Addressing the Grand Jury, the Judge congratulated the county on. the light eaiendar, and said he was glad to see the same there as in ether COlin ties. He hoped the county would be relieved of serious erime during the period of the war. "A Very Mean" Offence, Wm. Ilenry Richards (32), trammer, Åchddl1 Colliery, Burrypart, was charged with stealing £ 2 -la. belonging to Richard Evans, a feHow workman. Mr. Mar lay Samson (iJJStruded by Messrs. Roderick, Kiciiards, and Co., Liuceiiy) appeared for the prosecution. Counsel said the case was of a some- what unusual character. Both men were employed as tz-amniers-one on the day shift aud one oa the night shift. It was the custom for the money earned by the m tu 00 put into one enve lope, and it was the duty ot the man who received the envel-ope c, hand the other man the wages due to him. Evans's «arniag £ for the Wk ending December 31 amounted to L2 4-s. Id., and w hen he went to the otfice for it he found it had already been paid over to prisoner, who had re- ceived the envelope. Evaus thcm went to prisoner, who told him he had not received the money. W. T. Williams, pay clerk at the ool- he-rv, said he counted into tho envelope the sum of ol4 6s. 8d., of which £ 2 -is. Id. belonged to Evans. Accused, giving evidence, said the enve- lope contained only tl lB. 5d., which was the 61-un due to him. The jury found prisoner guilty.

