The 3rd Glamorgan Battalion) turned out in splendid lorce this morning at at High-otreet Station to join the special troop train due to leave at 1\1.5 a.m., and the men were himed as they formed up in soldierly style outside the station. SWANSEA BATTALION'S HISTORY. It may be interesting to recall a little of the hitcory of the Swansea and ineath Battalions. The 3rd Glamorgan Battalion at Swan- sea is the strongest in the county, and thus S-wansea maintains the proud posi- tion that it established in 18tio of being the best district in the county for the recruiting of Volunteers. Major Bertie Perkins, who is now in command, and Major Dyson Williams have been fore- most in the work oi raising the battalion, which, as in most other places, contains many of the former members of the old Volunteer Force. Others who have greatly assisted the work of raising the battalion included Colonel J. R. Wright (who is the honorary colonel), Sir John Llewelyn, Bart, Mr. Roger Beck, Colonel Trick, Mr. Charles Eden, Mr. Arthur Eden, Coun- cillor David Matthews, and the late Ald. Corker. The 4th Glamorgan Battalion at Neath is now over 1,000 strong. It had its origin among a few veterans of the Neath Civic Guard soon after the outbreak of war, who were guided by an old soldier, Sergt.- Major Percy. Later they were merged into a Volunteer Training Corps and re- moved to the mytf Drill Hall. Major W. B. Trick is in command, and other officers include Captain Russel Stone, and th, adjutant, Mr. John Lloyd. The battalion covers, in addition to Neath, Skewen, Port Talbot, Aberavon, and the Neath, Avon, and Dulais Valleys. Lord French arrived in South Wales on Tuesday, and with characteristic energy inspected two South W ales continn in one day. TIe travelled to Cardiff this morning for to-day's review, when Swansea will be once again to the fore with her superior numerical strength. THE DEPARTURE. ) The departure of the Battalion from High-street Station was witnessed by a large number of people. Parading in Alexandra-road, about 1,000 strong, they marched through the eenire of the town, and up High-street to the Station, to the strains of inspiriting martial music. A special train was in waiting, and the work of entraining was smartly accomplished, the departure being made at 10.40.

A CHALLENGE TO THE CHURCHES. a What Are They Doing About the Drink Traffic? A well-attended meeting organised by the > local Congregational churches was held on ] Wednesday night at Tabernacle, Pontar- dawe, to consider tiw present position of the drink problem. The Rev. W. J. Rees, Alltwen, presided, and was supported by Rey. Seiriol Williams, U. Bow;yer, J. Richards, and others. The Chairman eaid the most urgent duty of the churches just how was to con- centrate and consecrate themselves to the task of bringing the politics of the State up to the ethics of the Church. (Cheers.) The very existence of a drink problem in our day was a stain on our civilisation, and a. challenge to our churches. He moved a resolution appealing to the Gov- ernment to de-al immediately and effec. tively with the drink evil. The Rev. J. T. Rhys, in supporting, said the brutal fact was that the churches were not keen on the drink problem. Charlie Chaplin would have crowded the building with Christians who, however, would not ,-r,al,-e nnv sacrifice to help the drunkard to a higher and better life. (" Quite true.") All agreed that the most urgent immediate -iiitr was to bring the war to a close. Thp drink was to-day our most serious obstacle in our war operations, for it reduced our man-power, impoverished our financial resources, hampered the manufacture of munitions, and crravely restricted our food supplies. Food material vital to the needs of the peonle was beinsr destroyed in colossal quantities, in order that the liquor traffic might not be abort of drink. (" £ hame.") The failure of the late Government to deal effectively with the problem was a scandal of the first magnitude. There was an appalling amount of drinking among women. It was not as well knwn. but it was equally lamentable, that drinking was {,n the increase among young people. The Government should forthwith forbid any- one, under 21 entering public-houses or drinking any alcoholic beverage. Imme- diate steps should be taken to bring the I greatest pressure on the Government, through the local Members, to deal with this indescribable evil. (Applause.) He •^id not care mnrh how it was Hone, but he did believe that 8tate purchase offered the easiest, most effective way. The Rev. D. M. Dnvies, Waunorlwydd, said he thought the Free Church Councils should at once hold special meetings to press this matter on. the Government. Temperance reformers had now friends in the Cabinet. (Cheers;) The resolution was carried unanimously.

