RURAL DISTRICT COUNCIL. I A meeting of the Rural District Council was held afterwards. Mr. Thomas Evans, J.P. (Abernant), the chairman, presided.— The Clerk said that before they proneeled any further with the bu&iness, he wished to report that Major Gwynne, Cilgwyn, as they were aware. had gone to the front, and it was his duty to officially report it, and to point out that if he wae r.bsent for more than six monthe without the Board's permission, hia seat was automatically vacated. He was. no doubt, aware of the fact, and he (the clerk) felt Fitre the Council would not like to lose him. He felt sure they would like to retain his services—Mr. Davies (Rhyblid) was sure they were all very thankful to Mr. Jonr for calling attention to the fact. It vas the unanimous wish of the Council that they should retain hi? servicer;, and it wan also the unanimous wish of the Board of Guardians. He moved that leave of z-h- cence be granted Major Gwynne. and that the clerk ehould write to him intimating that, the Council wished to congratulate him, and to express admiration at the ttrp he had taken.—Mr. 1)1. Lewis seconded.— Carried nem con .Correspordenco vas read with reference to the footpath on the new bridge at Ehandirmwyru and the ork was instructed to write to Mr. Ellis asking him to have it attended to at once.—It w«3 decided that the clerk should write to the secretaries in respect to the local contribu- tions towards Bhandermwyn bridge Llwyneulog bridge requesting that th?y should be paid in by the 30th of January next-—Considerable dscuasion eneued with teference to an application for a water For- vice from the Llauelly Rural District Coun- cil water main to the Vicarage and Fed Lion at Llanddeusant. A similar applica- tion had previously been dealt with in e- rspect to Twynllaran. In the end, the mat- tec was deferred for a month.—Mr. Seyler, the county analyst, applied for a fee of two guineas for inal-ilzig an analysis of l'fy- r.no water, Llangadoek, in February, 1913, at the request of the M.O.H. Mr. Tudor Lewis said it was done at the request of this Council, and the amount was passed for payment.—Other minor matters' also engaged the attention of the. Council.

IN ACTION. SIXTH WELSH LINE THE TRENCHES The 6th Welsh, according to a corre- spondent of the Daily Chronicle," have natl their first tasto of work in the. trenches, and have come out of the ordeal with the highest honours. The action in which they were engaged took place in a forest between Yprcs and La Bassee, and was a very severe affair, the (;eriiian, making a vigorous, but vain, attempt to oreak through. These attacks ended abruptly, for they were flung back with tremendous losses (says the correspondent). A regiment of Uhlans met with a fearful disaster during the battle. Their horses were shot, and they were forced to fight on foot or Ree with the infantry. Some fought and others fled, and those who fought must have found how disad- vantageous the sword is against the bayonet in this battle, I am told, several bat- talions of Territorials took part, and my informant states that the 6th, Battalion of the Welsh lined one of our trenches, and held their position as unflinchingly and as steadily as any line regiment. Indeed, our Regular troops do not con- ceal their 'admiration for tb.- Territorials generally. They all agree that they are as good as fhe Regulars fit is advisable to point out that our information leads us to the belief that the 6th Welsh—or the majority of the battalion at least—are still on lines of communication. The lotter published on the front page also indicates this. Still, it is possible that a company or two have been sent into the trenches as de- ecribed.j