I CAPACITY AS AN ACTOR I
CAPACITY AS AN ACTOR I i PftOOABtE EFFEGT OF EMI"ERO[RS DEATH I Since tie death of King Edward there j can harrlly be anybody in England ] who is in. a posid&n tOO kxvow the essential j facto concerning the German Emperor and j his real c-haracter (says M I-. Sydney Whit- j man m tho Daily JJispatch J». At least j i have never seen asything in print, or | heard aught in convernaiion, which would | lead me to any other conduoiou. Yet t-,nebl knowledge i« needed if are to ariive at a, re-liabte estimate of the probable cgetz j of his death on the course of the war. Wel ought ale-o to be in a position to apportioa il hi anare in the military operations, as i well &-i to toriu some idea of iiis influ- ence as an irresponsible aatocxat dia- j poking of tbe le-rources of a mighty Empixe acooixiing to his own free volition II in peace as well as in war. L nfortunately. we aTe reduced to gues-? work in this matter, in,aanmch as a veil jj has bœn cast over the War Lord's move- | meuts ?!:ce hQ,itic started. And as ? for tbQ imormiition winch iwd to re""h U3 .through the rega.j ding his peace- iul activities,, vearily it was scarcely of a nature to help us to-day to arrive at a I well weighed in)pamai judgment. If, in j] spite of these drawbacks, 1 venture to; esprees an opinion. on this most hypo-1 taetical question it is bccausp I ha' had excppliomd opporhinitics in the past ior? forming soma va?ue coujeeLur?s as regards the present, if not the immediate futun> | For instance, it is pœsibl to establish ,i. the fact that, as rcgardc the conduct of it: war, as in everything eke, the Emperor? j role, the p:nt he has played—for we must ) invariably employ the ttrmsof the theatre ij in dealing with 111m-h iis been a bpec- ] tacular o^e. ij Hie lather, as well as his grandfather, f were often is tho thick of a light. They I led in battle, and both. had occasionall-y to I be restrained by their entourage from ex- jj posing themselves recklessly to the j fire. The Kaiser's action—this at least is known-has been mainly that of ilittiug backwards and forwards from east I' to wesc in a bomb-proof motor-ear, always keeping away at a respectful distance ¡, from danger; iasp"ctiug regimen.?, joking f with h? generals, being interviewed by i. German journaliet«, talking to French I prisonera, telegraphing to kis relations, the foivmobt of tliese J'iuo, of Hellenic fame and distributing Iron Crosses. Such arc th? functions, as we are credibly informed, which have nlled up his days II ever since the inaslaughtering began. Ail thi?, as w?ll be readily admitted, 1 doe& not point to the Emperor having | much to do with the atratcgie leadership 1 of the German armies in the .5eid. An<i? eundry evidence, even though of an in- j direct cjrc?DJt??uitial character, tends to I support the view that whatever success has been obtained by the German armies is dU0 to the dispositions of what the Germans term die General etat, the staff which, in dealing with the Kaiser, has probably exereieed that kind of collective pressure familiar to us under the name of a round-robin." i For instance, as far 1hacli: as twenty yea re ago, the invasion of Poland and the taking of Warsaw by the combined anni-es I of Germany and Austria-Hungary, in spite of Bifiaark'ti warning to avoid a con- flict with Russia, used to be openly dis- ¡ cusfcetl by l'rue^ian Staff officer* No it her the Emperar or Austria, nor the Emperor William were to have any directing power in the matter. The latter would be in tb,i land-, of the Prussian Headquarter Staff, which would manage everything. The Kaiser would have nix zu seggen. This wa.s the slang term used. Thus. if any reliance may be placed on these gratuitous obiter dicta of men in the verv favourable petition to know the ropes," it is only fair to aesume the proba- bility that thus restless gentleman has been rendered poweriet* for mischief by his own military surroundings, and that the sanie stringent conditions limiting his personal initiative would, in the event of his death, await and be forced upon his successor, the Crown T'lince. I What the attitude of the German people might be in euch an eventuality it is im- possible to forecast in view of the feet that their present abnormal frame of mind has given the lie to the expectations of every- one who thought he kisew somewhat about prevaidin^ currente of German feeling, and opinion, my hiimble, self included. Amid so much uncertainty, however, there is one fact to be noted concerning which thero can. be little doubt and in which a gleam of hope for peace might be detected. As loiag ae the present Emperor was in nominal control of the Prussian, man-slay- ing machine his capacity as a great actor before the world has enabled him not only to bluff his own people, but a largo section of the outer world besides. His death would immediately deprive the German State machine of a first-claes histrionic artist. This ill- itself Î6 no mean asset for, according to the testimony of his foxy ally, King Ferdinand of Bulgaria, an effi- cient ruler must, above alt things, be a born actor. :s ow it is admitted «n all hands that as an actor the Crown Prince is a failure. Even as regards stage properties titia is evidently the case. For whereas the father has appeared bet ore us in a thousand kaleidosceptf attitudes, in several hundred different uniforms, the son is only known to the public :i n hi everlasting Death's Head Ifussar uniform, with that typical grin ever on his lantern-jaw face. Both of which have become, 2-, Lord Byron said of Tom Moore's collar, decidedly mono- tonous." A man. so devoid of the histrionic instincts would in all probability be in- capable of keeping up the stupendous de- ception on the old lines toward. his own people as wet a.,A towards the outer world. He might prate about Germany being attacked, about her claims to the from of the seas; lie might appeal to the Deity with the same effrontery as his lather; but it is aiiivost certain that he would not meet with the same credulity on the part of a gullible world. Without the histrionic talent, to de- ceive, to bluff, to hypnotise, and gas 'I his audience, the 6011 would lack that prestige which the father, in spite of everything which may be said to his die- advantage. has inconfcestably possessed It would also be difficult for him to maintain his authority in military mat- feis among kis generals, who, as we may well surmise from the published records- of previous wars, are chly too pHme to dissension, jealo?y, aad intrigue against each other. This might bring about a serioue looeening of the di?ciplin? of tb? army. and hence a brach in the uni- formity of operations. Germany's civilian population, long held spell-bound by a tragi-comedian of high degree and capacity, might begin to ask awkward question?, and, what is more, to insist upon a satisfactory answer! All this should tend towards a great change coming over the situation, and thus increase the chances of tbe ouly peace the Allies will ever be inclined to accept—na.roely, one implying th-e final renunciation of Germany's insane am- bitions.

