MESOPOTAMIA INQUIRYI
MESOPOTAMIA INQUIRYI SWANSEA MEMBER'S AMENDMENT¡I AQiki'TEt) tif GOVEkNMEnT In the House of Commons on Thursday, during the proceedings in Committee on the Special Commissions (Dardanelles and Mesopotamia) Bill, Mr. Asquith moved to insert in the clause the following a.s the names of the Commissioners for inquiring into the operations in Mesopotamia: The Kight Hon. Lord George Francis Hamil- ton, the Earl of Donouglimore, Lord Hugh Cecil, M.P., Sir Archibald Williamson, M.P., and Mr. John Hodge, M.P. SIR ALFRED MONO. Sir Alfred Mond moved that Lieut.-Com- mander J.C. Wedgwood, M.P., be added to the Commission inquiring in to affairs in Mesopotamia. He said: Personal dis- cussion in this matter is somewhat in- vidious; but, able as the members of this .Commission are, there is not one of them who has seen any kind of active service or, to my knowledge, has had any special ex- perience of recent campaigns. We all know that my hon. and gallant friend, Lieut.-Commander Wedgwood, has seen service both in the Dardanelles, in East Africa, and in France. I emphasise the Dardanelles and East, Africa, because it seams to me that a great many points on these campaigns must turn on what I may call more or less tropical conditions. Therefore, I have felt that it would be a v-iiy great advantage to the Commission to have Commander Wedgwood upon it. I am sure no one will question the ability of my hon. and gallant friend as a mem- ber of the Commission, and he has seen recent warfare in similar conditions and in similar climates 1o those in which the campaign in Mesopotamia took place. Fur- ther, as originally arranged, the Meso- potamia Commission only had five names, compared with six for the Dardanelles Commission, and I do not know why origi- nally a smaller number of members was put on the one Commission than on the other. Now, of course, the Dardanelles Commission has seven members, and the Mesopotamia Commission has only five. Therefore, I do not think it is unreason- able to maintain a balance. I hope the Prime lTinister-vill accept this amend- ment so as to avoid the necessity of going again to a division. "NO MORE POPULAR MEMBER." I The Prime Minister: On the last occa- sion with regard to the Dardanelles Com- mission I took no exception whatever to the qualifications of my hon. friend who was proposed on the Commission, and I was very careful that the Government should take no part in the division on the question. The only objection it seemed to me was that it was adding to the. size of the Commission. Here the Commissioners consist of fewer names, and that objection, therefore, does not apply with the same force. As regards the personal qualifica- tions of Commander Wedgwood, I do not think there is anyone in the House better fitted to take part in an inquiry of this kind. We occasionally have little breezes and troubles with him, but there is no mere popular member in any quarter of ,the House or one who has distinguished himself more in this war, in the Darda- nelles, in East Africa, or in France. He has seen all the various theatres of war and all the various varieties of operations The amendment was agreed to, amid c heers, without further debate. DARDANELLES INQUIRY. Pembroke Member Added. -Sir H. Dalziel (Kirkcaldy Burghs, L.) moved that the name of Mr. Koch (Pem- broke, L.) should be added to the Com- mission. He was really the author of the inquiry, which he had suggested six or eigiit months tltel- was as yet no Welsh member on the Commission, and that ought to be a consideration, as Welsh soldiers fought at Gallipcli. M; A&quitu said it was an invidious tiling to discuss the claims of a fellow member. He did not in the least question the fitness of the hon. member, who was one of the ablest of the younger members; but the Commission had not been ar- ranged on any consideration of nation- ality, and lie would much prefer that the Commission should be kept in the form in which it was introduced to the House. Mr. Williams (Carmarthen District, L.) and Mr. John (Denbighshire, E., L.) tirged the appointment of a Welsh repre- sentative. Mr, Williams said it was well known that at SuvJa Bay the Welsh Divi- sion met with great disaster. i The House divided, and there voted:— 1 For the amendment 105 Against 92 Majority for 13 the announcement of the figures was re- ceived with cheers.
