. PEERS PERSIST ! I ———-!
PEERS PERSIST ———- GOVERNMENT DEFEATED IN THE HOUSE OF LORDS. PENSIONS' BILL HELD UP I The first defeat of the Coalition waS| sustained on Monday in the House ot I Lords, which insisted, in defiance of Lord Lansdowne's earnest appeal, in shelving I till after the rece? the Naval and Mili- tary Pensions Bill. One of the effects <? the postponement is that: for 8ix or seven weeks, and probably longer, there will be provision, available for supplementing the pensions of widows, orphans, and disabled men. Lord Crewe, on behalf of the Govern- ment, had offered to place on the I-tatii- tory Committee two representatives of the Soldiers' and Sailors' Families Associa- tion and two representatives of the Sol- diers* and Sailors' Help Society; and to provide that in appointing local com- mittees rflgprd should be had to the repre- sentatives of societies who had hitherto undertaken the' duties prescribed by the Bill. "Serious Misfortune." I These concessions, however, failed to satisfy the critics of the Bill, aud Lord Balfour moved the postponement. Lord St. Aldwyn complained that he Bill set up an entirely new department inrolvinr considerable expenditure Oil which no check was provided. Lord Lansdowne declared that it would be a serious misfortune if the Bill were laid aside for fiix or seven weeks or even longer. Lord Midleton, however, persistent that it was necessary to recast the Bill, to divide the temporary from the permanent, to maintain the voluntary system of workers, end not squeeze it out by n Government system of wor?prs. They whed to discu&s its entirely n?w financial basis. I Protests in Commons. I The action of the Peers formed the sub- ject of dis ussion in the House of Commons on Monday, when, on the motion for thp adjournment of the House, Mr. Hogge inquired what course the Government intended to take, in view of the postponement, of the measure, until after the recess. Were the Government going to take the action of the Lords lying down? Were they making arrange- ments to override thia vote, or did they intend Jb resign? Protests against the action of the House of Lords were made by Mr. J. Samuel, Mr. Pratt, and Mr. Anderson- The latter 6aid that Parliament, should be kept, sitting as long as necessary to get this Act. settled in the interests of the soldiers and sai lors and their dependents. Mr. Pringle aid the defeat of the Government in the House of Lords would be, misrepresented in Germany and neutral countries, and this raised a e er kms situation. Mr. Ouiland paid he could only pro- mise to convey to the Prime Minister the views of members. Sir Arthur Markham said it would be a -I of tli*- ifr sf, if the Government decided to adiourn the House on Wednesday after what had happened. Mr. A. Williams protested against the action of certain member*, who turned everything into an attack upon the Government. It made onp think that. their object was to bring about a Con- stitutional crisis. Shortened Lords' Recess. Ic is understood that in order to shorten the delay in passing the War Pension-3 Bill an amendment will be pro- posed in the House of Lords when tll(, adjournment is moved, substituting four weeks for six weeks as the length of the recess.

