CHANGED HER MIND. I Girl Who Charged Two Men I With Paternity. At Swansea Quarter Sessions on Friday, before the Recorder (Col. J. Ivor Bowen, J(.C,). Edgar Thomas, a litter employed ar Messrs. Morgan Rees and Co., Morris ton, appealed against an affiliation order made on Jub lItb by the Swansea Justices, awarding is. per week to the rSP()ndent, Hanah Thomas, of Morriston, in re&peet of her child. Mr. Marlay Samson (in- i structed by Mr. Hy. Thompson) was for the appellant, and lir. 1). Roland Thomas (instructed by Mr, T. IL Ludford, Liaii- elJy), for the respondent. I Hannah Thomas said that in February I or this year she told her mother that J.. D. Thomas, tube worker, of Bonymaen, waft the father of the child. Thomas and' a number of wit masses came to the house*, and in the presence of her biother-in-hlw denied this. Mr. Samson: Why did you chacgel Thomas: Witness: I thought I should charge him as he wa.s last walking out with rpe. Thfre I bad I) w ii,?tiuiae. had been no intimacy with J. D. Thomas. Witness also stated that he said: Cheer up; 1 know I am the father of the child, and 1 will par." After several witnesses were called, ap- pellant in the box said that he had never been in Morriston Park with the respon- dent as had been stated by witnoscee. who said, they had seen the two together. Crot«-examiued. he had walked with several girls besides the girl he corrcspon-. dcct with in North Wales. He-examined he denied that ho had any- thing to do with the girl. The Recorder, summing up. said the ciise had given him a great deal of anxiety. It was a very difficult ease. In 93 cases out of 100 these applications were, or were not. successful upon the evidence of tho girl. The great difficulty in the case was the fact that the girl had made a charge against another man. The fact retuainci' I that the girl bad charged J. D. Thomas and afterwards had charged Ecgar Thomas. The respondent had not proved her case to his satisfaction. There Y;f,S lacking that necessary corroborative evi- dence. The appeal was therefore allowed. Xo costs were granted.

The Surveyor reported that n deputation from the van-dwellers from the south side of the line were outside and desired an interview with the Council to know on what term* thev should be allowed to stop where they lived at present. The Surveyor reported that he had served notices on ail the van- dwellers and landownel's to put up sani- tary conveniences. In the discussion that ensued it was stilted that the residents in the vicinity where these van-dwellers stayed objected to thoni. and wanted to get rid of them.

MASQUERADING C.O.'s.
MASQUERADING C.O.'s. —————— Three Absentees Before Bench at Swansea. At the Swansea County Police Court on Saturday. Edward Martin, Albert E. Lewis, and Joshua Evans, were charged with being absentees under the Military Service Act. Capt. Harold Williams said Martin was the ring leader of a gang of imen like de- fendants who gloried in carrying on un- patriotic work." In pre-war days Martin was employed as a tailor, but in 1915 he a colliery. They were engaged in distributing insidious literature. He was a member of the No Conscription Fellow- ship. With regard to Lewis, when arrested by the police, he said: The same old tale, I am a conscientious objeotor." Evans bad stated that he had an appeal pending. The three defendants were combed out col- liers. Corpl. Re a said there was no appeal pending in any of the cases. Martin now said that ever since he had heard Mr. Lloyd George speaking after the Boer war he Lad become a conscientious objector. He had also endeavoured to con- vince other people as well. Before the out- break of the present war he had organised aii anti-militarist demonstration at Gorse- inon. He had also been secretary of the Independent Labour Party. He had be- come a collier because there was no tailor- ing to :)i) done. Lewis said he was proud of the sam-i old tale and would stick to it." The third man still maintained that there was an appeal pending at Pontar- dawe. Capt. Williams preyed for a heavy fine in tho first two cases. The men, heJ- ieg-ed. were masquerading as conscientious objectors for the purpose of evading mili- tary eervice. Martin and Lewis were each fined S5 and handed over to an eeoort, whilst Evans' was also handed over.

