[ CARDIFF CITY BATTALION LOSSES. I A letter received from France gives further I particulars of the circumstances in which Second-Lieut. Lindsay Gaskell and one of the men of the Cardiff City Battalion met their death. The writer states :— "1 am sorry to tell you that on Tuesday we « had another bombing accident. A platoon of D Company were practising bombing in a field, under Second-Lieutenant Lindsay Gaskell, when a bomb, the time fuse of which was apparently defective, exploded in a man's t hand, and shattered it completely. Another man had his neck dislocated by the sheer force t of the concussion. Lieutenant Gaskell re- oeived injuries to his head, from which he succumbed a few hours later, while, in addi- tion, two sergeants and three men received serious injuries. "It is particularly distressing when one realises that Lieut. not join the „ battalion till August, having only then re- turned from ten months' service with the H.A.C. (infantry) in the trenches in France, from •. liich he came out without a scratch. ts, "L tenant Gaskell's home is in London. He t cousin of Lieutenant-Colonel Frank J Gaske our commanding oiffeer. Everyone is in good spirits and looking forward to once more taking up our share of the great work." Lieutenant Lindsay Gaskell waa a eon of Mr. James S. Gaskell, of Epeom-brother of Colonel Joseph Gaskell, V.D., the honorary colonel of the 2nd Welsh Brigade R.F.A.- and previous to joining the service was ar- ticled to a London firm of solicitors.

PENYBONT'S MEDICAL I OFFICER. I COUNCILLOR'S STRONG LANGUAGE. I A QUESTION OF DUTY. I Aris.ing out of the report of the Sanitary inspector for the No. 2 district at Penybont council on Saturday, Mr. W. A. Howell re- ierred to a case of diphtheria at Pencoed, in which it appeared that the parents declined to allow the child to be taken to the hospi- tal. He asked if the Council had power to compel the parents tb let the child go. The Sajaitaxy Inspector: If there is not auflicient accommodation, we could get the medical officer s certificate, and then get a magistrates order for the removal of the patient. We have had some difficulty though, because the medical officer refers to the doctors attending the cases, and naturally they do not care to give a certificate. Mr. T. Morgan: It is useless totdlk about isolation unless the hospital is extended. Mr. Butler: What our officer has told us now is to me an eye-opener. It is a matter that we should deal with. If we can't have the aesictauce of our own medical officer to get patients removed in cases of this kind, then we should take steps to remove our medical officer. He is not acting in the in- terests of the district, and is not doing his duty as a medical officer. I move that he be written to. The resolution was carried. Mr. W. A. Howell: As a sanitary authority. We have failed to stamp out scarlet fever, and in my opinion that is due to the isola- tion of children at home.. It is false to say that in a small cottage with two rooms upstairs and two room downstairs, a child suffering from infectious disease can be isolated. We shall have to face something in regard to our isolation hospital which is full. Later in the meeting it was reported that the Sanitary Inspector had effected an economy in regard to the quantity of disinfec- tants used., and! Mr. W. A. Howell hoped that in reducing the amount they would not have an increase in infectious diseases. Mr. T. Davies: No, it is a question of economy in distribution. Mr. J. T. Salathiel: There has been wil- ful waste in the past, and I don't think there will be any increase in infectious disea.ses by reason of more efficient methods in the dis-, tribution of disinfectants.

*1 VALE NOTES. I (By PELA-GIUS ) I I The recent auction sales held at Llantwit I and Cowbridge in aid of the British Farmers' Red Cross Society, proved a great financial I success, and reflect great credit on the joint hon. secretaries, Mr. T. Hopkin, Rosedew, Llantwit, and Mr- D. C. Watts, Cowbridge, and the three local auctioneers, who gave their services free to the promoters. The ) gross receipts were P-415 16s., of which £2211 5s. was for lots specially given to the Welsh Hospital, and £1 for lots similarly reserved for Beaupre Convalescent Hospital, leaving the handsome sum of L406 -5s. as a donation to the British Farmers' Red Cross. Ill The many Vale friends of Corporal Andrew Loveluck wish him a speedy recovery from his wounds received in France, for though the I family now live at Porthcawl, the Loveluck boys are claimed as Llantonians, for it was here they spent their boyhood, and are all fine sports. They aided the local Cricket, Football and Miniature Rifle Clubs to gain many a victory. Corpl. Loveluck spent much of his short leave from the front last autumn at his old home, Llantwit, and it was inspir- ing to chat with such a cheerful soldier, who J had spent many a dreary week amidst the shells and trials of this war. Ill For Darwin is claimed the discovery of the law of natural selection, but the discovery of natural selection of men who must serve their country as soldiers must be awarded to the local self-elected star chamber tribunal, who have decided who must go and who must not be taken away to the field of battle. lit It quite a natural selection, for if par- ents are to judge whose children are fairest, it follows that the verdict will be given in favour I of their own children. In like manner, could it be expected that this. star chamber tribunal would send their sons to risk their lives for their country's honour? Ill What the on-lookers want to know is, Is this selection to carry weight with the Army authorities or not?

