Swansea, Iyho resclled. two children who had lallen into the ISorlh Dock while playing with him. On Tuesday night at the Picnic Com- mittee of the Swansea Master Bakers' As- sociation, it was decided to entertain about 200 wounded aoldiers from local hospitals at Oxwich on Thursday, the 23rd inst. The Clerk (Mr. Eees) at the Swansea Cottage Homes Visiting Committeo held on Tuesday (Mr. W..Mitchell in the chair) reported that there were at present 103 inmates at the instituion. Applications from fanners for help were heard.. Large numbers of friendly aliens (mostly Russians) are attending the re- cruiting office. Nelson-terrace, these last few days, and the majority of them ap- pear to be good material. They evidently prefer to join the British Army to returning to their native land. Uihcial iniormation has b?en received by Mrs. Bevan, of 2H0, Carma rthen-road Swansea, that her husband. Corporal F. J. Bevan, of the Transport Section, Welsh Kegf., has been wounded by shrapnel and is now'lying in a base hospital in France. Prior to his enlistment he was employed by Mr. Tom Hill, hay and corn merchant, Carmarthen-road. Mr. A. Bowen presided at the meeting of the Tawe Lodge Visiting Committee on Wednesday, when the Committee unani- mously decided to recommend to the Finance Committee a supplementary esti- mate of £ 200 for clothing. An inmate said lie had not received any leave for nearly three years. The matter was left in the hands of the master. At the opening of the Swansea Police Court proceedings on Saturday, Mr. A. II. Thomas, on behalf of the Bench, congratu- lated Detective-Inspector Johnson OIl his appointment as superintendent of the Harbour Police. He alluded to the in- spector's long connection with the force and said the harbour authorities could not have made a better appointment. A Swansea business man who, although over military age. joined up soon after the outbreak of war, has just completed 11 months in France. His name is Mr. J. Neagle. formerly of the Prudential As- surance Co. Writing home to a friend he says that it was his great privilege to meet his elder son at You can," he eays. be sure that I am nroud of both my eons the elder one being a sub-lieut- enant and the younger a midshipman, both in the Navy. There was a small outbreak of fire at Messrs. Weaver's Flour Mills, Swansea, early on Friday morning. Under Inspec- tor Evans the Swansea Fire Brigade was soon on the scene, but the conflagration had already been smartly extinguished by the works fire brigade, who deserve to be congratulated on their promptitude. The blaze started in a loft in the mill, and damage amounting to about £ 50 was done j to the woodwork. It is thought that a flaw in the electric system was the cause of the outbreak. Flower services were held at Tabernacle Baptist Chapel. Skinner-street, Waunwen, on Sunday. The Rev. W. F. Knight preached at the morning service and the pastor (Rev. K. J. Willoughby) at both afternoon and evening services. A array of flowers covered the pulpit. A ,Iri-zly of f i oak" musical service was provided in the after- noon to which the following contributed: Misses Irene Summers, Dorothy Phillips, Ci wenda Walters, and Mr. David. Evans. accompanied. The residents of the Orstermouih end of Argyle-street, Swansea, were very much alarmed about three p.m. on Monday. It appears that a miniature whirlwind swept over the bay and displaced about 25ft. of hoarding, and'also bent two trees right to the ground, which broke some windows in their fall. The houses wcie also shaken. Tho phenomenon, which lasted about 30 seconds, also caused a temporary dark- ness in the street It is fortunate that a train was not passing at the time. inas- much as the hoarding must have fallen against it. Mrs. Redmond of 1i), Burmau-street, Swansea, has just heard that her son, Pte. G. Redmond, wna wounded at Yni;es, and is now in hospital in Er.szlund.

Swansea, on Tuesday evening was the scene of a pitched battle between the foreign elements in the neigh- bourhood and the native inhabitants. From what can be gathered it seems that big sticks were used by the foreigners, and it is alleged 111 at knives were pro- duced- The exact incident which led to the ifray it is difficult to trace, bnt from statements which are being made it would appear that- some boys in playing acci- dentally struck with a stone one of the strangers. The man thereupon threat- ened the boy, and was, apparently, in the act of administering chastisement when a woman interfered. This was the be. ginning of what developed to be a stand- up combat. A large crowd gathered, and sticks were freely used. Eventually the police arrived upon the scene and II took the situation in hand. I' BUILDERS' STRIKE. I: Owing to a dispute with regard, it is said, to the wages question, about 50 men, employed in the masonry and building side of the Swan-sea Vale Spelter Works, came out on strike on Wednesday morning. Tho events that led. up to the strike are dmicult to ascertain, but from inform.t- tion received from an authoritative source the following tacts have been adduced:— The men who are <jut were employed at tin* worko by a contractor.