SERIOUS SWANSEA FIRE. I
SERIOUS SWANSEA FIRE. L500 Damage at Ship Chandler's Stores. A serious tire occurred at the premises of Messrs. Uhas. 11. lluss, Ltd., the well- known wholesale bonded and ship's store merchants, in Prospect-place, Swansea, during the early hours of Friday morn- ing. The rear of the stores abuts on Bath- lane, The fire brigade received a call at 1.20 a.m. from P.C. (31) Jones, who was on duty in the vicinity, and they arrived smartly on the scene at 1.23 with the motor engine. By that time the Hames had got a strong hold on the ground floor at the back, and threatened the destruction of the whole of the premises owing to the inflammable nature of the stock. The firemen set to work with one standpipe and four lengths of hose, and succeeded by a judicious at- tack on the ?a'neA in completely master- ing the outbreak by ten minutes to three, the fire being then practically ex- tinguished. Much praise is due to Inspector Bound and his men for the smart way in which they went about their difficult task. The damage is roughly estimated at £5UO. CURIOUS FEATURES OF THE OUTBREAK. A curious feature of the fire, the cause of which is unknown, is that in the back stone room the lfames did the work prac- tically all on one side, the more inflayi- mable shock, guch as barrels and drums of oils, which \^ere stocked on the other aide, being practically untouched. The firemen were able to remove ahout half a dozen casks of oil int, Batli-lane. A hole was burnt through t-he ceiling, the pan- Mge to the front shop was charred, while the walls and windows of the latter were blistered by the great hea.t, and a large quantity of the stock spoilt. The office upstairs in the centre of the premises escaped serious damage. The debris left by the fire presented a curious sight. The miscellaneous articles and commodities in the stock of a ship ohancller's were littered about in strange confusion. Hams hanging from a beam on the first floor had been roasted and frizxi?d, and melted cheeses lay in various? shapeless masses. A scorched side of bacon was mixed up with burnt ropes, life- belts, hags of soda, and lubricating oil tins.

AT THE TRIBUNALS. I
AT THE TRIBUNALS. I LLANELLY. I A meeting of the Llanellv Borough Tri- bunal was held on Thursday evening, when the Deputy-Mayor (Aid. D. James Davies) presided. SADDLER AND COLLIERY WORK. I A young saddler appealed for exemption. Since the last .hearing appellant had been before the Army Medical Board and had passed for general service. Appellant's employer said he would have to give up his colliery work if the man had to join the Army. Postponed for one month on condition that appellant joined the V.T.C. AN ARCHITECT'S APPEAL. I An architect and surveyor appealed for further postponement, and said that his partner and assistants were already ærv- ing in the Army. He had in hand work of such nature that if left would mean serious loss to the firm and the clients. Postponed for a fortnight in order that appellant might appear before the Army Medical Board. THREE SOLDIER BROTHERS. A joiner who appealed for exemption said he was the eldest of four brothers, one of whom, Corpl. Sidney Picfcon Evans, was killed in Gallipoli. His other two brothers were with the forces in Egypt. His father was a cripple, and he had a sister to maintain. Postponed for six months on condition that he joined the V.T.C. A BREWERY BOTTLER. A bottler employed in the mineral water department of a brewery had his appeal for further postponement supported by his employers. Mr. D. Jennings, who represented the company, said that 60 of the employes had joined the Forces. (-apt. Morton Evans: How many have gone down to Pembrey? Mr. Jennings: The company cannot help thai a large number have gone down there. Postponed for three months on condi- tion that appellant joined the V.T.C. A DOCTOR'S CHAUFFEUR. A doctor appealed on behalf of his SJ1f- gery attendant and chauffeur. Mr. Wm. Dii-ies, who represented the appellant, said the man was indispensable. Four of the doctor's sons were in khaki. Deferred. VERY CLEVER." A wheelwright who had not attested ap- pealed for exemption: Mr. T. R. Ludford said the appellant was in a certified occupation. Aid. Nathan Griffiths (military represen- tative): Will you show where it is stated that a wheelwright is in a certified occupa- tion? The Clerk: I thought it was there. Ald. Griffiths: It is not, and being a lawyer you ought to know this. Mr. Ludford: Oh, no; a lawyer does not know evervthing. Ald. Griffiths: Well, he is not in a. cer- tified occupation. Mr. Ludford: Don't you think it would be easier if rofi had said that instead of being very clever? (Laughter.) Ald. Griffiths: We have to deal with very clever people, you know. Adjournment for a fortnight in order that the appellant might go before the Army Medical Board. MUMBLES. I The Mumbles Tribunal met on Thurs- day, Mr. J. Cumming Evans presiding. The military authorities were represented by Captain Harold Williams. There were ten appeals. YOUNG UNMARRIED MEN. I The Chairman referred to the number of young and unmarried men who had appeared before the Tribunal who were still to be seen parading the streets and the majority of whom had been refused exemption. It made it very difficult for the tribunals to deal with married cases when guch a state of afrairs was allowed to exist. Captain Williams: There might be a simple explanation of the whole matter. However, he would be glad to be fur- nished with a list of these men. He would then deal with the matter. PROVISION FIRM'S APPEAL. A large provision firm applied for total exemption for their traveller, who was formerly granted six weeks' exemption. The staff had been considerably depleted by reason of a large number of their travellers being called up, The application wa% refused on the ground that salesmen were not required, and they were therefore not indispensable. The business could easily be done by letter post. GROCER'S ASSISTANTS. A grocer renewed his application on behalf of two of his assistants. One of the assistants was refused extension of time, while the other was granted exemp- tion until the end of August. QUARRY WORKERS. An appeal put in on behalf of three men employed at a local quarry and lime works was also refused. WIFE AND MOTHER-IN-LAW ILL. A mason appealed for further extension of time on the ground of his wife's illness. His mother-in-law was also ill. Apptication refused, but he was granted leave to appeal. FARMER AND YOUNG SHIRKERS, A small farmer, 40 years of age, al., pealed for total exemption, on the ground that he thought all the young men t-bould first lie called up before the married men. It transpired that this applicant's ten- ancy of his small holding expires on Sep- tember 29tb next. He was therefore granted exemption until the end of Sep- tember. SUBTERFUGE TO ESCAPE SERVICE. 