BRAVE SWANSEA OFFICERS. Some time ago we announced, that 2nd- Lieut. Pcreival Hay, Welsh Regiment, had won the Military Cross. Lieut. Hay is the eon of Mr. George Hay, of Ayles- bury-road, Swamsea, the well-known ac- countant and cricketer. It is officially announced that Lieut, Hay endeavoured on two occasions to reach a party of men who had been cut off by the enemy, and I only desisted when most of his men were put out of action. Temp. Lieutenant (acting Captain) Albert Peregrine Lloyd, of the Welsh Regiment, also in the list of Welsh officers who were awarded the MiE- tary Cross in Feh. ruary Ifest, is & soi of Mr. Dl. LIoT-ri of the Promenade. Swansea. He at- tacked a large party of the enemy and captured 50 of them. Later he dug in and held his ground for nearly 24 hours after the centre of the lino had been I driven in by a counter-attack. Lieut. Lloyd is now at home, suffering from a 1 wound-in the wrist, received during this Migageiaeak

NEW SWANSEA I I OPPOSITION SWEPT AWAY After three days' hearing, the Swansea Corporation Extension Bill has been ordered to proceed by the House of Commons Select Committee, sub- jtxjt to the adjustment of various minor clauses. Evidence was given by Mr. Heath, Bor- ough Surveyor ot Swansea, as to the main road from Llansamiet to Morriston, that the Corporation proposed to widen, and to the fact that the County's suggested by-pass road would then not be necessary. Mr. Lang Coath, Town Clerk, also gave evidence its to the refusal of the Road Board to contribute to the Counts Coun- cil's proposed bye-pass road, oontrary to the statement by the County Council that the Road Board favoured the scheme, and would be prepared to contribute towards it. Mr. Geo. Albert Phillips, Surveyor to the County Council, then gave evidence <m behalf of that body, and eventually the chairnjm sgid: Really, I think it is a perfect waste of time to go on! The County Surveyor has just said that, al- though the Corporation scheme is not as good as that of the County, he was pre- pared to accept that for the present. The Committee are quite willing to incorpo- rate the Corporation's clause in the Bill, and 1 think the County Council ought to accept it. If they do not, we shall make the Order anyway, but 1 thought it would be better for them to accept than have anything imposed. Mr. TVeenian (for the Glamorgan County Council): I am sorry to appear difficult to tiatii,f;v-. \6. will take what they offer, but we want it effective, and certain to be carried out. After examining the alternative classes submitted, and with the aid of Col. Norton in consultation, the chairman said:-— We will make one further suggestion. We are making a little, alteration in the addition to the Corporatiog clause put forward by Mr. Lloyd. In the event of the Corporation nor the Caunty Council being able to obtain powers to make up and improve the road, then the Corpora- tion shall proceed with a town planning scheme for this area, such scheme to in. elude an alternative road to that now existing. Mr. Lloyd: We have no objection to that. The chairman: Well, that is our deci- sion. Is there any further opposition now on the part of the County Council to the extension of the borough boundaries ? Mr. Freeman (after consultation): Nü, «lr> I don't propose to proceed any further j now. The Chairman: Very well. The only other case is that of the Swansea Gas Company. We dismiss the Company's j petition, and find the Preamble proved. Mr. Yesey Knox, K.C. tfor the Swansea Rnral_ Council) s-aid there were various clauses for their protection which had been agreed upon. and there would be no trouble froin that po:?nt of view. There was one other matter. There had just been introduced in the House of Commons a Bill postponing all electims,.and there were to be no local elections until the end ..f March. The Order comes into opera- tion on November Sth, 1918, and under the New Bill there could be no election. there woutd have to be some alteration. Probably the date of the coming, into operation of the Order would be post- poned as far M elections were concerned till April 1st next year. The Chairman and Mr.$doyd. both thought this wan a matter that had better be settled in the next House, and this was agreed to. The various clauses were then,.Vore through and adjusted, and the public pro- i'4fP, terminated. I Effect erf Swansea's Added Acres. I The Swansea Extension Bill is of course not yet law, but there is every probability that the recommendation of the Select Committee of the House of Commons will be confirmed, in which caae the Greater Swansea will come into being, though in practice it may be some little time before the actual change takeg place. thus hf.vc-grown from a town of 6,229 acres to one of 24,193 acres. It will, become the fifth town in England and Wwles in point of acreage, and its population of 165,000 and its ratable value of J3715,000 will give it twentieth place in those respects. It is interesting, for the sake of comparison, to note that Cardiff's acreage is 8,095, its population 190,600, and its ratable value £ 1,219,000. While therefore we have trounced the so- oalled metropolis" in point of acreage (having now reached a stage when ne can look down upon the little east Wales town, only about one-third our size) we have a good'deal of leeway to make up in other. respects. Welsh towns, by the way, now stand in the following order, in -po,i-nt of acreaV;-I. Swansea; 2, Welsh- pool; 3, Meithyjr. If the fthondda, with its acreage of 23,885, ever realises its 'dream of incorporation, Swansea TfHI have to take second place. The election question has been referred to in the Parliamentary report; and it may be added that. if the new Municipal Elections Bill becomes law. the new Cor- poration will not be el ectod until March of next year. Whenever it is elected, it will be a complete election; all the aldwrirfen =P and councillors, even aldermen whoee time has not expired, will have to come before the electorate. As to Parliament the Borough Extension Scheme doee not affect this. It has been decided that Swansea is to have two member*; and that will remain the position of the old borough. All the added are, and will remain, in the Gower D'vision. What will be gained by the town and by the added areas as a result of the extension of t he borough, the ad- vantages in the long ran will be mutual, but in most respeofes the dis- J trict are the greater gainers. The town will hare- an added preetige in Parlia- I ment and elsewhere; and all such ochem-es a,5 asylums, sewer works, and other constructive masters, will be more economical to both town and district. Congratulations from Sir Alfred Mend. Sir Alfred Mond has written as follows to the Mayor.- I am delighted to hear that the | Swana Extension Bill bae been pa,d j by the House o? Ccmmons Ccmmittep. and ihust congratulate you and thoso associated with you on the successful outcome of jour efforts. I sincerely hope that the opposition to this measure is now definitely with. drawn. and that a scheme of such great importance for the future of Swansea will now be proceeded with without further difficulty."

