FOR KITCHENER'S ARMY. REMARKABLE DEMONSTRATION AT MILFORD HAVEN. 65 RECRUITS IN AN HOUR. ENTHUSIASTIC SEND-OFF. What was perhaps the most remarkable demon- stration ever witnessed in Milford Haven took place on Thursday-evening. Someone had unkindly com- mented upon the fact that Milford Haven was very slow in recruiting for Lord Kitchener's Army, and that the young men of the town had not realised their duty in this hour of crisis. In the face of the fact that over 200 men, half of them volunteers, are at the present time engaged in one of the most perilous occupations of warfare in sweeping the seas for the deadly German floating mines, and that about 20 Naval Reserves and 5 Army Reserves, with the Territorial Company of 100 men, are also on active service, it is not difficult to see that Milford was already doing nobly on behalf of the Empire. But with regard to Lord Kitchener's appeal, the fact that only a match was needed to be struck to set the heather ablaze was proved on the evening men- tioned. Mr G. H. D. Birt, J.P., had just returned from London, and with his customary energy set to work on Thursday. With the aid of Mr J. B. Gaskell, J.P., and other gentlemen, he hastily ar- ranged for a mass meeting to be held that night. Printing works were commandeered and the town crier set moving, with the result that in the short space of a few hours a remarkable contribution was made to the new army by the young manhood of the town. Mr Birt, the commandant of the local com- pany of the Royal National Reserve, and a body of 100 men assembled at the Parish Church at <h\ with the clergy and ministers of the town, and H. Company 5th Batt. Welsh Regiment (Merthyr) stationed at Milford Haven, and headed by the splen- did band of the Brecknockshire Regiment, marched down Charles-street to Victoria-road, over to Hakin and baCk to Hamilton Terrace parade. Iutliemein-I time a huge crowd had gathered, and when the speakers took their seats on the platform there must have been a concourse of between 2,000 and iI,())() people assembled. Viewed from the char-a-banc it was a remarkable scene, a veritable sea of faces. The Reserves and Territorials lined up in front, and it was interesting to note the appearance of several Belgian fishermen, who, ranging themselves between the Territorials, showed great enthusiasm. On the platform were Mr Birt, Mr Gaskell, Revs. E. J. Howells, W. II. Prosser, D. Garro-Joucs, E. V. Tidman, John Lamb, J. Evans, Father Hope, and Mr W. C. Whittow, chairman of the Urban District Council. Mr Birt said Young men of Milford, your King requires your services. Anno domini has made it impossible to give my services but I have done the next best thing—I have given my two sons to the service of the King. (Cheers). My only reason for telling you this is to prevent the possibility of any man saying, '• Why don't you go and do what you are asking us to do." There is no man or woman here that does not recognise the perfectly obvious fact that this grand old nation of ours is at the present moment going through the most serious crisis in its history. Within a very short time every man of us will be compelled by conscription to do his duty to his King and country. We all know conscription is not popular; it never has been and probably never will be; but don't you forget the fact that the true hero is the man who comes forward to act on his convictions. There will be no trace of heroism in the men who are compelled, whether they like it or not, to do their obvious duty. I am here to appeal tc ',he single young men of Milford, between the ages of 19 and 35, to come forward and do their duty to- night. He asked the young men what would they say to their children in future years when they asked what part their fathers took in the war of 1011 ? The man who had to confess he took no part in it will only show his children he was an arrant coward. Stating briefly what we are fighting for Mr Birt said this was a just and righteous war, and if it were not lie asked would they have had the ministers of all religions at the head of the procession and on that platform ? He concluded with a ringing appeal to the young men to put down their names for Lord Kitchener's Army. Instantly a young fisherman, George Hyatt, ascended the platform and in a few minutes was followed by a dozen young fellows. Whilst the work of enrolment was proceeding the band played patriotic airs, and at intervals speeches were made. Another remarkable feature was the prominent part taken by the ministers of religion whose presence was compelled by the country's righteous cause. ev. E. J. Howells, vicar, said that though too old tp go hirpself to the front, at half-past four the next morning be was taking bis son to join the Welsh Regiment at Cardiff. He was to proceed to Oxford at ap early date but even a University career must wait in the face of the danger threatening onr grand gld nation. Rev. D. Gqxro-Jones aaid he was ready to do all in his power to help his country. His only son was now seryipg his Ring and country. His appeal was that Wales, gallant little Wales, should be in the front with the rest of the kingdom in the work of recruiting for this great army. The one obstacle to liberty was in Qermany. England, he addpd, led in the fight for freedom. Rev. W. H. Prosser said the catise which was taken up by this country was a just cause in the interests of the oppressed and God was with them in the fight, Police-Sergeant Treharne (16), who has volun- teered, was cheered on taKing the platform as an example to young men. ftpv. -Tldrnan said lie was In hearty sym- pathy with the movement, and be would not dare to stand there unless he believed their cause was a just one. He referred to the gallant spirit of the fathers and son;; of that town—200 out on this dangerous mission in the North Sea and 100 at the forts. He appealed to others to follow their example and to come at once and enrol. Amongst the men enrolled was a South African veteran of 42, J. Wainwright, late of the Shropshire Regiment, who is ready to serve his country again. Mr Whittow, as a member of the National Reserves, said if wanted he would be ready as soon as he heard the bugle. Rev. John Lamb made a rousing speech which raised the audience to a high pitch of enthusiasm. He was too old to serve, he said, but he could handle a gun, and could shoot a German if he got a chasce. He earnestly appealed for recruits. Mr T. G. Hancock dramatically sang a verse of T]Ye Boys of the Old Brigade," the chorus being taken up by the crowd. Mr Hancock followed With spirited speebli. I I I Mr bastfell s&id be was delighted with the fine spirit "the men of Milford had already shown in pomitag forward in defence of their country. Mr Birt, ip plosing the meeting, said the result of the e ffort was that (H yoimg men bad eprpljed (loud ppeers). Tliis was the largest number enrolled by any town in the first ime of asking (cheers). Qn tpé following day when he showed £ he narpes to the (general pommandipg the district he was sure he would SAY "Well done, Milford." The least they pould do was to march the men arqund the town. The volunteers were then called to the front, the {iropession was reformed, and proceeded again brough the streets to the Drill Hall. The next day several more men gave their names to Mr Birt at his office, and on Friday night there was an animated scene at the Masonic Hall when four doctors attended and examined the men, whilst a voluntary staff of clerks were kept busy filling in the attestation papers. An insufficient supply of papers was brought down from Haverfordwest and a motor car journey bad to be made to the county town for more. Some of the men failed to pass the medical examination, and a number were kept back under the age limit. DEPARTURE OF THE CONTINGENT. 1 STIRRING SCENES. I Not much time was lost in getting the men off to their depots. Near midnight on Friday and again euri, v on gaturday morning e totvn crier brrt people to their windows with the announcement tpat men mpst attend at the J^asonifc !tall qnd would leave at io o'clock. The townspeople were asked to g;ve tfrem a good send off and to decopale froqseg and shops, WeeClless tP. say the response was most gratifying. Promply a 10 o'clock an army of men, flsh merchants, packers, labourers, etc from the Docks marched up and led another inspiring demon- stration. The volunteers formed up, and marching into the Hall ascended the platform in answer to the roll call. The names of the different regiments which they bad chosen were read out,—the majority were for the Welsb, and were to proceed to Cardiff, about twenty were for tne Royal Engineers, to Chatham, two R.F.A. Artillery, Preston, Lancashire and one R.A.M.C., Aldershot. The men were in bigb spirits, and they sang the National Anthem and gave three cheers for the King. Thev were afterwards addressed by Col. W. R. Roberts, who said that it was the proudest momeht f i9 life to look "upon ■sucji'-fe }>ody of hs yng fellow townsmen responding to their country's call. ff washed be could go with them, bu{i tpa was not pqssiblp, but tfte Urq'e might cotfle when he would bp e, and If sq Ilp %Vag ready. (Loud cheers). Til pjosing a toucbtpg speeph fhe Cornel washed every Pilo of them Q. safe return to their native town. Spv. F. T. OsNyell and Rpv. G. J. Chamberlain also Fessed the company, which afterwards tiled out pinging; to Tipperary." The scene putside was a memorable one. The fishmarket con- tingent led the procession with the bugle band of the 4th Welsh, followed by the clergy, ministers and the gallant recruits. All along Charles Street and Victoria Rpad to the station there was a dense crowd, Bod at the station some touching scenes were wit- nessed. Parents, brothers, sisters and friends assembled to bid farewell to the noble lads, and the train steamed out just about 10.45. In the Welsh Horse are F. George and another. The grand total now from the town as stated is between 400 and 500 men. The total number volunteering -for Kitchener's army is now about 110, and the names of the men accepted and who have gone are:— WELSH REGIMENT. T. Lewis, R. Norman, A. J. Mills, T. Keegan, G. H.

