BY THE WAY.
BY THE WAY. Wednesday was the anniversary of Great Britain's declaration of war on Germany—a declaration made after the most desperate efforts by Sir Edward Grey and the King him- self to .vert the great catastrophe. But Ger- many's determination to get to grips to try to satisfy her lust for power and world domin- ation, baulked all the courageous work of the strivers after peace, and her cruel inva- sion of Belgium in her attempt to smash France with a rapid blow, made our partici- pation certain. By a master stroke of organi- sation, our Navy was mobilised and on a war footing at 4 o'clock on the morning of the 3rd August. The words of Mr. Asquith at the Guildhall are as true to-day as they were when he uttered them. "We have upon the seas," he said, "the strongest and most mag- nificent fleet which has ever been seen. We rely on it with the most absolute confidence, not only to guard our shores against the pos- sibility of invasion, but to seal up the gigan- tic battleships of the enemy in the inglorious seclusion of their own ports." Since those words were spoken, the Navy has added greatly to its glorious and proud record of the past. The enemy's Merchantile Marine has been driven off the high seas, while our sources of food supply have been kept open. And while our Navy has kept its silent and canny watch on the seas, our gallant Army has been performing valiant deeds on the battlefields of France, Flanders, and at the Dardanelles; and in South Africa. Botha and his men have made history. When the heroic 150,000 that comprised the original Expedi- tionary Force was landed in a manner that aroused the admiration of our Allies and of neutral countries, Belgium was writhing in the grip of the invader, but her heroic oppo- sition to overwhelming forces has given her undying fame, and that opposition, as was said at the time, saved France. Then began the first of those crimes against humanity, when the civilian population of the country that proudly held up its head was put to the sword, her daughters violated, her children murdered, and her old men shot down in cold blood. As the German Chancellor said in his speech in the Reichstag, "Necessity knows no law." so the German savages showed that the Army of the Kaiser knew no law other than the laws of its commanders. We know how the forts of Liege and Namur were re- duced by the great siege guns of the enemy, and of the great and glorious fighting retreat of the British Army from Mons, and of the advance again to the Aisne; of the race to the sea coast and the great battle, the first battle of Yvpres, where the British forces again proved that the armies that Britain raises are still the best fighting material that the world can produce. Nothing more terrible, more heroic, more glorious, can be found in the records of the war than the work of the Allies at this period. The fight was long and furious, and the result was in doubt until the last. One million Germans were flung at the brave little Army of 100,000, upon whom the safety of the Allies' plans at this juncture de- pended. As Sir Henry Rawlinson put it: "It was left to a little force to keep the German Army at bay while the other British corps were brought up from the Aisne. Here they clung on lnie grim death with almost every man in the trenches holding a line which was of necessity a great deal too long; a thin ex- hausted line against which the prime of the German first line troops were hurling them- selves with fury. The odds against them were about eight to one; yet the men stood firm." We know, too, how the flower of the German Army, the Kaiser's pride, the Prus- sian Guards, were thrown forward for the final assault, and hurled back, defeated by the gallant Britishers, who realised the grav- ity of their task and faced it with unflinching courage. V • • The Germans found themselves beaten in straight, honest fighting, so like cowards, re- sorted to means calculated to achieve what their best men could not do. We heard with great indignation and disgust of the use of asphyxiating gases being poured forward against the brave men whose valour had kept the 'enemy at bay; we heard of their agonis- ing deaths, of hundreds of heroic lads who burst their lungs in a vain endeavour to breathe and so hold on to life they held dear we read of the brave Canadians—Princess Patricia's—who were momentarily overcomai by this foul means of waging war, and who, in the midst of it all rushed forward again, and, although suffering appalling losses, saved their guns. The landing at the Dardanelles was the next great achievement by our Colonial soldiers—a continuous fight against almost hopeless odds; a fight in which other soldiers would probably have thrown up the sponge. But our Colonials knew how to face death bravely. They landed, and have pushed their lines forward in a series of won- derful movements in which the pluck and en- durance, unflinching courage, and strong de- termination of the Empire's sons have been over and over again displayed. Meanwhile our Allies. France, Russia, Belgium, and Serbia, have not been idle. The French have performed remarkable feats, and have added to their great reputation and to their long record of valiant deeds. Russia has suffered hard knocks, but is buoyed up with quiet confidence and an unconquerable spirit. Her Army has done wonders. The brave soldiers of Belgium are still fighting with un- diminished hope of regaining her lost terri- tory. The Lion of Belgium, brave King Albert, still leads his men. Serbia, who has suffered much from disease amongst her sol- diers and population, is recovering rapidly, while Italy, our latest ally, has been deliver- ing hard blows at the Austrian Army, and is now preparing to co-operate on land and sea with the British and French forces in the Dardanelles. Looking back over the past, none can say that the magnitude of the task which faced ,the Allied nations was realised. We had quiet confidence that victory would be ours. That confidenoe exists to-day, but we have learned that victory can only be won by ter- ribly hard fighting, munitions, men, and money. The old order of things has changed, and instead of those great cavalry charges which have made British Cavalry regiments famous and stirred the hearts of Britishers all the world over, our soldiers have had to get into the trenches, dug deeper than ever' before, and live a dull life for the most part underground, waiting to attack or for the on- slaught of the enemy, which is prepared by a tremendous artillery bombardment with high explosives and with gas and liquid flame. Forty years' preparation for war had given Germany time to think. She has had the advantage from the beginning. Her plans were completed; the smallest item was not overlooked she was absolutely ready for the struggle which her military autocracy made certain should come; and while her purely military plans were being brought to the highest point of efficiency her scientists worked