) GOODS VALUE £69 i I Wholesale Thefts Alleged Against G.W.R. Men. I At Swansea on Monday, Richard Davies, goods porter, awl Oscar Delve, good s porter, were jointly charged with thefts from the G.W.R., the aggregate value of the articles being £ U> L's. 2d. Henry Gooding, shop-keeper, was charged with receiving. Defendant Davies was also charged with the theft of further goods The articles included overcoats, blan- kets, nine bottles of whisky, and other goods. Mr. T. R. Ludford said the alleged thefts extended over 18 months. Detailed evidence was then given as to the consignment of goods. Mrs. Ellen Davies. wife of defendant .Davies, said Delve and her husband came to the house late on many occasions bringing parcels. On one occasion Delve briught a case which he said contained whisky. They took the parcels away again. This went on for 14 mouths. For J the last six months she had been under the impression that the goods were stolen, and had quarrelled with her Hus- band. Mr. Thompson asked why she did not tell the police. Well, sir," she replied, "I could not give away my owii mis-1 band." Mr. Thompson suggested that witness was telling a deliberate lie. Witness denied this. Mr. Thompson added that Delve was also an agent for a clothing company. He utterly refuted her state- ments, said Mr. Thompson, and the occasions on which he had come to the house were on business. Mr. Ludford asked witness if she had heard -of a drapery firm selling whisky. Witness said she had not. Annie Hewitt, sister of defendant Davies corroborated Mrs. Davies' evi- dence about the parcels. Annie Dewitt spoke of a visit with Mrs. Davies to Delve's house. Mrs. Davies said 5 I think I will turn King's evidence." Detective-Inspector Morris spoke cf visiting Gooding's residence, 109, High- street, with a search warrant. He found a bottle which Gooding said he had bought from "Dickie" Davies. When Delve and Davies met at the police station there { were reerioniiiatieiis. Davies spoke of stealing socks from a Morri-ston wagon, j together with Delve, and said these were j sold to Goo-ding for ,.¡,i 12s. lie and Deivf j ■shared the money. Defendants were now charged, 1:: I answer, Davies pleaded guilty, and said it would never happen any more. Delv said, a I am absolutely innocent." j Gooding said, U I reserve my defence." Defendants were committed to take their trial at the n-ext Quarter Sessions.

I PRESENTATION OF MEDALS. I Interesting presentations of medals were made at the South Dock on Sunday morning, by Captain W. L. Down, R.N., Senior Naval Officer at this port, at the inspection of the men attached to the mine sweepers and patrol vessels based on Swansea. Captain Down, in his re- marks, called attention to the great neces- sity for some distinctive decoration being given to those members still living of the heroic British Army which fought in the retreat from Voiis, and saved the Empire and Europe from disaster. He then pre- sented Leading Seaman F. W. Screech, R.N .R., of 18, Blaenant-st., Dufftyn Cym- mer, Port Talbot, with a Distinguished Service Medal for service in action with an enemy submarine on the 1st Novem- ber, 1916, when serving the guns, in his bare feet. Soon after fire was opened a projectile was accidentally dropped on one of his feet, at the same time cutting the ball of his foot against an empty car- tridge case inflicting a severe wound. He continued to serve the gun for some hours in this condition. I A Long Service and Gofcd Conduct Medal was also presented to ex-Stoker John Nash, of 33, Brynmelyn-street, Swansea, who has served in the Royal Naval Reserve for a period of over 20 year! and who was invalided out of the service on the 22nd March, 1917.

THE WAR COUNCIL ————— IMF Premier Clears the Air, Not since the early days of the war has the House of Ctnnmons been so crowded as it wa-s on, Monday night, when nearly the whole of the sitting was devoted to the discussion of the appointeannt of the new War Council. Every seat in the House itself and' many of those in the side gal- leries were occupied. So densely packed was the space assigned to the Peers that several members of the Upper House had to content themselves with standing room at one side. On the other side of the clock were to be seen M. Venizolos, the Greek Prime Minister; Colonel House, Head of the American Mission; Admiral Sims, of the American Navy; and the Netherlands, Norwegian, and Swiss Min- isters. The speeches, which naturally attracted most attention were those of the Leader of the Opposition and the Prime Minister. Both were listened to with the deepest and most absorbed interest. Though it was generally recognised that the situa- tion had ceased to be critical, there was a feeling in the air that the two Leaders were engaged in one of those ski If ully fought oratorical duels such as old Par- liamentary hands used to witness between Gladstone and Disraeli and Chamberlain and Gladstone. Mr. Asquith, who spoke for fifty minute«, had little to say in op- position to the new scheme, though he asked for information on various matters of detail. He commented, however, with marked severity on Mr. Lloyd George's Paris speech, which, he said, contained an indictment of the strategy of the Allies, and a suggestion that the valour and energy of our soldiers had been used at the wrong time and in the ivroa. place, and that British blood and British bravery had been relatively squandered. Mr. Lloyd George reply was candid, courageous and eloquent. Among- his points we,re the following:— There will be no Allied Generalissimo. The now Council will sit continuously; the whole of the Staffs at present met once a year. He agreed that the Navy must be repre- sented. soldiers in any war had had their strategical dispositions less interfered with by politicians. His explanation of certain much-criti- cised passages in his Paris speech was that they were not directed "against any Staffs or Commanders-in-Chief, but were simply illustrations of the defects of the late system of conferences. With much energy and fervour lit. denied that the oew plan was an attempt by politicians to interfere with the soldiers. He stated that Lord Kitchener suggested a similar | scheme in January, 1915, and it was again proposed last July at a meeting of Allied Commanders-in-Chief and Chiefs of Staff. As to the Navy, it was to be represented on the Council by same one who could give information regarding naval operations and co-opera tion. Turning again to the Paris speech, the Prime Minister denied that Mr. Churchill had anything to do with it, and said it was written and handed to the interpreter before he and the Minister of Munitions .met in Paris. Then came a passage which seem-ed to tickle the House. I made up my mind." said thii Prime Minister, to take risks —and I took theli--to arouse public sen- timent." I may know nothing of military strategy," he added amid cheers and laughter, but I do know something of political strategy." Ho candidly admitted that he deliberately set himself to deliver a disagreeable speech that would force everybody to talk abot^; the sehem*. He claimed that his political strategy had been successful' in that the scheme had been accepted not only by our chief Allies, but by public ntnniou. With characteristic vehemence 113 de- denounced the suggestion made outside the House that the politicians in the Government had attempted to interfere with the scldiero in the matter of strategy, and he fiercely held up to odium as traitors to their country" those who, he said, tried to foster dis- union between politicians and the mili- tary men. Before sitting down Mr. Lloyd George produced a storm of cheers hy informing I the House that on Saturday we destroyed five enemy submarines.
