'Grasp the nettle boldly, and it does not jting. Attacking Oil tnat principle, and 4rith the aid of tne tremendous factors of curprisc ilid II L y, which explain the un- tiampied rapidity nnu dimensions of the Austro-Gernian successes in Italy, Sir Julian fcyng and hiz, Third Army—an ajl British islands Army—havo achieved one of the inc;t sudden and sweeping coups 01 ;he whole war. Attacking on a front of 'thirty miles between the Sea roe, near Arras, jtrid St. Quentin, thrusting towards St. Quentin in the south and (Junobrai. in the north, and the valley of the ScheIdt-which Jinks the present battlefield with the goal of kur desires, Antwerp—our Third Army in one great blow swept clean away the Hin- denburg or Seigfned line, of fabulous strength, taking advanced line, main line, And support line, storming villages almost by the dozen, reaching within easy range of Cambrai, and opening up the richest hopes for the near future. What, it took us upon the Somme vast slaughter and months of efforts to achieve, the penetration on a nar- row front of the enemy s permanent defences, we attained in one day, and with little loss, How was it done ? Surprise and mobility. Surprise was the predominating circumstance 0" which explains this victory, perhaps. The orthodox trench warfare battle begins with a long artillery preparation, lasting many! -weeks, and an infinity of labour and study in the preparation. The enemy, of course, masses men and guns to meet the anticipated; onslaught, and when it is delivered, after it-P initial successes, it is checked and cven- tually stopped. On the Scarpe-St. Quentin front there was no such preparation (which incidentally saves the country seme millions of pounds) The enemy never expected an attack. This front had been somnolent since the battles of April and May. There had been nothing more than an occasional trench' raid and artiTlfery "strafe." The main mass: of the British Army find of the German Army had been attracted to Flanders, where a prolonged-and bloody struggle was gradually dying down. The Germain line was lightly held. It had been stripped of aeroplanes (only five were seen on the battle- front, a most important fact). Mi&nce was pl ced in the innate strength of the defences to hold up any sudden attack until the men, who are the real strength of the defencc, I could be amassed in adequate strength. The line itself basked in the prestige of the men who baptised it. Acres and thickets, of wire, olid masses of concrete, dug-outs deeper than any shell ever dived into mother j earth, labour-saving battle machinery, and machine-guns in profusion—in all these the hope A'as placed for repelling any at- tempted surprise until the normal defensive methods of the massing of men and guns could be brought into operation. Even 1 though the German line at this point was weak in men and artillery, the decision of Sir Julian Byng required the highest moral courage. No attempt was made to level the defences by artillery fire; and tharfc meant that if the tanks, which were to be the sub- stitute for an artillery preparation, did not gchieve all that could be expected of them,! the risk was run of a great massacre of our men, held up in front of the acreages of bed wire. I' The Germans (and we, for that matter), I had forgotten all abcttjt the tanks. Frankly,, we have been a little disappointed with the latter this year, after what we had seen of I their actual achievements on the Somme. On the Scarpe-St. Quentin front, where herds of thest moneters (l been collected, they had a fafr field. and a certain amount of favour There was ro grtct artillery cor- j cervtration to make each the target for iâmi; of shells gi&fciid ifrm;-dry* a rolling open. pWi^ the antithesis of the, noisome, shell-riddled bogs of Flanders—a clean, wholesome country, not a devil's lough of despond. And there were num- bers of the tanks, far more than we ever saw on, the Somme. So, when they rolied, forward in the dim dawn of last Tuesday, all. things favoured them, and all that we had been led to hope for from their achievements j on the Somme was attained. They rolled down miles of the wire; they squirmed up to and silenced the machine-gun points; they annihilated every physical obstacle to the advance of our infantry, and all that the latter were called upon to do at the outset was to pour over the firm springy turf and garrison the lines where the dazed remnants of the enemy were crouching. Surprise and mobility; the battle was a pie-eminent exhibition of both. The element of mobility lay in the hardness of the ground, the dry weather and the speed of the tank. In a day we were five miles behind the I enemy's permanent lines; on the bomme that advance took, at least two months of most bloody battle. So far deep had we I gone, so clear and free of the hampering trenches and wire, that our cavalry in large numbers poured forward and galloped here, [ there and everywhere, and stretched their cramped limbs in a gloriaiii and most rare freedom. In the result the Hindenburg line; disappeared; what lies before us we do not know, but we are justified in hoping that we have broken in twodnys the back of the most arduous work in this region, and t-hat If we desire a break through—and why in heaven's name should not that be a legiti- mate aim of all our operations in France— we have the finest opportunity of effecting I it that we have ever had so far in the West. Let us pray, therefore, that Byng will be, tHe to develop his great success with the same rapidity as Mackensen exhibited on the tsonzo. It would be deeply disappointing If we were again to halt, when on the verge bf clear country, and wait for the enemy to tummon op his reserves, throw up freah de- fences, and eventually halt us again. Let tte pray that Byrig will push bit with all the speed he may; and that even as Mackensen I rolled at Cadorna's line Byng may be able 'to 41fect the, same breathlessly speedy and start-link"rev.olution in the West. Why not We have a uniquely favourable chance of I bringing it about. It has got to be done 80m.. tUlt6 or we shall never win the war. There are manv points about this vic- tory, which so radiantly brightens up a ?ky that had been gloomy and lowering enough; in all conscience, which call for attention. The Hindenburg line was weak, not only in men, which may have been due to deliberate policy, but in aeroplanes. We can under- stand that the enemy should have taken a t risk in the matter of men, and it is not neces- sarily explained by the theory that Flanders and Italy have left him without the power to maintain adequate local re- terves. But there should always have been, maintained on so great a sector a corta-ini equipment of aeroplanes to maintain a daily irigil. Hardly a sign, however, was noted: nt the outset of the enemy'a aerial service, j Only two machines were met with at all on; the opening day. The only inference is tjbat, despite the bravo show they make, the, ahemy. is. hi reality hard pressed for r machine?. He can be strong enough at the obviously salient points. But he has noth- tnji in hand for the points that are not J tobvio»wly salient He has in this case been convicted of denuding an important rtreteli nf line of one essential part of its equipment.. A case can be made out for denuding it of 111"11, hijt. that very circumstance should only have sharpened the alertness of the: l/v>k-ont. But it was not sharpened it, was biniifed a proper complement- of aircraft] was lacking. Snrnrifx* such as Bync effected nitist bo rare, but they hold wrt;. when successfully brought- nfL opportunities ns rich as they are rarn If the German line had been ntrongly manned gunned, surprise would have been almost impossible: the tanks would have had to advance against "nbrokon for- tifications into a deadly IStorm of shells. Again, the ground must be hard, permit- ting of good going. It was so in this case. The Scarpe-St. Quer.tin httack, with its dis- tinctive feature ot the entire replacement of t artillery by the tank, bears out, moreover, I that the immense accumulation of heavy guns and artillery may in certain unusual conditions be dispensed -:t-h, and that there is only one alternative to its most thorough use—and that is no use at all, upon the scale with which we have become familiar prior to an attack. We had either to bombard for many days, and so give away the secret of the attack, or attack without bombardment and depend for the destruction of obstacles, inert like wire or animate and active like machine- gun points, upon something else, which we possessed in the tanks. Sir Julian Byng, de- spite the moral courage which the ordering of a surprise attack calls for from a general, thus shows that he acted, nevertheless, not only with a splendid audacity, but with a calculating thoroughness which establishes for him a very high reputation. He elected on a surprise, because all the conditions were propitious, and the risks of his strategy were minimised as much as possible. All i that remains for him to round off the vic- tory in triumph is to exploit it as speedily I audruthlesslyas possible. He is a cavalry- man, and there lies before him as such a field for the cavalryman's characteristics of swiftness of movement as any general has had in the West in the last three years. ——— -———

