OUR WAR AIMS WHAT THE ALU :S MUST HAVE. -1 STolKHQ SPEECH TO I I LABJUd LONDON, Saturday. A visit by the Prime Minister gave added interest and importance to the eoli- ferenoo on the Man Power Bill, between Six Au,kianil Geddes. Minister for Natio- nal Service and the Trade Union represen- tatives, whicn was resumed at West-min- ster on Saturday morning. Mr. Lloyd George reached the Central Hall shortly before noon, and on entering the confer- ence room wag loudly cheered by the dele- gates. Mr. G. N. Barnes M.P., presided Mr. Lloyd George, who spoke for 25 min- utes, was listcaed to with great atten tfon by the delegates, who frequently ap plauded him, and at the close the Prim. Minister received an ovation. He aesured the delegates that he had. during the last few days. taken special pains to ascertain the view and attitude 01 >epreeentativ-3 men cf all sections oi thought and opinion in thé country. THE CRITICAL HOUR. I Continuing, Mr Lloyd George said that we had arrived at a most critical houi in tiis terrible conflict, and before an j Government Likcq the fateful decision fu- the conditions under which it ought cither to terminate or continue tin [titruggie. it ought to be satisiied hat the conscience of the Nation is behind the. "i-nditions, for nothing else can sustain tlio effort which is nceeseary to achien t righteous end to this war. La-3t wesk he bad the privity no; niereh' of perusing the declared war airat the Labour parry, but also of discussing tt. detail with Labour leader# as to the meaning and intention of the de daratlOn. lie had also had an oppor- tunity of discussing with Mr. Asquith and v isconnt. Grey the same momentous ques tion. He Lad, too. consulted certain r-c- aresentatives of the ureat Dominions ovei ..eas. THE MIND OF THE NATION.. t He ventured to claim lie was speakinj; hoc luwreiv the mind of the GovernmeiK. u*n of the N ation and the as Wet! V,lit,n he said we were not fightiua a wai «m ajisression against tiie German people Wft ho.w.t to join in the struggle or stann .mi(le and see Europe go under, and bruit 'rce triumuh over public right and i.5- t^rxiatronal justice. It was the realiia- ii,M oi that terrible alternative thai ;<ii'i>od tiio yritwb people into the war Thev had nsver aimed at the break up of the German people, or the disintegra- tion of the State or country. Hormany had occupied o. great position tn the world. It was net our wish HI' 111- dention to question or destroy that posi- tion for the futnre. bat rather to,tarn her tttide frwn iiopes and schemes of military -loutination. and to see her devote her trength to the great and beneficient tasks I ff the world. OUR POiNT OF VIEW. I I or wore we lighting to destroy Austri- a angary or to deprive Turkey of its capi- tal or the lands of Asia Minor and Thrucv which were predominantly Turkish in race. Our point of view was that the adop- tion of a roai democratic uGi.stitiition by Germany would be the most con. o vincina evidence that in her tue eH KDirit of military domination had in- deed died in this war. It would make it much easier for us to conclude a broad, democratic peace with her. Mera lip service to the formula of "0 annexations," "no indemnities," or tha right of self-determination was weakness. Before any negotiations could be be- cun tha Central Powers must realise the essential facts of the situation. Unless treaties were valued, unless every nation waib prepared at whatevei sacrifices to honour the national signa- ture, it is obvious that no treaty of peace amid be worth the paper it whs written en. The first requirement always put for- ward by the British Government and our Aiiies has been the c plcte restora- tion of the independence .of Belgium, and reparation. Next comes the restoration of Serbia, Montenegro, and tha occupied parts oi France, Italy and Rumania; the com- plete withdrawal of the alien armies, and reparation for injustice done. These were tno fundamental condi- tions of permanent peace. We mean to stand by the French de- mot-racy to the death. in the demand thai they make for a reconsideration t thtf great wrong of 1871, when two French provinces were torn from the