A VAST WORKS. I
A VAST WORKS. I "Anglo-Persian Oil." SOME AMAZING FACTS. [The Right Hon. Walter Long, to-morror afternoon. lays the icundation stone ot thR new Anglo-Persian Oil Company's undertaking at, Skewen.] Some 15 years ago* as far as the railway time tables were concerned, no such place as Skewen existed, and wiioever desired to reach the village by rail had to hook to J)ynevor. Even fihe companies responsible for works aud industries in the immediate neighbourhood, and in its own parish of Coedffra.nc, fought shy of using the name. But as its population increased, the in- habitants, not content with this oontinued ignoring <),f a njune that was dear to them with all the hallowed associations of home, convinced the railway authorities that i such a place did exist, and it came to pat* that all and sundry could book to and from Skewen. I A THOUSAND ACRE TAKE. When. shortly before the outbreak of war, the influential company responsible for the gTPat world-knon oil concern found in the. vicinity an eminently suit- able site to erect its extensive oil refinery for the I nited Kingdom, and registered itself The Anglo-Persian Oil Co.. Ltd., sdcewen," its people regarded themselves with a pardonable pride. The 1.000 acres or eo, leased from Lord Drnevor. means. about one-fifi hof the atva of Coorlffranc parish. If, is abun- dantly evident, that this grewt company, with ir Charles Grcenway, Bart., as chairman of director?, and who has with him eminent commercial men, dl;" not mean to do anything by halves. It i-s in- teresting to note that this huge acreage was required, not only for the actual gife of the works, but also for the purpose of a garden villase. of J..m :1.10 houses. A NINE MILE WALL. The woll, surrounding the works propel*; will have a length of something like nine I mi!?. and K Dood" no adept in calcula- tion to r?o.lia? the tremendous <'xp€nM ?nd labour Two?arT to provide this pro- tection for the industry! But this is rwjlly an insignifieant itom in an estimated total outlay of something like five and a quarter million sterling. As yet the constructive work is only In it.. initial stages. The reorient rngineer, Mr. J. F. Milne, and his chief assistant. Nfr. L. B. Bell, with Mr. ,T. Kenyon. the ohief mechanical engineer, and all the staff, have already given ample evidence that, like Mr. Britling, they mean to !»ee I it through/' One of the first steps taken war, toO connect, the f;1t:' witb the Tsfrad- fellte water main. When the war com- pelled a temporary suspeivion of the -prork, the chief office?:, en the side of the main road between Skewen nnd Jerse' y Marine, opposite the old Cwrtylettw?,Colliery, were being s-et up. On re-starting, these hnve l)(>n considerable enlarged and ex- I1 tended. A TOUR ROUND. I As one enters the ground, past theSP- prnba.blr w-.Il h(-. tb e m a in i pellpanent entrance, the store-rooms building comes to view on the left, in wWch everything necessary for the work i" stocked, from a tin-tack to a whI- harrow. Juf-t to the right i& the fine new- garage, which at present, is being put in readinei?, by l>eing festooned and other- wise pleasingly decorated, for the rtone- ■ laying luncheon on Wednesday. ) On the sloping ground, at some distance I to the left, is to be seen a largo red-bricked ( building in course of construction, with two paralle-l rows of great upright steel girders, along its w hole length inside the walls. This is the refinery proper—a mas- sive building, covering a large extent of 'ground—nearly 2,000- souare yardF. THE CANTEEN. I Proceeding onward along the four foot" way. we come to other.targe build- ings nearmg completion—the electric power house, the fitters, .carpenters, and i),)we r hoj"the fitters.. caxpenter;? p-n(i right is the Red Cross ambulance station, prepared for any emergency. Here alsi are the foremen's and timekeeper's offices. The D r.r (-ia ptpen on the same spot, has a main roonV capable of holding 500 men. The. workmen wlio occupy, the residential huts near by can procure here articles of food,.very much on the tines of the Army aftd Navy canteens and Y.M.C.A. huts. The indispensable cigarettes are not for- i gotten, while the day's newspapers are regularly brought from Skewen to supply those eager for the news. There is talk of even a wt canteen, but in the present advanced state of scientific knowledge, it is difficult to see the necessity of such a provision. THE STORAGE TANKS. I Right on the extreme we-tern end of I the undertaking, on an eminence above the farmstead of Glanywern (to cease as such henceforthl, and commanding a fine ) view of Mumbles Head, will be erected a series of storage tanks, each with a capa- city of a million Radons. These are to be connected with the King's Dock extension at Swansea, and into them the crude oil, brought principally from Persia and also probably from Mexico, in oii-tank steamers, will be transferred. This will be done by a novel method. The distance I will be covered by a pipe line, and the ¡ oil transferred direct, chiefly by means of j a suction process: After undergoing a I slight preliminary treatment in the tanks, the oil w:U Hop.' by it" own pT?