AMMANFORD C.O.'s. At the- Carmarthenshire Appeal Tribu- nal at Llandilo, two Ammanford brothers appealed on conscientious grounds against military service, because it conflicts with the laws of Christ." Mr. Pilgrim Morris, National Service representative (to one of them): Did not your father some time ago take cut a summons against you for assault ?—Yes, but, it was not proved. The chairman (Mr. Wm. Griffiths) Do you wish, us to believe that your father summoned his eon without some reason for it? t Appellant: He summoned me for an as- sault I have not committed. I have no reason to give for his action. Both appeals Tert, dismissed^

LITIGANT AND JUDGE f Mr. Trueman's Defence of his I Veracity. At Neath County Court on Wednesday, Mr. Clement R. Truemun applied to his Honour Judge Lloyd Morgan, K.C., for a new trial of a case brought by Mr. Ed- mund Law, mousy lender, for poesestion .If a houee in Pen rhetwyn-etreet, ]uag- laent for which was given against Mr. II Trueman at the last court. If you grant my application," said Mr. Trueman, you will prove that I aml no perjuror. I would give the last two yeara of my life to hear you eay &o That is the value I place upon my vei??citv." Mr. Lovat Eraser, who appeared for Mr. Law, eaid that every statement made by Mr. Trueman oould be denied. His Honour refused to grant t'he appli- cation. Mr. Trueman thereupon applied for a copy of his Honour's notes. His Honour: No; 1 do not think it is a caM I am justified in doing such a tiling. Mr. Trueman directed his Honour'6 at- tention to some notes in Mr. Law's diary, and after perusal his Honour said it did not affect his decision. Mr. Trueman: Why, those books would not deceive an office boy. His Honour: That may be. Mr. Truf). man. I do not want to argue the matter any further with you.. Mr. Trueman: Will you allow me— His Honour: I will not allow you to make any more observations. I do not ,t.)-ink any Judge on the County Court Benell would give you more careful con- sideration. Mr. Trueman closed his attache case with a bans, remarking" and 1 arp. very thanklul to you for your consideration." Mr. Irovat Eraser said possession hail. Dot yet been given up. and Mr. Trueman replied that he still retained the key be- cause he had not yet disposed of all hi j articles. I have bad to get rid of hun- t'dreds of pounds of stock for a small euro." added Mr. Trueman. But," continued Mr. Trueman, if Mr. Law wants possession let him come down and tako possession if he wants to be tarred and feathered." Mr. Eraser: That will do, Mr. Trueman. Mr. TTueman: I am not talking to you. I make my application to his Honour not to counsel. Ar>.d I say again if Mr. Law wants to get tarred and feathered let him come down to me. TTis-oorour: That will do. Mr. Trueman then left the Court shout- ing across' the table, Good morning, Mr. Law!