GERMANS THROWN BACK
GERMANS THROWN BACK SHORT STAY ACROSS I THE NAREV. BATTLE OF THE BUG CONTINUES WITH GREAT INTENSITY I ENEMY MAKING SMALL HEADWAY I Despite the bombastic, claims of the Germans. it is evident, that their ad- vance on the Eastern front is only as rapid as the Russians, permit. la the Baltic provinces the Russian tactics have disconcerted the enemy's plans. and now that. the Germans have advanced as far as is considered safe, the Russian fleet has come into action and assisted tho army in driving the invaders back. More important, is the news from the River Narev. where the Germans, after having effected a crossing, have been thrown back at, the most vital points. The battle on the Bug is continuing "with great intensity, and the enemy's main efforts are being .directed to a de- cisive verdict in this .section. lie has not achieved any marked success as yet. Hie ii-iisslaii Fleet in the Black Sea are doing excellent, work in the way of inter- cepting coal f-upplies. and making trans- port difficult. Forty Turkish sailing ships laden with coal have been sunk recently. Petrograd, Monday (received to-day) The following communique was issued thi5 evening by the Headquarters Staff: In the direction of Tukum, towards Chick, the enemy's offensive, which be- fgan on Saturday, was repu!s(?d with the assistance of the guns of our ships. Between the Drina and the Niemen the enemy approached the Ponevirj-Keidany front, on the road to KoniO. from the •south-west. there has been some fighting on the Narev. The enemy -continues unsuccessfully to attack our positions on the Pissa River near the village of Sinvatki. South of Rogany, after a very cfilli- born encounter with Germans who had ,crossed the Narev, we threw them back in the region of the mouth of the Oge. Ac- far as the village south-east of Ful- tusk the enemy's attacks oil the River Prutli were repulsed. Small engagements have begun with the advanced defences of Novo Grov- gievsk. 011 the left of the Vistula enemy at- tacks on the advance works of Ivaugorod were repulsed with success. Between the Vistula and.Vieprz an ar- tillery duel continues. Between the Vieprz and the Bug the battle continues with great intensity. On July 2ith the enemy delivered attaek along the whole front with the exception of the immediate region of Vieprz. North of Grubeehoff the enemy de- livered a very energetic attack with strong forces..Nevertheless o-r troops repulsed almost, all attacks of the enemy, and delivered successful counter-attacks with the exception of a, few village. which pass from hand to hand. 1 hero is no change on this front. There has been no fighting on the Bug, Zlota, Lina. or Dniester. In the Black Sea on Sunday our tor- pedo boats, operating in the coal regions, destioved forty sailing ships laden with coal, and destroyed a new coal shaft and suspension bridge. FORMIDABLE OBSTACLES. I Germans Cross Narev by Means of I Pontoons. TVtrograd. Monday. — The enemy crossed the. Narev nejr the confluence (f the Orjitoa- He doubtless floated pon- toons down one or other of th* leaser tributaries in bis possession. The wo* ing was a lso facilitated by an islet, situated in the middle of the river. On tlipart of the left bank of tho Narev there are extensive for<tts inter- sected by streams, and it. is hopeu that the Russian successes on fie north bank of Dniester in similar ./mditione will be repeated on i'h& Narev, but. it is pointed out. that even if the enemy gains a firm. footing across tlie Narev lie is still con- fronted with sixteen miles of practically! roadless country before he reaches the Bug, which is a much more formidable obstacle than Ihe Narev. In fact, the fate of Warsaw depends no o:i the, Narev, bat on tbe Bug. As th-2 crow flies the enemy on t]i<? Narev are twenty-four miles from the Warsaw-Petrograd main line. A German aeroplane has dropped bombs <? JVaraw in a vain attempt to d?c?4,tro-r? the bridge over the Vistula- There were g<\?'rat cas?!alt]<?? amon? r'ivihan?. Fragments of one bomb struck a tramcar, but only two of the passengers were in- jured. THE SHAVLI CAMPAIGN. Russian Manoeuvre Confuses the Enemy. Petrograd. Monday.—Tlie pussian re- fusal to accept battle in the Shavli region ha,, apparently upset General BUPIOW'S calculations, which were based, oil forcing an issue on the Shavli front, whereby hfi hoped to co-operate with tlie i German activities on the Narev and be- tween the Bug and the Vistula by com- pelling the Russians to divert their re- serves northwards. ^Instead of tins the Russians calmlyj waited till Von Buelow completed bi, preparations to outflank our positions,. and only when the further advance of the enemy eastward threatened to become dangerous did the Russians swiftly retire to Poneviezh. Thanks to this manoeuvre Red the presence of Russian forces on Ongerliian flanks in the Riga, Mitau, and Kovno regions, the existing German strength wasj insufficient, to permit a continued advance] eastwards without powerful reinforce- ments, which can only be obtained at the expense of other -fronts. Honce it. is unlikely that the Germans in Courland will independently attempt eerious operations. The enemy's position on the Narev front, is not wholly enviable. —" Times Telegram. GERMANS "SLOWLY ADVANCING." i ,v.-Tlie official com- Amsterdam. Monday.—The official com- munique, published in Berlin to-day. sa ys:— In the western theatre of war there have been no important. events on the eiatire front. In the eastern theatre of war, north of the Niemen, the army of General Buelow has reached the district of Poswol and Poniewitz. Wherever the enemy offered resistance he was beaten. We captured over 1,000 prisoners. On the Narew front our troops have forced a crossing also above Ostrolenka. Belan- Ostrolenka cmr troops are slowly pnshing the enemy back towards the Bug. The Russians are offering an obstinate re- sistance here. We captured some thou- sand Russians and over 40 machine guns. Towards the north-west front of the fortifications. the gronp of Novo Georgievsk and Warsaw, our troops are advancing. In the south-eastern theatre of war, north of the line Wojslawice (south of Cholm). Grubieszow (on the Bug). Ger- man troops in recent fighting have pushed the enemy further hack. Yester- day we captured 11 officers and 1,457 men and 11 machine guns. Otherwise the situation west of the Vistula, and of the allied armies under Von Mackensen is unchanged.

