DELUGE OF NEUVE CHAPELLES.
DELUGE OF NEUVE CHAPELLES. WHAT BRITAIN NEEDS MS. ILSTB CEORCE'S APPEAL AT I BRISTOL — > SCARING THE SHIRKERS We "want a deluge of IN-en. I Chapeiies In another of his vivid phrases Mr. Lloyd George, in a speech at Bristol Saturday, which was cheered to the echo by a great gathering of employers and workmen, summed up Britain's urgent need of shells. He appealed again with special force to trade unionists to relax all regulations that hindered the maximum and most rapid output of shells When he came on the platform at the historic Colston Hall a great audience, numbering between 2.00tI and 3,000. Nse and cheered him with the utmost en- thusiasm. Representatives of firms from Chelten- ham to Cornwall who can help in pro- ducing war munitions and workmen in the trades concerned filled the hall, thou- sands of the ordinary public being un- able to obtain admission. Renewed cheering broke out when he began to speak. Somo of the more striking of his state- ments were the following:— I The engineering trades of Britain can win this war, but without them victory is impossible. We are all on the same raft and if we do not pull with all our might and muscle we shall be swept down the stream. An effort has been made to induce skilled engineers who are fighting to return to their shops, where they can I do more useful work than in the trench-es. Lord Kitchener has instructed that these men be dug out and invited to return to work at home. There is only one way in which we can increase the output of shells at the earliest possible moment and that \S by suspending all regulations that prevent girl labour and unskilled labour being used. It is either the common weal or the com- mon woe. I We have all heard of Neuve Chapelle. We want a deluge of Neuve Chapellea to rain for forty days and forty nights without ceasing. Britain may not have been ready, but i Britain means to make up for lost time now. Shirkers Will Soon Be Scarce. I have delivered during the short time I have held this office so many speeches that I am afraid you will im- agine that I have done nothing but talk. I can assure you we have all been work- ing very hard, and that speeches, so far as we are concerned, are simply a pre- liminary not merely to action on our own part but an inducement to action on the part of others. We have received a most encouraging reepoase so far. (Cheers). I have met employers and have met the leading re- presentatives of labour in the engineering trades, and I have had but one answer eu far—"Just out and tell us what you want done and we will do it." (Cheers). Shirkers in Britain will soon be scarce—(cheers)—in any claes and :n every clatst;, and I think you will find that t nnh- will they be scarce but that during the day time they will be bidin:; themselves like the badger, so that their neighbours shall cot see them. (Cheers).

|WOMEN FARM WORKERS I .——— GOVERNMENT TRAINING CENTRES TO I HELP THE AGRICULTURIST. I CARMARTHEN CONFERENCE A neeting of representatives of the Car- marthenshire Chamber of Agriculture and the Carmarthen Farmers' Co-opera- tive Society was held at The Mount, Car- marthen, on Saturday, for the purpose of conferring with Mr. D. J. Charles (Assis- tant Divisional Officer under the Board of Trade in connection with the Labour Exchanges and Unemployment Insur- ance), over the question of the shortage of farm labour, with particular reference to the provision of adequate labour for the harrest- The meeting was held in connection with an inquiry which is being conducted by the Board of Trade in order to ascer- tain the nature of the assistance farmers require, the conditions prevailing, and the nature cf the suhstitute labour, if any, ?hich farmers would be prepared to engage Lt lea?t on trial. Attention to the suggested employment of women on farm work was directed by the Board of Trade, who pointed out that it. is a labour of women, particularly those who have re- ceived some training, which it is thought will, to no lirtle extent, assist farmers in the absence of experienced male labour. Co-operation Needed. I Mr. John Hinds, M.P., presided, and impresed upon farmers the necessity of making their requirements known through the "questionaire" issued by the Board of Trade Labour Exchange De- partment. The Department, he eaid, was making strenuous efforts to assist farmers, and it was now for farmers to co-operate in order to secure the advantages which would be derived through the instrumen- tality of this Government Department. Dealing with the substitution of women labour for men, Mr. D. J. Charles pointed out that, in co-operation with the Board of Trade, the Board of Agriculture were training a large number of women at the university colleges of England, Scot- land and Wales for farming. These had been specially selected for their physique I' and their patriotism, and they wc-ro- per- forming' milking and other dairy work, and generally making themselves useful on farms. On the question of employment of soldiers on farms, Mr. Charles pro- mised that the Chamber of Agriculture would be advised immediately of the ar- rangements that would be made.

