WAR HEROES. I Magnificent Bravery and Self-Sacrifice. His Majesty held an investiture at Buckingham Palace on Wednesday, when he bestowed war decorations upon about 130 naval and military officers. The bestowals included posthumous V.C.'s. Lieut.-Colonel William Carter, Essex Regiment, received two decorations, namely, the D.S.O. and a bar to his Mili- tary Cross. Captain J. Hibbert, of the South Lancashire*, Captain Lionel Seek- ham, of the Lancashire Fusiliers, and Captain Bernard Vann, of the Sherwood Foresters, were the other three ofifcers to whose Military Cross bars were added. A V.C. was handed to R. W. H. Smith, father of Second Lieut. Alfred Victor Smith, East Lancashire Regiment. The record read to the King showed that the late Lieut. Smith flung himself without any hesitation upon a grenade in a trench occupied by several oflioers and men. He was instantly killed by the explosion. His magnificent act of self-sacrifice undonbt- [edly saved many lives. The King also handed a V.C. to Mr. H. T. B. Jones, won by his son," Lieut. Richard Basil Brandram Jones, of tb? Loyal' North La.ncashi Regiment. It this owe the rowrd Mowed that when his platoon was being attacked in overwhelm- ing numbere, Lieut Jones kept his mpli together, steadied them by his fine example, and personally shot <5»o fewer than 15 of tb-6 enemy as they advanced. counting them as he did so. In order to cheer and encourage his men when all his ammunition was exhausted, he took up a bomb, and was in the act of rising to throw it when he was shot through the head and killed instantly. His magni- ficient behaviour so heartened his men that when they. had no longer any rifle ammunition or'bombs left they actually held their position and pelted the enemy with stoaes and ammunition boxes. Finally, when only nine of the platoon re- mained. these survivors found themselves compelled to retire. The King, in bestowing the two posthumous V.C.s, poke most sympathe- tically to the parents of the two gallant officers, and expressed both his warm eym- pathy for them and his admiration of the pluck of their boye.

I NO BONUS FOR TEACHERS. The Carmarthen Borough Education Committee on Wednesday considered an application from the class teachers of the town for a war bonus of « £ 20 per annum. T-he head taaohers alod applied for agub, stantial bonus. Mr. J. B. Arthur said the granting of 1Jhe two applications would mean a total of £ 1,040, whicih was equivalent to some- thing like a rate of 7d. or 8d. in the .t- He would requilire a mandate from the ratepayers bofosr* he could accept the re- sponsibility of granting .the applications Mr. Jno. Crossm-an aaid that to bear the increased cost of living was the amount of sacrifice the teachers were making in com- mon with others. The Committee regretted they cotfld not gpraet the applications.