Haverfordwest "War" Prices- PALL IN PGTC- QF FLOUR. I ABUNIPANOE OF LOCALLY GROWN I FRUIT. Since the outbreak of war there has been a marked decline in the price of flour and foodstuffs charged by local tradesmen, Flour has fallen 5s to 6s a sack, and sells now at lijd and 2d per lb. Barley meal and Indian corn have also been reduced, both being now retailed at 19s per sack. The prices charged for sugar are the maximum allowed by the Board of Trade official scale, viz.: Granulated 3d, and lump 41d per lb. There is no prospect of any reduction here, because of the non- importation of sugai"fr6ni Germany. Bacon is retailed in Haverfordwest at Is and Is 3d per lb, according to put apd quality. Not for many years has locally grown frqit been so plentiful, and cqqsegueotly the prioes are abnor- mally low. Tons of damson plums have already been sent ipto Haverfordwest from the 81ebech gardens, where the treea are bending almost to the groqnd under the mass of fruit. These plum3 are being retailed at lid per Ib, Victoria plums at 3d and 4d per lb, and magnums at 4d per lb. Apples are being sold at Id and IXd per lb, although one Haver- fordwest tradesman is selling apples grown in his own orchard at the remarkably low price of d per lb. From Slebech have also come large quantities of choice black grapes, which are being sold at prices ranging from Is to Is ()d per lb. The Slebech grapes were many years ago noted at Covent Gardens for their bloom and quality.