The body of William Kearsley (18), of Wigan, who whs wanted in connection with a Wigan murder charge, was found on Monday in the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, near Kears- ley's home. Kearsley had been missing since Monday of last week. It's very dangerous to discharge these pistols on the highway," said the Mayor of Newport on Monday to Bertie Price, Henson Street. "Lot's of people get killed by this foolish practice. You'll have to pay the costs of the case and forfeit the pistol for firing it in the atreet."

P8NYB0NT RURAL DISTRICT I COUNCIL. ♦ AN UNFENCED QUARRY. I DEACONS' AND PROPERTY OWNERS' I SQUABBLE. The meeting of Penybont R.D. Council on I Saturday was presided over by Mr. G. Jeanes. LIGHTING PROHIBITED. I A letter was read from Tythegston Higher Parish Council, stating that the police had prohibited the lighting of street lamps After January 9th, such lamps being visible from the Channel. Mr. D. H. Prioe: I doubt whether the lights can be seen from the Channel. It is diffi- cult to see them on land at a distance of 40 yards. They allow the collieries to light bril- liant lamps which can be seen. It is a lot of rot. Mr. T. Dav-ies supported the action of the police to take action where necessary. Mr. D. EL Prioe: Where necessary I agree. PYLE INN QUARRY. I Pyle Parish Council wrote asking what steps had been taken with regard to the fenc- ing of Pyle Inn Quarry Pool. It was stated by the district representative that the quarry came under the Mines Act. There had been a number of drowning Cases, and the jury in one instance suggested that the matter should be brought before the I Rural District Council. Mr. T. Butler asked whether any letter had been received from the Coroner. The Deputy Clerk: No. Mr. J. T, Salathiel pointed out that this matter came within an Act of Parliament making the landlord responsible for the fenc- ing. It was agreed that the Clerk should be in- structed to write to the Margam Estate on the matter. The Sanitary Inspector stated that if noth- ing was done it would be the Council's duty to take proceedings. WATER SUPPLIES. I The committee appointed to consider the question of additional water supplies to aug- ment the Aberkenfig water supply, recom- mended the adoption of the scheme for using the Cildaudy Springs. It was proposed by the committee that the assess- able value of the parishes of Newcastle Higher and Ynisawdre be obtained, and that the Council should be informed what rate £ 270 would entail spread over two rates. Mr. Eiryn Davies (sanitary inspector): Divi- ded between two rates for each parish it would mean 1 Jd. each for the half-year. Mr. L. D. Nicholl, the inspector said, con- sidered there would be no difficulty in the way of the Council acquiring these two sources, and should the Council approve of the scheme he would receive the plans. The scheme was approved. INFECTIOUS DISEASES. I Mr. Eiryn Davies (sanitary inspector for No. 1 district) reported that thirteen cases of infectious diseases had been notified during the month. They included two cases of diph- theria, one enteric fever, one measles, and the rest scarlet fever. In one house of two rooms upstairs and two rooms downstairs, nine people lived-parents and seven children. The walls were damp, and the floor dilapi- dated. It was agreed to serve notice in this instance to abate the nuisance. The Inspector further reported that he had made an inspection of the old quarry at Heol- fach, Cornelly, and in his opinion the tipping that had taken place there had no probable connection with the recent epidemic of scarlet fever. The whole of the houses situated on this road were of recent construction, and were all supplied by rain water tanks and from the well in Blue Street. There would be a possible danger in time of some of the underground tanks becoming contaminated. The owners of the houses had twice petitioned the Council to extend the water mains from Cornelly, and this could be done at a profit to the Council. A SQUABBLE. It was reported by the sanitary inspector that he had seen the owners of property near Betharran Chapel, Brynmenin, and the dea- cons of the chapel regarding the nuisance ex- isting there. Sewers run under the chapel, and there was a breakage in the pipe causing the sewer to flood the back portion of the chapel. There was considerable feeling be- tween the parties over the matter. The Council's position was this: If there was a difficulty in finding the owners of the drains, the Council should prosecute the chapel people, as the chapel was where the nuisance appeared. Mr. W. A. Howell: Have not the chapel people some remedy without coming here ? It seems rather hard on t hem. The Sanitary Inspector: Yes, only they want us to do the work. Mr. Butler:: Would it not be well if the opinion of the inspector were made known to the chapel people? It was suggested that an attempt should be made to "pour oil on the troubled waters/* and a small committee was appointed to meet the owners of the property adjoining the chapel and the chapel deacons, to see if some satisfactory steps could be taken to put a stop to the nuisance.

THE HOW. ROLAND PHILIPPS SUPPORTS THE GOVERNMENT. I Writing to Mr. Llewellyn Davies, Liberal agent for South Glamorgan, Captain the Hon. Roland Philipps, Liberal candidate for the constituency, states:— Just a line to you from the trenches to j say I am fit and well, and often thinking of my many friends in South Glamorgan. I have followed the political situation at home with the greatest interest, and in the matter of recruits for the Army I stand in full agreement with the position taken up from the beginning by Mr. Asquith, and so clearly explained by himself in the House of Com- mons and by Lord Kitchener in the House of I Lords."

