IADOPTED BY PREMIER. I
ADOPTED BY PREMIER. Romantic Story of Brave Italian Boy. Rome, Sunday (received Monday).—The war correspondent of the Giornale d'ltalia relates the following incident when the Premier, Signor Orlando, was recently visiting the front:— He was made acquainted with the story of a youth of 15, named Marcello Davide, serving with the 21st Regiment, who had run away from his parents in the invaded territory and had gone to work as a labourer iu the war zone. Ho gave up his employment to fight along with the 21st TTegiment, and in his new sphere of activity was soon remarked for his obser- vance, discipline, and-his bravery. Signor Orlando, on learrung these par- ticulars, and in addition the fact that the boy would not hear of leaving the front, addressed the colonel of the regiment as follows: Be good enough, colonel, to keep this lad. From now on I adopt him as a son," and then turning to the young soldier he continued, You a.re another of my sons. Write to me every month, an,d tell me how you are getting on. For the present go on fighting for your coun- try against the menace of autocracy and militarism/'

TRUTH ABOUT THE WAR. i
TRUTH ABOUT THE WAR. i STRIKINC SERMOr BY THE REV.! PEDR WILLIAMS In the course of a powerful sermon de- ¡ livered at St. Paul's Congregational Church, Swansea, on Sunday evening. the Rev. Pedr Williams gave his crowded congregation some home truths about the war. At the outset he paid a tribute to France, and asked whether they realised the debt we owed to France. The alliance with her had been made possible only by a common danger and by a common atti- tude to the monstrous German doctrines of honour. It had also been made pos- sible by the fact that the French, like ourselves, were devoted to the humani- ties and were democrats. GERMANY'S IDEALS. He referred to the hook recently trans- lated from German (and intended for cir- culation in Cei'immy only) written by the Deputy of the German Start", in which he declared that the purpose of Germany ill the future must he to use commerce, education and science, for the purpose of building up a more powerful military machine than even that which they now possessed. These were ideals that stand in the way of the real progress of humanity and the true freedom of mankind. There were still a groat many who were not awake to the true character of Ger- n-any i aciicns. What would have hap- pened if the iiiail who riefu&ed to take up military service had been universally imitated m this country: Where woulii our free institutions have would have Iieen this freedom to pass re- solutions which some, even in this coun- try, appeared to be offering as their sub- stitute for service in the Wllr r THREE SECTIONS. There were three sections given U. which he (the speaker) did not belong. (1; There were the men who seemed to think it to be their duty to incessantly attack those who held the reins of powe* in this country for the time being; (I those whose notion of the fitness of things was to spend their time in conference, that ought to be spent in enriching toe- power of resistance to the foe oi hum- anity; and (;{) the section who never learnt their lesson, and seemed to be willing to be taken in to-day as we were taken in at the outbreak of war. lIe saw no way to end our pres-ent diffi- culties that did not involve the destruc- tion of the German military machine. If it were possible to bring down that machine without further slaughter, he would thank God for the possibility, be- cause he believed that the future must be ensured by a new emphasis upon de- mocratic ideals. But that. he maintained, that any peace that did not put an end to the dominance of the Prussian mili- tary party would be illusory. The time would come for reconstruc- tion—social and i-eli--riotis--and the first necessity was that they should re-coli- st rue t themselves. THE NATION'S GOD. j Mr. Geo. Clarke on Cause of War. "Until the nations recognise God we shall not know what peace is," said Mr. Geo. Clarke at St. Barnabas Church, Swansea, on Sunday evening. It was now generally agreed that the Kaiser and his Government were the cause of the war. But might it not be that the Kaiser was only the result of the cause? Mr. Clarke described the nations before the war-Russia drunken, Belgium priest- ridden. France atheistic, Germany abso- lutely without Jesus Christ, Britain self- seeking, materialistic and ploasure- loving. Thousands of men are dying month by month," continued Mr. Clarke. a Tens of thousands are making shells. Why doesn't God end it? I say he can't, if this book (the Bible) is true; and that God won't, until some nation puts God in the right* place."
TERRIBLE BACKACHE I SUFFERING.
TERRIBLE BACKACHE I SUFFERING. CURED BY ONE BOX OF BAKER'S I BACKACHE PELLETS. Mr. C. S. Smith, a tailor, of Marvels- town, Kells, Co. jleath, Ireland, writes: I suffered terribly i'rom pains in the back and shoulders, but the first box of Baker's Backache Pel lots cured me in a week. I can now work quite easily at the tailoring, sitting in the middle of the table. 1 thank you very much and am telling all the people round here what Baker's Backache Pellets have done for me."

