Mr. Lloyd George ha,3 added wsightily to the debt that the Allied cause, and humanity itself, owes to h:.m by t.he ruthless candour and courage of his speech at Paris. We re- joice in it, not only tot the most important reform which it announced in the Allied tr othod of conducting the war, but in the proof it affords that our leader is rich in the talents which his position, as the most prominent of all the Allied statesmen, and the Premier of the country on whom, for the moment, falls the brunt of the fray, demands imperatively. It was a. speech which de- monstrated again the vigour and keenness of insight, the fierce and unrelaxing energy vith which he pvepscs his point, and the clear sighted recognition of the truth, how- ever bf?erlv unu?tabLs, which will an make for victory. It was a new title to t?he eu-ioses which M. Painleve, a. type cf the scientific Frenchman: bestowed on our leader as the man who "5tcod for patriotism, gener- ositv and democracy, one of the most reso- lute organisers of an implacable war to a finish, who had by his inexhaustible energy, his eloquence, his imagination, unceasingly stimulated .tbe. magnificent effort of Great Britain and her Domin ions." The situation at the close of more than three years of war was frankly faced. Ail countries, with the signal exception of America, are much nearer, some border upon, the fatal stage of complete exhaus- tion. All are sorelv drained of their men and their treasure, 'some have fallen worn- out from the fray, ethers are barely able to battle 011. The Allies have, upon the whole, always possessed, at least potentially, and now possess unmistakably what Mr. L George termed all the essential ii^re ten s of victory the advantage in numbers,, in weight of men and material, in economic and financial resources, and beyond and! above all in the justice of their cause. Ana by the wav in war, as in a duel, there is in- finite truth in Mr. Anthony Hope's witty comment that one is advantaged by a clear, conscience in a trial of armed strength,, which is no use at all. in a court of law. ] Yet after three years in which men have died by the million, and gtfld has flowed by the thousand of million pounds, we are still J far from victory. "Who and what is responsible?" With inferior resources, palpably employed with superior skill, the enemy holds in territory and militarily a marked advantage. We are compelled to the confession that we dare not go to-day to a council table and disouss' peace with the situation as it stands. The reply given by the Premier was that "the unity of the Allies, in so far as strategy; went, a pure make-believe. There was; a collection of completely independent; schemes pieced together. The stitches came out and the disintegration was complete." And the strategy of the campaign focussed the whole Allied effort. No heroism, no nobility of moral purpose. no outlay of life: and toil, however prodigal, went for ought, or for what it should justly count, if the vital domain of strategy all went amiss. In the result we had a situation in ttaly which might develop into a coastrophe unless there was a qrick and final break with the past, and, said our leader, I have made up my mind that unless some change was eff ecteil Ican no longer remain responsible for a war direction doomed to disaster for lack of unity. The Allie'd War Council is the result. For the ^noment, but 111V temporarily, it is limidto the three Vve-tcrn Allies wno 1 have facing them the weighty problem 01 the rescue of Italy, in. which ( neither j America not*Russia, as. she gtautk, caiitake, part. Their inclusiwn will comte later.. -Next year the American representation in par- ticular will have weighty part to play. The seheme'is a delicate matter and likely to bt): intricate in its working. The bread desider- atum is the construing of the war as an affair of a single front; and the pooling of the., Allied resources. But the execution of the object- which it is so easy to state is a task to test the Allied military intellect. The Coun oil is to be advisory, but not executive. As 1 we interpret it, it' will rough out,the draft; of plans of which the details will be left to the present Allied General Staffs and leaders. Mr. Lloyd George left the impression also that the Allied failures had been due, L<}t oni, to the absence of any reaJ co-ordini- t,on but to an inferiority of general direc- tion, which did not perceive the necessity for co-ordination and which failed to makej a success in any theatre of the schemes tha,t were drawn up He hinted tolerably plainly that in the past he has been over-ruled, and that there, ha' r been bliiiide. in judgment ?hich have brought some of our troubles upon us. "He and some of his French COl-¡ le?sne? had insisted for years upon the prin- cip!e of the tmitv óf front, until he became almost weary of the attempt." A -statement had been submitted to the Rus- I sian conference in January about the perns and possibilities of the Italian front, t.han which nothing could more convincingly de- mon&tiu-te tlio opportunities which the -Allies, had lost thtough lack of e ruined thought and action. The inference is that offensive pUrts were suggested by development "u the Italian front which never got beyond the stage of paper schemes. Mr. Lloyd George pretty evidently favoured^ them, but. the Weqt,c)rlier. prevailed and Franco-British effort in 1917 was -concen- trated in Frar-ce until the-enemy snatched the initiative from us by his Isonzo victory. The solitary good fruit of that Russi-an conference was that it rendered the Allies able to assist Italy, in the event of her meet- ing with duster, in a much briefer period than would otherwise have been possible. Plans were drawn up for the transference, if the need arose, of large bodies of troops from France to Italy. They are now being executed. But the incalculable