WELSH TERRITORIALS. Regular Soldiers Delighted With Their Fiqhtinq Qualities. A high estimate of the qualifications of the Territorials has been formed by The Times" correspondent, who says:— During the last f&w weeks I have had many opportunities of talking with officers and men In the Regular Army who have fought side by side with members of the Territorial Force, and I have seen Terri- torials themselves when they have come out of action. And everything I have seen find heard has led to but one conclusion: that the well-trained British Territorial is as fine a fighter as one. could wish to meet. This war, if it has shown ?>nvthing at all. has shown that the British soldier, true to his reputation of being one of the best fighters in the world, has established a great personal ascendancy over his op ponents. In that ascendancy the British Terri toria l shares. It would be undesirable to ive any in- dication of the number of Territorials in the field, but it is certainly much larger than any people in England might su? p&se. It would be a mistake, let me add. to assume that the work with which they have been entrusted has given them little scope, for action. Numbers of them are at this moment holding trenches against superior odds in the neighbourhood of Tpres. That the work could not be better (lonù is proved by the tributes which are paid them by men who made the art of war their business in life. These tributes are as sinrere as they are flattering. For example, two soldiers from one of our best regiments whom I met to-dav, who for some weeks have been fighting choulder to shoulder with Territorials who happen to come from Wales, stated without reserve of any sort that thei- comrades at arms were as good fighters as any. They shot well, thev lasted well, and when their turn came they did well. But the point which these two men like all others I have talked to, took special care to emphasise was the mapnifment spirit with which the Territorials fight, their high daring and their Ene enthu- thu- The presence of the Territorial, both of them agreed, is the finest tonic in tho world for trench weariness. I have fyeard from many sources thtt when going under fire for the first time Territorials have, without exception, acted with a restraint and self-possession which have Surprised the seasoned; veteran, and have gained and held hi" warm respect. Witli the bayonet ex- perience has ehown that the Territorial has little to learn from anybody, anI certainly nothing from the German ec-ldier- Altogether, therefore, it may be said that the Territorial has justified himself and more than justified himself in tin war- 60 far as it has gone. His quality, besides winning the generous praise of men who have done the great bulk of the fighting for us, has aroused in them expectations of great things from the Territorial regiments who may still 'no sent across the narrow seas, or who may ,L,-rve their country in other parts. But. thove all things, it has inspired our men who are fighting here with hope and boundless confidence in the potential tghting qualities of men who have joined Lord Kitchener's new army. ————— —————

EAGER WELSHMEN. Doing Important Work, but Anxious for the Fighting Lino. I- Letters from the men of the 6th Batta- lion of the Welsh Regiment seem to indi- cate an early possibility of -getting into the firing line, which all the men -are eager for. Private Washer, .in a letter to Swansea, says: When the time comes for us to visit the trenches—some of our officers here have told us it certainly will not be long—we shall all go as willingly and as cheerfully as any regular regi- ment. Since the London Scottish there have been a few other Territorial regi- ments in the trenches, arid they have, and are still, doing excellent work. Our present work is as important as any. The duties range from burying the dead, bringing wounded soldiers to the base, escorti ng prisoners and supply trains, sentry duties, loading up supplies, etc. Our soldiers are characteristic of the true Welshmen—singing when there's nothing more important to do. Private T. 'R DJ Thomas writes: "The spirit of the boys arc all right. It was bad enough to read about the Germans at home, but it is ten times worse to see what they have done out here."

UNDER SHRAPNEL FIRE. One of the Artists Rifles (attached to tli* 6th Welsh Regiment), writing home to his people at Brighton, says:— The other day we were all asked to volunteer to become machine-gun instruc- tors. All the men in our section put their names down, and I did not expect to hear any more about it. However, the next morning, while we were having break- fast. the orderly sergeant walked in and told me to get my things together and be ready to move off at ten o'clock. So here we are—sixteen of us—at General Headquarters, in an artillery barracks, where we are making ourselves comfortable. We start our course to- morrow. and if we get through all right shall probably get the rank of sergeant- instructor. Last week we had pvactically our first taste of fire. We wert. digging trenches in front of two of our own batteries, and were gliellod,t,r about a couple of hours. A sergeant and one uia ti--cf another com- pany—-were killed. A splinter from the first shell knocked my hat, which was lying on my tunic at the back of the trench, three or four yards.

