SOLDIERS' MARRIAGES BY LICENSE I ifr. David Caird, of the Liberation • Society, writes to the e&to-r: CompWnts have recently been made of difficulties experienced by eoldiens be- longing to Ncrnoonformist Churches who desire to be marlied before going abroad, or their return from the front on short leave. Marriage by oevtiScate in such coses being impossible owing to rruli t ary exigeocdes, there is no alternative to mar- riage by license, and the cost of a, license iasoed frOID the office of a superintendent registrar is felt to be exoessive. Fre- quently, indeed, the cost has been found to be prohibitive to those whose means are. limited. The usual (fees for a marriage by license amount to Z- 12& 1 but since October 12th last the Commissioners of Inland Revenue have heen authorised to remit to SoWiers below commissioned rank the ten shilling stamp luty cn each license, so that the fees now legally payable by Btatute are limited S2 2s. It is, however, vithin the power of registration officers to still furthar reduce these fees, and ewn to forego them altogether. Let the circumstances bp frankly stated to the Superintendent. Regastra4 afui the disculty will daaappear.

SERBIA THREATENED I I AUSTRO-CERMAN TROOPS MASSING ON I THE FRONTIER. THE BALKAN ENTEKTE I I Tp. is still no announcement of the I result of the Allies' efforts to establish a Balkan Entente. The tenor of the Allies' ,(Iiest for wor?, light reply to Bulgaria's request tor more light on the nature of their proposals being kept strictly secret.. Meanwhile further emphasis is iven by Sofia to the denial that au agreement has heen come to with Turkey. There can he no change, it is declared, in Bulgaria's policy, which is to recover the territory taken from her by the Treaty of Buch&- rest. If Serbia will restoretö her neigh- bour her lost lands in Macedonia then Bulgaria will march with the Allies. According to a Paris report friendly negotiations have been opened between Serbia and Bulgaria. Turin, Monday—A message, from Athens to the Stampa gtates that the King of the Hellenes received M. Venizelos for two hours at an interview, the details of which the ex-Minieter declined to discuss. All he would say was that the King asked him to come and see him again within three days.—Exchange. Germans Threaten Serbia. Rome, Monday.—The Tribuna prints a message from Salonica confirm- ing the reports that Austro-German troops are gathering on the Serbian frontier. The chief concentration is taking place near Orsova, at the junction of the Ser- bian and Rumanian frontiers. Rome., Monday.—A message from Salo- niea. states that it is estimated that 100.000 troops are already massed on the Serhian frontier, especially near Orsova. The fear is entertained that the German plan is to march through Serbia and Bul- garia to the relief of the Turks.—Ex- change. A Question of Hours.

WELSH TERRIER'S ADVENTURE I Two Days and Nights in Underground Tube. The adventures of a little brown W-eleh terrier named Jim. which got lost in the tunnels of the District Railway, have caused surprise among the officials of the "liDe. The dog wandered a way from its owner about 11 o'clock on Friday night, and was next heard howling by the eido of a live rail. According -to his owner, Jim, mad with terror, tore off into the blackness of the tunnel leading to High-street, Kensing- ton." Later on workmen reported that Jim had been seen at High-street, but lie was in no mood to stop. Messages were telephoned to other stations, and he was next seen at Gloucester-road, speeding through the station in front of a non-stop tiain. The dog did not stop either, but his small size saved him, the train pass- ing without, hurting him. Ho repeated this performance at South Kensington, I afterwards visiting Sloane-square and Victoria, where he was reported running up and down the tunnels. After many escapes from trains and shocks from live rails, the dog was found, still in a tunnel, at midnight on Sunday —unhurt. Electricity evidently is life, for 'Jim's first act on reaching homo was to chase a cat half way down the street, proving that his advegature had left him none the worse."