occurred, The Italiaii disasters on t.he Isonzo were greater and far speedier than had probably cver tseen anticipated. The Italians fell back, Rot by short stages, but with such a rush that satisfaction is expressed when the. rate 4> th-5 enemy'6 advance only equals in one day what it cOilts the Franco-British armies in Flanders mouthy of furious fighting to achieve. The incalculabl e happened; or it could'only have been-incalcula ble if the pos- sibility had never been taken into account of a collapse which could only be reasonably presumed on as a possibility to be reckoned .with if the moral of the troops of this army or that wa,; known to be bad. It is. only possible to establish a rough lS, only possible to estahli¡¡.h a rough contrast between the Allied and the German strategy at thi, stage of the war. We know, in the initial stage, tolerably well what the strategic outlines were on either -c;de. The German plan was to overwhelm trance by an irruption, througb Belgium and 'then turn on Russia. The Franco-Russian plan was for France to withsta-nd the German shock until the Russian masses could move, with' their anticipated irresistible weight. Both; plans were ruined. The Germans were foiled d. the Marne, after losing invaluable time in, Begiurn and being deprived of the great opportunity, which, nevertheless, was yet open to them, largely by the skill and constancy cf the French left wing, which was composed of the original British Expe- ditionarv Force. But the Franco-Russian v-inn failed signally also. The first Russian invasion of Pruss i a did serve as a timely di- j i!i,a.qii)n,of Pru??sta. did seri,e as a, timely di- but no more. Whilst the ?ulk cf the German army was pinned down in the West far longer than Mte Germans wished or the French needed for their Russian Allies to complete their mobilisation and overcome the difficulties their impcrfoct communications, the J*-»ssinns broke themselves against the Austro-Hungarian and Eastern German armies, and effected nothing decisive be- vond a few hard knocks upon Austria. Russia, in fact, in suite of all her endea- vours, suffered signal defeat, for the 'aim for which she riskd -xar-the protectivn of SerbIa-was lost when Serbia was queUed and conquered. After the spring of 1915 the strategic scheme of the war becomes complicated. In the West, the aim of the Allies in 1915, 1916, and 1917 may be said to have bean the expulsion of the German armies from the Allied soil they had seized (the theory of attrition was invented later to solsce us for the palpable failure to attain that purpose). The German strategy, with the one exception of Verdun, was to j sit tight. And the Germans succeeded, j whil&t on the defensive, and the Allies failed repeatedly, even 611 subsidiary aims, with the one exception of Verdun, where the effort of t;he Germans to deal France a crushing blow failed as signally as any fail- ure known to warfare. In the East, German strategy dominated in 1915, in the colossal offensive that nearly finished Russia and that did her military and strategic power infinite and enduring harm. In 1916 Russian strategy dominat- ed, as the result ,of Brussilofif s offensive undertaken in force' of the voluntary relin- quishment of the offensive by the Germans, who, having, as they believed, crippled Russia at the least in1915, sought to finish France in 1916. The- failure of Verdun threw the Germa.ns in 1916 upon the de- fensive in East and West until they baulked Brussiloff, just scraped through their peril- ous crisis on the Somme, and recovered brilliantly when their fortune seemed at the nadir, with the entrance of Rumania.. In 1917 we have seen the tra',g Of Rus- sia, the successful resistance of the Germans on the Hindenburg lines, and the revolu- tionising of the Italian campaign by the Isonzo debacle. We can trace in the enemy's campaigns much evidence of a clear conception which is lacking in the case of the Allies. After the trial of the two peace-conceived strate- gic plans of 1915 we have a, concentration of German strength against Russia, which put Russia out of harm's way, and then against Serbia, which wa« successful in the highest degree, and in many ways may be held to have consummated the entire German war objectives by clearing the way to the East, which the defence of Gallipoli had guarded, a little earlier. In 1916 German energies, having set matters to rights in the East, turned again to the West, and sought a knook-out blow, attempted and parried at Verdun, and countered with a thrust on the Somme which nearly pierced through. In 1917 we have the execution of the Italian coup, which was certainly a strategic coup of the highest order and represents the con- centration of what was left of German offen- sive energy into the channel where great '•esults might be expected from a successful blow. The Salonika episode, in its capacity asa sequel to the Serbian debacle as well as in its character as' the failure of the totally belated effort to rescue Serbia., sheds illu- mination upon Allied counsels, the conflict between the Eastern and the Western Schools, the act conceived too late to avail and inexplicably persisted in despite appar- ent total futility. Mr. Lloyd George laid stress upon the Serbian disaster as the most salient example of the disaster which at- tended the past Allied regime in strategy. He dwelt upon the war as a stage of the Central Powers, cut off by land and sea by invincible forces, north, east and west, but with a hopelessly weak besieging line upon the south which, once broken through, ¡ opened an avenue to fresh sources of strength in every respect-men. food. and minerals. The art of war has been defined by Wellington as the art of seeing what is happening on the other side of the hill- Serbia and Italy to-day provide flagrant in- stances of the absence of this quality on the Allies' part.

