1 A NEW CENTRE. -1'- Mumbles Player For I the All Whites. Probable Inclusion of 1 Eddie Hill. j Further changes have been made in the Swansea throe-quarter line for next Saturday's match with Bristol at St. Helen's. Ilowel, Lewis re-appears to captain the side, and an interesting feature is the inclusion as a Ïoentre of Graham Davits, of the Mumbles. The men from whom the final selection will be made are:— Back, Joe Hees; three-quarters (from) IJowel Lewis, Evan Grey. Oswald Jenkins, Graham Davies (Mumbles), ]). Lenahan, and Eddie Hill; half-backs, Mug Rees and I Ben Beynon; forwards (from) Tom Parker, R. Huxtable, Tom Williams, Syd Parker, Tom Morgan, A. E. Jenkins, Anthony Evans. Marsden Jones, Alf John, and H. Raw lings. Grey will play on the wing. Keferee: Mr. H. Eyre, Cardiff. J. think," adds" Pendragon," that the inclusion oi' Eddie Hiil, the Gowerton <entre, will materially strengthen the backs if he plays on anything like ok1 form. He has a troublesome knee, I understand, however. He played a rattl- ing game against the New Zealand XV. in one of the war games." ALL GONE! ro Grand Stand Tickets for ¡ Wales v. England Stiatch. A number of Swansea people who havo applied for grand stand tickets for next month's match between Wales and Eng- lund, at St. I!e!on's, have had tli-eir money returned with tlio intimation that all the seats have been sold. At first sight this appears a healthy sign. There is, however, a feeling in Swansea that members of the Swansea flub shoul dltave been given better treat- j t particularly in view of the fact that they desire to oecv.p.v seats to which tJiey l>ave been accusfomrd right througli the season. Preparations for the match are nearing completion. The Welsh team will he j picked next week. There will he no extra stand this year, but a barricade is built across the ground behind the goal posts on the Avenue side. -———— -<  -—————. SWANS' CUP TEAM. I 1 Strong Side Selected. For the third time of asking Swansea Town will try conclusions with Gilling- liani again to-morrow, when on the Car- diff City Ground they will field their full eide at 2 o'clock. It will be noticed that W. Y. Brown stands down, and Ivor of that lik is in- j cluded. The oxcellent display of Jaek Williams as pirot against Plymouth Argyle fully justifies his inclusion in I that position again, for a bustling, j robust centre forward "m be necxlod j against Gdiingnain, who in both previous j matches have played typical Cun-tie football. The team is: — Johnson: liobson and Nicholas; Durnin, Collins and Oglcy; Hole, Ivor Jones, .Tack Williams, Ivor Brottti, and Harry Thomas. I SWANSEA II. v. LOUGHOR. [ I The Swansea Seconds foam to oppose Jxmghor on Saturday (at Loughor) will comprise: Full-back, W. P. Recs; three- ,quarters (from), P. C. Palmer, Seth Pugh, R. Martin, Bryn Dane?, Rupert Thomas; ha?-bac'.?, D, J. Bennett and Grn,lwlll I Davies; forwards (j rem), n. Kawlings. ?n Godfrey. .\JL Parker, D. J. John. AraoM Wheeler, Rc?s Williams, Fred I Hughes, Phil Joseph, Griff Powell, and D. Griffiths. LLANELLY v. PONTYPOOL. I The Llaneiiy committee have for the. I lontypool ma^tch. to be played at Stradev on Saturday next, decided to give Cong- den, the inside half, a rest, and his place will be taken by Glan Thomas. They have chosen a dozen forwards, from which the eight will be chosen,, and these include Major Niclioil Roderick and Gwyn Saun* ders, the Welsh international. The team selected is as follows: — Hugh Jones; Bryn Williams, Albert Jenkins, Glyn Evans, Frank Evans; C'. I Thomas and T. A. Jones; T. J. Bowen, rd?r Morgan, Rev. J. Stephens, Bobbie Evans, M?icr Nicholl Roderick, Oliver Davies, Gwyn Saunders, Joe Owen Rees Davies. J. Phillips, P.C. W. Roes, and I liarrv Rees. Reserves.—Pick Davies. Eralyn Morgan, D. Price, Congden, and Islwyn Evans. ————— I DRISCOLL TESTIMONIAL, I W. Eynon and Chris Langdon to Meet at Swansea. In tonneuticn with the Driscoll testi- monial fund, a boxing tournament is being promoted at Swansea by Mr. W. Doherty. The hall has not yet been definitely fixed upon, but the principal contest will be between Chris Lang don and Billy Eynon. D. B. WILLIAMS FOR ABERAVON? Pendragon understands that D. B Williams, the ex-Swansea custodian, has been invited to assist Aberavon, pre- sumably in .the full-back position. Jf Dai accepts he will be the second All White to join the Red and Blacks this season, as J. Flynn is already a member the team.
