I CONVINCED of Germany's hostile I intentions, it opposed, time after" time, all motions for a reduction of our naval strength. The Daily Mail" and other organs of the Northcliffe Press emphasized the same view that a weak fleet was worse than no fleet because it ) cost money without giving security. REMEMBERING, in these POSTWAR 1\. days, the deep and awful debt which we owe to the Navy, it is possible to look back and realise what would have happened if the "Suicide Ciub "-those Pacifists and Liberals of pre-war days- had had their way. AS far tM?k as 1903 "7? D<? AMail pressed hard for a naval base on the East Coast and a standing squadron in the North Sea. It pointed out continuously the dangerously rapid progress of the German Navy. k op- posed and largely prevented the ratification 1 of the egregious Declaration of London which would have shackled our Fleet, and in 1909 came its big fight for eight Dreadnoughts instead of four. Much stubborn resistance had to be overcome, but in the end "7 he Daily Mail" pre, vailed and the four ships priceless when War aam I were added to our programme. WITHOUT the Navy's silent might vV the War could not have been won. Remem bering that, 7 he Daily Mail" is proud also to remember that it never wavered and never wearied in its I fight for overwfeeiming naval strength. _AlmtJlHt1U1I!11MlflmlfltlinmtmmmmmsltHmllll!1l!HfIIHlllJnHfI!lnllmlltUI P&ill JØttiI Million Sale I ORDER TO-DAY S.V.P.

I I The Day's Gossip. I -«———
I I The Day's Gossip. « ——— Leader Office, Thursday. A. minister stood by me outside the office vesterday afternoon when the first newsboys dashed out with the I leader" report of the Derby result. He was amazed at the sc,me. Whence came all this crowd, at I this time of the day? If they were out-of-works, it was evident that they had something left over to place on the race, for they made a dash for the lads and tore the papers out of their hands. If they were workers-well, how did they manage to be about town at three o'clock? My clerical friend was of course perturbed at this indication of Swansea's zeSt for the horses and the bookies, but, although there is an amount of betting going on that would astonish most folk, I believe many people speculate on the Derby who would not dream of doing so on other occasions. The Poor Panther t One of my comrades on the staff was moved to make these reflections: If yes- terday's Derby is a true criterion, it is pretty clear that there are plenty of patrons of the bookmakers in Swansea. A walk along Wind-street in the morn- ing was sufficient to reveal that there were some hundreds ready to part with the-ir ready cash in the hope of increas- ing it, and I think I never saw more atucfents of form at their difficult and delicate task. I fancy a good propor- tion of the money went on The Panther, despite the short odds, the backers feel- ing that they were on a good thing. But iust have a look through the columns of the papers, and you will see how hard .it is to find winners. Men who make their living at the game could n t find a harge to beat the favourite—and yet The Panther failed to get into the first three, and this despite a favourable draw for places. There are surer, if slower, ways of making money than by backing gee-gees. The Milk Question. I Your milk will cost you more. That is the one poirit that seems to be to emerge from the pother between the Ministry of. Food and its Divisional Office at Cardiff of the one part-as my legal friends say- and the Swansea Food Control Commit- tee of the other part. Mr. Williams, who acts as Welsh Commissioner for milk, ought to know ftOmeth ing about the busi- ness, for 1 believe 1 am right in saying he was brought up in it, but on the other hand thore are men on the Swansea Com- mittee who are not altogether unac- quainted with the subject. There seems to me one reason why we may have to fall into line—if milk is chopper in Swan- sea than in Cardiff or elsewhere we shall run a grave risk of our supplies, in case of shortage, being directed to Cardiff. There is another way out, of course, which is to insist on Cardiff or the rest reducing t.O come into line with Swansea; 'but 1 am afraid our dignified friends at the Metropolis of Wales would feel that the very suggestion was sacriligeous, and dec-lare that it was a case of the tail try- ing to wag the c'og. For they are big on I dignity, these Caidiffians! I On Boxing. I I wonder how many people will a&Tvc i with, my follows boxing, in tLt: noMu art it ia a gi -^at idea ox getting tho parstin and the pastor to calie their I seats at. the ring and watch the at work, but, as the rude Utile t thixu • i believe tiu- Koiiutn Catholic pritsts in many places I are confirmed patrons of the ait, and arnoug other piuces where they have lent I their moral support to boxing are Maes- teg, Cardiff and the K bond-da.

