It has In decided that the most buit- able site for the Erection of tuch a Memorial is at Gil ELU VELDT, in BELUiLM, where, on the 31st. October, 1914, the Battalion bore the biunt of the grqpt German attack on YPRB\ ,n.1 vias practically annihilated. The casualties in this battlo amounted to some seven- teen oincera nnd nearly 600 other ranks killed and wounded. It is hoped to raise a -um of at least ,5{m. towards which figure subscriptions within the Battalion from Officers, W.O.'s, N.C.O.'s and Men now serving amount to over £150. It is felt that many of those who have been in any way connected with the Battalion will wi"" to subscribe. Subscriptions should be sent to THE HON. SECRETARY, MEMORIAL FUND, 2nd BATT.

CHRISTMAS-AND THE ! FUND.…
CHRISTMAS-AND THE FUND. < I Thexte is a story of the Fund which is npt likely to be described j fully in print, but upon th& eve of < Christmas we may be permitted I to draw aside the curtain ever so I little and speak of the strain it has i entailed upon officials-th < I strain of expectancy. The £ 5,000 j mark was considered a big under- I taking; the £ 10.,000 subsequently fixed-wlleii the outgoings for the j grants and the building and mainten I ance costs were totalled up—made some supporters of the Fund a little n-ioro than anxious. We had been warned that moajiey would be tighter in Swansea this winter than it has ever been, and setting our hands to the taSk of raising £ 10,000, we thought we were in for a stiff fight. there were one or two boundless optimists, Mr. Stanley Cook being their leader, and it was their faith we are sure which dis- solved a mountain of difficulties. To. day, as our readers will see from the I other columns of the newspaper, ;f the harbour is not yet in sight, the good ship is not very far off, and with the projects now being con templated, it is not too sanguine an estimate to say that the R10,000 will be reached within a month or two. < It has meant endless work, but l it has been worth every moment of it. To begin with, the Fund speedily caught the imagination of Swansea. There has not been, to our knowledge, any refusal to sub- scribe yet—staj^; yes, thelfc has been ope-and the majority of people we have approached have been very willing and cheerful vic- tims. All sorts and conditions have subscribed, the Docks, as always, set the pace; such a pace I' as the rest of the town has not l quite kept up with. But they have served a long apprenticeship at the Docks in the art of giving, and per- haps that has something to do with it. Still we would not' let one grumble into this Christmas eve I note of thanksgiving for the sue- I cess of the Fund. It has been the j biggest of its sort in the his- I tory of Swansea. We do not be- lieve any fund of its kind has been amassed quite as quickly. It is not j quite seven weeks since the first appeal was worded, and the money j has been rolling in since, at the rate of over a thousand pounds^ a week. This is wonderful going, I' and we emphasize it here because we believe it will help to make Swansea merry hearted over the Christmas season. It is to us a; matter of profound satisfaction that our readers have remem bered so ¡; loyally the call of the bereaved. It I has been a new lesson to us in the goodness of Swansea, in its willing- ness and anxiety tu do the right thing. I ——————— I There is one further thing we have to ask of the people of the l town, taking it for granted of course I that those who have not yet sub- scribed will do so before the list closes, dfco ask them to remem- ber the Widows and Orphans at to- rn or orw's dinner table. If every family in Swansea sends the hat round," it will be a most impres- sive display of Swansea's real re- gard for the memory of those who died for us that has ever been ¡ given. We leave this thought to our readers. We are sure they will honour it, and that next Monday those who will sit in receipt of cus- tom at 62, Wind-street, will have I their hands very busy. I And now it remains for us with full and thankful hearts to wish our readers the happiest of Christmas days. The skies are dark, there is much to depress us, but let us put aside to-morrow all dis>r2tl notions,-j let us spend the day in Iuiet enjoy- ment—an enjoyment vhich we are convinced will be deeper because we all know that there are hundreds of widows and children whose wants have been met this year again in faithful, regard cf a promiso long jnee made.

The crowing of cockerels and the quacking of crocks- some parts of the place have been like a farmyard of late—have ceased with dramatic suddenness during the last, couple of days. -=- A young man, recently arrested on Sus. picion, was found to be carrying a re- volver, a dagger, and a complete set Df burglars' tools. He was at firat suspected of being a Russian intellectual/^ but. turned out to be merely a youth slitting on a career of crime. -0 Christmas, of course, is all right," said a man in the car this morning, "but it is also a period of hard labour for soma of us.
