LLANDILO. At Llandilo Rural District Council on Saturday, Mr. W. E. Richards presiding, the question of a water supply for bun- galows erected on the Black Mountain without the sanction of the Council was under discussion. Mr. R. Matthews, Llan- debie (the vice-chairman), said this was common land, and had been granted for the oommon good. It was decided that the water should be cut off. Reporting at the Guardians' meeting, the Clerk said he had precepts for a county rate at 2s. 8d. in the £ for the year. In addition, they had a special country rate for the Amman Valley County School. The overseers had the right to levy the rate on a portion of the parish, so they levied it on the whole- of Llandilo fawr. At Saturday's meeting of the Board of Guardians it was reported that the num- ber of vagrants during the fortnight was 42, against 78 in the corresponding period of last year. Inmates numbered 56, a de- crease of four. The Clerk reported on the visit of Mr. Hugh R. Williams, Local Government Board Inspector, who had suggested that some of the male inmates might be useful for agricultural purposes. Mr. Evan Davies said he had been told, but could not say whether it is correct, that they were about public-houses up to the evening. They were an eye-sore.— The Master said the inspector saw one of the inmates out. If he went out to work he got drunk, and no one would keep him. Dealing with casuals, the Master said they would work at the Waterworks from Tuesday to Friday, and then come to the House.—It was decided that the task should be increased.

11 GROUPS-" 47 to 56. I Suggestion to Men Up to 50 Years of Age. (Contacted.) Now the Government, has orrtained that every man up to the age of 40 years, 11 months, and 30 days must join the Army, it his become, ipso fa-cto, the duty of every man over that a.ge and incumbent upon himself that he should join the new Volun- teer Force. Swansea is quite large enough to raise two or three battalions of volun- teers within its own boundaries, and every man from 41 to 50 years of age should put to himself the question "Am I doing my chare to win the vTar?" There are many duties being performed by men in khaki in Swansea and district that oould be equally well performed by tha Volunteers if the latter were only made strong enough numerically to divide up the duties so that no willing ones should be put upon too harshlv. This would then zf- ie,%ot- the Regulars fc-r more important work. and thus be a cc ntributory factor towards I successfully ending the war earlier than otherwise. Every mall can spare. any two evenings a week for drill-even if it were only for his own constitution's sake, let. alone the British Oon«ti tuti rrn—Mid no amount of quibbling should be taken as inn excuse. With the callms up of the married men to group 41 a great number of will be created in too Volunteers, so it will be additionally necessary for recruits to be obtained from men over or under roeruit- able age if this force is to be kept at proper strength. Now the V.T.C. has beoome re cognised, the corps hrifl naturally become more popular, and therid should not be any difficulty in making the 3rd (Swansea) Bat- talion second to none. I» id up to those who arc already holders of the natty grey green uniform to attenl every possible parade, for a Blacker in uni- form is ten times worse tintn n slacker out of it. "Dead heads" on the booke must be jettisoned, their places filled- by enthusiasts, more serious work undertakers, regular troops relieved of their dtrti-er, in this coun- try, the expeditionary forces enlarged, the Huns driven out of Francs and Beigium, and a glorious peace declared before the end of 1946. Will you help?

POSTMEN IN COUNCIL. I Aid W. H. Miles, Swansea, presided over a well-attended meeting in connec- tion with the West Glamorgan and East Carmarthen branches of the Postmen's Federation. Mr. G. Elias was appointed the district delegate to attend the annual conference at Manchester. It was re- ported that notwithstanding -the depletion of staffs owing to the war. the Federation had made satisf actory progress during tiie year.

WELSH UNIVERSITY. I The Royal Commission on University Education in Wales held a further meet- ing on Saturday in London. The first stage of the Commissioners1 inquiry will be devoted to considerati-on of the infor- mation already availatJi concerning the work and organisation of the University of Wales and its colleges. The meetings for general deliberation will be held in London, but the Commissioners are con- vinced that, in a matter which is so olosoly bound up with the national in- terest and sentiment, it will be essential to conduct part of their inquiry in Wales itself. fi.