eide oi France and incorporated in the German Umpire. The democ acy of this country means to stand to the last by the democ- racies of France and Italv and the other Allies. We shall be proud to fight side bt side with the new democracy of Rus- eia, so will America, 60 will France, so will Italy. But if the present leaders of Russia take action independent of the other Allies, we havf) no meana of inters 'ng to arrest the catastrophe which is rapidly befall- ing their country. Russia can be saved by her own people alone. I « VITAL MATTER. I We regard as vital the satisfaction of the legitimate arms of the Italians. We patan to see tliat justice le done to men of Rumania.n blood and speech. With regard to the German colonies he had repeatedly doclaied that they were held at the disposal of a conference, whose decision would have primary regard to the interests of the native inhabitants rhe governing consideration, therefore, niufit be that the inhabitants shall be placed in control of, and administer their own affairs. One of tkt6 main obj ects will be to pre- vent their further exploitatiaon for the benefit of European capitalists and Gov- ernments. Finally, there must be reparation for injuries done in violation of international law. The peace tonferenom must not forget I oar seamen and the services they nave tendered and the perils they have en- dured for the common cau-" of freedom. I ECONOMIC CONDITIONS. I Economic conditions alter the war would he in the highest aegree difficult for we intend that a great attempt must bs made to establish by some interna- bonal organisation an alternative to war .is a means of settling international dis- putes If they were asked what they were fighting for they replied:—For a juet and lasting peaoe, and we believed that before a permanent peace can be hoped for these conditions must be fulfilled. The scantity of treaties must be re- established A territorial settlement must be se- cured. based on a strong determination to abide by the consent of the governed, and We must seek by the creation of some international organisation to limit the burden of armaments and to the prob- ability of war.

IGOWER LOVE AFFAIRS.1 Interesting Lecture by Mr. W. H. Jones. Nf r. W. H. JonLs one- of the most inter- esting and exacting of our local historians, was the lecturer at the Swansea Public Library on Saturday evening, his subject being Some Gower Love Affairs." Some of his facts were new, others were fami- liar. but* like old songs they are always welcome when well rendered. At the outset Mr Jones referred to the amorous disposition of the De Broes fair-ily-the lords of Gower-the tirei being William, to whoa Gower was given bj King John. William's ikifo. Maud (or I Matilda) wa6 of the amazon ty, and when th* King sent to Swansea Castle to claim hos-tages for De Breos's fidelity, his knighta were received by her. and told withoni equivocation that she was not going to trust anv son of here to a man i,tho had murdered his nenhew. In a few days De Breos and his family were out- casts, and in a few months afterwards Maud and her eldest son were starved to death in prison at Windsor. A LAND FURATE. I A- much later member oi the In Breos family figured in local history as a .^u-auaer, or iaad pi rata, lie took pos- session of the corpus of King Edward il.'s ^oiumiSii.onei vvuuain. ua lAugwn, wihj d. veti at luivrouga, had hiui brougnt to Oystermouth Caetie, where he was con- fined until he had sigued a declaration icieasmg JJe liroo*, ironi ml actions which ¡ had been commenced against him. De ^angtoii louna opportunities bo make im imprisonment tar from irksome, tor soon afterwards he marriad the daughter of his jailer. De Broes subsequently snowed his want of affection for ikis wife by wronging her oi jointnre. Ho was taken bu- -c.re t tie iving's Court of Exchequer, Augment wa6 given against him, and lie «o eouniay abusod the juuge that he was vX/n.acninGd by the King to a penance included nia waiting in semi- Aiiiaity ana oarryijtig a igated canaie carough the street* of London to the I Court of Exchequer and there apologising io tiie jiage. and taca locked up in trie I I ower.