I SCHOOL OF MINING. ICOUNTY COUNCIL'S OFFER OF £ 1,000 A deputation representing the Swansea Corporation a few days ago met representatives of the Glamorgan County Council to discuss ?an important project put forward by the county authority for establishing a mining school in Swansea, properiy equipped, and to be under abso- lutely independent and local control. The details of the scheme need not be entered into now, for we understand that those who represented Swansea at the confer- ence flu ily 'entered into the spirit of the proposal, and are confident that when the Council and the town understand the object, scope, and character of the move- ment and the benefits that must accrue from the acceptance of the offer made, there will be set up amongst us an institution which will be unique in every sense of the term. The Glamorgan County Council offer, we are given to uniergtand, Y,1,000 a year towards the cost of apparatus, a further sum of iCIOO a year towards obtaining additions to such apparatus, to pay the salary of one teacher, and to have the whole concern under the joint control of Swansea and the County Council, pro- vided Swansea Corporation take up the scheme now, find the necessary buildings, and pay the other teachers. A differ- ence between this proposal and the arrangement made in Cardiff for the school controlled by the coalowners-a most imjwrtant consideration, is that the school at Swansea would provide a con- venient centre for a very large section of the South Wales coalfield. It may be added that; in order to make the Swansea school a great centre for the Western District, the Carmarthenshire County Council will be invited to join hands with Swansea and Glamorganshire. Carmarthenshire has already done some- thing in the matter, but the scheme has not yet developed as it might do, and this movement presents to that county also a golden opportunity for co-operation and joint local control. But, in any event, we think Swansea will seize the oppor- tunity offered.

I POPULAR CONTROL, I I Importance to Swansea of Proposed School cf Mines. (By Our Mining Correspondent.) It is evident that the proposal made to Swansea to establish a School of Mines has been very well received among those who realise the importance of the project, and, as the more it is discussed the clearer bccomes the advantage to be derived by the town. May I add to the outline already given of the scheme that not only will such a school serve tfte smaller collieries- of the western district; TO which reference was made by Sir Griffith Thomas, but it will be a centre to which pupils from all parts of South Wales may come if .they choose. And they will come if the arrangements made are sueli as to meet the require- ments of young men of the working classes as well as of those who can afford to pay handsomely for their mining education. The main point in regard to these ar-j rangements is the proposal to have the Swansea school absolutely under popular control. It will not be controlled by the coalowners, who arc really the masters of the situation in connection with the Tre- forest School, and lightly so, because they initiated the movement and provided the iinances for an effective start, in order to obtain for themselves a sufficient num- ber of duly qualified officials. In the Swansea project, however, the County Council and the Borough Council will be the joint controllers, and if Car- marthenshire comes in that county will have a voice also; but it will not be a colliery proprietors' school. In Carmarthenshire only last week they were lamenting tbe difficulty of imparting mining instruction in connection with their own scheme of lectures and lectur- ers because the students had no opportu- nity of acquiring practical experience, and they had not the necessary appara- tus- Here, at the very inception of the Swansea scheme. the Glamor- gan County Council offer a sum of 91,000 towards the provision of the apparatus to begin with, and Xloo a year towards additions required to the apparatus every year. The difficulty mentioned is ilierefoi- overcome not only for Carmarthenshire, but also for other places and for other students. r This in itself shows the democratic character of t4, movement for the estab- lishment of. a Threat cep £ r?L .school of li,Rhme4t, of ii I*re ? t of There is no aped to enter into details :? to the further offer of the salary of a teacher by the County Council, as that was made quite clear in the Cambria Daily Leader" on Friday. The provision of a building and the working expenses will naturally fall upon Swansea, and the cost is not one penny too much to enable Swansea to maintain its position as the Western centre of the mining world qf South Wales and to pro- vide also tot filling gaps left in the ar- rangements already made by only one other district in'the inost important min- ing community in Great Britain. ———

MORE ABOUT CARMARTHEN. Some Ancient Monuments and Customs. "More about Carmarthen" was the title of an interesting lecture by Mr. Goo.