AS COOD AS A HOLIDAY I
AS COOD AS A HOLIDAY I The main object of a holiday is to gain renewed energy for another year's work, so that one may return with sound I nerves and a clear brain, full of vigour and ready for business again. Unfor- tunately, that object is not always attained. It all depends on the state of your blood. If your blood has become impoverished or impure flip holiday is probably too brief for you to obtain proper benefit. Everybody should start a holiday in reasonable health, though veiy few people ca.u claim to be free from the dregs of some serious ailment, which has' drained the blood of its natural strength. That is why flie *v feel fagged out., brain weary and incapable of much exertion. Do not wait for a holiday, but. begin now to build up your blood with a true tonic-, and so invigorate and refresh your system. Nothing is more valuable for this purpose than Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Over and over again they bave been proved to be as good as a holiday to jaded men and women. If you can- not take a holiday, the value of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills is even greater, for these blood making pills ma.ke good the waste caused by illr.ess and the wea.r and tear of life. Any dealer can supply you with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, but study your health, and decline all sub sti'tTitos.

STABBING AFFRAY I ——-—— Serious Charge Against a Pembrey Labourer. I A bhl bbing affray at. Pembrey had a sequel at LI a nelly on Monday, when William Parrott, a labourer,, employed it the Pembrey Explosives Works, was charged with wounding Martin Quinnlan, who lies at the. Llanelly Workhouse In- firmary in a serious condition. Mr. T. R. Ludford, who appeared for the prosecution, said the defendant lodged at Mrs. Morley's hut at IVmbrey, and the injured man. also lived there. About 10 p.m. on Saturday, Parrott came in with some food, and was very abusive, seeming to be in a very quarrelsome I mood. A struggle ensued between the two j men, and Pa.rroH. by using a knife, in- nict?d very scrjous wounds, atabbintf ?Quinnl,,in fen'fal times. According b Ih" Williams it would be many weeks before the man was out of danger. P.C.

A large "house" en joyed it as much as a tcnir. last, evenin?." and the theatre echoedNwith irrp- pressible laughter.