And reüdürs I know fuli well that there are many hhus?s in Swansea which are not provided with baths, and that the householders must i perforce use the Swansea Baths. The pre- sent state ol affairs seems to me to place a discount on cleanliness. Semi-Nationals. Mr. A. H. Thomas, J.P., waxed elo- quently pedantic the other day. It 'was at the Police Court, and an appli- cation was made for a iicense in con- nection with the" Penclawdd Semi- Nationai." Semi-National? queried i Mr. Thomas, putting on his best Vuore in sorrow than m anger look. And then he let himself go! First of all he pointed out that semi meant half, and that therefore a semi-national event was half a national affair, which, in the words of the one famous Euclid, is absurd. Mr Thomas said he objected very strongly to the term, and he is sufficiently ardent a Welshman to com- I mand attention. I wonder whether others will agree that the popular magistrate is somewhat pedautic o n this matter? I Dry Humour." I U What a thing it is, to be popular!" I exclaimed the auctioneer, when thv audience at the property sale on Wod- j nesday etooroo the announcement that I ^ir. Reps had bought the Royal Hotel, Rhydyfro, following upon the triumphant applause which had greeted the statment that the well-known Cricketers' at Swan-! sea had been acquired by the tenant. One has not the slightest desire to detract i from the popularity of either of the pur- II chasers, for the smiling and the hand- } clapping and the foot-etamping and the exclamations of hear, hear," ca.me from I ladies as well as mere men. But the spirited bidding and the tmocrss of the J auctioneer in "dnawing" the bidders up < t.) such substantial bids bad, very pos- sibly, something to do with the cheers. A saleroom in these days of competition for house property is quite a pleasant place to go to. even for those who have, no money to speculate with, and neither the I desire nor the means of buying houses— private as well as public-which com- petitors contest for with each other so merrily and with much better humour than is often prevalent at Eisteddfodan. It is not a case of drinks drawing crowds now. for the sales are all dry."
SWANSEA BOWLSi
SWANSEA BOWLS DRAW FOR SliiGLE HANDED. TGUrtNAMENT- I PAilK LLEWELLYN S PROTEST I The monthly meeting of the Swansea Bowling League was held at the Guildhall on Wednesday evening. Prior to the I general meeting the Executive Council met I to consider the protest lodged by Park Llewelyn against the result of their match with Dyfattv. Mr. F. W. Sidey, the Park Llewelyn member, stated that during one head the Plasmarl quartette held five shots prior to the last woods being bowled by both skips. Geo. Jones, of Dyfatty, altered j this by drawing shot One of the Park Lkwelyn thought this was the lSiSt wood to be sent down, and broke the head, and Dyfatty claimed the shot. This left the Plasmarl 6kip a wood in hand. Park Llewelyn contended that Skip Clarke should have been allowed to bowl his wood before the end was completed. In reply to a question by the Chairman (Mr. T. Kingdon), Mr. Clarke said that he did not ask to be allowed to complete the' end, neither did the Dyfatty skip protest against him doing so. After the matter had been discussed for some time, the Executive Council decided that Dyfatty had no case to answer, and that the re- sult of the game—a win in favour of I Dyfatty-must stand. Park Llewelyn hav- ing failed to sustain their objection, for- I feited the r>i-ntect fee. JOINT SECRETARY RESIGNS At the general meeting the Secretary read a letter from Mr. W. M. Lewis re- signing his position as joint secretary, as he was leaving the district. The resigna- tion was accepted with regret, while the beet wishes of local woodrollers were offered Mr. T.o^-is for futnrp success. SEASON TICKETS. The question of season tickets was again discussed, and the delegates pointed out that nearly half the season had passed and it would be better to drop the matter for this season. Mr. T. Dalling, however. urged that the question should be pressed, and ultimately it was decided that the Parks Committee be asked to issue season tickets from July 1st at half a guinea. Several applications for transfers were made, when the secretary pointed out that one of the applicants was a registered member of two clubs. It was stated that this player must, have signed a registration §orm for both clubs. and it was decided to suspend the appli- cant for one month, which will debar him from playing in any League games dur- ing that period. Messrs. C. Jones (Park Llewelyn) and D. H. Hemmings (St. Gabriel's) were granted transfers to Salis- bury and Pantygwydr respectively. It was decided that all evening League games durinsr J'inft rnnn»ni>« "-)- c 15 p.m. TOURNAMENT ENTRIES. I The Secretary (Mr. W.

TENANTS BUY THEIR HOUSES 1
TENANTS BUY THEIR HOUSES Succ,essful Property Sales at I Swansea j Mr. Astley Samuel conducted a suc- cessful sale of property at the Hotel Cameron, Swansea, on Tuesday. The auctioneer told his audience that the: owner had given the tenants the oppor- tunity of purchasing their houses before the sal6 and a large number had taken advantage of the offer. Mr. Samuel said that the public must, in his opinion, look forward to a large increase in the I value of property owing to the heavy cost that would be incurred in building I new houses. The freehold properties, Nos. 34, 42. 43, 46, 48, 51. 53, 54, 56 and 57 Windmill-ter- race, were sold in single lots. mostly to the tenants, for £ 3,200. Nos. 10 and 11, Bay View-terrace, sold for £760. No. 32, Mackworth-terrace, a leasehold property with about 4-5 years' unexpired, at a ground rent of 51 6s. 8d., sold for £350. No. 1, Penmaen-terrace, lease 99 years, from 1892, ground rent S3 10s., sold for £ 415. No. 178, 189, 190 and 191, Pentre- guinea-road. sold for 91,4W. Three free- hold ground rents of £2 10s. each, sold for £225. The vendor's solicitors were Messrs. Ho-tvei- and Williams, Fisher- street, Swansea.
