The Swansea, school boys (Association) turned up in fore-e on the Victoria Park on Saturday morning, but unfortunately the fall of snow caused two of the games to be postponed. Bi-ynhyfryd played up surprisingly well agarinst the leaders, Wiiunwca, whereas the game between Bryinmli aad Sketty was also keenly con-, tested. I IBRYNMILL v. SKETTY. Brynmill.—G. Johns. J.

Brynmill amawxLi ately rushed to their opponent#^ goal, where Oldfield headed away from Latham and Gammon sent well out of danger. Latham and Wilkins tried hard for the West-endem, and the Sketty forwa-rds loyt numerous chances.

Brynmill made some strong bursts m the second half, bnt Old fluid proved a tower of strength to Sketty. R,oy Jones defended splendidly,. a,nd some of his passes were well-timed. He gavo the Week- end forwards numerous chances, and it j was left for Strawford, the back, to orjnalise matters with a Jo?ig shot. B.

IHAPPY GREENLAND.I
HAPPY GREENLAND. I No Infectious Diseases, No I Politics, and No Taxes. The almost Utopian state of affairs in Greenland, where there are no taxes, no infectious diseases, and no political parties, was revealed in the course of a case in the Prize C-ourt on Friday, which arose out of the seizure bv the British eiut horities Nof a cargo of Greenland fisb in the Danit>h steamship Godthaab. The Crown af:ked fof the condemnation of the fic-li on the ground that it bad an enemy de,stination; hut the Danish Government claimed the cargo on the ground that it ivac- consigned to Denmark from Green- land, which was a Danish Crown colony, and the fish was exported to Denmark under assurances which had been entered into with the British Government that the cargo should not be re-exported. The Governor of Greenland, Mr. Jan Dangard Jeneen, giving evidence regard- ing the ownership of Greenland fish, said ¡ that the Danish Government exercised all the rights of tradfc in Greenland, and pur- chased all the produce, skin, oil, and fi-kh. He himself, be -.1ded, was in complete control of this business, and some people I might call him the general manager. In what part of this great and chilly territory do you live?" mke(I the Judge, Sir Samuel Evans. The general manager explained that 100 did not live in Greenland at all, but governed the colony and managed ite trade from Copenhagen. NEVER HEARD OF THE HYMN. I After Mr. Jensen had explained that as general manager" he directed all matters in Gr en land except the Church and education, and had under him a com- mercial manager, who attended specially to the sale of the products sent home to Denmark from Greenland—the population, he &aid, was not sufficiently developed to manage its own a.ffaij)s-Sir Samuel Evans asked whether the physical charaetpristice of the colony corresponded to "Greenland's icy mountains in the hymn. The gen- eral manager, who eeemed interested, said he had never heard of the hymn or song; but Mr. Roche, K.C., who appeared for the Danish Government, remarked Ah, yes; I believe it was written by Johil Wesley." "No, no," interjected Mr. R. A. 1 Wright, who appeared for the Crown. "It was by an Indian bishop." (Mr. Wright was right. The hymn was written by Dr. Heber, Bishop of Calcutta). This discussion led the judge to ask how Greenland managed ite bishops. I NO BISHOPS. I ITie Governor said they had found they could do without bishops. They had deans. ( who were under an arch bishop, but the! archbishop, he added, did not live in Greenland, and never went there. Oh, lie's an absentee," remarked the! judge, ho then asked; "Have you any No, and wc have no disease or ill- ness," replied the Governor. There no catching diseases. The people live a simple, honest life, and catch iisli, seals, and the blue foxes for their skins." Thi< happy land, he addacl, had two newspapers, but they were only published Once a month, and there were no political parties. After the "general manager" had! given some evidence regarding the deai- ings in the fifh between Denmark and (*ermaiiv.-lie -,aid he knew nothing about: 34,00t) tons of fish said to have gone from Denmark to Germany by a single route during September and October, 1916—the I' case was adjourned for a month.