FAITH-NOT A FEUD MR. LLOYD CEORGE ON LIBERALISM nuot HUGHES' APPEAL After speaking at the Town Hall Assembly Rooms, Conway, on Saturday, Mr. Lloyd George went to the Castle Square and addressed an overflow meet- he is ing. Our business uow, he said, is to win the war. If we do not win the war, you will be surprised how little the feuds that have existed amongst us will matter. Liberalism is a faith and not a feud, and what we are concerned about are faith and liberty. To maintain that we must sink every thing-faeaion, differences, dis- putes: everything is to be subordinated to re-establishing the supremacy of the freedom of Europe and the world. Concluding, Mr. Lloyd George intro- duced Mr. Hughes, the Prime Minister of Australia, who is spending the week-end in the neighbourhood, and who motored over. He is an old friend of mine," t:aid Mr. Lloyd George, and his speeches have been ringing through Europe and have been a source of inspiration to the forces of the Allies. He and I are true Welshmen-shall I say young Welshmen, —(laughter and cheers)—working together in the same common cause for which we Welshmen have fought on those hills for centuries—the cauee of freedom/1 (Cheers.) MR. HUGHES' APPEAL. Mr. Hughes addressed the meeting at some length. Thoughout this great Empire, he said, we have seen, men sepa- rated by ten thousand miles of ocean rushing to the standard of Empire with one oommon impulse. Altlvough the war found us unready, we were now mustering our tremendous resources, and if we were to push them home to the vary bowels of our enemy we should certainly conquer, but victory wag dependent absolutely on organisation. Furthermore, we must make the final blow quickly, or the tide would turn. There is no hope for the world while the great Prussian military machine stands unchallenged. We must destroy it utrly. Time is the essence of the contract, and if we fail now to make our maximum effort, as surely as the Savour lives we shall go down to hell. I find the temper of the people of this country magnificent. Gradually we are mustering otir full force-s, and are putting on one side every- thing that stands between us and the achievement of our great purpose. (Cheers.) TRUST THE PEOPLE. I Mr. Lloyd George made his eagerly awaited speech on the military situation on Saturdav afternoon at Conway. There was a large attendance. Points from his speech are given below. The task we had in hand was the task of a nation as a whore. We must have national unity until we had a national triumph. To-day we had increased enormously not merely the output, but more im- portant, the capacity of pouring out muni- tions of war. Whatever compulsion might do in the future, it would never detract from our pride that we alone in the world had raised over three mil-lion men by volun- tary enterprise There was no indignity in compulsion. Compulsion was simply the will of the majority organised. You cannot run a war as you run a Sunday school picnic." The liberty of France meant the right of every man to derfend his land. We could not make the same contribu- tion in men as France, for we had to supply her with steel, coal, material for explosives, and transport. Among the 1,900.000 munition workers in this country, hardly 40 per oe&t. were inen of military age. I thought the necessity for compulsion arose last September. I still think so. A desire was felT. to give the voluntary sys- tem another trial, so we had the Derby scheme. The Hou-se of Commons have now de clared by an overwhelming majority in favour of compulsion. I am told I am no longer a Liberal because I have voted for it. It is because I am still a Liberal, fighting for the freedom of Europe, that I am unrepentant, and have been subject to a clouded discharge of poisonous gas. These things have been coming on for months clandestinely and surreptitiously I am glad the attack has now been openly made. This is a great war, and the fate of Europe, and perhaps that of the Empire is in the balance, and if any man believes the testimony of a person who publishes or invents a private conversation in order to malign a friend, if any man believes that I am capable in the midst of such terrible surroundings of making of a base, treacherous intrigue to advanee my own ends, let him believe it. (Loud cheers.) I seek neither his friendship nor his support. I am out for winning the war. (Cheers.) There were honest Liberals who said that thero had been differences between him and his chief. We have had dif- ferences, and what trae would I have been to him if I had always agreed with him. We want counsellors, not automatic ad- visers, not pelllly-in-the-sl.ot machines. A statesman's duty is to avoid war. but once in it, it is his duty to prosecute it eo that it will be ended as soon as possible. The Government should not only be resolute, but should appear reeolute- The spirit of the nation is the propeiiant of this Army. A doubting hand never yet struck a firm blow. I believe in this war is at stake the freedom, peace, and civilisation of the world, and I have -never been in doubt a/5 to the issne. To-day we have command of the mer, more completely than we have ever had it. We must reckon seriously the resources of the enemy, and marshall intelkigently our own.. The Central Powers are pooling all their resources. We had the meu--Im-thev too often had the method. Let us apply their methods to our means and we wiU win. I have no fear of the people. We are a fluggi-sh people, but no one ever mad* a mistake without suffering for it. I would trust the people entirely. I would tell them everything. There was nothing to conceal. (Cheers.) This is a great storm that is sweeping over the island of Europe, but on this night of terror you will find selfishness gradually has been shattered, and in the rent heart of the people you will find treasures, golden treasures of courage, steadfastness, endurance, devotion, and L.ith enduring to the end. (Loud cheenO Mr. Lloyd George spoke for fifty I minutes.