1 A commercial traveller, 40 years of age, applied for exemption. He had not at- tested. In a letter which accompanied the application, he asked that his case be adjourned -anW the next sitting of the tribunaL Captain Williams: I find that this man started work in a munition factory to-day. I therefore object to giving him exemp- tion. Application refused. RED CROSS MARRIED MEN. I I A letter was read from Mr. C. Russell I Peacock, asking tho tribunal to give 61-(?ial consideration to the appeals of married men who were members of the I local Red Cross detachment. Captain Williams: This cannot be done. I

The Board of Trade announce that, with a view to economising the tonnage em- ployed in the importation of oranges, it has been arranged that on and after August 7 all such imports (except the produce of the British Empire) must be carried in specially licensed ships. It is explained that, generally speaking, import licenses will be granted not for specific consignments, but for any or all consignments which are brought by ve-e ls specially licensed for the purpose. The folowing have been appointed to act as an advisory oommittlee to give eff-ect to the scheme:—Mr. Benjamin Cohen, K.C. (chairman), Mr. Walter Grenwood, Mr. Harry M. Isaacs, and Mr. A. H. Van Cruisen. Applications for licenses should be addressed to the Controller, Depart- ment of Import Restrictions, 22, Carlisle- jjlaee, Westminster.
iWAR MUNITIONS ___i * j
WAR MUNITIONS i THE SAVING OF COAL AND THE USE Ot GAS ESSENTIAL BYE-PRODUCTS What part can I play? There are thousands of housewives throughout the country, especially those whose sons have taken their place in Britain's khaki-clad line, who, with characteristic patriotism of the mothers of Lngland and Wales, are eager to do even more at home to bring about the ter-, niination of the most appalling war in history. We cannot fight," they cry, "but we want to continue our sacrifices to bring our sells iiome again." It is the upper- most desire in the minds of our woman- hood—especially in Swansae, where so many sons are facing death each day- and we feel it the opportunity to refer to the <X)gent appeals which have from time to time been made by the Ministry of Munitions for a reservation of the coun- try's coal supplies to obtain these bye- products so vastly important in the manu- facture of shells. WOMAN'S TASK. It is a woman's task, and she alone can take her stand in the homo by complying with the earnest request of the Uovern- ment, for, with recent happenings in France and on isea, there never was a time when the shell question was so urgent than at the present moment. It is, indeed, not by any means difficult to arrive at a condUBiOll why coal is destined to play such an exceedingly Ull. portant part in the country's welfare. Not' only is the mineral dear beyond all expectation aud procurable with difficulty, but the stage JHl come when there is all absolute shortage of liquid fuel for in- ternal combustion engines, and of a short age of the dye stuffs that are made from variou6 products of the destructive dis- tillation of coal—partly because of a lack of raw material. UTILISATION OF COAL. I Therefore the utilisation of coal has to be considered not only from the point of view of securing a maximum output of heat energy, but the far more comprehcn- sive aspect that coal is to be regarded not merely as a source of energy, but as the raw material from which both liquid fuel and the primary materials required by the dye stuffs industry and other branches of ojganic chemical industry are derived— not, of course, forgetting the high explo- sives—and also as the potential source of vast quantities of ammonia. VALUABLE BYE.PRODUCTS. The bye-products are the important fea. tures, and it should be remembered that when coal is used in an ordinary domestic grate, or in a furnace, the valuable bye. products are absolutely wasted, tie only residue being soot, which has very little commercial value, and is a constant source of trouble and annoyance. It must be computed, .too, that for every kl spent on the purchase of coal for domestic purposes, at least another £ 1 must be allowed for the extra cleaning, labour, deterioration of furniture and decorations, extra cleaning of curtains, i and extra painting. When coal is carbonised at a gets works, in addition to the gas and coke which are obtained, tar and other products remain, and they can be turned to so many re- quirements of national importance that it is only possible to indicate a few:—Disin- fectants, explosives, motor spirit, dyes, agricultural fertilisers, and basis for the manufacture or pharmaceutical and photo- graphic chemicals. THE USE OF GAS. I The larger gas undertakings throughout the country are loyally taking their share in complying with the urgent appeal of the Government, and in the windows of the Swansea Gas Light Co. in Wind- Ftreet there is a magnificent display which brings home forcibly to the individual the importance of the by-products of coal, and proves conclusively that the use of gas for all purposes-for motor vehicles, for the home, and for refrigerating plant, is far more economical than coal, and by resorting to the substitution of gas for crude coal the people of Wales—to men- tion Swansea, In particular-are helping to tvin the war, for the gas company will then have the opportunity of extracting from the mineral those essential by-pro- ducts which are indispensable for shell manufacture. FINE LOCAL DISPLAY. It is a magnificent exhibition, both from educational and interesting points of view. The show is probably unequalled in Swan- sea's history, for* years have gone by with- out people realising the great value of tho mineral, which takes many thousands of years to form, and the bye-products can be lost to the country for ever in a few minutes, and we strongly urge our readers to avail themselves of the unique oppor- tunity of seeing the display.