Dealing with Various rr ftQ made to r',e. Priory, he statsd that one person granted his "hereditary and real estate and everything for only the king's rent and half-a-pound of cinamon." Another gave all his land for "half-a-pound of pepper and a pound of cinamon." Those quan- tities of cinamon in. Carmarthen in that year (1280) were worth 4d. and 2d. res- pectively. (Laughter). The Vicar of St. Peter's quarrelled with the Prior in 1278 over a demand by the latter for an in- crease of his stipend. The Bishop was called in to decide the matter, and the result was the Prior failed to get his in- crease. (Laughter). In 1455. there came a command from Prince Edward to the Justices of Carmarthen to remove the Priory's, illegal weir on the Towy. The Justices. alleged .there was a little poaching • going on-(laughter)-hut this was denied, and in the following year the Priory made"~a ^tTWe^sftil defence relative to the weir. At the dissolution of the monasteries by Henry VIII., the priories had to make efeftain statements as to why they should not be dissolved. The one relating to Carmarthen Priory was still extant, and fitated that Carmarthen waS "a notable market tu.wJ. that a great number of people had their met and, drink in the house; that it was open for such as came cn the king's business;" and also that "strangers and merchants re- sorting to these parts are honestly re- «,iffr tf^ii«^b|-tbey are gladder to, bvfig* tffeir gootô Carmar- then.