Liberal Club.—At the monthly meeting of the Haverfordwest Liberal Club held last evening the following resolution was passed" That we desire to assure those who have relatives at the front, that we share with them their concern for those who are engaged in upholding the honour of their country. We pray that their intervention may result in. breaking the yoke of militarism with the burden and dread of which we have been too long haunted, and we trust that our friends may lie spared to return to us again when the conflict is over."

NEYLAND COUNCIL. PEACE IN WAR TIME. ——— I Harmonious Proceedings. I Territorials and the Water Problem. Mr J. Skone, chairman. presided at Monday night's meeting of the Neyland Urban District Council, the other members present being :-lteesrs J. Hier, G. M. Voyle, R. Thomas, W. Berry, Edwards, and Phillips. A HIGH STREET IMPROVEMENT. A letter was received from Mr Sackville Owen of the Picton Castle Estate Offices, intimating that Sir Charles Philipps would be pleased to grant the Council permission to remove the small hedge across the hack road at the rear of Mr Hall's oremises in High Street. PAVING AND LIGHTING. The paving and lighting committee submitted the following recommendation Tha.t-the action of the Surveyor and the Chairman-of the Council and of the Committee in the purchase of lamp protectors be removed, and that the Surveyor's action in completing the extra work on the Private Street Works in Honeyborough be approved." Mr Hier pointed out with regard to the first recommendation that the Council entered into an agreement with Mr Rowlands to purchase a certain number of protectors, but when the gas manager (Mr Evans) made an inquiry it was found that Mr Rowlands bad received an intimation that owing to the war the wholesale firm could only supply the articles at an enhanced price. The material was very urgent, and Mr Rowlands was informed that unless he replied by return of post supply could not be guaranteed. In view of these fact3 Mr Evans (the gas manager) interviewed the Chairman of the committee and the Chairman of the council, who sanctioned the purchase at the new price. Mr Yoyle inquired if the enhanced price was above or below that of the second tender? Mr Thomas: Above. Mr Voyle then asked why the second péiorty who tendered was not asked to supply the material ? The Surveyor said that two or three tenders were received, but there was not a big difference in the Krices. After being informed of the facts by Mr owland he interviewed the chairman of the paving and lighting committee and the Chairman of the council, who sanctioned purchase as a matter of urgency. The Chairman remarked that that was not an answer to Mr Voyle's question as to why the second party was not consulted, but Mr Evans said that was the only explanation he had to make. Mr Voyle observed that the business seemed to him to be rather slack. The second party ought to have been approached on the first tender falling through. Mr Hier agreed with Mr Voyle. Mr Voyle moved that the recommendation be not accepted. The Chairman pointed out that the material had already been supplied and accepted by the Gas Manager. Mr Hier said m that case Mr Voyle's resolution, if carried, could only be regarded as an expression of opinion. In matters of urgency the chairman of any committee and the chairman of the council were entitled to act. The Chairman said be had no idea at the time that there was a second tender. Mr Thomas agreed with Mr Voyle as to the course that should have been adopted on this occasion. But they must recognise that prices bad gone up because of the War, and it was only fair to assume that articles coming from Austria, where these protectors were manufactured, would show an enhanced price. It was pointed out that the price bad been increased from 49 Gd to ('3 per dozen. I Mr Voyle &aid that increase represented 33 per cent, but the Chairman maintained that the increase was 25 per cent. Mr Voyle said that if an increase of Is 61 on 4s 6,1 was not 381 per cent he did not know bow to work percentages.. The Chairman You will find I am correct. Mr Thomas failed to see how the Council could get out of the contract now. Almost every article in the market had gone up in price, and this was no isolated case. Eventually the recommendation was accepted, and the committee's report adopted. TERRITORIALS AND THE WATER PROBLEM. The sanitary inspectqr (Mr Evans) reported having served a statutory notice of abatement of nuisances on the gipsies in Neyland Vale according to the CounciPd instructions, feeing that there was po satisfaction gjvep by the present tap at Honeyborq' well he too tfte responsibility of c^ncpiliqg the qrqer in favotir of the larger tap decided qpqn, and t(,sl$ed if the Cquncif would apprqve his ciQq. Daring the past modtb owing to the qumher of roops )Q the district tQe water supply became acute, aud after poqsqltiqg several officers and examining the yariQqa sources the troops in the field adjoining the promenade were now being supplied with water from the pump in Xensington lioad, The Iqspectqr also reported that the G.W.H. Co. had fixed a large tap near the entrance to Railway Terrace a-nd he asked for instructions as to when the wakter from this service was to be used. In conclusion, the Inspector stated that the town was free from infectious disease, One fatal case had oocurred, but the house was disinfected as soon as possible, MEDICAL OFFICER ON ACTIVE SERVICE. I The public health committee recommended that the Local Government Board be informed that the County Medical Officer of Health is now acting as District Medical Officer of Health in the temporary absence of Dr. Tolputt, who is on active service. The committee further recommended that a statu- tory notice be served on the gipsies in Neyland Vale; that a brass tap 1? inches full bore be fixed on Honeyborough well, and that the tap in Railway Terrace be kept locked and that it be used only as an auxiliary to the pnmp in Cambrian Road. The Surveyor said that some people were under the impression that the water in Railway Terrace should be always available. The Chairman pointed out that the tap in Railway Terrace was only intended as auxiliary to the Ca brian Road supply. CANNOT AFFORD, A SEWAGE SCHEME. ¡ } I Mr ?erry asked where w.as t e sewage supppsed to ?be?ken fro te back ? of ?igh gtfeet He to tbee was qdite a ?o?d aoqulte4 Iq Il qel, aqq i W" langpr6tis to *he'itil., waSs {r (^Tborqas agreed tll??t it ws very offensive.

