THE ONLY WAY. I <ll»i 1 Mr. J. Hugh Edwards and I Peace Talk. At the Gwyn Hall, Neath, on Monday i evening, Mr. J. Hugh Edwards, M.P. for 'ilid-Glamorgan, and Mr. Robert Todin,. M.P. for Bolton, addressed a public meet- ing in cennection with the War Aims .Campaign. Mr. W. B. Trick presided. Why has it been found necessary to s*.nd politicians out stumping tha coun- try on this vital question? asked Mr. liobert Tootiil, M.P. Because/' he con- tinued, the Labour Party has not sl yo(i solid. It was to be extreme];7 regretted, "because had the Labour Party been thoroughly united their position after the'war would have been established and made impregnable. (Applause.) As a Labour representative he was ashamed of I hii colleagues who were di-ioyal when the enemy were gnawing at their very doors and the kernal of their existence. v I Mr. J. Hugh Edwards said they had not assembled to glorify war. There was nothing to prove the lunacy of the Ger- man paople so much as their belief in w ir for war's sake. Continuing, the hon. member criticised the propaganda of the pacifists, and said their eternal cry of Peace by negotiation was not prac-, ticable or possible. Xo self-respecting man would enter into a contract with a burglar or a' savage, and the German in his present mood was a mixture of both. (Laughter and applause.) The only way I to obtain peace was peace by victory.

I got a Is. 3d. box, and am -t) l c,asc,( l to e- pleased to sav I am completely cured. I have not needed any more, and I think they have been a miracle to me. I shall •a lways recommend Baker's Backache Pellets."

BABY HARRIS. r F8 t d .g Firm, sturdy a&d | strong" 56, East Dulwich Grova, East Dulwich, S.E.. November 8th, 1916. Dear Sirs,—I feel I must tell you wbat Virol has done for our boy. At the age of 6 months he could not take any foods that were given him, nothing suited him, and I think we tried every- thing. At last we were strongly ad- vised to try Virol, which we did, and Swere delighted at having found some- thing that really agreed with him. He is now 2 years old, and is very firm, sturdy and strong, and compares more than favourably with children we know who are 3 and 4 years old. Yours faithfullv, P. C. HARRIS. In Measles, Whooping Cough, Bronchitir, c: Influenza, Virol should be given to children of whatever age. Virol increases their power of resistance and recovery, and strengthens ¡ them against dangerous after-effects. VI Is Glass and Stone Tara-, I/. l/S, & 2ill I YISCLt LTD., 148-H36, Old Btreet, B.C.

He was out on an important duty some distance beyond the lines, and wo have absolutely no news of him. He was flying with his usual pilot. Sec.-lieut. Arm- strong. I consider that there is about art even chance that they are alive and pris- oners, a.s if their engines had stopped l>e- yond the lines they would not have been able to glide back with the strong west wind which was blowing to-day. I cannot tell you how sad I feel to have lost your son, as he is quite one of the nicest fel- lows who have been in my squadron, and: I think the best observer Wit have ever had for this type of work we are doing at pre- sent. He and Lieut. Armstrong have dona some very good woik lately, and shown themselves most reliable. I was talking to them when they were in their machine just before going up to-day, and have never felt more impressed with the feeli- ing of cheerfulness and determination, than when talking to them. Your son must have enjoyed his time with us. I feel eure as his duties were very interesting, and be took the keenest interest in them, and was successful from the start. I will, of course, let you know if I have any news, and hope you will inform me if you have any, as I shall be most anxious to hear. We probably shall not hear anything for at least a month. Please accept my heart- felt sympathy for your anxiety." Printed ani Published for the Swansea Press. Limited, bv ARTHUR P-ARNELli HiGIfAX at Leader Builrlings, Swansea, .j