HOW PILES ARE CURED WITHOUT AN OPERATICfi. Trained Nurse divulges a valuable Pro- I fessional "cret. Says there is no -j excuse for anyone continuing to suffer now. For nearly six years I was aiHicted al- most constantly with serious piles in o n, form or another. I doubt whether there is a single patent or other method of treatment which I did not try, but only temporary benefits rtsijl ted, aAd often no benefit at all. For 4 long time the DéSt iiiedioal 42vied pfoved unavailing, ointments, suppositories, etc., all failed; even an operation afforded no ).e-rlp-alnent relief. I have since concluded that operations for piles may often be like pruning a tree; that is, they stop the growth in one spot but only to promote more rapid growth at other points. Neces- sary as operations may undoubtedly be, in raany very serious cases like fistula, tumours, etc.. I do not consular cutting ever to be necessary for the curing of simple piles, haemorrhoids, etc. My advice to those who suffer the misery and torture I once endured is to obtain from any chemist a little prepared nemolin, the soothing, cooling, antiseptic and wonderfully healing agent which.doc- tors so often prescribe for very bad skin afflictions, such as excema, aone, etc. Nemolin has no astringent effect, being absolutely non-poisonous and perfectly harvaleow. :ki.ost pile treatments depend upon shrinking the swollen tissues with astringents, and as piles are primarily a state of blood congestion, SUM temporary measurew are all wrong and simply in- crease the congestion. For permanent results the circulation must be locally stimulated, thus dispersing all conges- tion. Any chemist will have ordinary nemolin in stock, or easily obtain it for you from hip wholesale dealer. It was on the advice of one of our greatest special- ists in skin and rectal disorders that 1 tried nemolin two years ago, after every- thing else had failed. It produced a com- plete cure within two, weeks, and from that day to this I have never known what it was to endure the intolerable pain., itching. whing, burning and smarting of piles. Only thoee who suffer as I on&» did esa appreciate the in=premus re- lief this was to rae.-H. J. K. 1-.S-If yoa have any difficulty in pro- corinr Kamoliji I would surest you write to a chemist at 67. Bolsover-street, London. W. 1.. who I know always has it in stock.

NOT IN THE QUOTA. I In the case of three young colliers charged with being military absentees at Ammanford on Monday, it was contended that the men were not included in the ciuota of men to be furnished by the Ammanford No. 2. Colliery, where thv were employed. It was pointed out that one of the men was married, with domes- tic responsibilities, but he would have joined up had he not thought he was exempt through being not included in the quota. The Bench, regarding the point as one of great importance, adjourned the cat I' for a week, so that a statement might bo obtained from the Divisional Director oi Rooruitinz for South Wales as to th91 existence or not at the moment of an ar. f rar; "ement between the National Service j authorities and 'the Miners' Federation,

'SWANSEA WIDOW'S SUICIDE.

Mrs lmilla Healey, who served as. I housekeeper for deceased, said she had fre-iuently lived with her for the last 10 years. Deceased had been most despon- dent since her husband's death, which took place on February 14th last. It was almost a daily occurrence for her to 6&y eiie could not live without her husband, and that she would have to join him.

The door of the gas stove was wide open and the g'l5 turned on. Her head lay on a pillow near the door on the edge of the oven. She was fully dressed, hut witness knew she was dead. Dr. Knight found deceased lying on the fbor with her head near the stove," and quite dead. He, however, tried artificial respiration for a time, without effect. The cause of death was gas poisoning. 'Coroner: There is not any doubt it was self administered ? Doctor: As far as I can judge, The Coroner advised the jury to return a verdict that death was due to gas poisoning, eelf administered, and they did I so.

(¡aI:eäreet, Ammanford, which had been adjourned following a postmortem exam- j ination eo that the stomach ami its con- tents be sualyged, was concluded on Mon- day evening, before Mr. J. W. Nicholas, connty coroner. Dr. D. Stewart now pro- duped the Mialysis? stating that an exam- ination of the stomach lining showed no ulceration or reddening, and there was no I thickening of the outlet. The contents were found to be acid, and examination for vari- ous roiaonj gave entirely negative re- sults. The analysis, added the doctor, thus excluded the supposition of poisoning, and It was his view that death was due to dis- 4pase of heart muscle, accelerated ty acci- dent at the colliery when deceased sustained a cut on the finger and bore the weight of timber which fell. Questioned by Mr. Rupert Lewis (for the Ammanford Colliery Co., the doctor stated it was true that, death did not take place for 16 hours after the accident, and that deceased made no complaint of having felt the strain, but he accounted for that by the fact that the heart arteries were healthy and the valves competent. At the same time the condition of the heart was bad, and death might have taken place suddenly with no accident. The jury returnc4 a verdict of death from disease of the heart muscle, accelerated by tha accident and the weight of the' timber.

AMMANFORD C.O.'s. At Ammanford Police Court on Mon- day, Evan Lewis Jones. Cefncenii Farm, charged with being an absentee from the Army, stated that he did not join up because of his conscience.

Owen Thomas, Villiers-road, whose appeal on conscientious grounds to Caripart hen County Appeal Tribunal was turned down last Thursday, was also reminded to await an escort, and to pay the costs. Wm. E. Jones, employed at the Wer- noe Colliery, on being similarly charged, said he had an appeal pending, and his case was adjourned for a week. On be- ing required to furnish recognisance for his own appearance, he declined to take the oath, saying that the Bible-forbade to .swear." The Clerk: B-at this is not swearing in the ordinary sense. Defendant, however, was adamant, and would not even make an affirmation. Chairman (Mr. A. E. DuBuisson): If you won't do that we will have to send you down to the cell. Defn dant I will bear the co-nee- j quences. The Deputy Chief Constable: Take hold of the Bible. The defendant simply smiled. Deputy Chief Constable: Are you afraid of the Bible? Defendant (with emphasis): No, it i& my rule of life. Chairman: Look here! We c.a.n't waste time over you Eventually, tho defendant repeated the affirmation, and seemed relieved to find that the word swear" did not occur in it.