THETMDEH'S CAREER Captain Von Muller Talks of His Exploits. Mr. Conrad Tlaiimann, a gentleman of Scotch birth, but German extraction, who has arrived in Australia after relfa-se from internment at Malta, in an interview, speaks interestingly of talks with Cap- tain von Muller, of the Emden. Miiller, a model of modesty, would, he- eays, often laugh whn h thought of the many times he bluffed bis pursuers, and particularly so when he told the story of how the British representative on a small island, ignorant of the state of war, I welcomed him and his eailorc, and treated them to wine and cigars Intercepted Wireless Messages. I The captain attributed his long cruise I to his good luck and to the valuable a. s- I sistance he received from intercepted wire- less messages He epoke of an instance when he was in the Bay of Bengal. There he picked up a wireless message, Have you seen the Emden?' from a merchant- man, to which he replied, Yes: here I am/ and followed np a little later by looting and sinking the inquirer." The captain said that at, first, he mistook the Sydney for a vessel of hi-s own stand- ing, and hp resolved to make a fight of it. but. as soon as he made out the Aus- tralian cruiser he knew that bis hour had come. He saw but one alternative to running away, and that was to approach the. Sydney and torpedo her. That he en- deavoured to do. but when he saw that Captain Glossop of the Sydney was not to be caught that way and retreated with him, keeping the Em den's guns outranged all the time, he whistled to the men on the island, indicating that danger was npar, and then made a dash for Direction Island, When he was taken on board the Sydney h° saw that what shots did get that vessel had made no impression on her. He denipd that he ever used false flags.

BlIRRYPORT'S ROLL OF HONOUR I The members of the Burryport Urban District Council have decided to have a Roll of Honour, on which the names of all pereons who have joined the colours will be inscribed—Territorial or lingular Armies, Navy or Naval Reserves. There has been great trouble in getting a list of all the Burryportians who are now serv- ing with the colours. The etxaflBerRtors who have so kindly volunteered for registration work, have so kindly pro- mised to enquire at each house they visit the full name and particulars as to regiment or Rhip of tho<e who are serving. When the list is completed the names of all, ir?Inding 'th? nam?s of thc?-e killed and vourd?d in action, will be inecrib?i on the Roll of Honour, and tjh?e w4l be at tjfcue free Libjury,.

WHAT CERMANY THINKS HYPSOTISEO NATION COIIVIHOED THAT VICTORY HAS ALREADY BEEN GAINED. I OFFICIAL DECEPTION Writing in the Daily Mail," Mr. Frederic W. Wile says:— A Dutchwoman who has resided in Ger- many fr.om the beginning of the war iintil last Friday, describes Germany as a na-tion of hypnotised men.' women, and children, blinded by the eûnvichon that. the war is won and is being continued only in order to make the Kaiser's victory absolute, crushing, and irretrievable. Tho Germans, she says, have been brought to this state of mental intoxica- tion by the most extraordinary methods of official suppression and deception. The truth is told them only when it is palat- a b le. German Beliefs. Her observa tions may be summarised as f.ollows Germans think: 1. That Russia is finished," and that as soon a.s Hindenbnrg relea-ses a, million or so of his conquering heroes from the east they will be transferred to the west and a crushing blow theoo. he delivered 1 against, the French and the British. 2. That a new burning gas, invented By the well-known Pintsch Company, of Berlin, which produces a blaze covering an area of 110 square feet and beneath which no living thing can survive, will biast. a way through the Aliied lines barring the way to Calais and PariR. 3. That, although the war is a year old and neither Zeppelins nor submarines have accompli&liod all that was hoped, they have nev&rthelew effectively "terri- fied Loudon, 8.11d wrooked" British sea. commerce. 4. That England can do and is doing nothing, in a military sense, and that her French and Russian Allies, realising British "Ünpotenoo," are on the verge of internecine strife with her. 5. That, having kept the British Navy from German ports and from delivering j an attack on the German Fleet, and having driven the invading armies from practically every inch of German- Austrian soil, while occupying tens of thousands of square miles" of enemy territory. Germany has won the war," and nothing can now wrest viotory from her. What They are Not Told. Of course, the German masses ore not permitted to know that they have lost:- 1. The bulk of thffirColonial Empire of 1.(?7,000 eq?re miles. 2. 'J?eir tmtiro or?r-sea. commerce. 3. The use of their great merchant marine. 4. Hamburg and Bremen as ports. 5. At least 2,500,000 officers and men in killed, wounded, and captured.

BOY LABOUR ■ ■" ■ ■! ■ — Board of Education Circular to Local Authorities. So far the Welsh Board of Education have not considered it necessary to take steps in regard to the employment of boy labour in mines. Our London representative was informed on Monday by Mr. A. T. Da vies, the see- retaxy of the department, that as the law in regard to employing hoys of school age was not being broken, the department baci had no cause to take action. Mr. Da vies, however, emphasised the contents of a letter eent by the Board of Education to the local education auth- orities which advises that unices it is worth the while of the employer to pay something substantial for the services of tho boys, their services could not be of substantial value to the oountry. and that in the interests of the boy and of the country as a whole he had better be at school.

