South Wales Weekly Post

Many tough seadogs have been bred in Wales, but they ha. chiefly followed the x peaceful paths of commerce. Heartiest ,congratulations are extended to a gallant and popular localllaval officer, Rear-Admiral Hugh Evan Thomas, the scion of the well- known Neath family of that name, on the! honour conferred upon him bv his Majesty under such picturesque and historic cir- umstances during the visit to the Grand Fleet. Whilst Wales has provided many great sailors in the past, she on the whole has not attained to such prominence a6 she ought in his Majesty's Navy. On tha quarter-deck of the flagship ot Sir JJ;,vfd Bfatty, where his Majesty invested a.bout forty naval officers with decorations for allant services, was witnessed a scene which has not been exemplified since the Napoleonic wars. The recipients of the decorations ranged from the Commander-in- Chief of the British fleet doujn to a carpenter, und best of all, they included Rear-Admiral ilugh Evan Thomas, to whom was at the name time paid an unexpected and highly- interesting compliment from his chief. Neath rings with pride at the re- cognition of the gallantry of one of her most distinguished sons, and the pvent will be an incentive to other Welsh- men to choose a glorious profession :md to attain to high positions in England's first line of defence. The compliment paid to Sir Hugh Evan Thomas by his chief, and the reason therefor, as reported in the papers, .was exceedingly gratifying, but we should like to think that there was a further reason, May it not be that hu chief holds high opin- ions as to the genius and prospects of Sir Hugh and that he may yet have cause to treasure the sword A ¡t,h which the latter was "dubbed knight." i

Let us by all means perpetuate as far Us we can for the sake-of our children any- thing which can remind us of the part Swan- Ma has played in the war. It was suggested at Swansea Arts-and Crafts Committee that a room should be set apart a<t the Glymy Vivian Art gallery for the purpose of estab- lishing a local War Muaeum, and it is satis- factory at the start to know that Mr. Roger Beck, chairman of the meeting, expressee the assured belief that there will be no diffi- culty in getting together an interesting and representative selection of objects lor an exhibition which he described as an admir- ttble idea." Sir Alfred Mond, as first Com- missioner of Works, has outlined what may be done by these local museums and li,as eug- zested the kind of col lection which Swan- sea, as a seat of the steel and metal trades and as a large and populous centre which has raised battalions of men for the fighting line And of women and men alike for other de- partments of war work, might provide. The Question arises Can such an exhibition be inade really interestiD.S. for any kmgtn of time? I Much will depend on tho choice and the I manner of presentation of such articles as oan be gathered together, and it is possible that the examples of war material produced locally, or representations, drawings, or I models of similar objects, mementoes of the j I work of the Red UTosA, Y.M.C.A., dc., I might perhaps be supplemented with any trophies sent or hrougithornê by Swansea i heroi's. These could be set out, in certain case's, tide by side with the stories of brave or exciting deeds of local men, with which the objects might have some connection. The story of Swansea's part in the war has apparently been commenosd by Mr. Philiipe, j the Welsh librarian, who has "been stormg up useful material for its record. The com- mi l Lee should get in touch with similar pro- j jects elsewhere &o that they may get ideas | as to the most acceptable and attractive form such an exhibition should take—for in the multitude oi such exhibitions there may be ? found some wisdom which might escape a merely local experiment. j

The full meaning of the dtsenrasioois which are occurring at Oystermouth district Council on the question of the private tent*j i w hich have sprung up like mushrooms along the whole extent of Langland Bay will occur to anyone who has visited the place this season. The erection of tents during the past year or two his become a. perfact m'J..L.. "a cult. vI, e hope we are no* light in calling it a war-time fashion, because it seems to us a violent anachronism, and not in keeping with what should be the diligent Spirit oi these time. We know, of course, that want of reflection only is the cause, and not want of heart. That so many Swansea families' can Le found idling away precious i time in sitting a.bout the sands, in bathing, or gazing out of the tent., set up on tile spaces they have appropriated in un- pleasant and unhealthy proximity to each other is not a nice thing to reflect upon. I The extraordinary number of these tents shows what the foroe of example is. A few years ago, before this terrible war, there was no such mod of pleastire seeking as this. People visited the seaside but seeded ? attend ? their dUÜi'B a6 well, and ?sy I did not make what almost aanounte to living I places all along the shelter of the cliffs. When we come to consider the sanitary ar- rangements of these unsupervised and un- I authorised cliff dwellings, the full force of the objection comes home to us, and we can fully enter into the desire—which we hop43 will soon become mor3 than a desire—of some member s of the Council to remove some of those who are frying to revert to the pris- tine-habits of the cave-dwellers, and preserve some of the 1-av for the ether visitors. We feel sure, too, that many of the boys at the front world f.»el mo -e satisfied if their I' mothers and little brothers and sisters were out of the, risk of such contagion as they themselves have niton, rniortuiiataly, to submit to in the trench.ee, but which are quite unnecessary evils in any of our beauti- fuJ bays.