After bir Matthew's death, his wife married two more iiusoanas, becoming eventually la ay at the manor of Fytieid, near Oxford. and in her wiil described her lateti spouse as her eøtiooliest beloved hus- band Mr. Jones also related how Calvert Richard Jonas, who came to live at swan- sea, exctu-ed lua withdrawal from an "ai- tair" because of his conver»ion by Joun Wesley, and therefore fould not entrust his children to be brought up by one who could not direct their little feet into the pathway to heaven, instructed by this emi- nent divine, whose teaching at Swansea had been opened on ground of the Atau- tion House lent him by Caiv«rt Kichard I Jonee. In conclusion, the lecturer gave an ex- ample ot tilial love and relationship that existed between his mother and Bussy Mansel, who built the windmill on Kil- vey, and became leader of Cromwell s forces in Glinorgan. His mother, writ,.n.,t to him from her deathbed, a letter d cplendid counsel, impiored him to read it every Monday morning for seven years! Alro the wifely devotion shown by Mrs. Wýndhamwis. whom Benjaanin Dis- raeli came to Swansea to court when she was staying in Gloucester-place. When Dizzy was driving from their residence in to the House of Commons for a particularly trying debate, she had her finger caught iit the carriage door and suffered In silence until pbe was liberated at Westminster. How many wives would undergo suoh an ordeal to-day? Other stories related were those of the love affairs of Sir Hugh Jon. Swansea, who unsuccessfully wooed Elizabeth Woodville, later the wife of Edward IV.; and of Mary Lloyd. of Thistleboon, Oyster- mouth. The chairman was Mr. John Williams (Brynmill), who was supported by Messrs W. J. Crocker and Conybeare (committee- men.

OUR TANK CAMBiiAl FIGHTER AT i SWANSEA AMBLItiG MONSTER'S INSATiABU APiETilt FOR iWNtY To-day (Monday) is a memorable day for Swansea. It will stand out among all the eventful days of this great war. In men, in material Swansea has contributed with a patriotic lavishnMs of which all towns- people are proud The opportunity has now come, at the beginning of what may be the last ymr of Armageddon, to make a smashing financial contribut-i-on in a singularly novel, appealing—even dra- matic manner. The tank Egbert" reached Swansea on Monday morning. It has oc-ine to this- typically Welsh town via Southampton, from the Cambrai. front and from Mes- sines Ridge. It comes bearing with it signs that recall the great days, the tragic hoars, through which we have been pass- ing. With it men, Wehhmen-rome from SwanSM-h-ave gone < over the top. The tank is a huge mechanical Survivor of matvy a titan-c fight. Some of the sol- diers who went out with it. alas! will not return. With suoh noble memories i's these, memories that can never fail to appeal to patriotic Wales, that has given tremendously in all trays to the- war, Egbert"—as this rnon-ster is affection- ately called—comes to Swansea for money. It com-s for money because money is ess en tial to what the tank is d-ing. There 0811 be no tanks, no "going over the top," no victory no peace, without money. Chort- ling and serounching ialong, that is th e i horn or song—"Money, Moner, money." A LOCAL MECCA, At an early hour on Monday it arrived after an uneventful journey. It was j brought out and ponced in the ending, and j all the morning, until it moved off abort noon, many peorplo gathered to inspect this strange, grim-looking addition to the i n. plements of war that have been fieroe! forged in Britain's fnmaess of war. Picttire,f amiliir enough n o w aclr-y p do not convey a sense cf its irre- sistible power, its relentless ponder- j ousnegs as a v ew of the actual izrl-, does. All over its unshapely body theiv are marks which speak of tough fighting. Dent-s here, little chips off there, holes visible at this corner, bullet marks on all sides, all convey the real meaning cf the tank's raison d'ftre. Yet, withal, these honourable scars do bnt incrtase the awo of the implement. It looks immovable. Its attendants overhaul it with loving care. Perhaps it answers only to their pers nations! MENACING GUNS. From (0.0.11 siae there pr>rp¡;; out menac- ingly, almost winkingly, a gun that can be turned in