BONYMAEN COLLIER. I Charge of Stealing Pavilion Timber i Fails. A somewhat remarkable case was heard at Neath County Police Court on Friday, wc?n OwM Harris, collier, Bonymaen, was charged with stealing timber value 1?. from the pavilion of the Bonymaen Cricket Club and the property of Messrs. Dillwyn tftnd Co., Spelter Works, Llan- naralet. Mr. Bull (Swansea) prosecuted, nad Mr. Windsor Williams defended. P.C. Higginson said he kept watch on the pavilion. At 11 p.m. on Oct. 8th, he heard the sound of hoards being wrenched '•If and saw defendant putting some boards into a bundle. As witness jumped »« to him, he (witness) fell. Witness saw defendant enter his house and lock the door, which he refused to open. Witness admitted in cross-examination that the boards found on defendant's pre- mises were not similar to those missed. He had not put that fact in his report because he did not think it necessary. Mr. Williams: You are one of the typi- cal bobbies. Aid. Hopkin Morgan, (chairman): I don't think you are justified in making such an observation. Mr. Williams: I will apologise. Mr. Wililiams submitted that he had 110 case to answer, as defendant was charged with simple larceny, whereas the evidence was that defendant had com- mitted a felony, and therefore the jus- tices could not deal with it. The Clerk upheld Mr. Williams' point and advised tho Bench to dismiss the case. Defendant was discharged.

I% e.., ?- r I n PACIFISTS…
I e. ?- r I n PACIFISTS AND MINERS; I WHY THE EXTRAORDINARY ACTION IN SOUTH WALES? It is now stated that the Miners' j Federation Executive in London will con- sider aDd" thresh out the combing out" question, which has caused a serious cleavage between them and the South Wales miners. Katherf perhaps, should it ) be said that tho cleavage is between pacifist delegates at the Cardiff conference last Monday, on the one hand, and the whole main body of the Miners' Federa- tion of Great Britain on the other. Matters will also, it is hoped, be cleared up in South Wales among the miners themselves, between now and the taking of the proposed ballot on the mad down tools" policy which is suggested, if the. Government should carry out its comb- ing out scheme of 1914 men without the aid of the uliners. In a protest from Mr. James Meadows, as a working miner, the London Even- ing News quotes the telling and spirited phrases of Mr. W. Brace, M. P., rcgard- ing the shameful trickery involved in the attitude of tho pacifists and their tame followers. ) This, then (says the writer of the pro- test), is what the pacifist has brought us to, a fitting climax, he doubtless thinks, to tho millions of seditious and peace- mongermg pamphlets that have prepared the way. Can it really be that the South Wales miner, whose courage in colliery explo- sions has been acknowledged, an/1 whose boys have so heroically faced and out- -t.Ily faco d and out- witted Fritz, is really unpatriotic? Is this decision a true refection of the Welsh collier? Thank God, it is not! Any such con- clusion must be nailed to the counter as a damnable lie. It is the tarvest of the pacifists' l methods working through the machinery of the Miners' Federation lodges in South Wales, which were long ago cap- tured by Socialist and pacifist nominees. How, then, can it occur that such a decision obtains if the South Wales miner is truly patriotic r It occurred in this wise: The Lodges were invited to send delegates to con- ference to consider the compact entered into between the Government on the one part and tho Miners' Federation of Great Britain en the other part. And when it is considered that the average Welsh miner does not attend his Federation Lodge, whilst the Pacifist never misses a meeting, it can be easily seen how the compact entered into was negatived and a Down Tools policy sprung upon the conference and carried by the delegates, who were largely Pacifists. For to them the nation is nothing. Their chief con- cern in life is to harass the Government and the military authorities to the ut- most. These are the kind of doctrines enun- ciated by the pacifist agitators and in- triguers in our midst. 1. To hell with all but my own class. I stand fo-day as I did on the day of the declaration of this bloody war, unflinch- ingly opposed to it. 1 would -clasp the hand of the German workmen, the Aus- triane, and all fro-called enemies, as I would my fellow-workmen. I am an Internationalist. This war was made by the capitalist for the foods profiteer. 2. 1 am not willing to go to light my- self, and I am going to be no palcty to send others to light rvhere I refuse to go. 3. We have nothing to gain by winning the war. It is a shipowners' and coal- owners' war. Let them light themselves. We could not be vjorce off than we are to- day under the latter.. The enunciation of such doctrines us ] these is embraced by the 1914-1917 shirker j and conscientious objectors who have filled the places left by the voluntary re- fruits of 19JJ. many cf whom, alas! have made the extreme sacrifice. As the Stockholm controversy reduced the Labour attitude to its true perspec- Ii five so I think will shortly foil,??w a r,?- action against Pacifism in South Wales. i The miner is asking himself to-day, "whither am I being led by such 115 I these? 1 have given my sons to this war I in a just cause; I have subscribed freely | j to the War Loan^ for carrying on thi, war to a fitting conclusion, and I all now allowing myself to be used as a tool in Pacitist clutches. I will arouse myself I and shako oif this menace as I would a deadly enake." j And the Welsh miner, when he has j taken stock of the position, can do it. Did he not overthrow his own acting i president of the South Walt's Miners' I Federation in the last Morchyr election j in favour of Mr. C. B. Stanton, the Win-1 thc-War candidate, by a majority of 4.206? j! I am convinced that lie will also over- throw this Pacifist venture with no un- certain vote. This contemplated treachery at the he- hest of Pacifist intriguers will have brought home to the Welsh miner the evil in our midst, which should be shunned as a leper.