Recent activity in Belgium has given rise ( to conjectures whether there will be an at- tempt by our Navy to force the German fleet to come to action; or a possible naval attack upon the enemy's fortified bases. WTe ha.ve the curious; and anomalous spectacle that in the new form that the struggle at sea. has I taken, the German submarine attack upon our commerce, &ea power has to be con- sidered in entirely new terms. The ortho- dox view, which maintained that a great superiority in battle fleets would assure a superiority at sea, has been to a very great degree borne out, 'tis true; we sail the seas in all quarters of the world, a.nd German, seaborne commerce has been killed. Our invincible armada of super-Dread- noughts remains placidly a.t anchor or quietly ploughing the seas, whilst the new- warfare at fiCa. i", being decided without any reference at all to its gigantic gnnr, and I it$many thousands of seamen, the flower of our race, grained to the minute, matchless in their skill, and reinforced by the of the United States, Japan, France, and Italy, assuring them a preponderance in numbers I which is enormous, and in itself enough to explain the enemy's decision not to venture upon another sea battle cf the old-fashioned; type. The question is natural whether some use could not be found for this enormous but merely latent force. Two objectives are a,signe,i to it as possible targets by popular i speculation—the German naval bases in the I North Sea and the Belgian coast, and ita base for mosquito orafj, Zeebrugge, to which a great but fictitious importance has become attached. As to the first, Heligoland, the Weser and Elbe estuaries, and Wilhelnij-haven, it has to he borne in mind that the characteristics of the possible field of operations art shallow waters with narrow navigable channels and innumerable sandbanks, strewn with im- mense minefields, with powerful defences at all vulnerable points. The clearance of the chamvals would require under favourable conditions months of difficult labour, and' t,he German fleet would always have the RaJL,c as a. harbour of refuge—and the channels into that, sea would be even easier to seal. With Heligoland, Cuxhaven and Wilhelmshaven at length reduced to ruins by sheer tonnage of shell-fire, to what extent would it further any Allied objective? The North German ooast would lie opened to at- tack, but a landing there, in sheltered waters, with all the attendant perils of. mine and submarine, the difficulties of transhipment of men and stores, and the maintenance of communication and supplies, would be al- most prohibitive. Rapidity of action, re- sulting in a lilrge force being thrown ashore in German Friealand, might assure it liberty of manoeuvre; but such rapidity would I* .very difficulty to n.Un-in, and would condemn the force thus thrown ashore to another spell of trench warfare, with supplies precious and difficult at the best of times. 1- The one object that might. justify such dangerous and prolonged operations is the destruction of the enemy's ability to sc-nd out submarines from the Weser and Elbe estnar. ies. But the enemy's submarine flotillas traverse without any apparent serious, loss the British and their own. minefields in the North Sea, and the occupation of the entire North-German coaat, from Emden to the Danish frontier would be necessary to pro- hibit their exit from that side. Such an oc- culp,a,tion would, however, involve the de- struction of the major part, of the enemy's shipbuilding resources; there would remain the yards at Kiel. Stettin and Elberg. Ullt a nival and military joint expedition, aiming at the occupation, temporary or permanent, of the German North Sea coast, and over- powering most formidable natural and arti- ficial d'f<fences. is an operation that hardly seems feasible or desirably. The other targeit that offers itself to the idle guns of the Grand Fleet is the Belgian coast and Ze>rJbrug9;e. Tins coast is so limited in extent, and is by this time so well de- fended, that an attempt to land upon it would be at least as dirRcult as the I?ndrng on Ganijpoli. perhaps even more d?cult. and the iMW front that would be attacked would 'be a mere prolongation of the trench line that already runs from the sea to Switzerland, with, however, the flank of tfoft German line this time protected by the neutrality of Holland. The mere loss of Zeebrugsre would not materially affect the enemy's ability to maintain h'S submar- ine campaign, for to his 'new vessels, with great radius of action, a few hundred miles more or less would not mat- ter, and Emden. Bremen, Heligo- land and Wilhelsmhaven are the real bases rather than Zeebrugge, which is a mere convenient, outpost. We do not doubt that the enormous gun-power of the Grand Fleet could batter d-own in time the defences thrown up along the Belgian coast, but the assistance that could be rendered to a land offensive would be localised. Nor would it possess much value if the on)y effect were to expel the Germans from one line of defences to a refuge in another line, where they could -remain oil relative iofety iar aMmtha to come,

Despite the exhortations of the si id "special" (who probably antici- pated a smart capture) to the by to come down, he persistently refused, and then it transpired that his father, who was the ten- ant of the house and had inadvertently mis- laid his keys, had sent him to effect an en- trance through an attic window.

Before the war there were twenty mem- bers of the Swan&ea Harbour Trust Police Force.

'to the committee of prod-ti-, but I meanwhile oTthft&nMn, on account of the de- j lay, and seing men of Mgh wages enjoying a war bonus of 27? per oent., and themai Ves on their comparatively low w?es only re- oei-ving 24 per oent. war bonv decided upon a strike, and after a few hours' notice stopped at noon last Saturday week. The settlement arrived at on Saturday by the delegates at Swansea, carries with it the 15 per cent. additional bonus and concessions on conditions as offered by the employers. The steel works were all busily working on Monday moriwiig. On Monday (writes a correspondeut) a few mothers made their way to the Gorseinon Institute for the purpose of entering their babies tor the show but, much to their sur- prise, they had to return home after a fruit- less journey, as up to the present there have been no arrangements at all concerning such an enterprise. Many askod the question on j the way back, why is a populated place like Gorseinon so slack? Surely there are j enough babies here to keep two shows, with- out mentioning the twins seen daily wheeled 4b0%4 in the ^eramfewlatorsv '¡