( virtue of the successful execution, of ;pne'ai own plans, the Allies have been pretty con- siatently failures. Russia in 1915, Serbia in 1915, Rumania in 1916, and Italy in 1917 are all cases in point where the enemy has carried through without interruption that mattered strategic schemes for which in one case complete and the others very great if not quite, decisive success is to be claimed. Upon the Allied side, the Gallipoli. Saloni- ka, Balkan, Rumanian and Italian cam- paigns justify to the hilt Hr. Lloyd George's affirmation that the hitherto pre- vailing methods will have to be torn Up by the roots and cast aside to achieve victory. It is a fatal delusion, to dwell upon mere preponderance in strength as if that would inevitably assure vict.orv. If not rightly employed. that very preponderance will but magnify the ultimate failure.

We have heard a little within the past I few days of the German opinions upon a j topic of the highest importance to them the advent of great American Armies in the. I Western zone of war. The German General Staff recently issued to the press an article in which the view was expressed that, for a. long time to come at any rate, the number of Americans, placed in the field in France would not do more than make good the heavy drains on Allied man-power involved in thei huge losses of Italian prisoners. On the question of the aerial armada of America, the German Press recalls that the American Congress voted 128 millions for a fleet oi 22,000 aeroplanes, and proceeded to argue j that a fleet of such dimensions would never âpoear at the front; the flight life of an aeroplane was a third to a quarter of the vear, and four times at least the above great total would be required to keep in commis- sion a fighting fleet of 22.000 machines. The size of the American fleet in actual service is put as being piore likely an eight or a fifth of the 22,000—say. 4.5U0. Such a fleet, it was argued, would never sweep the Ger- man machines out of the skies or lay in- dustrial Western Germany in ruins. As to the first point, the question of American man-power, it is hardly likely that American Armies on a scale of the first mag- j nitude—in excess of a million—would ap- pear on the Western front before siimyner; and the Germans reckon, no doubt, that the reduction to impotence of the Italian Army as an offensive force, in view of its depriva-' tion of such masses of its artillery, will re- lease enough men, Germans and Austro-, Hungarians, to reinforce their own Western armies to a degree affording compensation for the American reinforcements of the Allies. There is a good deai in this calcu- lation, for unquestionably one of the most v-erious results of the Italian successes is a great augmentation of the enemy's defen- sive power, coupled to a diminution in the Allied offensive powers to a serious degree: in the Italian zone. There is some basis for the German calculations, but it is a physical impossibility for the enemy ultimately to prevent the entrance in France of American Armies on the biggest scale, with oorres- pondinglv most serious peril to the Germa.n I lines, which are barely adequate to restrain-' nig the Franco-British armi es in bounds, and no more. In the matter of the aeroplanes it is In the matter of the .aeroplanes it is likely that American assistance will ma.te-I nahse more quickly by far in the air than upon land. The life of aeroplanes is being steadily lengthened, as better experience of the working of machines under service con- ditions is gained and the difficulty of Ger- many making good the effect of the Ameri- can effort in the air is much more dimcuit than even in the domain of man-power. The war munition capacity of the Father- j kind is strained to the utmost by the de- mand8 for aaille?y, Submarines and aero- j plane, and witM the vast American reo! sources thrown into the balance the diffi- culty of keeping pace with the increasing Allied exertions will become insuperable. The Germans certainly made a. very fine effort after 1916. and in 1917 have certainly j not been under the terrible disability in the air that they were during the battle of the Somme. They have indeed made a very I respectable showing. But they have been enabled to do so by cutting into their re- serve power of manufacturing, and the elasticity of their manufacturing capaoity is not indefinite.

