WHO WILL BUY IT?
WHO WILL BUY IT? £ 10 War Bond for the Fund. Among the donations to the Widows and Orphans' (and Child- ren's Summer Home Fund) to-day, is an interesting one sent by Miss Tamar Williams, the headmistress, on behalf of the St. Helen's Girls' School, Swansea. It takes the form of a five per cent. National War Bond, payable in 1927, for the amount of £10. We are anxious, on behalf'of the school, that it should realise its full face value. The Bonds are now down to about 97, and therefore, to realise the £ 10 bond on an open market would en- tail a slight loss of a. few shillings. Who will buy it. so that the school i-n,-iv have the pleasure of donating thefull e.10 to the Fund? j The Hon. Secret-arc will be glad to receive an offer. u Among other, subscriptions, received to-day, 's one of £10 from the Medical Officer of Health, and another on behalf of the Cambria Daily Lea.der staff.

INEWSPAPER FIRE.I
I NEWSPAPER FIRE. Small Blaze at "Daily Post" Office.. A small fire broke out at the Daily Por,t oiff(--e in High-street at about 10.40 on Thursday morning, and the prompt arrival of the Swansea Fire Brigade marie the spread of the tire impossible. The conflagration originated in the waste-paper department, and, as can bo imagined, the material contained there burned rapidly. Employes of the estab- lishment hastened to extinguish the blazo with buckets of water, and fhe brigade was immediately telephoned 'for. In a very few minutes the flames were subdued by the work of the firemen, under In- spector Evans. The roof of the department fell in, and other damage resulted from the effects of water.

I KAISER PLOTS. II Disquieting News From Germany. I Alleged Huge Secret I Army. I Disquieting reports come from Berlin I pointing to the possibility of a monarch- ist counter-revolution. The present Gov- I ernmenl is said to be in a precarious con- dition. The" Heds are sullen ami dan- I serous, while the Royalists are said to liai-e a I LARGE SECRET ARMY. III The Herlin correspondent of the "Times," writing on the Hindonburj; demonstrations, states that there are now some 700.0(H) men under arms in Germany and he significantly remarks: It is de- dared in what may be considered well- informed circles that the cOt1ner-revolu- Li toioll is uostponed/ I SPECIAL POLICE FOROE. Commenting on its correspondent's dis- closures, The Times states that in addition to the 700,000 men avowedly under arms in Germany, Herr Xoske, Minister of Defence, ha*, for some time past, been busiiv organising a special police force of picked men, well-armed, ostensibly as a protection against the Spartaeists, and the total number already organised or in course of organisation is estimated at 300,000 men. They consti- tute a formidable force, and are thor- oughly disciplined. Information recently received in London from independent observers in neutral countries who are closely in touch with currents of German opinion, points to the conclusion that the German military party is deliberately preparing- for armed action against the Allies.

Dr. Thomas Evans, Medical Officer of Health, and School Medical Officer, for Swansea, in forwarding a subscription of I' £10 to the Widows' and Orphans' Fund, writes: W hen you asked me to select the. children that should be sent for the holiday this last summer vou afforded me an opportunity to judge of the need. The orphans do need the holiday, and they benefit from it.. They need more than a holiday pensions are based on the bare necessities of family life, and so there is wanted some organisation that will 'father' these orphans and satisfy the town that they are adequately fed, clad, shod and housed. It would be a great act of practical thanksgiving, that I would make Swansea a truly proud town, if the citizens were I to respond to your appeal in such a way as to enable you not merely to see that the children are cared for as the lost fathers, if still living, would have done—but as they would like to think they are cared for in a, spirit of gratitude for the great services rendered by their fathers—that implies a life above the level of bare necessity. I trust there. is going to be a bountiful response; the claim is irresistible."

I NEW PREMIER.
I NEW PREMIER. I Hungary Heeds Entente Warning. I No HapsBurg Influence. BUDAPEST, Wednesday (Received Thursday). At a Cabinet meeting to consider tllr. declaration made by Sir George ( lark at the conference of various political parties held on Monday, the members of tin 1 Cabinet agreed to the retirement of Dr. 'I' Friedrich, the Premier. M. Karl Hus zar, Minister of Public Works, was ap pointed Premier and charged with th'l formation of a Coalition Cabinet. When his list has been approved by tlio Entente. Al. Friedrich will appoint H I new Government, and exchange port- j folios with M. Huszar. Should the nev. Government for any reason be forced tc resign, or not be a bJe to hold elections at the date fixed, the Government is under J the obligation to restore the Premiership to M. Friedrieh. NO OBJECTION. At an inter-party conference heki i after the Cabinet meeting, the pal't- leaders were informed that the Entente'^ t representative had no objection to M Huszar becoming the head of the Gov- ernment. M. Huszar therefore will start immediately upon the formation of the new Cahinct. ENTENTE'S DECLARATION. j Sir George Clark's declaration stated j that the Kntente could not recognise at the conference on Monday the e: ting J Government, because, despite the Arch- duke Joseph's retirement, the head of the Government who called him o power } was still in office, and thereby made him- self the representative of uinciples which the Allies will ever connect with the Haptburg and Mohonzollorn dynas- ties. The declaration also mphasises the necessity for a fully representative Government, which could offer a guaran- tee for the complete freedom and im- partiality of the elections. A WARNING. Sir George Ciark added: If 'lie hand I have stretched out is not taken, I shall leave Budapest with the reluctant con- viction that Hungary is trying to settle her own fate. That means that all rela- tions between the Allies and Hungary will cease, for the Allies could only inter- pret Hungary's attitude as meaning that the country does not want peace, and thinks it can reconstruct itself without the Entente's help."