INCOME, TAX CASE] PROCEEDINGS AT SWANSEA TIKPLATE WORKS' RETURNS I The case came before the Swansea Jus- ticefi on Thursday in which Mx. John Williamas figured, as defendant, in a aeries of cha.rges. TIheee ch&rges (which have already been published), doealt with the trading documents and balance sheets of the Tinplajfce Go. in relation to iDOOnK tax returns. Mr. G. H. Shaw, of the Solicitor's De- partment of the Inland R-evenue, prose- cuted, and MT. Llewelyn Williams, K.C., M-P. (instructed by Messrs. Viner Leeder and Morris), defended. In opeaung Mr. Shaw said he proposed to give the facts relating to the three charges, and would call evidence, but Mr. Llewelyn Williams raised an objection, as the respective charges wpre entirely different. Mr. Shaw replied that only functioll of the Court was to see that a prima face case was made out agai-iwt the defendant. Mr. Llewlyn. Williams interposed that he had no objection to the firat and second charges being heard together, but as the third alleged offence concerned the de- fendant, it should be heard separately, The Justices decided that tho crises should, be taken together. *11B. SHAW'S STATEMENT. r. Shaw fiftid that uader the Income 7?ax Ad the ?abil?y was on the statutory I profit of the company, which was the a"-ago pront of the three years which ? iiinmediately preceded tb?c yeM of 3IS8S- inent. In this (O the Clayton Ti up late Co., Ltd., was a comparatively small con- cern, in that it was a private concern, i t with about 50 shareholders. Its profits, however, were considerable, and the share- holders were reociving a handeome rate of dividends. Their accounts were audited by a firm of big standing, and he em- phasised that they had nothing Vi ltever to do with the preparation of the ac- counts which were furnished to the Sur- veyor of Taxes. The accounts from 1907 ) to 1914 wore sent in each year by the de- fendant, and any corresponding inquiries by the Surveyor of Taxes with regard to the accounts were addressed to the defen- dant; No (suspicion was thrown upon the [ accounts sent in by the defendant, but in i March last, tho late accountant of tliel company, called upon the 6urveyor, stat- ing that he wa? &9ut by the defendant, who h&d requested him to &ay that the accounts furnisjied by him (Mr. Wil- I liamlO;) in previous year6 were not correct, lan4 the profits had boon largely under- (stated. The effects of the falsification were that the true adjusted pnrfit for the year 1910 was more than two and a hall times; for the year 1911 more than four [times; and for the year 1912 more than three tiiues, the profits shown in the ac- counts prepared by the defendant, and j handed to the Surra.,or. In one year; 6aid Mr. Shaw, the profit was more than Ell,315 shown in the ac- count. From 1910 to 1916 the company es- caped the payment of 92,419. The pre-war standard of profit would be now compared with the profit if true accounts had been put in, a.nd the company would have Ijeen [heavily penalised as to excess profit duty. FOR PREJUDICE ALONE." I Mr. Shaw was about to read a letter [ by the defendant to a shareholder, when Mr. Williams protested. Wh&t on earth has this to do with tl? cbarges? It ia for prejudice alone, and I am surprised that a gentleman of the po&ition of my learned I friend should condescend to such a I thing." I THE LETTER. The Justices ruled that the letter was relevant. The communication, addressed to the j wife of a Scottish shareholder, pointed out Whilst you are legally entitled to lit, we must say we are very reluctant to give it, and in the present crisis we think • this is very disloyal and unpatriotic on 1 the part of your husband to claim a ro- iiiimd of the income tax which has not been paid directly out of your pookot. We beg to enclose a certificate, and hope you w on't trouble so long as the tax is paid by the corapany.-(Siocd) John Wil- liains, for the Clayton Tinplate Co." Mr. Shaw: This is a letter which is written to a man who is entitled to claim rebatement of tax, and he is told by the defendant: H If you claim that tax, to which you are legally entitled, voll are doing a very disloyal and unpatriotic1 thing." And that, letter was sent by a man wh<i was much wealthier tn the Scot- tish applicant. Mr. Llewelyn Williams again protested, and Dr. Rawlings observed: "I agree with you, and (addressing Mr. Shaw) am sorry you ventured so far." Mr. Shaw proceeded, that in the year 11914 the defendant fiftid his salary and óther emoluments from the Clayton Co. were ?00. He also 6aid that ae the secretary of the Pontardulajs Cbemj.?ct?i Company h 'receívoo 920, ,tiftd on? w h job b? imm up he said his total in- come from all sources was XI,281 U. 9d. The fact was that from the former com- pany Mr. Williams received X750 instead of X,300, and from the latter undertaking X100 instead of .£20. His total income that year was £ 3,206. In 1915 his in- come was £ 3,461; in 1916 he was receiving £ 3,039, whereas he had said his income was < £ 1,560. For 1916 defendant said he received from the Clayton Tinplate Co. JE400, and t20 from the Pontardulais Co. In fact his income from the former was ,el,ooo, and tloo from the latter, while he had reported that his total income was Jil,952, it was, in fact, &4,297. Since the matter came to the knowledge of the lruand Revenue, concluded Mr. Shaw, defendant had placed no obstacle in their way what- ever, and had given every facility for the fullest information to be given tQ the Commissioners. He had supplied through his accountants a list showing his total income from all sources. I Formal evidence was given by several I officials in the Income Tax department in London and at Swansea. I THE GROSS INCOME. Answering Mr. Shaw, Mr. Fred Wilson, (' surveyor of taxes for the Swansea district, remarked that for the years 1912-15 the defendant's gross income amounted to £ 14,003.

TINPLATE AND SHEET TRADE The Board at Trade and Labour Gaaet te for the present month shows no improvement in thetinpla,te and iheei trade at the end of November, compared with the previous month, and compared with a ago we find 121 less tinplate mills, aniii4 less sheet mills working. But, these figures do not give the true position, even when they state that half the mills are idle, because many mills work but ha.If-tims,. four or five days a week at most. The exports of tinned plates and tinned sheets during November showed an increase of 5.482 tons (ovsr 50 per cent.) compared with a year ago. Compared with October, 1916, there was an increase of over 1,700 toRS to British East Indies, and of over 600 tons to Portugal. Exports to the Netherlands, it should be stated, on the other hand, were practically stopped entirely. Compared with "'a year ago, there werv large decreases to France, I Netherlands and Norway, and marked in- creases to Australia, and Argentina.