The same thing was happening elsewhere in the town. ftjr Thomas said that unless devilt with he was afraid the hog wquld become danger-ous, Mr Voyle said the Council must make the best of matters, If they went on like that making moun- tains out of mole-hills, they might be compelled to carry out a sewage scheme, and he oould not see that the town could stand that expense. They must try and meet this surface drainage. I Mr Thomas remarked that to neglect these small matters was just the way to make the Local Govern- ment Board compel them to carry out a drainage scheme. The Chairman thought the suggestion made by the Sanitary Inspector would meet the case, and it was decided to adopt this course. The committee's report was then adopted. HELP WANTED FROM ADMIRALTY. The works committee recommended that the Admiralty be again written to asking for assistance towards the completion of the wall on the beach road. Mr Voyle moved an amendment that the matter be deferred until- the war was over Tliph 1 thought they would staM a better chance ol aettina a grMt s?in? bw the Milithry of t?s roau• • R$r Edwa?a ?QQ?p(!

Mr Edwards objected to the paying of the money for painting the street lamps and standards until the work was properly completed. lie alleged that there were standards in Honeyborough which had not been given a second coat of paint as contracted for. To prove this he mentioned that he had himself placed a mark on one of the standards after the first coat was applied, and the mark had not since been obliterated. j The Surveyor said he was satisfied with the work.

Lecture at Hill Park. THE 1909 BUDGET AND BAPTIST I PRINCIPLES. Professor T. W. Chance of Cardiff, delivered a lecture in the Hill Park Chapel, Haverfordwest, on Monday night, on "The land of the Stars and Stripes." Professor Chance confined his remarks chiefly to his visit to the Baptist World Conference in Philadelphia although he had something to say about his experiences elsewhere. He said that Philadelphia was the cradle of the doctrine of immer. sion in the west. In that city there were to-day no fewer than 102 Baptist churches with a membership of about 70,000. It was the centre of Baptist influence in the New England. There a great deal was thought of the work of Mr Lloyd George. In fact his Budget of 1909 was nothing less than Baptist principles applied to the life of Society. Theuegro population of the States' to-day was about tdn millions and two and a quarter million negroes were of the Baptist persuasion. «- Rev. 00. D. Campbell proposed a vote of ybanHs to Professor Chance. Rev. W/Mendus seconded, and expressed the hope that Professor Chance would make a Baptist of the Kaiser. (Laughter). Rev. J. D. Jones, Pembroke Dock, who supported, said it was only by "chance that he came there to bear Professor Chance. (Laughter). Professor Chance having replied, moved a vote of thanks to Rev. W. R. Lewis (the pastor) for presid- ing. The only quarrel, he said, he had with him was regarding an incident that occurred during their walk in the course of the day. He (the Professor) never thought be bore any resemblance to a German, but Mr Lewis bad warned him to be caref ul-(Iaugbter) -when walking in town.

J Red "War Fund" Cards. í j ——- PATRIOTIC EXAMPLE BY PEMBROKE- SHIRE WORKMEN. A WEEKLY LEVY DECIDED UPON. At next Saturday's meeting of the Lord Lieuten- ant's County War Fund Committee. applications for grants will be considered from the county branch of the Red Cross Society and from the Milford Haven Working Party. Many applications from Red Cross Working Parties have been received at headquarters and are being dealt with iu turn. The filling up of the parochial representatives of the Society is approaching com- pletion. The same observation applies to the Soldiers' and Sailors' Families Association, so that ere long the structure of both these organisations in the county should be completed. It is too early yet to say to what extent the collecting cards will be taken up in the villages, but there seems every willingness to make use of the Red War Fund cards. A good example in this respect has been set by the work. men at Messrs J. Rees & Sons, Lan Mills, Narberth, .who have voluntarily agreed to levy sixyence per week so long as the war lasts, and it is interesting to note that the employers have generously agreed to supplement this contribution. If this patriotic attitude be adopted by employers of labour generally in the county the success of the Red War Fund cards will be assurd. A similar example has been set by the South Wales miners who have voluntarily agreed to a levy, and it is interesting to note that at Good- wick many employers are doing the same. Every possible effort will be made on behalf of the Lord Lieutenant's Committee to get the Red War Fund card into every house in the county. At present it is hardly realised how much will be required during the war to support the dependants of those fighting and for various other purposes. To meet these claims the raising of a substantial sum weekly is an urgent necessity.