- I .DUBLIN SITUATION. I
I DUBLIN SITUATION. I Sitting on a Volcano." I The situation in Dublin is calm, tele- graphs the correspondent of the Press Association, but: the excitement produced by the shooting affair in Phoenix Park having been allayed by the proceedings at the inquest, to a great extent has left an aftermath of discontent, and, in some quarters, of recrimination, which is partly reflected in this morning's local Press. The political aspect of recent events is being discussed. SITTING ON A VOLCANO. j A common remark heard is, We are I sitting on a volcano," or We never know to expert next." The Dublin police up to this afternoon had no news of any further developments of the P'uenix Park shooting. CONTRADICTORY EVIDENCE. Mr. John Dillon, M.P., told a Press Association special correspondent, that be thought the evidence given was so con- tradictory tliitt it: was impossible for "ny- oni' to form a proper opinion on the in- fid.-nt, which-had no political signifi- cant. O. her political leaders are on holiday. I- ■ •
DEARER COAL. -0
DEARER COAL. -0 (Effect of Higher Goods Rates. iNew Railway Charges. ¡I lAi order to produce £ 50,000,000, which is needed to balance income and expendi- I ture on the railways for the curnt year, the Ministry of Transport announces that )' a new scale of goods rates will come into force on January 15th. The increased charges, which ranc I between 25 per cent. and 100 per cent., with a flat rate addition of from three- pence to a shilling per ton, affect practi- i callv every class of goods carried on the railways, including coal, which, as a re- I suIt, is likely to become dearer by from Gd. to 2s. a ton in various parts of the country. The local coal committees will decide in each locality what the increase will be. ALL COMMODITIES AFFECTED. It is clear that all commodities and ■every consumer will be affected. Food experts declare that retailers should not increase their prices, as food- stuffs are carried in bulk, and the extra cost per pound will work out at a very small fraction of a penny. I There is scepticism as to the new rates relieving the congestion on the railways and the docks. But traders consider the time skilfully chosen, for the transport pressure has passed its height and will be lighter from now until March. MILK EXCEPTED. Milk is one of the \ry few articles ex- cepted from the increases, but Sir Eric Geddes has given a preference to agri- culture in regard to the carriage of basic slag and other manures necessary to food production. It was officially announced at the Ministry of Transport on Monday night that the increase in goods rates is not likely to lead to any decrease in passengor fares. It is estimated that the increase in goods rates will be just sufficient to put the railways on the same basis as regards revenue and expenditure as before the war. Under the arrangement by which "Ii coiitro l of i i ,c, the Government assumed control of the railways during the war. a payment from the State to the companies of £ 50,000,000 It a year has been necessary. CONSUMERS TO PAY MORE. I It is calculated that the new rates will produce an additional yearly revenue of this amount, so that while the consumers of goods will have to pay more the tax- payers will be relieved of the same bur- 1 den, and there should be no increase in I the actual cost of living. If the increased charges produce more than 000,000 the surplus will belong to the State, and may be applied in relief of taxation or in such other manner as the Government direct. On the other hand if they produce less the Treasury will have to make up the difference.

LOCAL LITTERATEUR.