FARMER'S SUICIDE. I I Pembroke Man Found Hang I ing in Cow-House. I The Pembrokeshire Coroner (Mr. H. J. E. Price) held an inquest at Bethany, Haverfordwest, on Wednesday into the circumstances surrounding the death of Mr. William Reynolds, a well-known local farmer, who wao found dead, hanging in his oow-house. According to the evidence of Mrs. Alice Reynolds, his wife, the deceased had been ill for some two years, and had com- plained of pains in the head. During the last six weeks he had been much worse. On the day of bis death he got up, but begged her.not to leave him. She stayed with him all the morning, ona at one o'clock .went to get him eomp dinner. Their little boy went out on a message, and when he returned he saw his father hanging in the cow-house. The Coroner said he had known the de- ceased as a friend and a neighbour for many years. It was mystery to him how he took like he did during his illness, as he was the most eTfeeHul'oJmeri"" The jury returned a, verdict of ^ukdde.duiisg insanity/ j

The price of a u.,w -s iuiuae, with hrin sides, door letter-box anki J collapsible root, is x6 6s. Never beiore was there such an elabo- j rate display, even at Ben Evaus'. Aero- planes are oftered from Is. to 2 is. 6d., anti a wonderful Dreadnought wuuch can be blown up as many times as you like by a submarine* The cost of the Dreadnought and submarine complete, tully armea, is not counted in miliwlls-the wiiole lot gog& for 3a. lid. I There are London Scottish quick lirmg gailb at -6. GA., guns at Ss. lid., 12lb. naval guns 5s. lid. French 75's at 2s. 6<1.. and forts from Is. to 30s.

Tra^e keeps up very well indeed," said the genial manager, when asked as to the general position. The children's toys are really very good-better than ever; and presents for the grown up are II more usaiul and practical than in pre- VM?ua yeara. Our only difficulty is in get- ting the goods. I am sending buyers to! all markets, and I am open to book orders 12 months ahead, but VdY few manu- facturers will accept them. If the war Qontiuu, there will be great d?cultiea in the future. Prices in some sections are advancing almost every, week,, particularly in furni- ture. But we still hold large bt-ockis, aild can sell at almost pre-war prices. Our winter sale opens on Friday, Jan. 5th. Stocks are very much heavier than they have ever been, and as far as the; fashion department is concerned, we shall be offering some startling bargains." But in the meantime the lure is of Christmas toys and presents, and this will undoubtedly prove insistent to all who favour themselves with & sight of Bern. Evans's basement. MESSRS. PURSER. I One of the things the boys at the front are always writing to the homes for is a good time-keeping wristlet watdh. Quite a large number of the watches that have been sent out from Swansea homes have been purchased at Messrs. John Purser's, and letters received from the front speak well of them.

WASTE LANDS. j New Powers Vested in Loca" Authorities. The terms of the new Regulation made by Order in Council under the Defence of the Realm Consolidation Act, 1914. with the object of increasing the food supplies of the country by extending the existing powers of providing land for cultivation are now made public. The principal object of the Regulation, and the Order of the Board of Agriculture and Fisheries is to secure the cultivation of unoccupied land in districts where labour is available j by authorising local authorities to take possession of such land without the neces- sity of obtaining any consents, but power is also given to take possession of occupied • land by agreement with the owner and occupier, and to take possession of common lands with the consent of the Board. Land may be taken either within or outside the area of the Council if it can conveniently W cultivated by pereons re- siding within the area. Common land may be taken subject to the consent of the Board in each case, but consent will not I be given to any scheme which would damage materially the natural beauty or amenties of a common or which would seriously prejudice the interests of the. commoners or the public. Moreover, the Board will not consent to scheme6 for the taking of parts of commons unless they are satisfied that the local demand cannot reasonably be met from other classes of land. DURING THE PERIOD OF WAR. The Order in Council has effect only during the war, but under the Defence of the Realm (Acquisition of Land) Bill of this session it is proposed that the Board shall have power to extend the period of occupation under this Regulation for such period as may be necessary for sefcuring any annual crop growing at the end of the war. No rent will be payable by « Council for any unoccupied land or common land taken under the Order, Councils are authorised to provide seeds, manures, or implements at cost price to cultivators. The principal object of the scheme is to stimulate the growth of sub- stantial foodstuffs, such ae potatoes, rather than luxury crops. Council ara instructed to arrange as far as possible that the expenses of providing land should be recouped by payments made by the cultivators. In the case of unocqupied or common land, where no rent is paid by the Council, the Board observes it may not be necessary to charge more than a nominal rent to the cultivators. but if the 'nt is paid by the Council for occu- pied land the rents charged should be sufficient to cover the payments. Any Com*, pensation payable on quitting either tea owners or cultivators will be defrayed by; the Board.