Mr. George Marriott. jun., was all that could be desired. Others of a. strong company who should be specially mentioned are Miss Valerie Win- gate (Sylvia Rayleigh), Mr Drew Mackin- tosh (the Squire). Miss Annie Rtalman (Mrs. Watson, the doctor's sister), and Miss Elsie Dane CMr", Yibart, the town gossip). )1r. Harold Montagu (from the Palace Theatre. London) amused the house with his smart humorous pianologues as a prelude to the production. THE EMPIRE. I It would be dififcult to point t.o a more funny and humorous revue than "Merry Moments," staged at the Swansea. Eihpire this iveeli. From beginnin.er to end it is brimful of humour, which is delightfully fresh, and tliero are topical that get there at once. There arc five scenes, each of them cleverly conceived, and the caste ia an pil- mirable one. To deal as one would like to which the piece in this brief notice would be impossible, and it is difficult to apportion the praise. Marriott Edgar and Hal Jon63 contribute much of the fun, and their little scena, The Reciter" and the episode of the "Swish Wish," sent the audience into roars of laughter. Then there was the charming duet between Beatrice Boarer and Walter Williams, "Any Time, Any Place," a little composition which has so quaint a "time" to tset fond hearts beating faster. The song about Sister Susie has had many sequels, but none more cleverly conglomerated than "I Saw Six Short Soldiers," sung by Mar- riot-t Edgar, and taken up with disastrous results by the audience. Walter Williams, with a new eong, Kitchener," evoked great applause, and this song war, probably the beat received. The fun throughout is fast and furious, and the chorus is a really ex- cellent one. Jfora, Stockelle, a charming artiste, gets through a great deal of work, and her efforts were enthusiastically ap- plauded. The augmented orchestra, under the direction of Mr Frank Seddon, had much to do with the eUCCES6 of the first per- formance. There are three variety turns on the pro- gramme, each of them excellent. By Reys, the Irish contralto, gave a superb rendering of The Wolf," in response to the call for an encore. ina,-h and Noel, favourites locally, were as funny as ever; and Jack Thomas, full of mirth, completed the pro- gramme. THE PICTURE HOUSE. I Patrons of the Picture 11-nii" have « pro- gramme of exceptional merit presented to- them thifi week. The adaptation of Bita's famous drama. "1514," tops the bill, and' the remarkable and soul-stirring story can- not but. create interest. It would be diffi- cult here to do justice to the plot; oue can only emphasise the merit. of the film. Charlie Chaplin is in great demand about, now, and Jthe Picture Houae have him this week in Charlie's Elopement," which nee^esg to say, evokes roars of laughter. The OuUa,w't', Bride," a Selig production. was intensely dramatic, and kept, the raudicnce spell-bound for nearly half-an- hour. "The Floating Peril" was a fine working diagram showing the various mechanical device necessary for the ex- plosion of sea mines. The Stage Coach Driver and the Girl." a typical Western drama, thrilled the audience. The daring feats on horseback and the many tirrht- corners in which the hero finds himself are characteristic of the film. The "^rofes-sor's Nightmare," a Vitograph comedy, completed an excellent programme. CASTLE CINEMA. There is a "beautiful series of pictorial dramas at the Castle Cinema for the first three afternoons and evenings of this week. The star film is entitled "The Stolen Birth- right," :1 thrillingly performed story of Western life, in which several of America's famous film actors and actresses appear. The sccnery is of the most charming de- scription. and .the story from start to finish of the most enthralling c haracter. A fine Vita graph production, "Her Gethsemane," is a drama, that will not fail to please and wiu general interest. J.t is a feature film of remarkable clearness. Dash and go is represented in Wild West Love," in which many daring feats of horsemanship are witnessed. In the comic line there are several subjects which create roars of hearty laughter, one of them, entitled "The World's Worst Wizard." being of a topical rhata. -?r, ahowin?- h?- rhara/'ier, showing how the Allies beat, "Big I Willie's" c,iijiiring tricks. Pathe's "Ani- mated Gazette" is quite up to date, and po*- sossefi a. local interest in its fife-like pictures of Mr. Jiloyd George and thp other Cabinet Ministers who met the miners at Cardiff during the recent coal strike. For the lat- tpr part, of the week Charles Chaplin, in his funniest film, is premised. THE ELYSIUM. I The pa -of the Elyinm who witnessed a few weeks ago "The Prisoner of Zcnda" should not fail to M'e Rupert of Hcntaau'' lhb w?):, a thriiliag picture by "The Fa- mous Players Co. which has been filmed in conjunction with it.