I ACCIDENT NEAR NEATH. I
ACCIDENT NEAR NEATH. I Party of Haymakers Severaly I Injured. A serious accident befel a party of hay- makers near Neath on Thursday night. The party numbered six, some of whom were women. They were proceeding down the Cimla Hill, a very steep declivity lending into the .town, when tho horse attached to the "wagon they occupied bolted. The driver did his utmost to pull the animal up. but his efforts were futile. The horse was only stopped by falling, the rewilt of which was overturning of the wagon, its occupants being thrown vio- lently to the ground. All were injured, some rather seriously. The horse was destroyed Mr. John Howden, hay and corn merchant, Neath, for whom t he hay- makers had been working, was soon on the scene of the accident. He drove the in- jured to their respective homes and eav* that they received every care and atten- tion. There were originally, sayis a later re- port, eeren occupants of the wagon. Directly the horse bolted two lads jumped off and escaped with a shaking. The re- maining occupants were: Ernest Inkman, the driver, Dudley-street, Neath; D. M. Howell, London-terrace, Cwinavon; Miss Theresa Bo wen, 91, Lewis-road, Neath; Mrs. A. Morel), 36, Alfred-strfvt, Neath; and Mies Muriel Jenkins, 30, Alfred- street, Neath. All -,Pere badly cut and bruised, and are suffering eeverely from shock.
TOLD IN POLICE COURTS
TOLD IN POLICE COURTS I SWANSEA. Friday.-Befoi-o Messrs. Gwilym Morgan (in the chair), Dr. Nelson Jones, Joseph Devonald, and David Griffiths. A WANDERING RUSSIAN. John Solomon (10), hawker, was charged that, being an alien—a iti-issiaii-hid en- tered the prohibited area of Swansea with- out having in his possession an identity book duly filled and attested, and also with failing to give notice of his presence in the town to the alien registration officer at Swansea.

He had always tried to observe the regulations, but not being able to read or write, he was at a disadvantage. He was bound over in the sum of S10 to be of good behaviour for 12 months. LLANELLY. THEFT OF EXPLOSIVES. An Irishman named Dounis Mollan, re- siding at Burryport, was charged with stealing a quantity of explosives at Pembrey. P.C. John Williams said that defendant when charged stated that ho took a hand- ful to show the people at his lodgings. IUj also intended taking some of it home to show his mother, but had no bad inten- tion. The Bench, in imposing a fine of 22, said that the next person found guilty of steal- ing explosives would be sent to prison without the option of a fine.

APE CAUSES ALARM. I
APE CAUSES ALARM. I Paris, July 26—A few evenings ago the President and Mme. Poincare were taking an after-dinner stroll in the gardens of the Elysees when the President was sum- moned to read some despatc h es that had just coroe from the front. He had hardly reached -bir, study, however, says the "Cri de Paris," when he heard fccreams from the garden, and rushing back, accom- panied by his secretaries, the President learned from Mada-me Poincare that the moment he left her she had been, attacked by a H strange b<aag." While an inquiry was being made, Dr. Henri de Rothschild, who lives a few doors away from the Elysees, arrived on the scene and explained that an ape which had been &ent to him, had escaped from its cage and had been seen climbing over several garden wiLlls in the direction of the Elyeeee- The ape was found in a tree, but it was not until a Hindu attendant had been summoned that the animal could be in- duced to come down.