WORRIED ABOUT THE CORN.! Cause of Carmarthenshire Farmer's I Suicide. I At an inquest on Lewis Davies (42), far- mer, Pautyderi, Mydrim, near St. Clears, who was found hanging in a barn, the evidence showed that his mother, 81 years of age, finding that, her son had not come to tea, went to search for him, and found him suspending from a beam in the barn by a rope tied round his neck. She called upon her daughter to fetch a knife from the house, arid then cut him down. Deceased, she said, had not slept for three weeks, and for the past fortnight j hud been very depressed, worrying about tlie corn being out and because he could not get men to assist him. The jury found that deceased hung him- &clf whilst temporarily insane.
j TEACHING OF WELSH.I
TEACHING OF WELSH. I At the inaugural meeting of the session of the Carmarthen Cymrodorion Society, Prof. J. O. Stephens, B.A., B-D-, presi- dent of the society, said Cymmrodorion and kindred societies were encouraged in their efforts to cultivate the Welsh national spirit by the general recognition to-day of the rights of small nations. In fostering the mother tongue, they bad certain advantages in Carmarthen. Diffi- culties were being gradually overcome, particularly that snobbish spirit of an- tipathy to Welsh which had prevailed in certain circles in the town. There was sufficient evidence to. show that the sffcoolcbildreri of South Wales towns were not ashamed to speak their native tongue. The Rev. D. Tecvvyn Evans, B.A., Bir- kenhead, delivered a lecture- on Ann Griffiths, the Welsh hymnologist." He described Ann Griffiths as the world's best hymn-writer, and said that had she been a member of the Church of Rome I instead of being a humble Welsh dis- senter she would have been canonised long ago. She was, however, "canonised" in a different way—she was enshrined in I the heart, the magnetism and the life of the whole nation. Tho lecturer strongly ¡ condemned the attempts made to im- prove Ann Griiffths* hymns, and said those r?pon'?ble for this vandalism de- i ? served the greatest reproach.

COPPER PiT DISPUTE. (By Our Mining Correspondent.) 111 pursuance of the arrangements made at the last meeting of the Executive j Council of the South Wales Miners' Federation, Messrs.

Morriston, in røgnd to the position of the checkweigher, Mr. Toni "Evans. One result of the steps triken is that an appointment has been secured with the Government Controller of Mines (Mr. Guy Calthrop) to receive a deputation representing the Copper Pit men and the South Wales Miners* Federation, on the subject. Tho deputation, consisting cf Messrs. Frank Bodges (Garw Valley Miners' Agent), Enoch Morel (Merthvr Vale), D. R. Grenfell (Western Miners' Agent). and W. P.

I ANTHRACITE WINERS I
ANTHRACITE WINERS (By Our Mining Correspondent.) The proposal made by Messrs, I'urnrjs. Withy and Co., to undertake the whole of ] the supply and transport of coal to France has aroused considerable discussion ard anxiety among the miners and thc-ir leaders in the Anthracite District of West Wales, and the new at present taken is that, if accepted by the Government, such a scheme would probably lead to disastrous consequences in that area. In a brief interview which I had this morning with Mr. J. D. Morgan, J.P., of Ystradgynlais, the chief agent of the Anthracite Miners' Section of the South Wales Miners' Federation, that gentleman remarked that, judging from the meagre information to hand concerning the scheme, it gesmed to him that (hero were ftrong i-eason-i why tlie We;-t Wales men. like the coalowners and exporters, should oppose it. Finding the whole of the coal, which was the gist of tho projcct, meant that the £ rm mentioned could get the coal from wherever thpy liked, and in all probability they had facilities cf their own for secur- ing the necessary output, or they would not make such an offer. Many of the Anthracite collieries of West were now working only about half time, and others were idle through lack of tonnage. Taking away their present sources of fhip- ping orders would necessarily decrease (he output still further, and would be n, very serious matter for ti>ou?aads cf miners in this district.