JoDes 1,L?rriM across the M&ge and seated himself at the piaj«>. Then Mr. Ben Daviea stepped fonvarcL, and a moment later hie glonoU8 voice was Hood- ing tho hail with the otraius of li.?n W lad Îy Shadau." It was quite unex- pected, and tiie shuffling of teet ceased abruptly as the people turned and listened. Then, at a signal from the fciugev ail joined in the chorus- Three verses were aung, tho retrain being repeated in a swelling chorus, the great tenor's voice rirjging clear above all; others. it T.? a fitting climax to me of th-;? i?<'?t enjoyable concerts ever given in OWj '?o?'n. Mr. Ben DaTip?. wb? originated! and inspired the function, was in hie beet, voice, and aa the other artistes who, to-i gether with the tenor, so generolsly gave their services, maintained the Jaishj musicsil standard he set. There was a large and appreciative! audience present, liberally besprinkled with khaki, and they were quick to re-i spond to the delightful vocal and instrti-! mental treat provided. Curiously enongh i the light sentimental ballad was an ea,,Yi favourite, and as each siug,?r judiciously!  me,,? a -.y blended the simple r?tchy mbdy withj more ambitious numbers all taées were gratified and all dc?sirpa satished. The seats filled hpidly as soon a? the doors were thrown open shortly after seven. The charming floral decorations came in for much commendation, thej pleasing tones of the pink and whih' ¡ ifowers and their green foliage which fringed tho edge of the platform present- ing a- charming spectacle. Pink and white I also were the colours utilised for hiding tal'i?o were tilo ef.) I ,), I the bareness of the platform and balcony fronts, the whole rciiecting credit upont the taste (d. tho designer. f The preliminaries of the evening con- sisted chiefly in listening to the organ and watching the better known residents of! the town enter and take their seats. Tliej more popu lar weTe cheer<g d as soon as t hy ¡ were seen. The adve? of a group ofi wound?d Colonial of5'?rs elicited a quick j and lusty response, but the Ioud<'?: ap-< pla'Me of the. night was r?erved for ir Alfred and Lady Mond. The a.p?)earance j nf thù borough member and his charmis? s?uao gave rise to prolonged hand-clan-! ping, to which they responded with bows. They we"" preceded by tho Mayor (Aid. Thomas Mar'?.?ls) wearing hiB chain of oiicf. the ??ayor?a, and their two daughters, and Mr. and Mr&. Aeron Thoma,?. Practically every section of thej community had its representative in the hall. I Th? pr?ramroe started off w?ll. Mr. T. D.

Then came the ?r?. surpri:? of the evening. MiS Bhx?wpu Jones "a5 al- most unknown to tha bulk of the audience when che stepped on to the l platform, but she left it carrying away (he recitation of being one of the best 'cellists in the district. The three selec- tions she gave were marked by a com- plete mas.tery of her instrument. Her technique was admirable, and the young artiste thoroughly deserved the splendid, recognition accorded her efforts by a discerning audience. Mies Doris Phillips showed command over a sweet; flexible c-oprauo voice which was. perhaps, heard at: itf; best in "Break of DrF." and Wake nfl," Tt was hrrr ddhnt as a professional vocalist, and her undoubted success was particularly grati- fying to her friend; he ought to have a brilliant career. It was not generally known that as sllf) left the stag* after her i song she clipped and twisted her; ankle severely. She was in too much pain to give an encore. The ar tic-try of L";?l:Fs ci of Miss Dilys Jones' singing is something to wonder :1t, Tho quaint folk song, the wild Irish ai-r, the lilt of the old English melody, and. the romance of a Welsh, love song all found thfl perfect exponent in her on.

Mr. Ben Davies was in rare form. Start- ing off with the xecit. Deeper, and Deeper SHU," and the air" Waft her Angels," rendered with an understanding and a beauty of tone and expression not I often met with nowadays, he contributed in. succession I know of Two Bright I Eyes," My Dreams/' and I'll Sind Th?

The Swansea and District Male Choir, re duced maybe in quantity (mere numbers must be considered). but never higher in quality, gave a good account of them- selves, and unciar the direction of Mr. TJICW. li.

Mr. Griff Golebrook was the accompaniet- Littie more remains to be added. l Musically the co"cert was an immense success.

WORK AFTER THE WAR.
WORK AFTER THE WAR. Mr. H. E. Morgan, who is mnneetprt with the Ministry of Munitions, has con- tributed an interesting article to the cer,- rent issue of the Edinburgh Review." entitled "A Nation of Workers," ia which he sets out to prove that the prok- lems of the relations between the worker, the manufacturer, aud the Government after the war are inter-defpendent. We shall be inexcusable," he says, H if we are not prepared for peace and the questions which arise out of it; for, whether it come in six weeks, six months or six years, peace is as inevitable all sunrise or full moon." Mr. Morgan deals with the probahlflt need for developing our overseas trade in the teeth of unparalleled competition, and says that more co-operation and greater sympathy between employer and werker am absolutely essential, not merely for the progress, but even for the preserva- tion. of our country as a ooioxaerciai. Power. We must look for a complete rev-ofri* tio-n in methods on the part cf the British, business man. The keynote must be the entire abandonment of precedent and. vent ion, except in so far as concerns thft homely principles of honesty, punctuality and good value.. An aggressive organisation 1, needed[ which will force existing openUl ami opportunities upon even the laggards, will educate and energise those plow of thought and action, and do its utmost to create fresh opportunecias for trade ex- pansion. Above all, tins organisation or- national trade ^agency should have at its _,OTlld have ail- i t?;t head a man who is not a politician, bit such a man as the whole nation is look- ing for to-day. a man himself successful in business who can put upon his staff, and through it upon the commerce oi the country, the impress of his own dominant pergonal ity."
