Kees was present on behalf of tho mili- tary authorities, Several objections were raised and sustained by Mr. K.ee<s, and every ease had a fair and impartial con- sideration. The following may be lee ted as a fair sample of the many and varied appeals- My Career is Gone." A school teacher asked for a postpone- ment, becauoe he wanted to repay his parents something for the sacrifices they had made "If I go now, my career is gone, and no prospects for the future." •' Don't talk 6uch rubbish," remarked the chairman.

H You must be willing to give up one of your boys," said the Chairman. It's not fair that your neighbour's sons should fight, and yours relieved. Which 60D would you prefer joining the colours?"

The first application was on behalf of a slaugbtermnn at a public slaughter-houte. Exemption was allowed, so long as he re- mained in his present employ. Cite <ip- plicant was asked to report if he left it. A father applied for exemption for his son. He had one son in the Army, and this was tho only one left. He a market gardener. The application vas assented to. I Tinplate Workers. A tinplate packer, the c4ilf, wage punier for a widowed mother over 60, was ex- empted during the life of his mother. The next case was that of a bundlcr who did not come under the new list of staned men. The Clerk -said they would have to dMl wirth him in the s{e way as with risers and shearers. The applicant faid the lad in question I was only 4ft. The Ci.er? said all they c<-n?d do was to refill the application, and all the lad had ? do was to present Inmseii. Prc-babh, he Vk~ll be rKfuspd. That tribunal must either grant a conditional exemption, or refuse applications, lie had received that morning a telephone message from Mr. Clement, the tinplate employers' secretary, saying that he had an appointmpnt with Mr. Cloud, ot the Labour Statistics De- partment, next Wednesday to discuss the whole question of tiMp?ai? w???er?. The I: tinplate manufacturers contended that risers a?d shearers had t? be trained, but he ?ho clerk) forwd that they cc?Id be trained in about two months, so that if they gave conditional exemption for twe months, an opportunity wonid be givon !to train otb?rs. Th"J haa no power to grant a condi- Tinplate Men's Case. A general discussion ensued on the j position of the tinplate men. In the course of it Colonel Pearson remarked that eome of the men were only working tbrsQ or four days a week. Mr. Matthew Griffiths remarked there were cases in which mills were working full time, and the removal of men would be a great hardship. Colonel Pear eon said it was not the duty of that Tribunal to decido what were reserved occupations. Mr. Griffiths replied that it was their duty to give everybody fair play. It would be folly to step the works. lIe suggested that all the tin shearers should be put back for six months. The Clerk pointed out that if they as s Tribunal thought it nec?gary t<t kect) £ he.se works going, they could take Mti0. but he thought t"P?plate masters 'eN' claiming a lot of :nen who could re-aiiy? be BparM. Mr. M. Griffiths said it was a direct hardship to take men awa.y from some works. Colonel Pearson It is a greater hard- ship to the men in the trenches not to have men come to relieve them. The Clerk here asked the applicant how long it would take to get boys trained as shearore. and he replied that, with a push, it can lie done in six weeks. Mr. Jones moved that cases be dealt with according to present instructions. Mr. M. Griffiths: That means that we can exempt. Clerk • On personal grounds only. Mr. M. J. Morgan moved that all un- starred tinplate workers be granted ex- emption for a month. The amendment was unanimously adopted. An application, was made on <)f a mill foreman, also on the personal j ground that he was the sole support of a widowed mother and two children. The! applicant said the man was absolutely [ responsible for the mill, and indispensable. This case was dealt with under the above resolution, and exempted for a month. In the meantime," said the chairman, something may come from London to star all these men." Six Months' Grace. I A clerk at a works applied for x(,D1P"! tion on the ground that he was the M?' support of a widowed mother, who wag illiterate, and if he left, the bushier would have to be suspended. Mr. Matthew Griffiths suggested exemp- tion for six months, and this was agreed to. Another sole support of his widowed mother, 64 years of age, who had before been put back twelve groups,. was x- empted for six months. Mr Rowe. Morrison, a tinplate employer who had several applications, remarked I that many men in steel trades were work- ing only eight hours when they jaight work twelve, as their duties were light. Some of the men were getting two much money, and therefore, only working four days instead of six. Mr M. Griffiths protested, and Mr Rowe replied that he meant they were getting more than was good for them, not that they were getting too much. A clerk in a roller-mill claimed exemp- tion on the ground that he supported his widowed mother. II. had a younger i brother, who was going to get married soon. Colonel Pearson; He can stop that. We want these men's services now in the trenches What about my pnsi-tion.P asked the applicant who was wishing to retain tho clerk. Colonel Pearson: W,/Il take you as well if you like. (Laughter.) This ease was exempted for a month under the resolution. II Another employer protested that if a man left him it would mean 50 mills iele. The Chairman said they could not dis- cuss the matter further. Ho afeo came under the resolution. The Co-op. Porter. The manager of a Co-operative iitoro wanted exemption for their porter. He Wid they had made inquiries in the dis- trict all round, but failed to get a nether man. They had a lot of carting to supply members, and besides the general do- livery of goads. Colonel Pearson suggested that thft duties of the man were to take parcels home, and that tM peoplo should fetch their own goods, or starve. The man was exempted for a month. One applicant, a member of the Tri- bunal, wanted to keep two valuable assistants in his grocery business. One of them, however, had not sent in his al). plication. The other was exempted. A ;-<ienco teacher pleaded that he had pupils whom he was training for matri- culation, educationa l appointments, and I university scholarships, and who would be examined in June. Exemption was granted fcr six months, and the saroe favour wa granted for a* student. Three of his brothers, who were eligible, had already joined the Army. Six months* exemption was also granted to a Swansea cabinet-maker, the only support of a widowed mother, 63 rears of age. He had also ;,n invalid sister, And his employer also desired to keep him. Father Fighting: Sorf Put Back. I Another lad Trho is conducting a business for his mother has his father in I the 6th Welsh. He was exempted for six months. There were several other conditional 1 6ix months' exemptions, and one or two i were totally exempted. 4

