I GLADSTONE ON WAR. I
I GLADSTONE ON WAR. I To the Editor of the "Star." Sir, William Ewart Gladstone was born at Liverpool, December 29th, 1809. There- fore I thought it would not be inappropri- ate to quote few of his gems on war and to appear in your issue on his birthday. At Glasgow, on November 1st, I860, he delivered a speech on "The fundamental error of English Colonial aggraudise- ment.—"And what have been the great causes of wars ? They do not come upon the world by an inevitable necessity, or through a providential visitation. They are the direct and universal consequence of the unrestricted, too commonly of the unbridled passions and lusts of men. War is a case in which both cannot be right, but in which both may be wrong. 'Most of the wars will be found to belong to that less satisfactory category in which folly, passion, greediness, on both sides, have led to effects which afterwards, when too late, have been so much deplored.

Food Problems I
Food Problems I LLAXELLY COMMITTEE AND STREET QUEUES. As a result of a representative meeting convened by the Llanelly Food Control Committee on Sunday afternoon, it is hoped to make such arrangements as will bring about a disappearance of the street queues which have been so unpleasant a feature in our main thoroughfares during the last few months. It is recognized that present difficulties have been brought altout not so much by reason of shortage of supplies as inequalities of distribution. ■ This was the aspect of the question that the meeting discussed and strong views were expressed by several local tradesmen wito responded to Mr. Spowart' s invita- tion to be present. Lord Rhondda's new Offder gives full powers to local commit- -jws in the matter, a-nd the Llanelly com- n.ttee are determined to enforce this )i,de,- so as to bring about the abolition of the queues. AUocatizn of Supplies. The desired end is. that every house- hdflder should he able to go when he pleases to his accustomed shop and there obtain his share, however small it is, of the particular article which he requires. Fer this purpose it is essential to provide that supplies of controlled articles should he allocated throughout the country in proportion to the quantity which every district and every retailer within the dis- trict is entitled to receive, having regard to trade returns and statistics of popula- tion. That has already been dene in the sci emes which the Ministry of Food have isloed or aro about to issue in relation to sugar, butter, tea, bacon, and margarine. Distribution cf Margarine. The success of every such scneme not oniy depends on the skill with which it is planned; it also requires the co-operation aad support of wholesale and retail traders. In this connection it is interest- ing to learn that as regards one particu- larly troublesome article—margarine—the chief manufacturers in this country have coosented to ration their own shops ac- cording to the requirements estimated by the Ministry of Food and to distribute the balance among competing retailers in the different areas. But the problem of getting proportionate supplies into a par- tieular area is trifling as compared with the difficulty of equitable distribution to consumers within that area. Queues are mainly formed of people who have never deelt regulariv at any particular shop. The Idea! Arrangement. J Th,, ideal arrangement would be that every customer should be registered at one shop, and that each retailer should < be primarily limited to supplying his registered customers. This is essentially a problem which calls for local solution. It is fortvnate that the patriotic spirit of local municipalities and food control committees should already have produced sefcemes which promise, in part at any rate, to sol ve the difficulty. Such addi- ikmal powers as local committees may re- quire will be conferred on them by Order. It is also proposed t;> issue a model sefceme of local distribution which may be put in force by local food committees, but to leave room for such adaptation as may be required to meet varying local re- quirements and conditions.

Local Troops in Italy.I
Local Troops in Italy. I ENTHUSIASTIC SCENES IN THE I VILLAGES. It is well known that a large number of Llanelly men are now fighting in Italy. Among them is Pte. D. Rees, the well-known Rugby footballer, who sends the following interesting letter to the "Star" :— It is a touching spectacle to see the British troops passing through the small typically Italian villages, with their tall pointed church belfrys standing out agaiiist the skyline, while the bells at- tempt a strange imitation of "God save the King" and other British National aiss. The whole population turns out kito the street in its Sunday best to wel- come theiii. The jolly and good-natured British boys are full of cheerfulness and energy and arc evidently much to the liking of the village girls, who, in ex- change for flowers, receive so many regimental buttons as souvenirs that at the next parade susceptible Tommies are likely to get into trouble with the Ser- geants. Thoste who are exciting the most attention are the kilted soldiers. The village children follow the soldiers inde- fatigably dancing to the military music and performing innumerable somersaults much to the amusement of the men, who may be seen carrying the little girls. The latter display no shyness in showing their affection for these big fair giants. Indeed, in many cases, they are separ- ated with difficulty from their new found friends with whom they exchange fare- well kisses and are reluctantly dragged away by their mothers, who must return to their homes. The only English phrase known to them which by the way is often used at the most unsuitable moments- namely, "Good-bye, old chap, good-bye" —now comes in very useful. To this re- frain a marching song re-echoes through- out the land to which comes an answer from the distance of the song of the next contingent:— I love" to hear the music of the old brigade, I love to hear the music of the rifle and grenade, I love to hear the music of the old whizz-bang, A-bursting on the trenches of the dirty Alleman.