GLASGOW STRIKERS FINED A third general munitions tribunal was held in Glasgow yesterday, when 30 holders on employed by Messrs. Lobnitz and Co., Limited, shipbuilders, were charged with taking part in strike. It was alleged that on July 13 the holders on dema.nded an increase of a shilling a day. The shipyard managar waa absent from the. yard on business and the foreman riveter was not competent to deal with an application of this kind. In his absence, as the increase was not con- ceded, the men left the works at. midday on Saturday and did not. resume until the morning of Tuesday, August 3. although they were told the country needed the ship they were working at, and could not get that particular class of vessel too soon All the men who appeored-28-wpr4, found guilty and fined 5s. each, with the alternative of five days' imprisonment.

HOW I CURED MY CORNS IN SEVEN DAYS. "I now know the delight of being frea from corns and foot troubles, and this for the first time in 20 years, and all through a chance acquaintance. I was a cripple, and the change is wonderful. I want every reader of the Cambria Daily Leader to know of it. I was advised to soak the feet for ten minutes in a foot bath of hot water in which was dissolved a Joyped Foot Shampoo Powder, cost- ing 2d., then to dry the feet well, ar.d paint on the corns with a little brush pro,ide.d a little Joyped/ This I did according to instructions given with the application, and when I soaked the feet- after a week I was able to lift out all mr, corns easily- All the hard skin peeled off, the burning and the swelling ceased, and my feet were like new."

COWER CROPS i RICH HARVEST IN DANGER OF BEING SPOILED. J WEATHER WANTED I F!?E WEAKER WAffIED Thf Gower peninsula i* filled with holi- day makers, hut the question of their 1 entertainment is not the main topic of i conversation. Visitors and residents alike j arc chiefly concerned with the success of the harvest, realising its supreme import- ance to the district. The inclement weather has had a detri- mental efred upon the crops, and at the moment of writing the outlook is far from favourable. The hayfieids have been cut for several weeks, but the persistent rain has made it impossible to gather in the hay, and unless the weather clears im- mediately it will be spoiled. The corn is in splendid condition, but here again the weather is interfering with the success of the harvest, the heavy grains being beaten down by the rain. As a consequence the state of the fields is deplorable. On Monday the clearing away of the clouds aroused hopes, but on Tuesday the skies were again what Mr. Lloyd George would describe as mottled," and nothing could be done. One week of fine weather would enable the farinere, to do all that is necessary, and this boon is now ardently desired.

TRICKING THE TRAVELLERS I Germans Arrest Enemy Pas- sangers for Switzerland. Geneva, Monday.—An Englishman and several travellers belonging to the nations of our allies have recently been arrested at Constance and interned by the German authorities under curious circumstances. To travel by train from Schaffhouse to Romanshorn or any other Swiss port. on Lake Constance the shortest and quickest route ii by way of Constance, which is in Germany and forms in this region the apex of the railway triangle. Many travellers forget the, fact, that the train enters German territory at Con- stance an emerges again on Swiss soil, but. in th" meantime they are thoroughly searched and examined by the authori- ties at, Constance, where the German police enter the trains. The Swiss are al- lowed to pass on., but men of enemy races who are of militarr age are arrested every week, much to their surprise, as thev bel tbe-v are still in Swi tzerland. The Swí:, railrav authorities hare now issued special notices to foreigners warning them of ibis riek.

COAL FOB oiSTAHTimE — — New Turkish Railway Near- ing Completion, Sofia, August. 5 (delayed).—With refer- ence to the sinking by a British sub- marine of the MahsuAseh Company's steamer Bigba (not Bisga. as originally reported), this feat occurred about July 6, and does not refer to the Admiralty statement which announced that on May 27 his Majesty's submarine Ell had sunk three vessels and had discharged a tor- pedo at a transport lying alongside the Arsenal at Constantinople. According to private advices from Con- st&ntinople received on August 3. sup- plies of coal still seem to be arriving in the Bosphorus. and it is reported that the railway between Zungouldak and lsmidt is being actively pushed forward. It is believed that the line will be completed in about a fortnight. The City of Constantinople is now guarded by police, who are all men be- tween fifty and sixty years of age. all the gendarmes having been sent to the front. There has been much depression among the Turks during the past wcek.Reiiter,