Paris, Nlied necd ay.['o-ztigb t official French communique says:— In the region of Verdun the German at- tack has developed, as had been foreseen, into a very important action, for which powerful preparation had been made. The battle continued to-day with grow- ing intensity, and was vigorously main- tained by our troops, w li-i inflif-t-d ex- tremely high losses on the enemy. Ceaseless bombardment with heavy shells, to which our artillery replied with equal violence, extended over a front of 40 kilometres (25 miles), from Malanoourt to the region in front of Etain. Attacks by German infantry in very large numbers, and oomprising troops from seven different aricy corps, followed ea.ch other in succession during the day between Brabant-sur-Mouse and Or nog. fOrnes is eight miles east of Brabant on-tho-Meuse and due south of Azarmes. mentioned in the German communique.] At the entrance to the viU?g? of Hau- mcnt the enemy, despite all his efforts, Iwas unable to dislodge tls from our posi- tion. ■ fn Cauree Wood, the greater part of which wp hold. our counter-attacks crushed the enemy's offensive. East of Caures Wood the Germans suc- ceeded in penetrating the Mavrille Wood, after a series of sanguinary attacks. North of Ornes enemy assaults on our ITerbebois line were stopped by our counter-attacks. There was no infantry action on the left (west) bank of the Meu.se nor be- tween Ornes and Fromezey. In Alsace yesterday, at the close of the day, the enerny attacked onr position south-east of the Carspach Wood, south- west of Altkirch.

The number of prisoners here has increased to eleven officers and 358 men. We also captured three machine-guns. On the heights of the Meu-se artillery encounters continue with undiminished violence. East of the Msn<? we attaclM enmv :p%itioM alocg the Line of the villages of I Scneenvoy? acd Azannes, which the eINny had consolidated during th? laet eighteen months with all the devices of tho science of fortification, in order to en- able him. to interfere with our communi- cation roads in the Western Woevre tg- t o I-. In our attack we penetrated the enemy positions along an estimated front of ten kilometres (six miks) a.nd an extreme depth of three kilometres (one and tliree- qi.arter miles). In addition to considerable losses, the enemy left over 3,000 prisoners and a con- siderable amount of war material, which has not yet been counted, in our hands.

I PORK THAT BECAME I SOAP. j A 1 SEQUEL TO Bia SEIZURE BY LOTOi CiiUirfV CUUiiGIL STATE DUE TO WAS CONDITIQHs A fine of £ 20 and ten guineas costs was imposed on Wednesday at the Tower Bridge Police Cosru on Armour and Co., Ltd., for having deposited at 10, Weston- street, Bermondeey, on December 17,rt. for iite purposes of sale, S25 barrels, 50 pun- ftheons, and 25 tierces of pork which were unsound and unlit. tor food. Defendants, I w bo were n'prentcd by Mr. R. D. iluir, •pleaded not guilty. Mr. Bodkin, who prosecuted for the Bermondeey Borough Council, faid the summons concerned 103 tons of pork which had been desposited at 10. Weston- street, a store belonging to the company. Following the finding of the pork, there was a meeting of the Health Committee of the Borough Council at which repre- sentatives of the company attended, and they stated that the condition of the pork was probably due to its having come from Ameiica in slow boats and without refrigerating apparatus, and that it had been put into brine—to use their own expression—" to save its life." which sig- nified that in their virw it was certainly in a doubtful condition. Finally Became Soap. I The perk bad rc-brined at Weston- street, and it was stated at the tHnc meeting of the Health Committee by the f firm's representatives that it ,3 oiearlv f not suitable for first-class or even good- clase trade, and that it was intended to be exported to the West Coast of Africa as trade pork" for the delectation of the natives there, who might be proof against what in England would be re- garded as injurious. After the pork had beoe condenuied by the magistrate tht Borough Council cold it for .t.566 for soap- making purposes. Some of the pork had evidently come from prize ships. Mr. Muir said the condition of rhe pork was due to the state of the iabour and the shipping market at the time. The firm had been in business in London for 20 years, and were connected with the famoui; packing house cf Armour and Co.. of Chicago, and so far as they were aware no unsound food had ever been allowed to pass from them to the public. The firm had also been affected by short- age of labour, eo that the meat was not properly sorted and not properly washed, nor was the brine changed as it ought to have been. Steps had been taken to en- sure that this should not happen again. victims of War Goncitions. George Lattimore Scott, sanitary in- spector, 6aid he went to the premises on the receipt of certain information, and j found what had been described. He suggested that the re-pickling was in- tended to conceal the condition of the meat. It was not a proper course to take, but tainted stuff could not be made good |j by putting it. into brine. For the defence, Henry Richard Kelly, superintendent at Massrs. Armour's wharf at Vine-street, bore out counsel's etatement regarding the. delay in ship- ping, the shortage of labour, and the j wrong handling of the pork. Mr. Cecil Chapman said the defendant company were resf>oneib!e for the acts of their employes. The hams arrived in a "'sweated" condition, and the employes! did not apparently clean and examine them properly before putting them in barrels for re*jickling. The firm, who had an excellent reputation, were victims of conditions which the war had produced. i r-