A Fallen Hero
A Fallen Hero 0 THE LATE SERGT. D. S. JONES: Writing to Mr. and Mrs. D. Jones, 06, High street, with reference to the death of their son, Sergt. D. S. Jones, 4th Welsh Regiment, which took plaee on Nov. 19th, 2nd Lieut. A. Gibson Harding says:—"It is with the deepest sympathy tftat I write to you in re- ference to the loss of your son, D. S. Jones, who was my Platoon Sergeant. No doubt you havo had the official intim- ation of the fact of your son's death in action and it occurred to me you would like some particulars. He wast hit by a bullet in the upper part of the leg. and was soon carried back and sent to hospital where, unfortunately, he died. You can see, however, from, the fact that he died in the Field Hospital that every attention was given to your son and everything was done to try and save his life. It would appear that the bullet that struck hiru must havo travelled up his leg and lodged perhaps in the groin or some other part. I cannot of course give any further details. Writing as his officer I am particularly grieved at the loss of my Platoon Sergeant whom I had recommended for homo leave as he had rendered such long and good service. At a time like this it must give you some consolation to know that your son has performed his duty like a soldier. I al- ways found him most respectful, willing and over ready to assist me all he possib- ly could. Please accept my sincerefct sympathy in which my brother officer, Mr. Sarle, wishes to join. join.

IWar Bonds. I
War Bonds. I I APPEAL TO ALL LLANELLY1TES. The following appeal has been issued by the local War Bonds Committees- { Dear Sir or Madam,—We are writing j to ask for your help in a matter that elosely concerns the honour of our town. t As you know, National War Bonds have been introduced in tho hope of securing week by week the large sums necessary for carrying on the war. This is univer- sally admitted to be a better method of finance than occasional large loans, and its success will have the effect of placing this country in a much sounder -financial position when peace is established than any other means of raising money could achieve. You will not wish t4 have any stress laid upon the advantage of the Bonds as an investment, further than to know- that the rate of interest is over -54 per- cent., and the security absolute. Our immediate concern is this: It has come to our knowledge that personal ap- peals are being made to citizens of good financial standing in other towns to assist in making National War Bonds the success which every far-sighted man and woman would wish them to bè; and we i feel that Llanelly should not be behind in this effort, but should rather take a leading place with other towns of its size. Our appeal, then, is not only to ask you to buy National, War Bonds. It is much more than that. It is to urge you to set aside now every penny you can spare by the exercise of a strict and watchful economy and to invest it all in | Bonds. Further than that, it is to ask you to do th same every week or every month until the needs of the nation are satisfied. The sacrifice you make in doing so is merely a sacrifice of personal pleasure, and, it may be, of personal comforts de- ferred. You will be making no financial sacrifice, for your money all the time will 1)0 working for you as well as for the country in her hour of need. Every week the contribution of our town will be published broadcast, to- gether with those of other towns through out the country. Let us see to it that Llanelly's reputation for patriotic enter- prise is well maintained by its taking a high place in the list. Let us give a continuing measure of j financial support to the country, which shall not be wholly unworthy to stand by the sido of the fighting record which Llanelly's sons have made. AVill you do all you. can ? Will you do it now and so set an example to others who may be hesitatinp ? Yours faithfully, D. JAMES DAYTES, Mayor. DAN. WILLIAMS, Deputy Mayor. HENRY W. SPOWART, Town Clerk Town Hall, Llanelly, December, 1917.

TEA DISTRIBUTION. It is very desirable, says the Ministry i of Food, that consumers should\obtain their tea, as far as practicable, from the retailers from whom they purchased it in the twelve months ending J une30th, 1916. ? Retailers arc receiving supplies in pro- portion to their output for this period, and the small shop in the outlying parts of the town is to get its proportionate | share equally with the larger house. j