DAYS OF HORROR. ———- BELGIAN OFFICER'S STORY. I found him sitting at the window, his chin on his hand, and elbow on his knee. There was a lar-away look in his eyes. lie was a Belgian ohicer, and had served his country since that memorable night when hist came the call to duty. But now he was wounded, and he sat at the window of the Carmarthen Red Cress Hospital, where he had been sent to re- cover trom the effects of injuries received in the fierce light at Antwerp. There were other Belgian soldiers in the hospital, but lie, the only officer among them, attracted attention at once. Prior to the war he held a lucrative Government appointment, and lived at Courtrai with his wife and children. At first his tone was reserved, and he had not much to say. But gradually, as the memories of the last four months came back to him, there was awakened in his heart the fiery spirit of the patriot, and his eyes flashed as he spoke of the murderous work of the devastating Huns. He recounted the sudden mobilisation of the Belgian Army, the siege of Liege, the flight to Namur, and subsequently the fall of the forts there; then to Malines, Diest, Louvain, and on to Antwerp. He told of the massacre at Louvain, of the brutal treatment of women, the drunken orgies of the Kaiser's troops, the looting and burning of Belgium's best. Then he spoke of his King, beloved of all the Belgians, the monarch who has fought at the head of his men, who has slept in the trenches, risking his life on innumerable occasions in heroic deeds. He referred to his evidence of the horrors of Louvain given before the Belgian Com- mission which sat three months ago. They could not believe it," he said. It seemed to horrible to be true. Yet it was true. You in England have read part of the evidence, but not all. There is mora. The call to duty," he went on, came at dead of night. I was sleeping peace- fully when I was awakened by a per- emptory rat-tat at my door. On going downstairs, I found a number of men in military uniform, excited and gesticulat- ing wildly In an instant the truth dawned upon me. Germany, as we had feared, had violated our neutrality. I hastily jfut on my uniform the while I endeavoured to calm my wife by saying I was only going oil to the frontier to guard. Every moment was precious; the trains were waiting to take us to Liege, where our sacrifice was to begin. Soldiers were rushing hither and thither in the streets, and the whole town was alive with excitement. Eventually we were all. entrained, and, within a few hours of the mounding of the call we were at Lie;re I fighting the invaders I 'i'hen he told of the desperate fight of the little band within the forts against the hordes of Germans. King Albert, the most knightly figure of this titanic struggle, had already arrived, and was everywhere urging on his men. And the gallant little band fought like heroes The Germans came on only to be driven back. Again and again they attacked, and the few thousand defenders would reply by charging an army whilst all the world wondered." The invaders' dead and dying were piled up in mounds, but still they persisted in rushing up in close formation. Then they would fall hack before the deadly fire from the forts, leaving thousands of dead and wounded behind. At last, after two days, the enemy made a request to General Leman for an arrtiistice to collect the dead and wound d, who numbered 25,000. General Leman never hesitated. Not a minute will be allowed," he said, "the fight goes on." The officer told of the following nights and days, and of the hastening of the King to Brussels, which was in danger. The monarch's journey was covered by the narrator and other soldiers from the heights of the Ardennes and subsequently the covering party went on to Namur. llere the heavy seige guns of the Ger- mans worked havoc, and nearly all the forts fell at once, crumbling before the incessant shelling to which they were subjected. There was another reason for the failure of the defenders here, and that was the treachery of a number of Germans who had joined the Belgian Army. These men went over to the enemy outside the forts, and their know- ledge of the state of affairs in Namur con- siderably aided the invaders in their at- tack. Eventually the Belgians were 'forced to evacuate the town, and they moved to the north, defending in turn Malines, Dinant, Diest, and Louvain. At Malines King Albert had a narrow escape. The Germans had practically driven the defenders out of the town, although the latter fought desperately in the streets. The Belgian King, in his motor-car, rushed hither and thither, shouting words of encouragement to his men. Suddenly the chauffeur drove the car around a corner into another street right in the face of two Huns. The latter took aim at the driver. Promptly and deliberately the Monarch raised his revolver; two shots rang out in quick suc- cession, and the Huns were dead. The soldier's story of the scenes at Louvain beggars description. Deeds of sacrilege, lust, and wanton destruction, the perpetration of the greatest crimes in history, tales of drunkenness and rapine, all these—and more. The officer went on to refer to the heroic defence of Antwerp, where he fought side by side with the British Marines until OdobN 5th. when he was wounded in four places. He was loud in his praise of the British, who, he said. were, together with the Belgians, the finest fighters in the war. The people of Belgium lived to-day in the full belief that the men of Britain would be the saviours of Belgium. Tommy Atkins was the hero of Kinfj Albert's people. You British," he said,. are such fighters. Y outare not for Death; you are fearless." After being wounded at Antwerp the officer was removed to the hasp, thence to an English hospital, whence he came to Carmarthen to recuperate. Now he hM been medically certified fit, and he is eager to return to the firing line. to do what he can for Belgium, to fight hand in hand with his brave compatriots who ctr( on the field of battle. (ó to die, pe.r- ehance, .but never to submit." Before you go," he said. U I want to tell you something else. I have heard Tipperary in the trenches. I heard it at Antwerp. Men were being shot down as their lips formed the words of that song. It was wonderful. At the base hospital I heard it, and we French and Belgians were mystified. I saw a man in the hospital, his leg terribly mutilated, and he was singing Tipperary.' When I came to England I beard something better. I listened to your boys singi ng Ilule Britannia.' It was splendid. But when 1 came to Wales I heard something better still, your own national airs. They were glorious. You in Wales are a small band like ourselves, and your martial strains remind me of our National Anthem. They are beautiful. Shall I ever forget Wales? I may be dead before Christmas, but until I die there will always linger in my-heart memories of Gallant Little Wales, and perhaps when the war is over brave Belgium will remember the strains of the martial airs of another little country, whose men helped us to save our souls. The Welsh people of Carmarthen have been kind to me, to all of us. We have wanted nothing. They have been so good ."r

BRAVE CLYDACH SCOUT. I At a well-attended public meeting hfeld I at the Church Hall, Clydach, on Satur- day evening, Scont, Arthur Lemon, of the 2nd Swansea Valley Troop, of High-st., Clydach, was made e. recipient of the Scouts' silver medal and diploma in re- j cognition of his gallant conduct in saving a child from drowning in the waters of the Clydaeh canal viaduct on October 4 i last. Observing the child struggling in I the waters of tho viaduct, which is from seven to eight feet deep, the plucky little lad, although unable to swim, promptly t plunged in to the rescue, and succeeded in keeping the sinking child afloat until help came. It was a gallant action, which thoroughly deserved public recognibm. Mr. \V. J.