ALLEGED SPY STORY
ALLEGED SPY STORY EX-M.P, WHO HAD NO H SECRETS" TO SELL A STRING OF LIES Rather more than a fortnight ago we were supplied with a oopy of an American publication giving a long story by the man Tribarh. alias Lincoln. The whole yarn was such a transparent string j'' lies that we decided not to publish it. We notice, however, that other papers have given it prominence, with headings suggesting that the story was true. That. our estimate of the value of the story is t,h,)wn by the following, which appears in the Morning Post" lo-day ■.— Outwitted by the Authorities, A number of our cont-em pora rips have published long extracts from a talc whica Mr. Ignatius Timothy Tribich Lincoln, who was Rad-kal M-P. for Darlington from January to December, 19itV, has unfolded in the columns of the New York World." According to hi own confessions, Tribich, or Lincola, is a doable-dyed traitor, who under tho guii~e of assisting our own military and I raval authorities became a German spy and attempted to sell British secrets of l the utmoft importance, to the enemy. The case of Lincoln was investigated nearly a fortnight ago cn behalf of the Morning Po.t," and th Ealient facts of his career were ascertained. He him- sel' naively admits, while telling a sensational and apocryphal etory of what he almost accomplished," that he was completely outw-itted by tho Brftish authorities. But this is not the whole story. The British Government, in whose secret service he profesees to have been —as a spy on the Germans in the first instance—neve. in fact gave him any employment beyond fomi casual transla- tion work at the commencement of the war, never trusted him, and never paid Lim a penny of secret eervice money. No Secrets to Sell. It 16 the undoubted fact that in January last Lincoln was in a condition of desperate impeeunilxity. He had no eecrets to sell, and when he found that the British service had taken his full measure ho placed himself in com- routiicatiou with a certain establislunent in Rotterdam which is well-known to be the headquarters of the Secret Service of the German Government. At Rotterdam he was equally unsuccessful in his at- tempts to raise the wind," and to ho decided to go to the United States, where IiJ has been posing before German- Americans as an English ex-momber of Parliament, who was prepared to eell his adopted country in the interests of Kultur." How far he has succeeded in gulling these trans-Atlantic patriots is a moot point. At all events, ho has been able to collect some ready cash by com- municating his coafe&sioiifi" to the New York Woild." Tribich is an Austrian by birth. At the age of he visited Canada. Two years later he uma to England, v as ordained, and for oyer a year acted 3.3 curate in a ^entish village. In 1905 he iasigned his curacy to study "social and political work." and after becoming secretary to Mr. B. Seebohm Rowntree, assumed' ih* nanis or Jiincoln, ii-,id got lrmsslf naturalised as an Englishman. His return for Darlington, where he de- feated Mr. Pike Pease by 29 votes, was one o- the surprises of the General Eviction of January. 1910. He had an C(ee.Drrk and meteoric caroer of tpn months in Parliament, and did not offer himself as a candidate at the December election of 1.010. lie. was for (';om time a member of tl-e National Liberal Club, but little is known of him during the last four years l>evond« the fact that he is supposed to have dabbled ia "nuance" and to have had an interest in/ au oil company in Galicia.