[ Admiral Lord Charles Beresford's enthusi- astic and whole-hearted reception at. the Swansea meetings he addressed on Sunday is a vindication of the economic boycott which the seamen are bringing to bear against the Huns for their barbarities on land and sea, if any vindication is needed. The part the British mercantile marine have played, and are playing, in the war, was aptly dwelt upon by the breezy admiral, and it is satis- factory to know that as the result of the gatherings the Seamen's Benevolent Homes will considerably benefit. There was only one disentient from the proposed boycott, and in view of the many hundreds compos- ing the two audiences this speaks volumes for local feeling and sympathy with the sea- men's cause. Some may think that tho effective retaliation of refusing .to salute the German flag, carry German gQOds, or trade with German porta after the war is rhetori- caJ camouflage that may not be taken seri- ously, but both Lord Beresford and Mr. J. Haveloek Wilson scotched this unwarranted impression md gave it out clearly that the boycott, which is to last for at least two years, is to be carried out. This businesslike and practical move touches the Germans in their tenderest place —their pockets. The seamen have already made their power ffectively felt in refusing to carry the peacemongers to Petrograd. and with their well-equipped organisation they are capable of seeing the boycott through, and what is more they are bent upon it. It is generally recognised that their action is only a ju.t retribution on the merciless enemy who sunk hospital ships on sight and boast of their fiendishness now they are to be repaid, not in their own coin, but in the only practical manner possible. Already, as Mr. Havelock Wilson has stated, they are beginning to scream they see the red light on the horizon, and they will now have the fruit-s in a measure of their crimes brought home to them. But no boycott, however complete, will be recompense for their das- tardly crimes against civilisation and all laws human and divine; it will, however, j prove a signal punishment as showing the world's sense of odium of their actions and the British way of enforcing that odium home. The nation is with tha seamen, to whom they owe so great a debt of gratitude. •