Saved Four Soldiers' Lives. GALLANT HAVERFORDWEST LIEUTENANT. This week we have pleasure, through the courtesy of the "South Wales Daily News," in reproducing the photograph of Lieut. Williams, son of Mr R. T. P. Williams, Haverfordwest, who last Sunday week saved four soldiers' lives at Angle, including that of Captain Roderick, Llanellv. Al- though suffering from a cold at the time Lieutenant Williams, seeing the Terri- torials in imminent peril, promptly jumped into the water and, in spite of the strong tide that was runn- ing at the time, succeeded in rescuing the men from I their dangerous positions. Lieut. Williams, like the true hero, is very modest over his remarkable achievementi. We hope, how- ever, that his gallant action will be suitably recog- nised by the military authori ties.

SPECIALIST EXPLAINS CAUSE OF STOMACH TROUBLE. VALUABLE ADVICE TO SUFFERERS. I There arc many different forms of stomach trouble," -aid a well-known specialist recently, but practically all are traceable to excessive acidity and food fermentation. That is wuy the results obtained from the use of drugs are usually so disappointing. Admitting fermentation and conse- quent acidity of tbe food contents to be the under- lying cause of most forms of indigestion, it naturally follows that the use of a reliable antacid, such as the pure bhwatcd magnesia which is so frequently prescribed by physicians, will produce better results than any known drug or oomhipatiQn of drugs. Accordingly I almost invariably advise those who cbmptaiu of digestive trouble to get some b(s.I}'{dcd magnesia (note the name carefully, as other forms are unsuitable for this purchase), from their ohemist, and take half a teaspoonful of the powder, or two qrgraiu compressed tah'ets, with a little water affcar meals. This, by immediately ueutralising the neict aqd stopping the fermentation, removes the cause qf all the trouble and :insures normal and healthy digestion."

NEYLAND NEWS. NEYLAND FOOTBALL. There have been discussions of late as to whether football should be played all over the country or not. Many have taken the view that it should be played, while others, particularly the feminine sex, have taken an opposite view. The ladies generally have expressed tudr:opill¡.dr(. auil none too gently either. They are perhaps a bit too indescriminate with their scathing remarks for many a man whom they attack has volunteered and been rejected. If football is or is not played the War will not ba materially affected except that almost every match played helps to swell the different War Funds. There is nothing, too, which Tommy enjoys reading more than accounts of football matches apd he will be deprived of this pleasure if no football ls played at home. Then again moping is useless, why not go and have an afternoons enjoymen t whenever possible? Obviously all cannot volunteer aiid"whi^ always ready to help their country wheu possible a happy hour spent on the fx>tb,all .Geld by ihese people canoot be objected to. Heyland oti Saturday envertaiqed the Brigade Signallers at' ScoveqtQu who are chieliy Car- marthen College men and a most interesting game "was the result. A good crowd assem- bled and both teams were fairly well reprer sented. Neyland played the hill during the first half and playing with plenty of spirit soon registered a try through H. Davies the winger. It looked at this stage as if the home team were going to over-run iheir oppoqeut-s but in a short time they were given to understand that they had doughty men to deal with, and it was not until the end of the half that they managed to score again. The second half was very hardly contested during which time the Signallers scored once, and threatened several times to pull the game out of the fire. The game was well contested and plenty of good football shown in spite of lack of training, and a lively ball. The Neylaud forwards during the last season or so have lacked cohesion. They do not rush in a body but in fours and there are always stragglers. The backs bbowed cleverness but not dash. They did not make tracks for the line when opportunities came and H. Davies might treat us to a bit more of bis speed. W. George the outside half was a bit too fond of the ball for more than once after making clever openings he failed to part with the leather at the correct moment. The deb kits* not too sound on either side. iaON A^SIVEKSA^Y-. i^iou Calvmistic Metodst Church held their anniversary on 4tiilday, September btb. The Rev. \y. fl?. \\zi"ian33 be congratulated on the great success of the event, He was fortunate enough to secure the servioes of Hev. "Wiston" Jones who preached remarkably impressive and powerful sermons to a crowded and appreciative congregation. May much good bo the result. WESLEY CHURCH. Anniversary services took place here on Sunday. In the morning the Rav. W. Richards officiated, while in the evening Hav. Fred Clark preached his initial sermon at his new pastorate. Although we are sorry to part with the Rev. A. Kershaw, who was undoubtedly popular, we extend the heartiest wel- come to Mr Clark and hope that his sojourn in ou;, midst will be a happy one. DuriDg ;b9 evening Miss Lilian Saunders rendered a eclo in laer usuat good style. THE WAR FUND. The collection for this fund is being energetically pursued and everybody is surprised at the large amounts being contributed. Neyland folk who have always been noted for their liberality in a good cause are Jiving up to their reputation. It must not be forgotten too, that many of these people are contri- buting daily towards a fund which cannot be named and many a Territorial can testify to their liberality. On the other hand there are a few people in Neyland whose selfishness predominates over their patriotism and who are charging, to say the least of it, exorbi- tant prices for certain commodities. This applies especially to the surrounding villages. One instance of this exorbitance was furnished only the other day when a certain shopkeeper charged 4d each for eggs. Possibly those same people will contribute liberally to the local War Fund! I BOARD OF TRADE APPOINTMENT. I Mr David Morgan has left Neyland to take up his appointment as Assistant Surveyor to the Board of Trade at Liverpool. We are sorry to lose him as be was a most popular gentleman. He took a prominent part in all the- progressive projects of Neyland. We wish him every success in his now I sphere. RED CROSS A meeting is to be held at the Vestry, Llanstad- well to-night (Wednesday), to consider what can be I done for the comfort of the Territorials locally, They intend doing, or at rate attempting to do, all necessary mending of1 the troops wearing apparel. I LITTLE HONEi'BRO' The new pastor at Hill Part, the Rev. W. R. I-jewis, officiated' ;all day at the 8||universary services of this chapel. As usual tb, church was packed to verqowirig and the congregations were much impressed with'the" sermons preached,