THE NEXT GENERATION 1
THE NEXT GENERATION 1 HOW SWANSEA IS WATCHING INTEREST OF THE CHlia I A H DISGRACEfUL" SCARE ¡ How is the average Swansea mother and baby faring under war conditions, and are there more than usual of them to be cared for? These are questions wlikji, in view of the great, wastage of fine English manhood, and of the unjusti- fiable scare about "war babies" are of vital interest at the moment- And to them there cannot be other than satisfactory answers, according to Mrs. Horspool (of the Public Health Depart- ment. and hon. secretary of tho Mothers' and Babies' Welcome in Iligh-street, wan). than whom, it will bo admitted, there is no one in the borough more qualified to form an opinion. I "War jBabies" Scare. I I The absence of husbands in the Army, has not, in her view, led to greater neg- lect of children by mothers the infantile mortahtl ratg (which she regards as by no means bad), has not increased since the war commenced; and to illegitimate births, she is emphatic that there has been up to the present, nothing abnormal -aù she d&? not anticipate that there will be, regarding the "war babies? ecare as grossly exaggerated and disgraceful. Mrs. Horspool is, however, enthusiastic at the tremendous amount of work accom- plished by the Public Health Department and the Mothers/ and Babies' Welcome in supplying food and milk. The allow- ance difficulties at the outbreak of war l?d, she pays, to much real poverty, and but for these two sources of assistance a serious eituation would have developed in regard to the numbers of mothers and children. Since the larger allowances came into operation in April the assist- ance necessary has been constantly ite- creasing, and things now look so well that there is little to indicate that a war is waging.
I RAZORS FOR -THE TROOPS I
I RAZORS FOR THE TROOPS I The Master Cutlar's Appeal. I We have received the following letter from the Master Cutler:— Dear Sir,—Several appeals for razors for the troops have appeared in the papers from myself arising out of the request of the War Office that the Cutlers' Company should undertake this collectiou. I have recently received a letter from Lord Kitchener apprecia- ting the response which has been made to this appeal, aad requesting me to convey his thanks to the many donors j throughout the country who have so ¡ generously sent forward their razors, and I am writing this letter hoping it may be seen generally by the various I' donors. In my original appeal I expressed a hope that 100,000 razors would be forth- coming. and I am pleased to vty that I I up to the present 1 have received about I 70,000; 45,000 of which have been put in order and sent forward to the War Office for the troops, the remainder being in hand in the process of being -,?;s of be i -,ig set and repaired, aiid will be sect for- ward in the next few weeks. Lord Kitchener requests that, the ap- peal may be continued, and I feel confi- dent that it is quite possible, at any rate, to rear-h the, 100,000 originally asked for. The manufacturers of razors I, are doing all they can to meet the neces- sary need, but they have not yet over- I taken the great demand caiv-ed by the I large number of troops on active service and I make this further appeal believ- ¡ ing that thef-3 are stili large numbers of I spare razors available throughout the country, the possessor? of which will gladly give them for such a good pur- pose.Your;i faithfully.

' LOM HALMME'S VISITI
LOM HALMME'S VISIT I Suspicious Custodian and the English Statesman's Notes. Amsterdam, Vc"ische Zritung publishes the following amusing story from a correspondent about Lord Haldane. As I was passing through the IAthn Valley a few days ago I took the oppor- tunity to pay a visit to Wetzlar, the Worther town, and to have a look at all the old places which are consecrated to the memory of Goethe. At a late hour I sought out the tbroc-storeyed timbei- framed Lr-n^o in whiel) Ccunrilkr of Legation Jcrusalera, the pro typo of Werth«r, made an end to his life. The two little rooms have been as far as pos- sible restored in their original form, and are filled with souvenirs of Goethe, "VVerther, and Lotte. The female euftodian of the house, which now belongs to the town, actd as my guide, and endeavoured to give an arcount of things without showing any too great knowledge. Incidentally she told me that beforo war'broke out Lord Haldane had stayed in the room where we were. Another Englishman and a German professor accompanied him. Lord Haldane made a lot of notes on this very table/ she aid. poiating to a table top covered with names at which, according to her story, Jerusalem used to bit. writ-ing with Goethe. I asked her what all these notos of Lord Haldane's were about. She replied eadl,v, Of course, he w&s here spying.' I shook my head incredulously, and asked her whether she really thought the British Minister had any hostile inten- tions, such as au air raid on the "VVerther house. Vtith such a man as that one can't know/ she answered, shrugging her shoulders. From another quarter I learned, by the way, that Lord Haldatie on the occasion of that visit gave 8, sub- stantial sum to the upkeep of the Goethe, memorials, especially the Lotte house. In this respect the people of "Wetzlar might learn from the enE-w., the condition of the Goethe Fountain must- be described as leaving much to be desired.—Renter.

The Children's Food in War Time Growing children simply must have fish because it contains certain elements lacking in other foods. Now that other fish is so dear, give the children Skipper (Norwegian) Sardines, which contain the phosphates for growing brains, and pure olive oil to build tissue and nerve. There is a great run upon this fine, nourishing, economical food. We are selling all we can get. But all good grocers hold a stock. .&_rus (Norwegian) Asgus Watson & Co., NRWcxsTLE-o\-Tvj(it.