The war in the course of the past week underwent a sweeping change. Standing on the Piave, with the knowledge that any fur- ther retreat would deliver into en-.n-xy handb the Queen of the Adriatic, and a round half- dozen of ancient cities, the Italians fought with such, a. spirit that from the Alps to the sea tba Austro-German armies were held in check, and gained ground, where they-gained it at all, by slow and costly stages. In consequence Italian moral was restored, the troops gained renewed confidence in them- selves, and precious time was gained for the approach of the Franco-British reinforce- ments, who had little reason to apprehend the result of any meeting in open country, in a stationary war, or a war of manoeuvre, with German or Austrian. Whilst matters thus turned for the better, for the time be- ing at the least, in Italy, in the West a beam of sunlight broke through the clouds. A British victory, unique in its character, the most notable triumph gained since the trench warfare commenced, raised the richest I hopes for the next few days, which will see their fulfilment, or another disappointment, the more 'bitter because of the rare oppor- tunity that has been presented to us. Taking the German commands completely unawares, Sir Julian Byng, the commander of the Third Army, hacked clean away in a day, with a single blow, a broad belt of the Hindenburg line of great strength. He out six miles deep through the enemy's defences, in the vicinity of Cambrai, upon a wide front, and besides con- siderable trophies, what is still more im- portant, he effected apparently an almost complete breach in the enemy's Western front, and opened up the prospects of, by a rapid advance, breaking almost through into open country, and possibly breaking up the entire German defensive system in the West, which has remained substantially unmodi- fied after three years of carnage. The "whole world awaits with the keenest expectation the events of the next few days near Cambrai. The breach is, as we have stated, six miles in depth; the strongest defences, the, main Hindenburg lino, is, in this sector, wholly in our handa aud some miles in our,rear; such lines as bar our pas- sage to open country must necessarily be weak; moreover, our Third Army is in the field in full force, and the enemy. far the wea ker on the first day in all elements, men, I guns and aircraft, as well as completely deceived and nonplussed. had to rely upon ¡ hastily tummoned up reinforcements. Byng uncovered the nakedness of the enemy's de- fenoe. He showed how, upon a most im- portant sector, the enemy was unable to man it in adequate strength, and had to trust to luck, and to the orthodox warning of the artillery preparation, in this case dis- pensed with, and the strength of his de- fences, to enable him to bring up proper re- inforcements. We had a revelation of the first importance of the straits to which the enemy has been reduced. The victory was a triumph for the tanks. The latter, assembled in a great fleet, a land armada, fulfilled the highest hopes which their trial trip in the battle of the Somme had led us to cherish, and which they bad so far in 1917 failed to fulfil. But they. had a fair field--the ground was hard and deep, j it had been very little cut up by shell fire, the enemy's artillery was weak, and in a couple of hours all was over. Wire had been flattened into the ground, trenches raked from erid to end, machine-gun posi- ) tions pounded into silence. The infantry, ) whose losses are reported incredibly small, had little to do on the first day save to follow in their track and march at their ease over positions which, a year ago, would have de- fied them for months. We may leave the battle at this stage, with the comment that the breaking of the Hindenburg line is in itself only a means to an end, and that the victory is at present in; only an initial stage, and that its later de- velopments may utterly surpass the success, hitherto gained. At the time of writing, however, the Germans are holding their own stubbornly and there is a desperate struggle for the dominance of the Bourlon heights, We await with keen anxiety the course of ) the fighting, and are assured in any cae that the Germans will enter next year's cam.. I paign with the knowledge that their most powerful defences are broken reeds upon which to lean.