A cockle-vendor's lament: "Why don't they cha,33 me?" One large drapery house at Swansea had a record month's trade last month. "Wc must practise eoonomy and sacrifice to win the war. — ( The ) to win the war."—(The Mayor of Swansea.) According to a Swansea minister, the i war is solving all our problems—the reli- gious controversy, capital and labour, hous- uvy. and, in fact, everything. The up- heaval is in the readjustment to the new conditions. < t -< < -< t j A Swansea gentleman occupying an im- portant post locally regarding recruiting re- gards the raising of tne age rate to 45 as \one if the certa.inties of the future. "And ?vith the war on in twelve months time," i he says, "it will be men up to 50." At a saie for the benefit of wounded soldiers and sailors at Parkmill recently a j quarter-pound of tea fetched 17s., and a tin of pears ran it closely.

At one shop she .called at the as- sistant's eyes went "moist" at the mention of sugar, and a "lump" came into her throat; but that was the nearest thing to .sugar they had in stock at the moment. One of the presentments at the Reynold- ston Court Leet was concerning the state of the road beyond Slade, Gower, which was used by people going to Oxwich Green Chapel and Oxwich Church. The "prc senter" stated that the minister of one of the places of worship appeared on one occasion with mud up to his knees and was an ob- ject of pity. "The correspondent who informs the 'Post Bag' that he could find no coal in the precincts of 'the docks' is evidently not well versed in docks phraseology" (writes "Docksman") "as was the railway official j who provided an effectual explanation to an; indignant shipper who declared that he had 2,000 tons of coal in his pocket, not one pound of which had yet arrived on the docks.

He became a-sao- ciated with the Goldberg Line, and re: moved to London, where lie could always be counted on to take an interest in any- thing to do with his native town.

"The Kiss" is iiotod among the genius's works, and has been rapturously described as a miracle of lyrical motion. Rodin had a hard fight to fame, and, Uke most of the princes of art, had to contend with biassed criticism and stupid jealousy. The "reality" of hTs work could not be disputed, however, and last year he pre- sented the whole of his works to France, together with a building named the "Musee Rodin."

These goods and services are now required and the more civilian call there is upon these goods and services the less there is available for the greater war needs and necessities." By cur- tailing the civilian demands Mr. Schooling pointed out prices would be kept at reason- able levels, and he further emphasised the need there was to borrow as little as possible from foreign nations as the credit so created turns the rates of exchange against us and consequently contributes largely to the les- sened purchasing value of money. <5~3xJxSxt>-<.> The death of Mr. Rees Bowen in France (writes "Cycliste") adds another name to the golden list of Rugby footballers who have sacrificed their all for Britain.

He was no (delicate tackier, and hie physique (of the typical Welsh hillman) was such as enabled him on more occasions than one to make his presence felt.

