MR. GARVIN ON PARTY j CRITICISM. [ QOCHT TO BE CAREfUU Y PtOADED DF < ANIMUS I t II | g The Pall Mall Gazette," which i? ? e<}itfd so brilliantly by Mr. Garvin, in a I lading article on Tuesday says:— It is impossible and undesirable tha; in. a country like ours criticism shmÜ" K be abolished. But under present eoiul!- f> tiona it ought to he carefully unloaded ot animus before boing thrust upon ib? pablic ear. The man who feels that he l d t d' ) ?as a duty to di?char?e in calling atten- tion to the s hortcommgs of authority ought to cros&-examine himself ?uirp)y not only as to his facts but as to his I feelings. Cndiscipl iacd minds and foolish tongues have caused the Admiralty to be lobbed of a brilliant officer. The same lack of self-control is increasi ug the I-)-,irder,and such a burden !—of the man ffxird Kitchener] upcn whom the public instinct unanimously fixed as the fittest to conduct the war. d In ihe Bouse of Commons the whole p?tuaiion is anomalous for an assembly constituted on party lines, and the moral difuculti of a imblic.Rpirited Opp<?- tion are, of course, enormous. Unionists h?ve to realise that their ordinary Par- I iamentary functions are suspended, and that much that they mig-bt be inspired to L,ay by a conscientious reading and in- terpretation of public affairs ninst be re- strained by a regard for the supreme in- tt resta of national harmony, and of a 'strong and confident Executive. The situation must often be irritating for in- dividuals, and especially delicate for leadership. But the only sound rule is to repress all thoughts of advantage, and to resist all temptations to railing.

HOSPITAL NOT rnDM6 nTM FORGOTTEN. -0- ii WORKMEtfS AID. i S8AI!FY!? ?P.?SE TO APPEAL FOB! C0SIBffiaT,'8hS. Co;iTH106T,!U?,S. WAR OFFICE AND BEDS. Difficulties in dealing with ordinary casos in consequence of beds reserved for j the War Ofiicc, and the continued e-xc lent contributions of the working classes, were matters melltioned at th inuothly j meeting of the Swansea Hospital on Wed- nr.-day morning. Air. C. TuckficLd was voted to the chair. The House Committee reported that, offers of convalescent homes had been made, one by Mr, Hopkin Pritchard, on behalf of Gower, and one by The Swansea Bowling Club, and that they had been submitted to the War Offici?. At u laier meeting Dr. Held reported that, ou be- half of tho War Office, he had inspected the latter building, aud that as tl)- Bow- ling Club had undertaken to supply the necessary cooking stove, bath and radia- tors. he was of opinion that the building would be suitable for the reception oi wounded soldiers and sufferers from mi,nor ailments. The macron was requested to visit the pavilion and rcport. and a Sub-commit tee consisting of Col. Morgan. Dr. Klsworth, and Mr. Tuckhebl, was appointed to meet a Sub-committee of the Club. Cowei, Off-er. Mrs. Perkins, referring to the Gower offer, oid The Hollies was perfectly ready for convalescent cases. Two doctors were willing to give voluntary service, and two district nurreg could be used. It seemed a pity that they could not use such places and relieve the hos- pital accommodation as much as pas- sible. Mr. T. Davies, alluding to the number of cases on the waíhng lit-no less than :?16—said they did not waDt to shift any who had douc their duty for the country, but there were some cases which could, with advantage, he moved to lioraes such as Mrs. Perkins mentioned, so that there might bo facilities for, at any rate, the mere serious cases in the waiting list. Such an arrangement would be better for the wounded soldiers, better for the hos- pital, and better for the serious civilian cases. War Office Consent. The Chairman said the House Com- mittee had taken the. matter into very serious consideration on several occasions with the same view. They knew :)11 beds were allotted to the, War Office, and that no action could be taken without the latter's consent. The class of patients sent was left entirely to the War Office, whom they had petitioned on the matter several times. They had asked the Chair- man of the House Committee to see Sir Alfred Mond. M.P.. and ask him to point out to the TV aT Offico t'iie ioliz- character of the cases sent to the hos- pital. The majority were fitter cases for convalescent homes. They would try again to see what could h done. but in "ii,w of the, scarcity of convalescent nomc-s he failed to see how they would have any relief at present. If they could only get the War Ofrice to send more cases in order to use all the beds allotted they would be doing something worth while. They were still waiting to see Sir Alfred Mond. Tho Rev. TL C. Mander said the Recep- tion Committee suggested that with more advantage aud less delay tho secretary could see the military authorities at car-I diff.