The death of &ir Starr Jameson, pioneer and Prime Minister, and chairman of the Chartered Company, has an interest to Swansea, for in the famous Jameson raid of December, 1895. Dr. Willie Davies, the son of the late Dr. Ebc-nezer Davies, Swansea s respected borough officer of health for very many vears, was also cne of the leaders who afterwards served a ,term of in-iprisonrpent over unlawful invasion of the Transvaal.

It was only later that the scene,, was explained, much to Mr.* Dftvics s embarrassment. The attractions of the Xmas pudding must account for it! The tickets for the Swansea Master Bakers Whist Drive on Thursday have gone like hot cakes and there are no more to be had. The attraction perhaps is the drawing that is to take place for a parcel of ingredients that will make a 201b. Xmas pudding! The subsequent dance, for whioh an hour's extension has been granted, should not be in it with this big draw.

I The recently-formed South Wales Metal Merchants' Protective Society at Swansea; has quickly made its influence felt in that the Ministry of Munitions have intimated that they are prepared to receive a deputa- tion to hear the merchants case The sys- tem of Government control and fixed prices has been followed by the Government buy- in," direct, -with the result that the mer- chants find themselves largely displaced.

Mr. Havelock Wilson ga,ve a, personal illustration at the Swansea Chamber of Com- I merce meeting of how easy it is to misunder- stand people and what little difference there is really between them when they come to- I gether m personal touch. Mr. Wilson waa travelling in a railway carriage on one occa- sion when a stronger spoke strongly against labour leaders in general, and as for Have- lock Wilson, "well, he ought to be shot." For two hours they chatted, clearing up a lot of misunderstandings, 'll d then Mr. Wilson disclosed his identity. The stranger waa flabbergasted. "What!" he said "are you Havelock Wilson?" "Y ea," was the reply, "I am that individual." His sur- prise developed into the closest personal friendship, which lasted for twenty yfears, up to the stranger's death. I A Swansea correspondent contributes to the Nation" an interesting letter on the) butter problem, reminding readers that in South Wales the staple food for those who j carry meals with them to munition or othet works is bread and butter," for which none of the suggested substitutes are possible." The correspondent says he was travelling on, a market day in company with a numlfer ot I women. One had a crock containing about' 81b. of butter. She had gone some distance by train to a farm to secure it. Another an- • nounced that she had a promise of 501b. the following week from one farm, and 151b. j from another. They agreed in saying that no butter was being brought into market, that people were buying direct, from the farms, and that farmers" w'ves were keeping butter back for their own relations. The amount used per head seems to be from twice to three times the lOoz, of all tats in the :iew scale. Like the "running brook" is Mr. Roger j Beck's beneficence. Now it is "Brooklands" for the orphans. We are to have peace in Swansea on Sun- days, for henceforth thote are to be no more "peace" meetings. People sav farmers are too twp' to form a Union, but let us show we are not," said a speaker at a fanners' meeting at Carmarthen on Saturday. The lockgatemen of a dock in a West I Wales port west of Swansea do not lead a madly exciting life, seeing that it is a month since a ship entered the dock. It had to come! A prize of five pounds of butter is being offered for each of the suc- cessful choir conductors at a forthcoming West Wales eisteddfod. Such enterprise de- serves its reward. Mr. Ben Tillett, M. P., told his Swapsea audience that lie wes an old sailor, had licked salt, and had eaten buscuits contain- ing enough animalculas properly harnessed to I push the Niagara. Falls. A proud possessor of a pound of butter "captured" in Swansea Market, ascribes his j I success to his past experiences in getting in ) and out of Cardiff Arms Park, always the j worst football enclosure in Wales! II j Admiral Lord Charles Beresford paid the Swansea NavaJ Brigade the distinct com- pliment of inspecting them individually, as I well as collectively, and "Charlie" is a bit j of a, judge, so that his subsequent high com- pliments made the youthful chests expand I' I some. Farming is more or less a controlled in- dustry and farmers are justly entitled to fly I a flag outside their farms similar to muni- I tion factories.

"1381, my lord," an- swered tho instructor. Oh, I can easily beat yon," cheerily replied the admiral, I joined in the fifties. He then shook hands and remarked."