IN PARLIAMENT .——— RESTRICTED RAILWAY SERVICE AND IHGrilAfD F MES. I WAR PRISONERS HOUSE OF COMMONS, Wednesday- The Speaker took the chair at 2.45- Mr. James Hope informed Major Hunt that 21 German officers, among whom were the captain of the Blucher and an officer who was on Zeppelin 15 (which was I brought down in the Thames Bstuary), but not the captain of the Emden, had recently been i-einoved from Donington Hall and transferred to Switzerland. The Government had received the names of 20 British officers who had reached Swit- zerland from Germany during the last few days. MESOPOTAMIA COMMAND. Mr. Ian Macpherson said Major-General Maude was in command of the Mesopo- tamia Expeditionary Force. No effort bad bœn spared to equip the force in a satisfactory ma1JnH. REDUCED RAILWAY SERVICE. Mr. George Roberts said it was proposed to restrict the passenger service of the railways of this country on and after January let. There would also be an in. c-reasc of ordinary pasoODcfr fares from that date of 50 per cent., leaving un- touched workmen's fares and mason tickets for districts not exceeding 46 miles. FRONGOCH CAMP. Sir George Ca, replying to a question as to tiie conuilBon of rrongocii <unp, said he regretted that the senior medica; oincer of the camp was found,drowne.d on December 14th. According to a brief re- port he had i-eceived, the officer was much bothered by certain unfounded charges made against him.

FARMERS AND FOOD. The Ammanford Council, at a special meeting on Wednesday night, discussed the Board of Agriculture Order in refer- ence to increase of food products. Mr. J. Davies presided, and the Cle-rk (Mr. T. M. Evans) explained the provisions of the Order. The principal points were that arrangements could be entered into for takinjj over nnoccupiedJand as well as for utilising common land, provided there was no undue interference with the graz- ing rights of the homagers; tho allotments could not exceed 2j acres each; the land would be let by the Council at a certain rental for one. year; and the culti- H\tors would h? tenants of the Coun?l. and would be supplied with &red at C()8t I pric?.—Mr. Thos. Fletcher leyed thcr? should be provision r?wtwoting gardens not cultivated. Members exchanged opinions freely, and there was a eon<H>nsus of opinion in favour of taking up the scheme. Mr. Wra. Evans thought the Council would be justified in taking sufficient ground. for allotments for growing potatoes, po that with the present, garden crops there cli-ould be an adequate quan- tity for the whole population. Mr. David George said splendid potato crops could be got from the park'.—During the discussion, the Rev. J. Morgan touched upon the responsibility of far- mers respecting the food supply. It was unanimously decided to adopt the Order, and a committee, consisting of the Rev. J. Morgan, Messrs. Dd. George, T. Fletcher, B. R. Evans, Wm. Evan-s, with the chairman, and vice-chairman, was elected to take the necessary prelimi- nary steps without del,y.

A NATION AT WAR. ALL MEN OF 17 TO 56 1 ARE WANTED NON-ESSENTIAL TRADES TO STOP I More detaikxl particulars of Britain's I man power scheme are now available, re- vealing the plan as a, bold and far-rcaoh- ing one. It will provide the men for the Army, for munitions, and for such pro- ducitive employments as agriculture. The Government will appeal to the whole manhood of the country that is not m the A my or already engaged in work of national importance to enrol volun- tarily for service as war-workers. men between the ages of 17 and 56 are wanted, They must place themselves at the dis- j posad of the State for tho duratiin of the war, and consent to be tranaferr.d to oc- cupations or localities where their ser- vices are most required in the interests of the country. TRADE UNION WAGES. The full trade union rate of wages—for skilled or unskilled work, as the cap,, may j be—will be paid to war-workers. In ad. dition to this pay, a subsistence allow-1 ance at the rute of 2s. 6d. a day for the seven days of the week will be paid to men who, owing to the system of transfer, will be under the necessity of maintaining two homes. The is to be a. register in every locality of war industrial or productive require J ments. A schedule of indispensable ar.d non- essential trades is to be drawn up. j Non-essential industries will be shut down without compunction, so that 1 be labour employed in t,iipn i may be a vailible. for munitions or productive industries. War workers are needed to release fit men for the Army; to supply the expand- I ing needs of the munition factories, and, to help in creating national wealth by oc- j cupation in productive employments. i THE EFFECT. It is estimated that fit any given time 40 per cent. of the men engaged on war work in this country are either idle or not occupied to their f-ull capacity owing tc lack of mobility. One of the chief func- j tions of Mr. Neville Chamberlain will be to stimulate mobility by transferring men in batches to places where they are most urgently required. Mr. N eville Chamberlain, as Director of ?tional Service, will have important tra? union leaders associated with him. Following the aiiaJ.ogv of Lord Drby's Arinv recruiting scheme, a short time- limit will be allowed for the enrolment of war-workers voluntarily. If the neces- sary number of men is not forthcoming, the Government will appeal for compul- sory powers. By the more efficient methods of organi- sation and the added mobility of labour, :.nd by the stoppage of non-essential trades the available labour force of the country will be largely augmented.

I CARLTON MATINEE. j For the Widows' and I Dependents' fiJnd. A highly successful special matinee was held at the CcrlLon Cinema on Wednes- day in aM of the Christmas fund for the widows and dependants of Swansea sol- diers who have fallen in the war.