The play, which is ?he "ork cf Anthony Hope, i6 beau- tifuUy filmed, and the double acting cf the King is wonderful. There are a number cf exciting icvoh'cr and sword due!s. "?'ho j is She?" is ''1, very lnughable comic, with r many comrlications. Gaumont's Graphic thia week presents some fine new? films, and there are also two other interesting films on the programme. For Thursday. Friday, and Saturday "Charlie, tli5 Tramp" will be seen. There is hardly any need to mention the principal actor. THE CARLTON. I The average picture theatre pe.troll de- lights in a good detective drama, one with a thrill and with what, is commonly cailed some punch" in H, «pd managers who occasionally prcvide -thit; cla,s of film are nearly aiwayS rewarded by the houaes The Carlton is eure to do well ovei- th4'. screening of The Conspiracy." which is the top of the bill a.t the popular Oxford. street hall this week. It's full of eicjfe- ment, and original, eay the management, and that, description aptly suits the produc- tion. The one and only "Charlie" is in ?rcat. demand. There il abeolnt?ly no doubt about it. think the management, as Chap- ?lio'e funay farce, "Charlie'6 Elopement" makes its appearance for the second time I at, the Carlton. The shuffler's antics are to be seen and not, read aboiri, yet it is hard to misci the opportunity of passing comment on the mirth-provoking idiosyncracies -of the prime favourite. With a Revolver and a Maek She Won a, Husband has a lengthy title which covers an exceedingly funny farce. There are several oiher good pictures, including She Couldn't Explain," "Phoney Cannibal." "The Rustle of a Skirt," and Pother Gazette." A big pro- duction. Bidgway of M.ontana, is an- nounced for Thursday next. The picture- tee-sl" are very popular. MUMBLES PIER.. I This week at. the Mumbles Pier concert pavilion, Mr. C. Powell Eastbury presents! t.be Playmakere." The performance they gave on Monday night certainly stamps them as an up-to-date company. Miss Mar. jorie Bowyer rendered a few contralto solos with plea/sing eff-act. She also gave two violin solos, for which she was loudly ap- plauded. Miss Phyllis Whitney sang and dane.e.d to the, delight of all. Mise Manda rind laker was a very warm favourite. She can sing and dance with a relish, her chief item being a Dutch dance. Hr. Harry Bar- rett gave in fine style e, humorous song, "The Ideal Home," and Mr. C. Powell Eas. bury, a baritone and monologist of no Te-an ability, gave several items. The comedian is Mr. Harry P. Hayward. who create much laughter, especially when seated at the piano. Miss Leonine Lascelles was at the piano. A pleasing feature in the pro- gramme was their burlesque "The Barome'er."

I WATCHING THE SHELL -
WATCHING THE SHELL How a Neath Soldier Was Wounded. (Passed by Censor), Corporal E. Smith, of Neath, who is serving with the Royal Naval Division at th? Dardanelles, in an account of ex- perience. says they disemharked at Port Said and encamped just behind the town in the desert. We were there for about a week. It wasn't, had, but the sand was a trial. especially on two days when we had sandstorms. These are like fogs, but i mlld1 more unpleasant. Even on ordinary days the sand gets into one's clothes and eyes and food and everything, so you can imagine what it is like in a storm. We have been actually under fire at last, and the noise is terVitic. Sleeping; in a hole in the ground is rather an ex- pience, and iO horribly cold, but with a little practice we shall soon be able to make ourselves comfortable. I am still interested in Neath, and like to hear all the news, but find, sad to say, that I am forgetting all about it. It seems years < since I left there! "I have actually been wounded, but. it is so slight that I am not to be sent back to England. It happened like this. I was sitting outside the dug-out one evening when suddenly tho screech of a shell was heard, followed immediately by its burst- ing overhead. Instead of ducking, I foolishly looked up and got a biff in the eye. Fortunately, the medical officer was just near, and so able to do me up at once. My sight is not affected at all, and the place will soon heal. The other even- i ng I nearly Jiad my foot run over by a wagon. of the things that makes the campaign much better than it might have hpn is the glorious weather. We have only had three days' rain iq two months."