RUMANIAN SUCCESS. I
RUMANIAN SUCCESS. I Russians Attack, But Are I Thrown Back. f FRIDAY'S RUSSIAN OFFICIAL. I (Admiralty, per Wireless Press). On January llfch, the Germans, in considerable force, attacked out troope situated east of the village of Kalncem. The attacks were repulsed by out fire and counter-attacks. Rumanian Front.—South of the River Oituz the enemy attacked the Rumanians (,:1 the River Kastino, but were beaten back. In this region the Rumanians as- sumed the offensive and threw back the enemy two versts to- wards the south. The attacks by the enemy on the River Sue hika. and. south-east of the River Buzea were also unsuc- cessful NEW GERMAN DEVICE. I Gas Released From Hose Pipes! I The communique adds: South of the village of Zubilno (between Vladmir Volynsk and Lutek, 10 versts south of Kis- elin), the enemy directed from his trenches on to our flank a hoee similar to a fire hose, after wh:"jh we heard a pronounced hissing noise, and the whistle of released gas. At first there appeared a yellow green, and afterwards a white, cloud of gas, which how- ever failed to reach our trenches owing to the wind blowing along our front. This release of gas lasted for two minutee, and was not repeated.
SAW MUCH SERVICE. J
SAW MUCH SERVICE. J Neath Defendant's Proud I Record. A remarkable record of service was said to have been made by John Owen Morgan. who appeared at Neath on Friday in khaki aÆ; defendant in a desertion case. It was said that defendant left his wife and fivo children, aged 4 to 12 years, in 190;. The amount owing to the Guardians wftil L210 18s. tkl., but Warrant Oifioer Gabriel did not press for A committal. Mr Gabriel said defendant, now work- ing on munitions, had serTod six yeans in the Navy; took part in the Battle of Alexandria in 1862; joined the Irish Lanoere in 1884; and obtained bit dia- charge in India in 1893. During the Boer War, and again in August, 1914, he re- joined, saw much service. and was Wounded in Gallipoli. He was willing to relieve the Guardians from (p.thet er- penditure, and to pay week by week to reduce the debt. There were profepecte of a substantial sum accruing to the wife, which would also reduce the debt. The Bench adjourned the case for three I months. I
TEACHERS' SALARIES.I
TEACHERS' SALARIES. I Dissatisfaction in Swansea I Scholastic Circles. Tin; bonuses and incomes to teacher^ have caused much heart-burning among teachers, and the differentiation between derks and teachers is A hone of conten- tion. A Leader representative inter- viewed teachers on Friday. It seems we are penalised because we are many," said one gentleman. It is proposed to grant increases of the maxi- mum of £ 160 (hitherto attained in the twelfth year) hy L10 advances in the fifteenth, twentieth, twenty-fifth, and thirtieth years. Teachers, married or single, who have, not reached their maxi- mum. get absolutely nothing under the scheme. That is a ground of grievance. Teachers pointed out that after 30 years* service a man reaches his maximum of £200. Assumed 21 years is the average age of commencing teaching as a certificated teacher, a man would be 51 years of age before earning £ 200, or £ 4 per vveok-" a dock labourer's wege," as one remarked. WOMEN TEACHERS' GRIEVANCES. Women teachers aro also writhing under an alleged grievance. There has been a demand among them for some time for equal pay for equal work. But this ndW proposition aggravates thi6 grievance in- stead of alleviating it. Their maximum goes up by two £5 advances, raising the maximum by £10. Femade head-teachers only get £5 as a war bonus, compared with £10 granted to men. ¡
THE RAFA VICTORY.I
THE RAFA VICTORY. I Due to Masterly Surprise I Stroke. Cairo, Thursday (received Friday).— The British victory at Rafa was due to a I masterly surprise stroke similar to that at Majhdaha. The Turks have thus been unceremoniously cleared out of Sinai. The Anzace, Yeomanry, and Camelry, despite difficult ground, covered thirty miles in twelve hours before dawn. That such .^strong position should have been capture^ in twelve hours t?tinpe to the magnificent fighting powers of the troops and the skill of their commanders. It was the 31st Turkish Regiment which suf- fered defeat. It was composed entirely of Turkish Regulars, and included no Sy. rians. Two hundred Turka were buried, and 1,600 unwounded and 163 wounded were taken prisoners. Four machine-guns were found buried on the battlefield. Poe- sibly a clearing up will reveal further booty. The prisoners include the Turkish commander, 39 Turkish officers, and some German officers and non-commissioned officers The casualties were light, con- sidering the severity of the fighting and the quality of the opposing troops.Prme I Association War Special.