Small boys from^theSwansea Sandfields district are going the rounds giving more or less imperfect renditions of what axe ?,?v little fondlv believed to ht: carols. M v little dug-out," to wit, is NOT a carol, a.nd this is the month of November. I -'A- Mr. Mcrgcm E. David, the chairman of the tS wans da District Tribunal, is so much the personification of kindliness and good temper that an appellant the other day was heard to remark it was quite a pleasure to be sent into the ranks by him. Time was when' claimants before the Swansea Borough Tribunal were kept hang- ing a-bout for their cases to be called on. On Thursday it was the other way about and the tribunal actually retired for a short time to wait for claimants who had been sum- moned for a certain hoar. So favourable have been the comments upon the splendid marching of the special constables in the Mayoral procession of Sun- day last (writes One of Them ") that it is only fair on our part to express thanks to our inspector instructors and to the Police Band who played us along so cheerfully with their spirited marches." A Mount Pleasant man wanting to buy a ra-bbit was told by the salesman that the price was Is. lOd. Asked if he should skin it. the prospective customer said he would do that himself qthome, Then said the shopman, the price will be If. lid." There is evidently a d;ff;qG.,htwe rabbit, skinned or otherwise. Writing to Mr. Llew. Hayward, our j sports editor, Mr. W. F.. Pegg. the trea- surer of the South Wales branch of the National Union of Journalists, ol,-erves: "I thank you for the good news nbout Mr. | David Davies' donation to the N.U.J. Dis- tress Fund. I am sure that all the mem- bers of the branch will be gratefully appre- ciative of Mr. Da vies' kindness aiid the very important help which he is rendering in our effort on behalf of our soldier mem- bers and their dependents." A common complaint amongst colliers is that the general public, has but a. very hazy idea cQncermng life at a coHiery. Apropos of this the following story is told at Bryn-¡ amman ;—Some time ago two young ladies from North Wales vtsited the localitv, and in order to !see the "sights" of the district climbed to the pithead of a certain colliery when coal winding was in cperation. When marvelling at the volume of "black dia- monds" which seemed to be pouring in an unceasing stream from the depths of the earth, a cageful of colters were wound up, j blackened by their day's toil. "Look! ) look!" exclaimed the young ladies, "What are those?" "Why, they are the colliers," was the reply. "Well, oh dear 1" said one of the visitors, "Mae nhw yn debyg i ddy- nion ("Why, they are exactly like men I") The British Tommy, we have been told, is a complex personality. It is. We know of a Swansea company-sergeant-major who came home on leave the other day quite fed-up with France and the trenches. He confided his disgust tc a person with pacifist leanings. The latter gleefully concurred, and in an excess of sympathy ventured to rug- gest a military revolt. Ten seconds later he was nursing a sore jaw and listening to an eloquent reital by the major regarding low-down dirty skunks, etc., etc. Readers view this story with amazement, but we can assure them that it ia quite a true one. If, however, they are sceptical on the point let them approoch a man who has had a pro- longed dose of war and ask him to give the Hun best—the resultant tirade of tren- chesa" would be horrifying to hear.— rCycliste.") The advantages of the War Savings Cer- tificates through works and association channels need only to be emphasised to be appreciated. Take a works employe. By contributions of a shilling or two a week the certificates are able to be bought from the first week, and these begin to bear in- terest from the date of purchase. Hence it follows that a man who has contributed less than the necessary 15s. 6d. finds by the co- operative effort he is enjoying the advan- tage of having a paid-up certificate. The interest on these certificates works out for the five years at over 5, per cent., and there is the further advantage that they can be redeemed at any time over the post office counter with the interest that has accrued up to date. These certificates are not subject to income-tax in any shape or form. Pickings from Punoh." I Two survivors of the battle of Inkerman have been disco verd at Brighton. Their inactivity in the present crisis is most un- favourably commented on by many of the week-end visitors. Captain Otto Sverdrup, the Arctic ex- plorer, has returned his German decora- tions. Upon hearing this the Kaiser at once gave orders for the North Pole to be folded up and put away. We understand that a member of Parlia- ment will shortly ask for a day to be set aside to inquire into the conduct. of Mr. Philip Snowden, who is reported to have recently shown marked pro-British ten- dencies. "If a million quarter acres in the counti-y were left uncultivated, the result would be that a quarter of a million acres would be left uncultivated. "—(Scotch Paper.) Ex- amined and found correct.
