PUBLIC'S OPPORTUNITY. t i a ENJOYABLE WAY TO HELP DESERVING WAri FUtiDS. I If anyone wants a. few hours* hearty en- joyment, with the knowledge that at the same time they are helping deserving war funds, they cannrvt do better than pay a visi,t to the Swan sea Empire next Satur- day afternoon to see the amateur artistes' competition, the proceeds of which will be used to help on the good work of the 6th Welsh Comforts Fund and Mr. Frank Allen's Xmas Puddings for Tommy" Scheme. This novel event is quite the talk of the town, and there is every prospect that the enterprise of Mr. G. H. Tlichardson, the genial manager of the Empire, will be rewarded by a generous measure of public support. There is a large entry of artistes—some 70 in aill-aiid the first pre- liminary test takes place to-day. Almost every conceivable type of vaudeville turn" is represented ic the entry, and it will not be an easvtask to select the 20 art.istes for Saturday's matinee, which commences at 2.30. Practically all the performers wikl be making their first ap- pearance in public. At -anj rate, they have never appeared before for fee or reward, and well-known concert singers are barred. Intending patrons will do well to secure seats without delay.

WELSH COALOWNERS. Proposal Against Govern- I ment Action. Ac-cording to an official report supplied us by Mr. Finlay A. Gibson, secretary of the South Wales Coalowners* Association, a special meeting of the Association was held at Cardiff on Tuesday, to receive a report from the owners' representatives on the Conciliation Board in reference to their interviews with the Government in regard to the application of the work- men's representatives for an advance of 15 per cent, in the general wage rate. Mr. W. H. Mewton presided over a large at- tendance, and Mr. Fred L. Davis sub- mitted the report on behalf of the owners' representatives. The following resolu- tion was unanimously pd:- That this Association, while submit- ting loyally to the decision of His Majesty's Government in the pent crisis, desires to enter its emphatic pro- test against the action of the Govern- ment in again being parties to the breach by the workmen of the Concilia- tion Board agreement, the terms of which were settled by the Government itself last year. A copy of U the resolution has been for- warded to the Prime Minister and to the President of the Board of Trade.

I A boy named Thomas John Brazell, I Aged 12, of Troetre-road, Ll-anelly, hasi been admitted to the Hospital suffering from severe injuries to both legs and an arm.

GOWER COUNCIL. I The Penclawdd Waterworks. I The meetings of the Gower Council and Guardians was held at Penmaen Work- houso on Tuesday. Mr. J. A. Jenkins pre- sided over the Council meeting. It was reported that Penclawdd Water- works would be completed within the next three weeks. The Water Committee re- ported that they had reconsidered the question of the appointment of waterman and had confirmed their previous rosolu- tion recommending the appointment of Mr. A. Tree. Their motion was endorsed. KILLAY WATER SUPPLY. The Bisliopston Parish Council reported that in their view it was not suitable time to proceed with the work of supply- ing Killay with water. A letter was read from the Swansea Rural District Council, from which it appeared Cray water could be obtained for Killay on terms which had been previously stated. It was re- solved to inform the County Council of the matter. An increase in salary of S5 per annum was granted the health visitor. The Medical Officer reported that there had not been any infectious diseases in the district for the past three and a half months. I GUARDIANS MEETING. Mr. John Harries presided over the Guardians meting, when it was decided to grant the Workhouse inmates the usual Christmas dinner, and also the customary extra relief to out-door paupers. In view of the increased cost of living, it was deeded to apply to the Local Government Board to increase out-door relief by 25 per cent.

SERBIA'S VICTORY. The Press Association Correspondent at Serbian Headquarters, referring to Sun- day's viotory, says the attack culminated in the capture of a whole series of strongly fortified positions in the region north of Grunishte and Badimyrci. The defeated Bulgarians fled, towards the north, leaving a considerable number of dead on the battlefields. The Serbs cap- tured five field guns, five caissons, several machine-guns, much ammunition, and other war material, besides numerous pri- soners. The total number of guns taken by the Serbs up to the present amounts to 79. The capture of the summit of Grun- ishte is considered of great strategic im- portance, and threatens the position at Sokol further east. If the latter is taken Dobropolje then falls, and thus the entire Mogien region will be freed of the enemy, who is already retreating.

