palmer varn?d the members that amongst the soldiers they will find some very good bowl ers. The team will play a trial match at Brynmill.

The cost of the car was defrayed from the Joint War Relief Fund, which in November, 191-1, wa-s formed in connection with the company's eight works. The fund was originally formed for the pur- pose of providing for the comfort of the dependents of the company's employes who are serving with the colours. Each employe ha« a sum deducted from his or her wages each week, and the company contribute an equivalent amount, and in this way thousands 01 lJDunds have been raised. MAGNITUDE OF THE SCHEME. Some idea, may be formed of the scheme's magnitude- when it is explained that at the company's Llanelly work", alone no lees than 1:8,600 has been paid to date to the dependents of the company's employes now with -c forces..In addi- tion the following £ rants have been made:— £ 98 to the Llanellv War Relief Fund, £ 50 to the headquarters of the British Red Cross Society, S95 for tobacco and cigarettes to the soldiei's, Xa5 for two Christmas trees for the children, £ 200 to the Llanelly Red Cross Hospital..1:4-00 during the current year for upkeep of the Llanelly Red Cross Hospital, and £ 100 to other war funds. Messrs. Richard Thomas and Co. have also formed them- selves into a, war savings association, affiliated with the National War Savings Committee, and with the view of inducing the people at all their works to invest, interest is paid on each war eavinge certificate of 15s. tid. from the, date that the tirst tied uction is made from their pay, i.e., when a worker authorises the company to purchase on his or her behalf; one certificate or more this is done forth- with, and then the deduction d the sum specified is made from the pay at the office weekly. An encouraging response. has already been made.

GORSEINON "OLD BOYS." !
GORSEINON "OLD BOYS." Presentations to Officer and Private. A very enthusiastic reception and pre- sentation meeting was held at Libanus Yeetry on Wednesday evening, over which the Rev. Talfan Davies (pastor )prosided. The Chairman at a suitable break in tji-s miscellaneous musical programme called up to the platform Lieut. William Honey and Pte. D. J. Morgan, both "old boys" of Libanus. He alluded to Licut. Honey's 19 years' service, during which he had reached the highest non-commissioned rank and hnallv been granted a. commis- sion and the Military Cross for cerviam rendered on the battlefields of France. In the name. of the church, he presented him with a dispatch case, suitably in- scribed, and to Pte. D. J. Morgan, who s c i?i b e- i and ti-) D.. had been invalided out of the service through wounds, after peeing active service abroad, a dressing case, wishing them at the same time Ipng life and happi- ness. Both. suitably responded, and Lieut. Honey, notwithstanding years spent in different parts of the world, still clings to the Welsh language. GERMAN BOY'S HUMANITY. I The Lieutenant addressed the children, I and related the followng incident: The battle of Loos began at 6.30 in tb? morn- ing Qf a very hot day, and soon, as a result of this terrible struggle, éretchr bearers were ?nga?cd in bringing in th? 1 wounded. One party, noticing a lad in German uniform bending down over the form of another soldier, proceeded to the spot. They discovered that the German lad. who was only 18. had bandaged up an English solder's leg which had been blown away at the knee, thus preventing further loss of blood, and eventually saving the man's life. If any enemy could do that, then, surely," he said to the children, you can be kind to each other." The following contributed to the pro- gramme Mrs. Williams (accompanist), Mrs. Lloyd, and Mrs. Lewis: Misses S. Collns, L. Davies. E. Maddocks, G. John and B. Rees; Messrs, W» Jones, Rhyg Walters, James Daniel and Tom Jones. Other addresses were given by Messrs. Ben Davies, David Williams, and Edward Hughes. Finally, both national anthems were sung in rousing fashion.

