THE ALLIES TO GERMANY. The Allies' reply to the German Note on the economic effects of the Peace Treaty can be studied with benefit by more than its recipients; for although the document is ad- dressed directly to the members of the German Peace Delegation, there is a sense in which it may be re- garded as the apologia of the Allies for the terms that they are com- pelled to rivet upon Germany. The voice of criticism has been loud since Count Brockclorf f-R-autzau was handed at Versailles the Book of the Peace Treaty. In quarters where there was, throughout the war, a sort of tenderness towar d Germany, the terms are assailed as tyrannous, and even worse; and Mr. Garvin has exhausted his wid3 vocabulary in denunciation of tho post-war arrangements outlined. Our readers will have noticed ald) that in at least one Swansea pulpit the Peace Terms have been com. mented upon most stringently. The Allies' reply brings up back to the facte of the case. Its key- note is in the words, to be found near the conclusion, that: "It is right that Germany, which was re- sponsible for the origin of these calamities, should make them good to the utmost of her capacity." It is* ah old, and a sounq, doctrine that the Allies are enforcing; it k that those who sow the wind shall reap the whirlwind. It is that punishment, remedial punishment, must be stem, and sternly just, if it ie to restrain the offender, and others, from further offences. "But," say those who regard the Peace Terms with aversion,' th-e peace will implant in the heart jf the Germans a desire for revenge, and the inevitable consequence will be a war in which our children will have to take part. If the termti are just, and we bejieve that they are, such an argument is unsound. It might just as logically be applied to the criminal in the dock, whose offence has been so terrible that a stem punishment is considered necessary by the judge. Those familiar with the courts know that criminals often do hurl defiance and promise of future revenge when they are being taken to imprison- ment after sentence; but no one in his senses would suggest that be- cause of such a possibility the sen- tence shall be less severe. The German mind seems built upon peculiar lines; considering the inevitable rejoinder. Count Brock dorff Rantzau and his colleagues might have paused before they complained about the intensity of German agricultural production diminishing considerably because of the carrying out of the Peace Treaty. They might bave remem- bered the desolation they crossed in France, when they journeyed from Spa to Versailles—such de vastation that one of their number is said to have ejaculated: No wonder that Germany has incurred the world's hatred." The Allies in their reply to the German Note naturally reminded them of the ruined territories in Belgium, France, Poland, Bussia, Rumania and Serbia. We wonder whether our readers are able to im agine the completeness of the rum inflicted upon the plundered stretch of Northern France. The Somme Valley was one of the most fertile parts of Picardy. It gave sus- tenance to thousands of peasant proprietors who worked their soil intensively and lived thriftily, pre- senting a picture of contentment which it would be hard to equal in Europe. And now not only the?r ?farm buildings and their househoH goods but even the soil, which for generations they had enriched, has ¡' been ruined. There are parts. of the Somme battlefield, strips many ¡ miles wide, where the earth has I been blown away by the guns, and t cultivation will be impossible at any rate for years to come. Is it not right that the country which initiated the strife and caused thi. havoc should be called upon to make it good? As. the Allies say: "There is no reason why Germany, which was responsible for the war, should iiiot suffer also." There are points in the Treaty which may not exactly fit into the fourteen points of President Wilson, but in the main it is a good, a just peace that the Allies are demand- ing. Let us not forget that a dream of democracy for 100 years- the restoration of Poland—is being materialised, and that many cruel territorial adjustments of past years are now being rectified. The nations of Europe are bearing bur. dens which are almost more than they can carry. The Allies con- tend that the share which Germany is called upon to bear of the enormous calamity that has be- fallen the world has been appor- tioned not to her deserts, but solely to her ability to bear it. Surely if I that is so, her criticisms of tha I Peace Terms lose all their effective- ness. Why should Germany escape ¡ from the suffering that for nearly (I sfive vears she brought upon thi) I AUios ?

COPPER WORKERS I EMPLOYERS REJECT OEiMDS I The annual meeting of the Joint In. I dustrial Council of the Copper Workers, I at the Metal Exchange, Swansea, on Fri- day afternoon, was a lengthy one. Some I oi the minor claims put forward were re- ferred to a committee, but the demands submitted by the workmen for a 30 per cent. advance, double pay for overtime, etc., week's holiday in the year (wages paid) were rejected by the employers. Mr. C. H. Eden presided on the owners' side, and Mr. Ben Tillett, M.P., on the workers' side.

I A REAL BAD LOT." Skewen Deserter's Forged Discharge Certificate. | Wearing the Mons ribbon, and dressed in the uniform of the E.F.A., Pte. Dan Williams, said to be a native of Skewen, was brought before the Neath County jus- r tices on Friday charged with forging a soldier's certificate of discharge, and thereby evading arrest as a deserter. Accused pleaded guilty, and said he bought the certificate. Supt. Evans described accused as a real bad lot," and read a number of con- victions. He was sentenced to a month with hard labour, and as he left the court he said H Goo(I-bye-e!

"AWFULLY SILLY OF HIM." I Amusing Moments in Muzzling Cases. I Tie contravention of the Dog Muzzling Order resulted in a dozen summonses at Neath County Sessions on Friday. The excuses were numerous, but a fine of 5s. was imposed in each case. One lady wrote: My little dog is so tame and docile that I really did not think it needed a muzple." I FOOD PROBLEMS. A collier from Glyn-Neath wanted to know how a dog was going to have his grub with a muzrle on? He added: "I took off the muzzle, and he bolted out in the street with a bone! Tie magistrates made no attempt to answer the question. Another defendant from Britonferry said he took the muzzle off the dog for dinner, and forgot to put it on again. And like Mary's little lamb, the dog fol- lowed his daughter to school. I AWFULLY SILLY OF HIM. And y another excuse. The dog wrest- led with a bone, and the muzzle broke. A fine of five bob waa hardly the way to make both ends meat! tl It was awfully silly of him," said an- other lady. I had just taken off the muzzle when he ran out in thestreet, and the policeman was the other side 01 the road." Him was the dog I

TREBOETH WAR MEMORIAL. A public meeting to consider the pro- ject of erecting a district war memorial was held at the Public Hall, Treboeth, oil Friday evening. Mr. John Evans, Glanffrwd," presided over a fair atten- dance. The chairman said the views sug- gested were for the extension of the pre- sent building and the erection of a be hall capable of holding about 1;000 people. The following took part in the discus- sion :—The Revs. James Davies amd Peter Jones; Messrs. A. M. Jvoes, W. Clement, and W. Rees. Eventually, Councillor W. Lloyd moved, and Councillor R. Matthews seconded, that another meeting be held on Wednesday June 4th, and it was left to Mr. W. Clement to convjeiv »*•