YOUNG RUSSIAN'S NARROW ESCAPE Paul 1ela (17), a Russian seaman, was charged with landing in the prohibited a rea without the permission of the Aliens' Officer. litective-Inspector John-son said he arrested the prisoner and took hibi to the boat, which was then leaving.

Bert Williams, a collier, was summoned for assaulting Mr. Gethin, the under- managex of the Mountain Colliery. Mr. Henry Thompson prosecuted, and Mr.; Randall, Llanelly, deiended. The evidence went to show that in ful- filment of his duties Mr. Gethin was measuring the work done by the defen- dant in the colliery. Records were made of the measurements, and the defendant was told what they were. Defendant dis- puted the measurements, and the under- managed lent the defendant the tape., and later defendant told the under-manager (Mr. Gethin) tiiafr he had found, a discre- pancy. Mr. Gethin refused to re-mea.sure the ground. Defendant then took up a fighting atti- tude and struck Mr. Gethin a violent blow, which felled him. A fireman near by heard the defendant say: If we were on the surface you would not be left oil so easily." In the evidence given by the defendant and his brother it was admitted that a dispute ae alleged occurred about the measurements. The ground was rising and the defenoe suggested that Mr. Gethin hit .his head against a collar," and fell. The witnesses denied the striking of the blow. It was also stated the ground was re-measured by an overjnan, and the error Sound. The defendants had since been ^iid for the difference. The Bench -was of opinion that the case was made out. The defendant was given a good character, but in view of the serious nature of the charge he was flood .£5. YSTRADGYNLAIS. Tuesday.—Before Messrs. E. G. Benthall, I Baron Cederstrom, David Williams, and David Lewis. j LIGHTING CASES. Several people were ordered to pay costs for failing to oomply with the lighting re- strictions. A STORY OF ALLEGED ASSAULT. William Clee Morgan, Ystalyfera, was summoned for being drunk and disorderly on November 22nd, and also for assault- ing P.C. Thomas at Cwmtwrch. Mr D. J. Clarke, of Swansea, defended. There was a cross-summons by Morgan against P.C. Thomas for assault. P.C. Thomas ^id on the night in question he saw the defendant and an- other man coming down the road towards Gurnos. The. two men were under the influence of drink. When the men oame opposite witness they turned and kicked his dog. Witness asked Morgan why he kicked the dog. Morgan swore and struck witness on the body, then ducked his head and threw witness to the ground. Defen- dant tried to run away, and whilst doing so fell on his face. Cross-examined by Mr. Clarke, witness said he had not received any complaints respecting the dog. He denied striking the defendant. He admitted that he had told the Inspector he intended overlooking the offence were it not for the fact that defendant had reported 'him. For the defence Mr. Clarke said it was clear to him that P.C. Thomas was the aggressor, and that the offioer's dog charged the two men. That was the cause of all the trouble. Defendant denied being drunk on the night in question, and also denied doing anything to the dog or the constable. After retirement the Bench decided to fine Morgan Cl, for being drunk and dis- orderly. The summons for assault was dismissed. LLANELLY. Tuesday.—Before Mr. Thomas James and Mr. Arthur Morgan. MILITARY ABSENTEE'S HEALTH. Hy. John Owen, a Llangennech soldier, belonging to a Welsh Regiment, was charged with being an absentee without leave. Inspector Morgan said that defendant came home on leave from the front, and should have returned on Saturday. Owen: Can I be examined by a doctor, because I am afraid I am not fit to travel? The Presiding Magistrate, in remanding defendant to await an escort, said he could be examined by a military doctor. A CANDID CONFESSION. "You made a honest confession, 6aid the Presiding Magistrate in addressing a young soldier named Arthur O'Malley, who was v charged with being an absentee from a Lincolnshire Regiment- According to the evidence, O'Malley ap- proached a police officer in the centre of the town and asked to be directed to a refreshment house. The officer asked him to produce his pass, whereupon the latter said, I have not got a pass in my pos- session. You can take me if you like, as I am an absentee." Mr. A. Morgan: Have you been to the front?—I fought in the Dardanelles cam- paign, sir. Mr. Morgan: Have you got any friends here?—No, sir; I got drunk, and I don't know how I got here. In remanding defendant to await an escort, the Presiding Magistrate obiserved I hope they will deal leniently with you because you are an honest fellow, and a man like you is too good for the drink." JUVENILE COURT. A 15-year-old boy living in Globe Cot- tages, war ordered to pay 5s. 60.. oosts for carrying a Daisy air-guii without a license. Two boys, aged 11 and 10 respectively, living in Lolan Fawr, were summoned for stealing 13 pigeons, value £ .& 'is., the pro- perty oi Fred Juhran.