A Danish sea- iaian named Hans Knud Valdemar Eisen- ach. also cfiarged with deserting the ship Proven, was son t back to the vessel. "I had never been on a horse before said Thomas John Phillips (23), a collier, who was charged with riding a horse furiously on the Swansea Sands on April 25th. and cruelly ill-treating it.

I A Llangadock farmer named Thomas Davies, who was defended by Mr. W. A. Thomas, was summoned for selling milk deficient in butter fat, to the extent of 7 per cent. Mr. Hield, from the Town Clerk's office, prosecuted, and explained that the defendant sold milk under a verbal con- tract to Mr. W. H. George, of Swansea, the contract being to supply guaranteed pure, fresh, refrigerated milk with all its cream. On March 23rd two churns arrived, and analysis of a sample gave the result stated. The defendant had, said defending solicitor, been supplying milk to Mr. George for ten years. and this was the first complaint. On the date in question the milk, which was sent in to Swansea, had not been tampered with, and he at- tributed the deficiency to the fact that the cows had been turned out to grass, and thenelds at the time were so wet.— The magistrates were convinced that so far as the milk wa.% concerned there had been no tampering, and dismissed the case on payment of costs.

SWANSEA. I -?- I Kilvey wants a new curate. i'he Key. D. Lynne Davies, B.A., the former curate, has gone to Oxford to continue his studies. The restricted licensing hours under the Board of Control Regulations came into force in the whole of Wales and Mon- iuuuth"iro to-day. The Key. Matthews, Fabian's Bay. commenced his 3tith year of ministry there on Sunday. This is second only to the record of the Jtev. Oscar Snelling in Swansea, Lieut. Sclieepers, who played in the SSouth African three-quarter line on Satur- day. n a nephs.v of Paul I loos, the famous Springbok captain during the 1906 tour. Lieut. John Hodgens and his staff had i; busy time on Monday dealing with re- cruits for the Royal Naval Division, the I fetandard for which has now been relaxed. AThe Swansea Tramways Military Band, I under the leadership of Mr. W. Maimone, gave enjoyable concerts in the Mumb?<?.- H>ior Pavilion on Sunday afternoon and evening The South African footballers left Swans'a on Sunday afternoon. Just be- fore we train steamed out of the station they £ »ve their famous war cry, to the deligit of the crowd on the platform seeing then off. R- loth to leave and bid farewell to the Jrloiibles on Sunday night were a number '()t bona li-de.<> H that they lost the last and were compelled to walk rirough the pouring rain to iSwanseo. Wet • i.-ado and out! Gallantry came to grief at Swansea on Monday morning. While proceeding to iusiness on his cycle he doffed his hat to tome younf ladies. The release of the t?ndlc-bar caused a 6kid, but despite his trouble, the hero preserved a smile. The favourite walk with Swansea people -nowadays appears to be through the Vic- toria Park and then a promenade on the beach bridge, where the full effects of the eea-breeze can be enjoyed, in addition to splendid views of the bay and of the town. On Sunday afternoon the speaker at Wesley JiroUierliood was Mr. John Howell (headmaster Tenby Secondary Schools), who spoke ou the Demand of the Times/* Mr. A. Furelancl (chairman) a It!