—This was agreed to. Th-e Late Canon Gwydir. The meeting confirmed a resolution ot the House Committee expressing sincere condolence to the relatives of tho late Canon Gwydr. The llev. H. C. Mander thought il-i-i meeting would wish to do something more than simply affirm the resolution, and iii moving that the Board record its sense of the great loss it had sustained hy the Canon's death, said it was not necessary to say a word of him, because he was j a man who endeared himself to them all. He was greatly interested in the ho.spital, and they deeply deplored his loss. not only on account of his work there, but because of his good work generally in the town. Mr. T W. Hughes, seconding, said j Canon Gwydir's svi-,il)atlty ,was as wide! and deep as the need of III, .,an ity.-It'he resolution was passed by a standing vote. Gratitude to Swansea's Wooers. In moving t? FiTin?cc Committee's l'f'.¡ port. Mr. Hya'u Goldberg said the re- ceipts for October. £ 1,077 3s. Id., were very gratifying. 'I.hry were all the more gratifying when it was explained that no less than £ 091 came from the local em- ployes— (applause)—and £ "!4l Its. 4.d. from places of worship. The total illsc) ill- cluded a balance of £ 41 :1, .td. from t 1", Empire" matinee, making, with £:30 previously received, the excellent total of S71 lis. 4d. from that source. The total was particularly pleasing in view of the numerous calls and the uncertainty of employment, and it was extremely en- couraging that the work of the institution was so largely appreciated in the town. -—The Board expressed its warm apprecia- tion at the way in «hieh the working classes were maintaining subscriptions. The Chair man remarked that it might be that if the War Office failed to take lull advantage of the beds they could get a portion hack for ordinary work, but that, if obtained at all, would bo vcry gradually.

ALL FORESEEN-11 EXCEPT DEFEAT i BASTION OF YPRES. i i FRENCH MILITARY AUTHORITIES REVIEW THE SIT UA I WH. I WONDERFUL RESISTANCE. The followfng official review of tl \c war f has been issued by the French military authorities: Now, when results have been definitely obtained, the moment: has arrived when a full statement can be made of the oper- ations of the last six weeks. The formidable effort attempted by the Germans during the period, at first to turn our left and afterwards to penetrate it. has failed. By that effort the enemy tried to retrive his defeats on the Marne. but he has only added another failure to that he sustained iu September. In order to outflank us, following his old method, the Gerjuau ctat-jnajor neglected nothing on that part of the iront which extends from tTie Lys to the sea. lie had massed from the beginning of October to tho beginning of .Novem- ber four, cavalry corps and two armies, comprising altogether 15 army corps. The commanders—the Crown Prince of Bavaria, Oeneral von Fabeclo. General ,-on Deiinliug and the Duke of Wurtem- berg—in order to exalt the moral of the troops have renewed their appeals and exhortations to them. The Emperor's Presence. Moreover, the Emperor is there in order to encourage his 'soldiers by his presence. He announced that he wanted to be at Ynres by November bt, and every pre- paration was made for the proclamation .">rt that date of the annexation of Bel- gium. In short. everything was foreseen save the Victorious resistance- of tho armieK fn order to render that resistance pos- sible we have been obliged to oppose to the enemy forces which, it they are not equal in number to his, ai-tl at least su I t Whd was the position at the beginning iv?lle.t ;va.