various directions. And it is here that Egbert looks really nasty. Its weight has get you (metaphorically^ pinned d'Û, and the gtias are lookiif: gr,m'.Y cut' l l" grimly c.ut lêst anyone should to your aid Swansea will do well act W argue with Egbert." We do net like its suggestion of ttrrngth, nor its sublime indifference to any opposition. Swansea can do but one thing to assuage its poten- tial wrath, and that is give it money. Feed the brute with not, anything, so long as it is money! It will be welcomed very j enthusiastically. Cheers will be thrown at it. Good! But we bsope and believe its send-off after a week vnl be even more reasonable than its unforgettable arrival. It will go away with financial indigestion. Cardiff has given over a million. But wait till Swansea finishes' Well, Esbort," like Barkis, is willing! THE PROCESSION. At a quartet to twelve a guard of hon our of i-aur numbers of the G.V.R. under Captain Randoll met the Tank at the sid- ing and it moved off, bedecked with flags, via Jersey Bridga to Prince of Walee-rd., .en route far -he Exchange Buildings. ————— THE FIRST MEETING. I The tank's surprisingly rapid progress down High-street was watched by hun- dreds of people. Then the monster pulled up at the Exchange Buildings, where a ioyai crowd gathered and a notice of "Welcome" was placed up. Amid oheers, the Mayor (Aid. Ben Jone.o mounted the tank, and he was followed by Mr. McTavieh (the tank organiser), Mr. Hieiid (Deputy Town Clerk), Mr. Ashmole (Borough Treasurer), Mr. Rode- rick (Town Clerk's Ofiice), M. Le Bar; (Deputy French Consul), Mr. A. E. Wynup (president-elect of the Chamber of Commerce), Mr. R. L. Sails, Mr. Owen Harris, and Mr. Turpin. I TLe Mayor welcomed the tank which they had long expected. Swansea had contri- buted 15,000 boys to the colours and had done well in every way connected with the war. He hoped that Swansea would create a record in tank investments. Ther thonght it advisable to bring the tank on the first day to the Chamber cf Commerce where the money was. (Laughter.) He I hoped the Chamber would contribute, say, ■ £ 200,000. Mr. Wynne said it was a gTeat honour to the Chamber of Commerce to receive the first visit from the tank. They appreciated it. The tank had taken them by surprise They did not know it was in Swansea The tank had taken the Germans by surprise at Measines and Cambrai That was the Tank's burinem--+,o take them by surprise. Two of the crew had been awarded the Military Medal for bringing Tanks out of action. The money was wanted, and it was right that the Chamber should set an example to tiio town, which he hoped the town would fol- low. M. Le Bans asked them to give their money for all of them--for the Allies New Tanks and material of war were re- quired, and they could not get that with out the necessary money. MR. ROGER BECK'S START. n I mr. itoger jyecK, amiosr cnaers, said that he w.mld invest CI,000 at once Oil behalf of the Orph in Homes. He appealed for general and united public support. Mr. Owen Harris, Mr. Turpin, and Mr. R. L. Sails all eloquently appealed for support. The need of the money was em- phasised, and the security of the whole Empire behind such investments as the tank required was pointed out. Mr. As-hmole said the tank would open on Tuesday morning at the Guildhall, the Mayor performing the openeing cere- mony. Certificates for 15s. 6d. could be purchased, which would give a chance to the small investor, and also £5 bonds. Judging by the reoepticn to-day, Tank Week in Swansea should be a bumper one. Snccses of a sweeping nature is prophesied. The singing of God Save the King H closed the proceedings, and the tank moved off to its It moorings" at the Guildhall. BUSINESS-LIKE PROPOSALS. r-rudential Co.—The directors of the Prudential are prepared to purchase through the Swansea Tank any amount or war bonds, equal to the total sum of war bond policies completed in Swansta next week. For example. It £100.000 of war bond business is completed the Prudential will purchase war tonds for a further ignm. of £ 90,000 through the Swansea Tank. The exact wording of the secretary's letter to Mr. J P. Williams, the local manager, which we have inspected, is thus.