I WILL GERMANY REPLY? America's Lusitania Note as Yet Unanswered. wasi,init,on. Monday. Germany's failure U11 to the present to make arty reply toO President Wilson's laat iNote re- garding the Luaitania outrage and the safety, of American citizens on the high seas is giving some concern to the Administration. It is feared that the German Government does not. propose to make any reply, and this attitude was foreshadowed recently in an interview with an official in Berlin. The State Department has in the past ferw days' communicated with Mr. Ger- ard, th American Ambassador in Berlin, and he has replied ihat he hM received no intimation, either officially or 1U). officially, of Germany's intentions. It. is not known what Washington will do in ease of continued silence on the part of Germany. In the event of Germany's deliberately ignoring the subject it is possible that the American Government will instruct Mr. Gerard to inform Germany that the Dnitro States stands absolutely by th« terms of the last Note, and will be forced to take unfriendly notice of any further act of violence by German submarines against American lives. The true answer, however, to Germany's silence may undoubtedly be fonad i" the increased, activity in the navy yards and arsenals of this country, and in tha determination of the Government to increase the fighting forces both of the Army and the Navy. Preparations are cp,T-ta,inl- going forward here for such eventualities as those responsible for America's honour and the safety of her citizens anticipate.

I LABOUR TROUBLES 11 AMERICA New York, Monday .—The concessions which have been granted to the workmen employed in factories carrying out the numerous orders for munitions of war from abroad have caused some difficulties in the labour market, especially in New England. The trade unions of the New England Stages have now made a demand upon all employers for an eight-hour day which was granted to the workmen at the Remington factory in Connecticut. This demand has been made regardless of war work, and embraces factories of all kinds. Not only is an eight-hour^aer demanded, but pay at the rate of time and a half for all overtime. The unions threaten to call the men out on strike if these demands are not granted. They propose to take advantage of the great flood of work in America and the urgent demand for labour.

BLACKS ril' 'i H'S DrCATH Flying Piece of Steel Pene- trated His Thigh. Following upon an accident on July 29th at the Berthlwydd Colliery, a black- smith named Harry James Hewlett, a married man. of The Hollies, Cefn Stylle, died at the Swansea Hospital on Saturday last. The inquest was held at the Coroner's Court, Swansea, on Tuesday. I Mrs. Lizzie Ilowlett, the widow, said aftpf the accident her husband walked home without assistance. Beferring to the accident, he told her that he had a piece of steel or iron in him." and he showed a wound on the right thigh. The next day (Friday) he went to work, re- turning home later than usual, and then complained that his leg wa* very painful. Coroner: You did nothing to it after he came home on Thursday or Friday ? Witness: I did not think it waz 60 6erious, sir. Continuing, Mrs. Howlett said she sent for Dr. Jones, of Gowerton. on Saturday, but the wound gradually got worse. On the following Thursday deceased wa*. re- moved to the Swansea HospitAl. Coroner: Did your h?band tell you? how the accident, happened when in con- versation with you at home? Wh-now: He did not give any details, EdT. He said a pieoe of atuel flew off into his thigh. In answer to the foreman, witness said when her husband came from the works he had had his wound bandaged.

I CERiAÑSEXT-MOVE j Not Likely to Send Troops From East to West. Petrograd, Monday.—The popularly accepted theory that the Germans will avail thmn selves of their eocceases in the Russian theatre lD order to hurl their forces against the Western front does not. find acceptance here annong well-informed military authorities, who point out. that it would be nacessary to return thither no fewer than twenty-three divisions, or fourteen corps, to appreciably affect the position in the West. Even if the Germans reach the line Brest-Kovno, the removal of such a force would weaken the enemy to such an ex- tant as to invite disaster. The Germans are really straining every nerve again in an endearour to win the maximum area possible before the autumn radns. Von Buktw's left flank, after its repuiee near Raga, changed its objective to the south-east; of Poneviezh in order actively to participate. in the operations against Kovno. while simul- taneously the armies of Von Macl-enaen and the Archduke Joseph Ferdinand, each from seven to eight corps strong, are concentrated on a front of only 30 odd miles between Bystrzyoa and the Bug. It is "undoubted that Balow's army has been enormously increased at the expense of the troops formerly on the left bank of the Vistula, where the enemy has appar- ently loft his weakest afrces. Thus a wide fhwik movement has been resumed with the object, of taking possession of the ter- ritory to the east of the Vistula.