- tjiv 1)(isitl:lon ;tt begiDii-?n, from Antwerp intact, but suffering too much to be able to participate any further in the war. The English Array left its front on the i Aisno in order to go and operate in the north. The work of transport and detraining caused long tleia. vs.. General de Castelnau's army did not px- tend beyond the south of Arras. General de Maudhuy's army stretched from that point to the south of Lille. Further on we had cavalry. Territorial and Marine Fusiliers- That was not enough. Genera l Foch. General Jofi're's commander of the armies of the north, in order to over- come the enemy, need ed reinforcements. Reinforcements were then sent—for three weeks, nig-hi; and day, troops were dis- patched by trains and motor-cars, and they arrived in good time. Divisions an$ army corps—not so numer- ous as thoHp of the enemy, but animated by a splendid spirit—arrived to,engage in the battle. Towards October 20th the I front stretched Irom Xici.port to Dix- mude. One of our cavalry divisions and our marines held the railway line while the .Belgian army reorganised itself in the rear Bastion'of Ypres. At the soudi'of L'ÍLt'mude::i"f' were drawn up on the canal. Then our line was fiung out towards the east, stretching out before j Ypres—a vast semi-circle occupied by four French army eorp8 and an Fnglish corps. The line then proceeded towards the south of Messines, to Armentieres, forming two by the remainder of the English army, the second by The German aitc.ek was intended aHthe outset to take Dunkirk, to roach Calais or Boulogne, to envelop us, to cut the direct communications of the British army with the sea. All the heavy artillery which had been brought from Antwerp was in readiness to be used anew. On "November 5th the attack was re- pui sed. From the railway we ni arched toward:* the Yser, hurling back nio em-my, who bad succeeded in gaining the ■t lank, and drowning his rearguards i.1 the inun- dations. Near Ramscapellc the Germ-in cannon were to be seen buried in the mud, to- gether with corpses half Then the enemy, being unable to turn, endeavoured to break through, and thus ensued the battle of Ypres—a battle which j was ftiriout; and desperate, atsd in which the German army hurled itself into the fray in dense masses, recking not of their losses, but sacrificing everything to attain the end they had in view. But their 'obj('(.t has not been attained, and for nearly three weeks we have suc- ceeded in sustaining their precipitate, frenzied, and repeated assaults, all of which have been repelled. Our front, with its circular form, was not easy to hold. but we have been able to preserve it. High in the Pages of History. On October 30 the English troojw, es- pecially the cavalry, had to fall back several hundred yards before a pr wert iil, effort of the enemy. Our troops made a counter attack at the .anle time that our Allies restored th e inviolable barrier which (shut out accent to Ypres. Our Army Orris came into close touch with tho English corps. This achievement is worthy to rank high in the pages of mili- tary history. On Thursday. November 12, 1 he enemy fiuceeeded in crossing the canal at two points at the north of Ypres: next day he was driven back on the other bank. On Thursday, the 12th, ton, he had gained somo ground in the region to the south of Ypres; but; this ground has been retaken from him. On Sunday, the 15th, tho attacks woak- I ened, and our position, which was already strong, became impregnable. This result nas been obtained by the Belgian army, acting under the orders of General cl'Tirilil, -%vit-h th(, help of the armies of General De Manrlhuy and De Cnstelnan (these three armies constituting a group of fho army of Genoral Foch). Thp?'e armies have contributed ?ril- ?apth' to o?ir s?rc?ss, repelling .all attacks directed against them and taking severaL important positions from the Oisc to the Lys. Co-operation in this way with the Eng- lish troops has been the moans of more profonndly sealing the brotherhood tin arms between the Anh'd forces. Th e elH''Y of ,iir Te?is?a'u'K hus a?! giveu confidence to the Bcf?ui army, j which—having reorganised on its own soil 1 --is ready again to take part in future I battles. Enemy's 120,000 Men Lost j The German lof-s<>« have been consider- able, and they certainly exceed 1.20,000 r men. ¡ In some trenches a mile in length over 2,000 bodies have been found, whilst it, is well known that at th0 sarno time the Germans have been able toearrv oil their dead from the battlefield. For thrfce weeks the Germans attacked in dense masses. The artillery which we had grouped at the south of Ypres wrought, havoc in these dense masses, and kit bloody breaches in their ranks. AH this indicates the, marked import- ance of our success, and its grandeur takes a singularly striking significance o.?ieeari in iniii(l, ?iat th(, have rcg?rd'?d thf passage to Ypres as  decisive.