SOUTHERN DOWN REST. I OPENED FOR WOUNDED SOLDIEUS. I I GREAT SACRIFICE OF THE: WORKING CLASSES. I The "Rest" Convalescent. Home at Souths erndown was opened on Saturday as a St. John auxiliary military hospital. As- in the case of the Porthcawl "Rest," the institution has been handed over for the winter months, together with the winter staff, too; the St. David's Cencre of the St. John Ambulance Association, and will- be staffed, by members of the association, whom the British Red Uross Society will be invited to assist.. The commandant is Mrs. Kate Lewis; the matron, Miss Ruffle, and the medical officer,. Dr.. W. Edmund Thomas, Bridgend. Lord Aberdare, who is one of the. vice- presidents of the St. David's Centre, presided at the inaugural ceremony, and was sup- ported on the platform by Colonel J. P. Tur- bervill (chairman, of the "Rest" Committee), Canon David Davies, Mi-. Herbert Lewis (deputy commissioner for Wales of the Order of St. John), and Mr. E. M. Corbett, Car-, diff (member of the Executive committee of the St. David's Centre). There were also present Mr. Mrs., and Miss Ingledew, Cardiff; Colonel, Mrs., and Miss Denniss, Colonel' Wallace, Colonel, Mrs. and Miss Arnallt Jones, Mrs. Oakden Fisher, Radyr; the Rev. David Phillips, Vicar of Newcastle, Bridgend j the Rev. T. D. Bevan, Vicar of Eweirny; the Rev. M. Evanson, Merthyrmawr; Mrs. Ver- non Hartshorn, Maesteg; Mrs. Bramley, com- mandant of the British Red Cross Hospital, Bridgend; Miss Booker, commandant of the British Red Cross Hospital, Slon; Dr and Mrs. W. Edmund Thomas, Bridgend; Mr. A. WilKangts, secretary of the "Rests"; Mr. D. T. Alexander, Mr. and Mrs.. Pardoe, Barry; Mr. Evan David, Blaengarw; Mr. and Mrs. H. 0 Irvine, Southerndown; Mr. and Mrs. Davison, Pontypridd; Miss Lambton, matron, Porthcawl Rest" Sister Carr, Mrs. Lewis, widow of Dr. Lewis, founder of the Porthcawl "Rest" the Rev. D. T. Griffiths, vicar of St. Bride Major, and others. Lord Aberdare said it was a proud and satisfactory thing to all dwellers in the land of Morgan that, while their oounty had been, if not the premier county, certainly the second in the field as a recruiting area, they were also second to none in providing hospi- tal accommodation for wounded soldiers. Every corner of the oounty was being used for this purpose, and every rank and every class were represented in this good work, but in the handing over of the "Rests," it was the old people and the young children who were mak- ing the greatest sacrifioes, and he believed they were doing it willingly for the sake of those who were wounded. His lordship con- cluded by handing over the building, on be- half of the "Rest" Committee, to Mr E. M. Corbett, as representing the St. John Ambu- lance Association. Mr. E. M. Corbett said that when the his- tory of the Southerndown "Rest" come to be I written it would be one of the brightest pages, which dealt with the period of its. existence when it ministered to the health, and aided the recuperation of those men. who had been willing to make the greatest sacrifice of all to guard these shores. Though the building was nominally handed over to the Hospital of St. John, the assistance of British Red Cross Society nurses would be asked for, and their services accepted with the greatest alacrity and satisfaction. Canon David Davies having conducted the religious part of the ceremony, Colonel Wal- lace proposed a vote of thanks to the "Rest" Committee, and said it was a great boon to have auxiliary hospitals such as that to which to send the patients. Colonel Denniss, seconding, said that if we were to get any good out of the war, as he believed we should, one of the greatest things would be the magnificent expression of sym- pathy which was evoked between one class and another and between all members of the community. Colonel J. P. Turbervill, responding for the "Rest" Committee, said the working classes formed a majority of the subscribers to the institution, and more than half the subscrip- tions came from them. The handing over of the "Rest" was easy enough for some of them to agree to, but, on the part of the working classes it was a very great sacrifice. (Hear, hear.) Their representatives said that no sacrifice was to& great to make for those who had, been wounded in the war. A vote of thanks was also passed to Lord Aberdare, on the proposition of Col. Amallt Jones, seconded by the Rev. David Phillips, Vicar of Newcastle, Bridgend. Mr. Herbert Lewis read a letter from the Hon. Arthur Stanley, M.V.O., M.P. chair- man of the Joint War Committee,. offering congratulations on the good work of the Order of St. John, and a letter from Colonel Hep- burn, of the 3rd Western General Hospital, acknowledging the great assistance he had received from the Order. Mr. Lewis said that in Wales alone 25,000 beds were set apart for the reception and nursing of the wounded. and in Glamorgan the Order of St. John had 500 beds, and he believed the British Red Cross Society had about the same number. At Porthcawl there was accommodation for 175 beds, and at Southerndown at least 60 beds. It was hoped by the medical authori- ties and the Army Council that they would deal with those who came direct from the field. Mr. Lewis thanked the nurses, who, he said, came at no cost to the society, and, in most instances, went so far as to pay their own railway fares.