—We aseum" that you am aware that the company is prepared to make I 'rther subscriptions to tho Swansea Tank Week in respect of every war bond v>ioposal completed after ,nl),ÕOO sum as- sured has been obtained, and we 6hall be I i nly too pleased if you find yourself in a I position to ask us to fulfil our promise." It is now up to the rich and middle- f.taas people of Swansea to avail them- selves at once of the excellent scheme in- augurated by the Prudential, which ren- ders it easy to purchase was bonds for substantial amounts. Tha company are I prepared to negotiate for new bondf run- ) ning to five figures. Intending subscribers Jiould make a point of speaking yf one the company's representatives Without delay or call at the d?rict u&oe in Ca<stie- ►treet. We must do our bit by making the Tank week a record fcr the Principality. Pari Assurance Co., Ltd.—In ae_r??itlitlYl t? the ?EK'.O? that Hits M.mpany will in- I vfcst in war bonds through the Tank at Swansea this week they are also prepared tn assist the public to buy bond& by in- stalments, spreading over 5. 7 or 10 yoars. Hccording to the term of bond selected. The terms are extreoiely generous to the investor, and it is confidently expected that every loyal citizen, by a fresh effort towards thrift, will diiect some pert of his, or her income to the purchase of tht'a bonds. Further re the com- I pany's scheme can be obtained from the district superintendent. Mr. T. Price. Si, Helen's-road. Swansea. Norwich Union Life Assuranco Co.— Mr. Bert Packham South Wales manager of the Norwich Tnion uife Assurance Co., whose office is at Swaneea, has been in- II structed by his directors to deposit a cheque for £ 10,000 in the Swansea Tank en Tuesday. This brings the total iu- vestment of <he Norwich Union Life Co. up to £5H5.000 j ABERAVON'S INVESTMENT.

Powell said, Well, I'm every time I do some- thing I'm caught." THE WRONG COURT. Louisa Mitchell, a married woman, charged with stealing a petticoat from Louisa Adcock, had at a previous court failed to appear. She now said that she had gone down to the County Court in mistake. She denied all knowledge of the theft. The Chairman told her he was afraid she was getting a nuisance, and the only thing they oould do was to fine hor 20s. or 21 days. I'll take the days," said Mrs. Mitchell. SENT DOWN FOR SIK MONTHS. Henry Salisbury, seaman, pleaded, guilty to a charge of breaking and enter- ing 1 and 2.

pared to make even greater sacrifices than those they have yet endured. The conferenee afterwards terminated, and arrangements have been made for the holding of group conferences during thø coming week. LABOUR'S VIEWS. The o £ ink»«s of leading Labour leaders on the latest war aims speech of Mr. Lloyd George (which was given very fully in the 6.30 edition of the Cambria Daily Leader -") are of interest:— Mr. A. Henderson, M.P.—Labour will welcome it in so far as it is a clear state- ment of the aims for the realisation of which we are continuing the war. In some respects it embodies the objects which Labour at its recent eonferenoo defined as essential war aims. Mr. Philip Snowden, M.P.-The most satisfactory statement the Prime Minis- ter has made. Mr. Robert Williams (general secretary of the National Transport Workers' Federation).—Much appears to be left for the consideration of the world congress which will assemble after the war, but we are by no means certain that the thillJlS which should count will be con- sidered in the complacent manner the Prime Minister suggests. In my view. Mr. Lloyd George has read the war aims memorandum of the Labour party to some purpose. Mr. Ramsay Macdonald. M.P.—No one could be under the belief that the tone of the speech was the same aa that of the speeches which had been delivered before. It was far more reasonable and far moro calm—the speech of a man who felt his tremendous responsibility as Prime Minister of this country Mr. John Williams, M.P. (Gower).— Very fine speech. Will do a lot of good. Right Hon. J. H. Thomas, M.P.—The Premier's speech ie very important and far-reaohlng, and, in my judgment, ought to bring peace considerably near. It also ought to have the effect of showing the German people that ottr policy is not one of aggression