A GOWERTON LICENSEE Prosecuted for Alleged Per- mitting Drunkenness. Before the County magistrates at Swan- sea on Wednesday, Edwin H. Sheppard, licensee of the Commercial Hotel, Gover- ton, was 6UJjimoned for permitting drunkenness.. Mr. Marlay Samson de- fended (instructed by Mr. C. H. New- combe). P.S. Apeee said he visited the house on the 7th October, at 11 p.m. in oonse- qenoe of complaints. In the kitchen a man named Bassett was sitting on the couch in a drunken condition. Mrs. Thomas, the manageress of the hotel, was trying to rouse Eim. Witness asked her why she kept the man on the premises knowing that he was drnk. Mm. Thomas said the young man came in about 9 o'clock and had gone to sleep, and she had failed to wake him. She al-so said she was busy in the bar when Bassett came in. Baseett's father came in just as young Bassett was awaken-cd, and Mrs. Thoma^ asked Bassett where he had been drinking saying, "You have not had any drink here." Mr. Bassett then said to Thomas: You shall hear more of this; you are harbouring the boy here. I have had trouble with you before." Mr. Marlay Samson, for the defence, said the young man Bassett was a friend of the family. Being a driver of a motor car plying. for hire, he was sometimes treated and sometimes he became very much intoxicated. On this occasion Bas- sett drove his car up himself, being in a drunken condition. He entered the house through the private door, and sat in the kitchen, vrtiere he went to sleep. The manageress did all she could to improve his condition. The only drink he had was a eoda water. Edwin H. Sheppard, the licensee, said he had found Mrs. Thomas a most trust- worthy servant. Since Nov. 14th he had given up the hotel at Gowerton, though he remained the licensee of another licensed premises. Mrs. Thomas gave evidence supporting the statement of Mr. Samson. The /Bench retired to consider their decision, and in the result dismissed the case, the Chairman disagreeing. I

DEATH OF MR. W. HOW-ELL, I J. P. The death of Mr. William Howell, J.P., of Lietai, Pencoed, an ex-alderman of the county of Glamorgan, occurred with tragic suddenness on Tuesday. Mr. Howell had attained the ace of 83. The late Mr. Howell belonged to an old and highly respectable family of Vale of Glamorgan agriculturists, and as a mem- ber of the Glamorsnn County Council from the formation of that body until his re- Hrement, about six years ago, was one of the best known public men in the county. He was a brother of the late Dean Howell, of St. David's.