to produce the devilish inventions which have debased even the name of war, and these hideous inventious against human- ity were preceded by the cowardly use of the white flag, by the Germans, wrho also drove helpless civilians before their infantry to save their own lives. The Allies did not at first realise to what low depths of infamy the- enemy would go. They have understood for some months now that they are up against a dishonourable foe, who practices what he preaches that "necessity knows no law." It is now that this country is waking up. The British bull-dog has yawned, and is now awake with fangs bared waiting to get the fatal grip. The engineering resources of the nation are being organised so that, as Mr. Lloyd George said, at a time not far distant we shall be able to supply our soldiers with sufficient shells for them to cleave their way to victory. And while this straining between nations-a great struggle as between gigan- tic wrestlers, the one using all the lowest tricks which honest fetes shun, and the other ad- hering to the recognised and established rules of the ring-the nation on the anniversary of the war has renewed its determination to see the thing through, let the cost be what it may. Never were the people of the British Isles so determined or so united. As Mr. Balfour said at the London Opera House on Wednesday: "What we have done does not fall short of what was originally expected of us, and what we have done is only part of what we are going to do. We have not yet shot our bolt. We have not yet been able to put forth our full strength on land. We have had to create a new Army, and we have created it while the German Army has been coming within sight of our full numbers. We, as the immemorial champion of freedom, look with unflinching eyes on the future. We are prepared to make still further sacrifices. We are determined to see this to a good end. Our detvrmination is shared by every part of the British Empire, as it is by every one of our Allies. Our aspirations and ideals can not be better expressed than in the words of the following resolution That on this an- niversary of the declaration of a righteous war, this meeting of the people of London records its inflexible determination to con- tinue to a victorious end the struggle in the maintenance of those ideals of liberty and justice which are the common and the sacred cause of all the Allies.' The Local Government Board in a circular issued this week to local authorities draws attention to the need for economy, nrid we notice one branch of locpl service that has been touched upon in this column is dealt with. We refer to the question of public light- ing, which local .authorities in this district have not yet shown any signs of attending to with a view to economy. In fact Bridgend Council gravely informs the ratepayers that it can effect no saving in the electrical depart- ment if it extinguishes the lights instead of allowing every public lamp in the place to burn till 12 oclook, and some till 3 o'clock in the morning! The Local Government Board ci rcular s«ys:: — "To assist the individual to meet the increased calls in respect of Imperial taxation, it is extremely important that every effort should be made to reduce the local rates. Items of expenditure which would properly be regarded as necessities in ordinary times must now be carefully scrutinised with a view to ascertaining to what can be avoided or postponed. The fact that reduction of ex- penditure may cause some inconvenience to the public can no longer be regarded as a reason for continuing that expenditure at its former level. Expenditure on such objects as recreation grounds, libraries, street lighting and watering, and the running expenses of all institutions require careful inve-stigatio-n with a view to possible economies. In some oases considerable economies should be possible, but even small economies a.re valuable, particu- larly where they involve the freeing of labour for other more immediately important func- tions." For similar reasons, Mr. Long, Pre- sident of the Local Government Board, sug- gests that local authorities should, as far as possible, refrain from requiring the execution of work, the cost of which has to be borne by private individuals, unless the work is ur- gently necessary for the removal of niiisance- or for the protection of health. For example, the issues of notices for the making up of private streets ought, in Mr. Long's view, to be postponed for the present unless the cir- cumstances are very exceptional. These are all important matters and are suggested in order that local rates can be reduced to the minimum in order that individuals may better be able to meet the inere.ci crils in respect of Imperial taxation. The representatives of the ratepayers will realise the seriousness of the position and may probably understand they have responsible work before them. Let them set about it at once.

Powell, solicitor, in recognition of his valuable services to the Society as a mem- ber and lion. secretary, and as a token of the good wishes of the "House" on the recent oc- casion of his marriage. The speaker (Mr. Michael Davies) presided. Speeches were de- livered by a number of the members, inclu- ding the Rev. Gwilym Jones, Messrs. C. Bowen, W. W. Jones, C. E. Lloyd, Herbert Woodward, John Roberts and H. Evans. All the speakers eulogised the help that Mr. Dapho Powell had given to the Society ever since the time when he first became a member of the "House" during his schooldays, the keenness that he had always displayed in de- bate. and the unvarying courtesy that he ex- tended to all his fellow-members, inckflding his strongest opponents. The speakers ex- tended a cordial welcome to Mrs. Dapho Powell and wished her husband long life and happiness. The Speaker (Mr. Michael Davies) then presented to Mr. and Mrs. Powell a num- ber of books by E. V. Lucas. He said that all parties in the "House" regarded Mr. Dapho Powell with respect and affection, and admired his straightforwardness and kindly courtesy. He (the Speaker) associated himself with all the momlx'rs in wishing Mr. and Mrs. Dapho Powell all the happiness that could come to them. The Society fully recognised the debt that was due to Mr. Powell for his loyal sup- port and for his services as lion. secretary for several sessions a few years ago, before the calls of his practice compelled him to relin- quish the position. Mr. Dpho Powell, who was received with much applause, responded in a few well-chosen words, and spoke of the value of this Debating Society as a training school for young speakers. He wished that more young men would recognise its advan- tages. A vote of thanks was passed to the Speaker for presiding. Mr. W. W. Jones was unanimously elected hon. secretary of the Society, and a committee was appointed to consider the future of the Society and also what steps should be taken to keep in touch with those members who are now serving at the front.