TENBY MOTOR BRAKE DESTROYED. A motor brake belonging to Mr F. Homes, of Tenby, was completely destroyed by flre on the road near Ivy Tower on Sunday evening. The brake had been on a run to Pembroke Dock with a number of passengers, and on returning in the evening it ran badly through lack of pressure in the carburettor. On the hill near Ivy Tower the car stopped and the passengers were asked to dismount. It was found that the petrol was leaking, and while the brake was at a standstill the petrol on the ground became ig- nited, and very quickly the vehicle was a blazing mass.

TERRITORIAL'S SEIZURE. At 9.30 on Wednesday night one of the men of H. Company, 5th Welch, which had just taken up guard at Milford Docks, was taken to the John Cory Rest and Bethel in a somewhat serious condition. During the previous week at Scoveston he had been taken ill and at first an attack of appendicitis was feared, but he was well enough to proceed with his company. After arrival at Milford, however, he had several seizures of severe pain, and it took three men 1 to hold him down. He was placed in the sick bay at we iiethel, and was attended by Dr. Rice and by ladies of the Red Cross Society, who were unremitt- ing in their attention. There was no improvement in his condition and later on he was subsequently removed to the Naval Hospital, Pembroke Dock. His name was Stanley Abbot (2.3). of Merthyr. MINIATURE RIFLE SHOOTING. A league match between the R.A.O.B. Institute and Liberal Club teams took place on the former's range on Saturday afternoon. Both clubs had sent men to Kitchener's army the same day.