I WELSH UNIVERSITY i DR. G-ARBOUR STEPHENS 01 THE j. CURSE tiF THE PRINCIPALITY.. In a letter to the Western Mail," Drv G. Arbour Stephens, of Swansea, oays.- We have a Welsh University which is in the boiling pot: is it possible that after the boiling we may find it changed into a University for the people of Wales? Capel spite' has been the curse of Wales; but it is to be hoped that one re- sult of the war will be to develop some measure of discipline amongst Welshmen; and a greater respect, for dignity and worth. The competition for a place in the 'set iawr has been so great that, in order to satisfy the ambition of the crowd, an additional number of 'set fawrs* has had to be created, with the result that whilst these places of honour are filled, the pews are very empty. In other words, everybody wants to be a leader, but no one wants to work: it is the tendency of the age, which, alas, has infected the church, and, of course, the college. Next to a Yankee, no one loves to be professorcd or be-doctored more than a Welshman, but whilst we are able to see the miserable effect of euctli a tendency in America, we seem unable to appreciate the demoralising tendency in our own Principality. Pettiness is the ourse of Wales, and the besetting sin of those who ought to know better. ù The lines on which this should be per- formed were discussed at the_meeting of graduates held at the Royal Institution oa December 1 in connection with the proposed University College for Swansea. The suggestion was put forward that all- professors and lecturers of the Welsh leges should become professors and lec- turers of the University of Wales, and told off for work as the occasion arises, or, in military parlance, seconded for ser- vice. "By this means all petty town jealousies ought to disappear, and the local preju- dices absorbed in a desire on the part of the wiolo Senate to work for the peopla or the Principafliiy. By this myms tho people in a greater number of towns will have the opportunity of learning directly from the mouth of an authority. By this means a considerable re-duplication of staff can be avoided, or, at any rate, much unused energy can be diverted into chan- nels whereby much valuable work may be the result. By this means clao the. members of the staff can be brought into contact with the people in various parts, and, as a result, gain much knowledge themselves as regards local chaxacteristies.0 prejudices, and requirements." vj GLAMORGAN ATTITUDE DEFINED. The Glamorgan Education Convaiittee*' have for some time past been oonsidering: what evidence should be placed before the Royal Commission on University Educa-! tion in Wales. At Tuesday's meeting,, Dr. T. H. Morris presiding, the l'ollowillg resolutions were submitted by a sub-oom- inittee and adopted This committee is of opinion that th& echeme suggested in paragraph 4 of thom Supplementary Memorandum of the Ad" visory Committee is unfair to Wales and.; disadvantageous to this county. This committee is prepared to recommeod, that Glamorgan be included in anri equitable scheme for the support of Welsh University and Colleges by an. equal charge levied over all Wales, though of opinion that the rates are an. unsuitable source to draw from. But if it is left to each local authority to con-n tribute or not at its discretion, this com- mittee is of opinion that it is inexpe- dient that this county should commit itself to contribute any considerable sum, from the rates for an indefinite future without retaining in the hands of the representatives of the ratepayers any; control) over the destination of their money. Alderman D. H. Williams, in moving' the adoption of the resolutions, said the, committee were obliged to their clerk (Mr^ T. H. Franklen) for the help he had- given in the matter. Alderman Hopkiik Morgan seconded, and the resolutions wera adopted. CARMARTHENSHIRE CONGREGA. TIONALISTS. The West Carmarthenshire Congrregsr tionalists Association met at Priordy- Chapel, Carmarthen, on Tuesday, the- Rev. D. Curwen Davies, Cothi Bridge, presiding, when the question of astab- lishing theological chairs at the Welsh. University Colleges wa., considered. The. meeting approved of the resolution re- cently passed by a special committee ap- pointed to consider the question by thei Congregational Union of Wales, express- ing the opinion that the denomination was not yet in a position to form a defin- ite opinion on the subject of theological teaching at such colleges, but that the time had arrived when the sections in the university charters prohibiting the beach- ing of theology should be eliminated. The way would then be clear for the in* stitution of such teaching whenever Wales felt that th? time wae ripe fO, ..Ih a step to be taken. rofeesor J. Oliver Stephens, B.A.? B.D., Presbyterian College, Carmarthen, pointed out that the theological colleges were already affiliated with the univer sity. The new proposals required careful consideration, for they involved rather controversial matters. The Rev. E. Keri Evans, M.A., said personally he was in favour of the scheme for the establishment of theological chairs which he thought would be a great help in every way. The Rev. D. G. Williams, St. Clears, had no objection to the elimination of the prohibition from the charters, as it might be useful at some future time. His ideal was a united religious Wales, a nation loyal to Christ, and when that was at- tained it would be ridiculous to suggest that they could not teach theology in the university colleges of a "Christian nation* Mr. D. Williams, Henllan, also spoke, and a small committee was appointed to* icport further on the question. The Rev. Robert Griffith, Welsh secre- tary of the London Missionary Society, said that the centenary of the society's work in Madagascar, which was com- menced by Welsh missionaries, was about to he celebrated, and he was endeavouring to secure a deputation from the Princi- pality to go out there to participate in the celebrations. The name of Wales waq cherished in that far-off land.

While surveying the ground at a fire at the screw works of Messrs. Baxter, th4 Parade, Birmingham, -on Tuesday, Station Officer William Thomas was killed by tin .falling of a tank.

SWANSEA COTTAGE HOMES. Mr. G. S. Mitchell presided at a mMfe. ing of the Swansea Guardians CottagB Homes Visiting Committee on Tuesday.