THE TOLL OF JUTLAND I I--!
THE TOLL OF JUTLAND I I 1 tIGHT CRa IPPLED i I ID THE DQCKVAftOS I | WHAT OUR NAVAL GUNHEBS BID I Despite the frantic efforts to seal \rH.¡ helmshaven from prying eyes, important information as to the extent of Germany's losses in men and material continues to leak through. From a reliable source I learn (writes the "Daily News and Leader" I Rotterdam correspondent) that a large part of the German Navy was either sunk, or is at present receiving urgent attentions from repairers in the docks. Here is a for- midable list of important ships now in hospital, some having been riddled so far at; the superstructure is concerned, and! one having had the whole superstructure swept clear. Dreadnought Battieships (5). I Konig, Grosser Kurfurst, and Mark- j graf (2,5,000 tons each); and Kaiser and Kaiserin (21,700 tons each). Battle Cruisers (4). Derhlinger (S,OOO tons). Seydlitz (2-1,6-10), Moltke i22.ti!0). and Yon der Tann (19,100)—all but the last named are Dreadnoughts. Older Battleships (2), ] Ifossen Rheinland. (18,600). Small Cruisers (4). Eegeiisburg (5.0W tons). Stettin (•450), Frankfurt (unknown), Kola (L2M). It is impossible to give absolute details of the damage suffered by each ship, but in regard io the Seydlitz it is possible to state that she is little better than a wreck. She suffered the most withering tire pos- sible for a ship to receive and yet keep afloat. So accurate was the fire directed by our gunners upon this cruiser that "jyhen the gathering mists rolled up and threw a protecting veil over her all her super-structure had been swept away by the hurricane of shells, and a great por- tion of the crew had gone with it. She was taken in tow, and every effort, was made to reach port during the night; but the tow p?rt?d, and ?he sank in shallow water when very near home. She has ?inre bc-en salved and placed in dock. The Moltke ha6 also euiTerpd seYel'e]v'l together with a battleship of the KOlli c!l 1) cf thc? Koil?, class, the older battleships Ee?eu and Hheinland, and the four ,Lmall cruisers, j The story goes that the 30-o-centimetro (12in.) guns proved unsatisfactory during i the battle, and that as far as possible me a- j sures arc being taken to re-arm the vessels.

I To the Editor. Sir,—I read with much interest the viewrf vd Mr. T. J. Ik-.es, Director of Edu- cation for Swansea as given by "Awstin" in your issue or Monday Oil the teaching of Welsh. It is rather depressing to hear I continually .so much about the preserva- tion of the Welsh language in its native l home, but it i- philosophy not to bewail things too much it is more profitable to endeavour to remedy matters. One hears very little of scholaiships being awarded i in Wales /or proficiency in Welsh; a little is done I know, !?)< that is quh? insig- mt'cant.

Sir,in reference to a paragraph in your paper oi this evening in which you state thft in consequence of the calling up of farm -labourers for military service in the Neath "Sural area life on the farms to-day round of eeasoles-; toil" for the men over military age who have been left behind, may I, as District Representative of the County of Glamor- g-an Women's Farm Labour Committee (under the County Councils call the atten- tion of your readers to the following facts. In and within one mile of Neath we have at present 38 women who h.avo registered for war service on the land, of whom four are dairymaids- We have failed to find emplovment for a single one of thC'.r women, with thf exception of 12, who were called up for a few days' haymaking. The mem bers of the Neath and District Farmers Co-operative Society have been circularised weeks ago, with no result. We I have the women ready, but no farmers will employ them. I am informed on good authority that our failure to place women on the land in the Neath ami is due i8 (1) no unusual shortage of labour existing; (2) colliers helping on the land out of their own work- ing hours; (3) prejudice against women workers. In those parts of the country where women workers have been employed they have been found al>le to accomplish j 1".) the satisfaction of their employers not otilv the lighter kinds of farm work, but work of a nature hitherto done only by men. This is another of the surprises of the war. Yet in the County of Glamorgan, out of 389 women registered for farm work, only 42 have been placed. We are now about to take steps to place such women, as are ivilling to leaNe the district with farmers in other parts of Wales and in England where the.demand for women workers is keen.—Believe me, yours faithfully.