The anniversary services in connection with North Road Baptist Church were held on Sunday, when large congregations assembled at morning and even- ing services. The preacher was the Rev. J. Meredith Jones, of Newport, Mon., president of the Mon- mouthshire Baptist Association and a fellow-student of the pastor. In the morning the rev. gentleman preached an impressive sermon from Isaiah vi., first seven verses, and developed the subject on the N'ision of God." At night he delivered a most elo- quent discourso from Revelations xxi., v, 16. The pastor, Rev. E. V. Tidman, assisted in the services. Special collections were taken on behalf of the Church Funds. On Monday evening the Rev. J. Meredith Jones delivered a lecture on "Dafydd Evans," a quaint character from West Wale3. There was a fair attendance. The lecturer gave a most interesting aocount of the life and savings of a character typical of one of the old Welsh divines of the early part of last century, which the audience fully appreciated. The pastor, Mr Tidman, voiced the thanks of those present and of the church for the lecture, and for Mr Jones's ministrations during his first visit. "OLD SAILOR JACK" FOUND DEAD. A tragic discovery was made in Hakin on Saturday and sooii the news went round that "Old Saiior Jack was dead. The discovery was made by P C John and P.C. Harry James, both of whom bad volunteered for active service and were leaving that day. They went to say good-bye to John Lewis known to every man, woman and child in Hakin as Sailor Jack," who lived by himself in Point Street Hakin. They found the poor old man lying on the kitchen floor quite dead. From information received later it transpired that deoeased was last seen at six Q clock in the moruing at Hakin Point bv two sentrtesof the Mh Welsh, who gave him' some coffee. The Coroner was informed, but it was not deemed necessary to hold an inquest as death was undoubtedly due to heart failure. The two officers were accompanied by Joseph Phillips, nephew of deceased. "Sailor Jack" was n years of age, and was horn and bred in HalUu, aud seldom left there. With his brother (Bob be was the oldest and most GXpcricoQcd QOfltTiftD in the harbour and knew every incb of its waters from St. Anne's inwards Latterly he eked out his living plying his boat across the old Dock entrance between tides and rowing men out to the trawlers in the Haven. He was a loyal Britisher and bis flag was ever prominent from his bedroom window. He will be missed from Hakin and the Point. TERRITORIALS ENTERTAINED. About 50 Territorials belonging to the Brecknock I shire Regiment, stationed at Scoveston Fort walked in on Sunday evening for the service at the Tabernacle Congregational Church. The Major of the Regiment being a friend of the pastor, the Rev. D. Garro Jones. The latter delivered an appro- priate address during the service. At tbe ciose the men were entertained to a first class supper in the I Central Hall, members of the church kindly giving the sumptuous provisions. TRAWLER ENGINEER'S MYSTERIOUS FATE. On Sunday afternoon the steam trawler Dews. bnd" (Mr W. Jenkins), arrived at the Docks, and Captain Nightingale reported the mysterious dis- appearance, of toe second engineer named James &fevy«U. T^e trawler Qn Tuesday of last week was on itei way tq the western lishing grounds, and at tWft Q'ClOvH 4n thii afternoon Sewell went on duty. At 4 9Q when off the Bull Point, west of Ireland, the mate felt that the ship was not making her usual speed and went down into the engine room to see what was the matter. He could not find Sewell anywhere. A thorough search of the engine room and other parts of the ship proved futile, and a man who was working n6ar the galley said he did not see him came up. The whole affair is a mystery. The missing man was 50 years of age and a native of Wor(iester, single, and lodged in Priory Road. He had been in Milford Haven seven years, SUXDAY CINEMAS PROTEST. In all the chapels on Sunday the ministers protested against the granting of seven day licenses to the cinemas for the purpose of giving peformanccs on behalf of the War Fnnd. Tney bad nothing .to say against the motives of the proprietors, especially having regard to the object, but felt there were plenty of opportunities for people to sacrifice and give to this great work of relief without resoiting to the Picture Show on the Sabhatfc day and the members of the congregation were asked to show their disapproval of the gra.n,fcin £ of these licenses by abstaining r attendance at thesQ places on Suuda" ^eniugs. OBITVA^Y, The death took pjotce an Huaday afternoon of Mr George Price, gt. peters Road, after a very Jong illness. Deceased was a very old inhabitant of the town and one of the old school of shipwrights of whom very few now remain. He was born at Hoaten Farm and was 74 years of age. He leaves a widow and several sons and daughters. The funeral takes place to-morrow (Thursday) afternoon. Mr G. M. Lewis being the undertaker. I FISH TRADE AND TRAFFIC. But for the continuance of the scarcity of hake the Market has been kept going at a fair rate. The. shortage of the most needed species however is keenly felt especially as other ports have been weU catered for. Hake therefore has raaCAC, good prices at ood I)Xioes from 75s to 60s per kit. HeFings 4ave been fairly plentiful and the rjy we? man,taned at from ?s to 15s per kit, according to the quantity landed. So far thQ Ced boats have yoDe for herrings and £ .avs made short tnps. The prices for mixed stuff have fluctuated sp.mowha\ mags being dear aU?d ?uch kmdaas bao?i cheap at 5s per kit, soles £ 5 10s to £1; and prime have been cheap owing to the moderate demands. The Docks Company are alive to the possibilities of attracting boats from the East Coast. In a full page map advertisement in the I' I trade journals they invite owners to Come to m?,sil ford to fish." The genial Docks Manager must be re- garded in the nature of a prophet, for H mautid ago a similar advertisement appeared iu wiibh the advantages of Milford in case 01 a European or German War were pointed pat. In addition to the Grimsby and Ostend steam trawlers, four of the Royal National fission to Deep Sea Fishermen's smacks are now fishing from here, having left the perils of the North Sea for the present. After recent disasters it would not be surprising to see' more trawlers come round. Fleetwood mav be over- done. The latest Ostend trawler to arrive is the I Baron liuzette. The tonnage of fish dispatched from Milford Docks during week ending September 5d was 513. THE PICTURE PALACE. As will be seen by a glance at our advertisement columns, the prog^mme which is being screened at the Palace, Robert Street, this week is of the customary up-to-date order. The leading drama for the first three nights is "The Devil's Eye" a sensational production by Andersen together with the great war picture (latest) The Mad Dog ot Europe, bravo Belgium, etc, Mr Stepban is Drt making War films a feature of his programme believing that people have a surfeit of tpis ia te pictorial papers. He is 'therefore jusJ showing a few of the most up-to-3ate of tfhis, &iass together with 'Pathes Gazette. Wbr, B:lr pictures will cbntintfe to take the$,rst place on the Palace screen. On Thursday -Vr;.aay and Saturday a pleasing drama by Selig wlll be put on—" The Baby Spy." Another ceries oj very fme e^clusives have been booked and fhe first is due Monday next entitled, "Justice" length 3,40Ctft. We can safely say that this is one of the most interesting and entrancing dramas of the many shown at the Palace. With this series patrons have many rare treats m store and the efforts of the management will be thoroughly rewarded-of that we have no doubt. Commencing on Sunday next the Palace will open at 8.15 for a grand sacred performance in which will be shown nothing but chaste pictures of a religious nature. This innovation ba§ for its one object the helping of the local War Relief Fund and will be personally supervised by the Committee of the Fund. The entire proceeds will be given to the Fund. Prices as usual.