LOCAL LITTERATEUR. ¡ Swansea people will learn with interest I that Mr. W. II. Jones. the well-known Welsh litterateur, has accepted control of i the lioyal Institution of South Wales OB the invitation of the Council. The invita- tion has been prompted by the retirement of J. Campbell-Davies. Mr. W. H: Jones, as most people are aware, has been hon. secretary of the Institution for tho past cotiple of years, and he now becomes librarian and curator, commencing duties in the new year. Mr. Jones, as a youth in the early seventies, was the first assistant librarian under Mr. Evan Lewis and Mr. George Grant Fiancis. In his new position Mr. Jones will retain membership of the Institution Council, and doubtless will find his sur- roundings eminently congenial for con- tinuing and extending his literary work, which we hope will include the contribu- tion to tlieso column* of articles upos uutive town.
IA FINE -.0-STORY.
I A FINE 0 STORY. I History of 6th Welsh I in France. The 6th Welsh (T.F.) in France: 1911-1919, by Lieut. R. G. V. M. Bland; Cardiff, the Western Mail," Ltd., 3s. Bound in a cover bearing Welsh Regi- ment colours of red, silver and green, very well got up, Lieut. Bland, of the 6th Battalion, the Welsh Regiment, has now issued in book form his account of the doings of "the 6th Welsh in France, together with the private diary of the late Lord Ninian Criehton-Stuart, com- manding officer of the battalion. Mr. Bland's narrative, it will be re- membered, appe-ared in serial form in the "Western Mail," and -tho extracts which were quoted in the Leader n gavo every indication of the interesting nature of the work. The book contains, jn addition, a feature of great interest and value in the' form of the list of all the officers, N.C.O/s and men who went overseas on the historic day, Oct. 26th, I 1914. This roll is a long one, and, a.> Mr. Bland remarks, no more patriotic band of fine-hearted fellows ever gath- ered together," but the losses of the battalion is showed by the fact that at the signing of the Ariqistice there were hardly 30 left of those who had left Swansea. Many were dead, hundreds were wounded or missing. There are many photographs, including those of four C.O.'s: Lord Ninian Stuart, Lieut.- Col. C. A. S. Carleton, D.S.O., (some- time Adjutant), Lieut.-Col. Lionel Frisby, D.S.O., M.C. (who went to France as a subaltern), and Major C. J. Cowley, M.C.. D.C.M. (who went overseas as a sergeant). Lieut. Bland has earned the gratitude of everyone who is eo"l(",i I with the p:1 and ^u*ur<* of this sterling pattalion, anjJ, as a record of the sufferings and exploits of Swansea's Own Unit, the book should be treasured in thousands or homes.

I LATE MAGISTRATES' CLERK. 1, Police Court Tributes to Late Mr. tes to Late Mr. Jenkin Jones. I Further references were made at the 1 Swansea Police Court on Tuesday to the death of the magistrates' clerk, Mr. Jen- Kin Jones. The chairman (Mr. J. W. Jones) said he was sure he would be expressing the fb r.l wish of the Bench, a? all the-j'us- t iŒS, hy (,lldoring enry wor? said yester. luT i Mr Richard Martin with regard clay b 'v Afr. -Rieliird )vi artilt witli reg ard to their late venerable clerk, Mr. Jenkin Jones. He was sure they were all ex- tremely grieved and sorry to lose 'such a popular and great figure in the town. He ventured to say that the sympathy of all I the justices was extended most sincerely to the members of the family. It was Mr. Jenkin Jones who established a sys- tem of punctuality in that court that was striking. At one period it was regarded as the only public institution in Swan- sea to start exactly to time. Rarely did he take an holiday. He always jealously guarded the honour of the Bench, and never let them down." Mr. W. Arthur Thomas spoke in a simi- lar strain. Mr. Henry Thompson deplored the loss of a close personal friend. He was not only a great lawyer, but a true gentle- man, and to him a very dear friend. He would always remember Mr. Jones as a man of generous disposition, and of charming characteristics. He did good by stealth. Many were the acts of kind- ness which he did unostentatiously. He i would love to think of the kindly hand I that Mr. Jones hud extended to him when he first came to practice at the court—a I raw recruit. Ur. J. Evan Rowlands also spoke, and I the whole court rose as a tribute to him that had passed.