-?re to the r?nery. ? di-?ance of some 2? mil. It is yet t'?) (?r!y t,) wliolf:? nature of the treatment which the crude oil will. undergo at the work?, but it is possible to say that the oil in its most purified state will 00 dispatched for Admiralty purposes. The works, when completed some two years lience, will employ some- where between 1,500 and 2.000 men. A NETWORK OF RAILWAYS. I There are at _prl¡t. on the ground for construction purposes about I.500 work- men—akHted and unbilled—engaged in all manner of labour. Alreadv has been laid a network of railway lines and sidings, all connected with the G.W.R. Pontardnlais— Court Sart Uk>p line, and neceMitatins a special signal box to deal with the im- mense traffic, wherebv machinery and go-odq,RTe brought from all parts of 'he couhtry. The works has even its main line. some three miles in length. Every morning at 6.4-5 (except Sunday), at the small improvised platform, near the head office, may be seen hundreds of workmen .being taken "aboard, the destination of a lit rro number of them being the distant tank section, others being dropped at little platforms on the way, to proceed to other obje<;tiv<?. Many of the men ha? arrived at and Cardonnel by ,,cial1y provided Mtrly trains from Swansea and Neath. THE FUTURE. I It is difficult at present to raali?*? the vastness of the undertaking. In a few years time it will-have served to destroy for ever the Plcae-,ant country scenery of a big area. The rural will trive plfice to the inciustrial and urban. Hut it is to the < redit of a gre-at company like the Ar.gio- Persian, that it mJn-s to provide for its t 0ln.ploy the healthiest of homes, and any company composed of such "right-minded people deserves to rank amongst the best j friends o*f humanity and true progress, i J, Evans Jones.

REVELATIONS. I French and Kitchener. I AMAZING 1914 STORY. ,1 Fwld-Marshal Jx>rd French, whose memoirs of "1914" are appearing day by day in the "Daily TelegrapJi," is making revelations that are certain to result in a new var controversy. In Mondar's tn- stalment, for instance, after having re- ferred irt none too complimentary a w-ay to Smith Dorrien's stand just after Mens, lie says that at a subsequent meeting of British commanders, held at' CoTOpeigne, Sir Horace Smith-Darrien expressed it Its his opinion that the only t-ourse opon to to retire to our- Ija^e,1 thoroughly refit, re-embark,' and try to land at -some favourable ),>oint on the coast-line. "T refitted to listen," writes Lord French, to W. f! of a !,Oi n" I c)" despair." j Monday's narrative coticluded with re- ference to th* intervention of T,c)rd j Kitchener and his jourrjey tc) Pario. Lord j Freiioh was summoned there, and he says t that he deeply relented being called away from his headquarters at so critical a i ilhe. t KITCHENER'S "Al R." j In Tuesday's instalment J/ord French I StHsthat Lord Kitchener arrived on this occasion in the uniform of a field-mar- shal ,and from the outset of his conver-1 sat ion assumed the air of a Commander- j iti-Chief, and announced his intention of II taking the, field and inspecting the troops. On hearing this the British Ambassa- dor at once emphatically objected, and drafted a telegram to the Foreign Seere- I t-ary stating clearlyand unmistakably his views, and demanding instruction.?. He I gave this dispatch to Lord Kitchener to I road. The latter then asked for my opinion, and I said m' views on the sub- ject coincided entirely with those of the Ambassador. After eonie discussion, the I Secretary of State decided to abandon his intention, and the. telegram to Sir Edward Grey wjvs not sent. ) "In the cr-nvei'satinn which followetl j betVAen us all, Lord Kitchener appeared to take grave exception to certain views idllch I exprefried as to expediency j of leaving the direction of the operations ip the field in the hands of the rniiltary chiefs in command in the field. He ab- ruptly closed the discussion, and re- quested me to iwreompany him for a pri- vate interview in* another room. FRENCH SPEAKS OUT. I "When we were alone he commenced i by entering a strong objection to the tone 1 assumed. Upon this I told hint all that was in my mird. I said that the com- mand of the British forces in France had been entrusted to me by, his Majesty's Government; that I. alone was reepon- sible to thetn for whatever happened,* and j that on French soil my authority as ré- gards the.