(} l'poke on the Ke^pontibility of Parentage to the Nation of To-morrow." Mr. W. Parnell and Miss Sarah Thomas were responsible for the mu&ical iteius. On being handed a cigarette case and match-box at the. Swansea. Olympic on Saturday night in recognition of ser- vices as timekeeper, Mr. W. Doberty said that he ooulcl not very well tell them that he had been taken by surprise; he knew all the time what was coming! This is a relief after the atock simulation of astonishment usual to such occasions. When Pte. Meyers, the biggest of the Scuth African forwards, injured his head at Swansea on Saturday, he was strongly advised to go off the field. Another man donned "tegs" in readiness to replace him, but Meyer, though looking dazed and groggy, kept going until the end. He had sustained slight concussion of the brain, and knew practically nothing about what was happening. At St. David's and St. Joseph's Catholic Churches, Swansea, on Sunday evening, there were the usual picturesque proces- sions in honour of the Blessed Virgin. In compliance with the decree of the Pope, the Catholics of Swansea observed Sunday as a general communion day for the cause of afflict eel Belgium, and at the evening service the Apostolic Blessing was given at both ch inches. The last of the series of winter concerts in connection with the Tipperary Club 'Wa. given on Saturday, vhe? the pro- gramme was provided by friends from (iors<iinon, whoo inciudd Madam Price! Jones, Miss G. Davies, Miss L. M. John, Mr. li. Walters, and Masters B. Richards and E. Evans. A recitation was given by Miss Elun-ed Williams, while Country Scenes" were performed by the Central Tiny Tots (under the direction of Miss U. Gear). The accompanist was Mi--s G. Davies, R.A.M. (A.G.). and the Rev. W. Wattkin Williams presided. Anniversary servicee were held at Soar, High-street, on Saturday and throughout Bunday, when the Rev. J. Vernon Lewis, B.A., B.D.. Liverpwl, and R. S. Rogers, B.A., Cdpel Gomer, -ofliciated. There were large congregations. The congrega- tional einging wa under the leadership of Mr. David Evans, the tunes being selected from the recent cynianfa ganu programme. Mr. Lewis congratulated the Pastor and the members on the prosperity of tlfceir cause, which appeared to him more flourishing than ever. The service this evening will commence at 7 o'clock, when the Rev. J. Vernon Lewis will officiate. At the Veetry meeting in connection I -with St. Nicholas (Seapien/s) Church, the curate-in-charge, the Rev. P. Mess I Weston, presided, in the absence of the! Vicar, the Rev. the Hon. W. Talbot Rice, | M.A. The accounts were presented by: the churchwardens and passed, ))king con- sidered very satisfactory.. The Vicar j-e-apjx>inted Mr. J. H. Thorn ]*son as his warden, and Mr. A. W. E. Williams was re-elected people's warden. The curate- in-charge remarked that tho naval ser- vices on Sunday mornings were w-ell at- tended, on an average 30 or 40 men being present. He also thanked the wardens, eidesrnan, organist and choirmaster (Mr. D. E. Davies) for their services. The meeting closed with a vote of thanks to the IteL P. Moss Weston for presiding. At the monthly meeting of the Mansel- (wn After-Care Committee, presided over by the Rev. G. Penar Griffiths, the ques- tion was raised as to what further help I could be given to the boys and girls under supervision, in addition to the periodic visits which the helpers at present pay I to the homes, it was decided that a sertes of three social gatherings be arranged for ihe winter of 1916-17, tho first to take place id October. At these gatherings it is pro- posed to provide the children with refresh- ments as veil aR entertainments in the form of musical programmes and lantern lectures. By this means it is hoped to get into closer touch with the children, and through then) with the parents, and there- by create a lasting impression for good.. Should theee first efforts reach their de- sired end, the committee will in all prob- ability make further arrangements on similar Hues.