Haverfordwest Man's Prayer. LETTER WRITTEN BEFORE BEING STRUCK BY A SHELL. I.lu!te a pathetic interest attaches to a Jetter from Mr Harry Gaunt, who was engaged in the British transport work, and who received fatal injuries during the battle of Mons. Mrs Gaunt, the deceased's widow, who is residing with her bister in Ilrendergast, received the letter on Thursday last, four days after she had been notified by wire of her husband's death. Mr rG? aunt, in the course of his letter, wrote The British troops had a splendid reception all along the route. The French people gave us almost anything. We had fruit in abundance and really I am getting almost tired of it. The French made a tremendous fuss over us. It is surprising where the food and cyder come from. We had as many as four bottles in the car at a time. The dust on the roads is chronic and we look more like millers and not motor-car drivers at the end of a day's jouruey. It is very exciting. How are the little children getting On ? Do they call for dad now? Every little child J see brings back to me memories of home and I am thinking about all of you in all my spare moments. I am praying to God to grant us a speedy return to England, home and beauty, for, after all, there is no place like home.

LOCAL WAR ITEMS. I A meeting of the Lord Lieutenant's War Fund Committee will be held at the Shire Hall, Haverford- west, on Saturday next, at 11.30 a.m. Various applications for grants, in particular an application by the County Branch of the Red Cross Society for equipment purposes, will be dealt with at this meeting. Mr II. Wathen Thomas, of Jordanston, near Fish- guard, generously gavea Sealyham terrier dog puppy to be drawn for on behalf of the funds of the Fish- guard Branch of the Red Cross Society. Last week whilst some Fishguardians were returning by motor car from Haverfordwest they met a grey motor car in the vicinity of Treffgarne Wood, the car being at the time at a standstill and stationed on the roadside. Coming towards the strange car on foot was a tall individual having the appearance of a foreigner, who seemed to be making a survey of the place, and whose somewhat peculiar walk gave the Fishguardians the impression that it was a woman in male attire, and, as though to satisfy their curiosity, a sudden gust of wind blew off the stranger's hat, with the result that they ( became cunvinoed that the strange individual was a woman in man's clothing, and, of course, the natural conclusion was that the stranger was a Ger- ) man spy. This is—so we are informed-not the first time a suspicious grey motor car has been seen in the locality. Petty Officer James, who is officially reported to have been killed on H.M.S. Kennett by the firing of the German batteries at Tsingtau (China), was a native of St. Florence, near Tenbv. He is the third Pembrokeshire seam au to lose his life during the war, two having been lost through the Amphion disaster. At a joint meeting of the Pembrokeshire, Carmar- thenshire and Cardiganshire Territorial Association, Mr V. J. Higgon, Sealyham, was appointed acting secretary in the place of Lieut. H. O. Pugh, who is joining the Welsh Horse Regiment. In the current issue of Health and Stroagth appears a group of Haverfordwest Territorials who have volunteered for the front, Most of them are said to be keen physical colturists. They are Corpl. Tom John, Lower Cambrian Place; Corp I. Willie Summers, Sergt. Stanley Bowen, formerly of Prendergast; Priva-tea Rodney, Alan Price and Wm. Williams, PortfieW.

Kelway, R.N.R., Studdolph Hall, Milford Haven, has been appointed to H.M.S. Majestic. The other day a well-known county .J.P., who made an eloquent and fiery speech at the County War Fund meeting, was reminded of the vigilance and impartiality with which our sentries perform their duties. While motor cycling the magistrate was suddenly pulled up by a sentry with loaded rifle and fixed bayonet, and before being allowed to proceed be had to explain who lie was and give full details of the nature of his business.' It is rumoured that Dr. Tolputt has gene to the front. This is incorrect. He is down at South Hook with his regiment. Among those who have joined Lord Kitchener's army at Milford are two veterans, Tom Lawrence and Davie Harries, formerly of the Welsh Regiment. Another volunteer, Vaughan Thomas of Hakin. has a splendid record of service. He was a sergeant in "A Company 1st Y.E., Welsh Regt., and after going through the Boer war served in Baden Powell's police. He was Company Sergt.-Major in No. 1 Company Perahrokesbire R.G.A (T.F.), and has now again volunteered for active service. Nc ifesa than 1*3 per oent of the Milford Company (V.-Mr-A.) have volunteered for service abroad, and not 0J3, per cent as stated in our last week's issue. In the Saundersfoot and Tenby Company 61 per cent have volunteered, and in the Fisbgaard Company t-X) per cent. Ex-Col.-Sergt. M. E. Powell, late of the Welsh Regiment, is back in his old quarters at Milford Haven Drill Hall, as officer in charge of the Recruit- ing Station. There is not likely to be any football in Pembroke- shire this season owing to the War From Milford Town team the following have enlisted in itchener's Army: Beynon Batten, Harry Day, Ben Clarke, Leonard Mathias, Stuart Garret, whilst W.

There was a large attendance at Wadbrook's sacred performance at Milford Haven on Sunday night, held under the patronage of prominent local people, and by permission of the Urban District Council. As a result a good sum has been banded over to the local War Fund. The Milford War Fund Committee have held several meetings, and iast night a committee con- sisting of six ladies from each church and chapel met for the purpose of dividing the town into districts for collecting. ^"iwee Milford policemen have joined the Royal Eield Artillery and proceeded to Preston, Lanes.— P.C.