BROKEN PROMISES.I
BROKEN PROMISES. I Allotment Holders Criticise I the Swansea Council. A meeting of the Swansea and District Allotment and Cottage Gardeners was held at the Elysium on Saturday evening, Mr. Houlder presiding. A great deal of discussion arose over the fact that the Allotment Committee of the Borough Council had not done anything to further and encourage allotment-holders in the town. It was pointed out that with the exception of holding an exhibition last year nothing else had been done by them, in spite of promises. One thing that should have been put into operation was the opening of a central stores. Councillor D. Richards, a member of the Committee, remarked that it was true that they had not done much—they were not asked to do things. (Laughter.) With regard to the non-arrival of seed potatoes, the secretary read a wire from Sir Alfred Mond stating that Mr. Dal- lingher was going to Cardiff that day to inquire into the matter, and if possible the remaining orders would be dispatched in due course. Eventually it was decided to write to the Board of Agriculture to the effect that unless the order was executed in a fort- night's time, they would ask the authority to withdraw their present restrictions.

IAMONG OUR TROOPS
AMONG OUR TROOPS SWAHSEA J.P.'S CONFIDENCE IN THE ARMY T'LI17L ARS,?IY I When the great German offensive started there was at lcv.st one Swansea man who viewed it without dismay or lack of confidence. That was Mr. James Wignall, J.P., who had just returned from a tour of the British front where the danger most threatened, and his be- j lid was founded on the extraordinary uature of the British defences and the superb confidence of our soldiers. Ai-.ro-s Vimy {{idge the Somme, Bapaume, amj X,'iinv tiie S,-nime, BapauniL,, an(i among the places he visited at the i head of a party of trade unionists, and every- where he found our troops awaiting the onslaught, prepared if need lw for a strategic withdrawal, but without a doubt as to their ability to withstand the fiercest onslaught oc the foe. How justified they were the wonderful battle stories wo have been reading recently in- dicates. One thing Mr. Wignall emphasises— the courtesy and readiness of the British officers to oblige their visitors, ensure their comfort, and show all that was to be eeen. There was no hampering, Tio-c.()ii- ?H'n? tihe frips to speciaHy prepared <tr&a?. no lack of tru?t in the??r prepi? Vrom the Colonel in charge of the ar- '-Migements to the ofncer-guide, all were ?n?p?.riu? in their endeavours. EXCELLENT RESULTS. That the visits have produced excellent results, equally among the troops and the civilian workers at home cannot be ques- tioned, and the effect among the French people the travellers met was equaliy gratifying. The glimpses into the vast effort of France behind the ifring-line re- vealed the same tense unyielding deter- mination to give of their best that is the dominating note of Britain to-day, and many misunderstandings and much dis- trust have nm151100 as a consequence from the minds of the toUei's 01' ?'ta nations with a completeness that nothing «!«e could accomplish. As an indication of the r?adiQMs of the liritiah military authorities to please the visitors, this instance may he given. JUr. Wirnall mentroned to his guide his desire t.o see his son. Corporal E. J. Wignall, who. at the time was posted far up on the Cnmbrai front, a considerable distance from the line to be visited. But when he rmched a certain town-the nearest to this particular front—lie found his son awaiting him, as a result of Headquarters instructions, and they spent a happy- time together. The parties were conducted on a mili- tary basis, the leader being made a tem- porary officer, and termed the civiliau- atûccr." He was held responsible for the carrying out of all instructions, and the control of his own party, which generally numbered fifteen members. Among the, many experiences Mr. Wig- nall had N-it; a ride in a tank, a yjc<1it to rtn aerodrome- to see one of our latest battleplanes"—and the sight or a squadron of giant bombing 'planes off to raid a German, lown. A LABOUR CANDIDATE. Mr. Wignall, by the way, has been re- ported in the London press as having been adopted Labour Candidate for the Forest o¥ Dean. This is not correct. Mr. Wig- nall has been nominated, among others, but the final selection has not yet been, made. What, gave rise to the rumour is probably the great success of a series of meetings concluded last week in the con- stituency, at one of which Mr. Wignall corrected a statement made to the effect that 110 had been adopted, by say:ncr he r.a willing to accept an invitation, if ex- pended. hut that he was equally prepared to lov,,illy act according to any decision come to by the selection committee, and to support, whoever was chosen by them. Meanwhile, a number of other coustitu encaes have invited Mr. Wignall to con- sider nomination in la bour interests.
