Burry Port Tragedy. s
Burry Port Tragedy. s DISTRESSING STORY OF MOTHER I AND CHILD. Elizabeth Mundy, 13, Moreland terrace, Burry Port, the wife of Sergt. Frank Mundy, 13th Battalion Welsh Regiment, wa.s charged at the Polioe Station on Thursday with murdering her two-year- old son, Frank Mons Mundy. According to the evidence given at the inquest opened by Mr. W. W. Brodie at Burry Port on the 14th August, the de- fendant who had been very depressed since her husband's return to France, was seen by a search party coming from the seashore on the 11th August. The woman whose hair and clothing were wet was carrying the dead body of her child, and she was in a state of collapse. Ac- cording to a neighbour named William Williams, she told him: "I have broken my heart. Frank and I have been in the water and Frank is drowned. I don't know what made me do this." Supt Samuel Jones informed the magis- trates that he only proposed giving suffi- cient evidence to justify a remand. P.S. F. G. Mitchelmore said that in consequence of information received at 1.50 p.m. on the 11th August, he pro- ceeded to the house of the defendant's parents at 15, Morelan terrace, Burry Port. In the front room downstairs he saw the dead body of the defendant's son, named Frank Mons Mundy, aged 2 years. The child's clothing was wet. In a bed- room upstairs he saw the defendant in bed. She was in a state of collapse and not in a fit state to be removed. In con- sequence of what he was told he placed a constable in charge of her. She was kept continually under observation until 6 p.m. on the 29th August, when he arrested her and conveyed her to the Llanelly Police Station. Supt. Jones: On that evidence I apply for a. remand until Wednesday. Mr. T. R. Ludford who appeared for i e defence asked that bail should be al- lowed. The application for a remand was granted, but bail was refused.

Munitioneer's Reply.I
Munitioneer's Reply. I To the Editor of the "Star." Sir, I am not surprised that "Fair Play" should expect a reply to Mr John Davies' letter, contradicting my complaint. No, "Fair Play" I have not received a knock- out blow on this occasion. I once met a man named "Fritz" who put me out for a count; it may be that my friend Mr. Davies or yourself have not had the pleasure of meeting such a one. So it was "out of curiosity" that you had a leek tfMM».«msbe&. Well it was not. out of curiosity that I made my com- plaint, nor was it to "slander virtuous women," as Mr. Davies puts it. I have cause to honour women war workers, and I have witnessed the work of these 'noble bands' much nearer the firing line than Llanelly station is at the present time. All are patriotic sir, and their losses of husbands, brothers and sweethearts are too great for you and I to understand. It amounts to this "Fair Play," that what I have written I "have" written, and if "out of curiosity" you get in con- versation with other workers you may obtain some information to help sub- stantiate my former. statement. I am, etc., MUNITIONEER. I Llanelly, 27th Aug., 1917.

St-oker Ned Hughes, of Cambrian Place, Llanelly, has just arrived home on short leave after being decorated with the Dis- tinguished Service Medal. "N ed," who formerly worked under the Harbour r Trust joined the Navy on the outbreak of war and ever since he has been en- gaged on special work of the greatest im- portance in connection with the anti-sub- marine campaign. We are not allowed to give details of the achievement which gained for him the coveted medal, but we may say that it was marked by that splendid gallantry which we have come to expect from our seamen. STOKER BILLY ROBERTS AT HOME. Another naval stoker now at home is Billy Roberts, the famous boxer and foot- ball forward. He has been out in the East Indies for nearly two years and on board ship he won several prizes in boxing contests. At several ports where his ship touched, "Billy" also displayed his prowess in the "noble art."

Dancing Class Scenet
Dancing Class Scene t PROTEST BY SOLDIERS HOME ON LEAVE. A remarkable scene oocurred at a dancing class at the Parish Hall on Thursday night. There were present a large number of young men, and all was going as "merry as a marriage bell" when a number of soldiers home on leave en- tered the building and began to protest against the presence of eligible young men in dancing classes during war time. Amid a scene of great excitement the soldiers called out "Are you not ashamed of yourselves." "You ought to be in the trenches." "If you are fit to dance, you are fit to fight." For the time being, dancing stopped, and several of the young ladies became very alarmed and sought to leave the room. The M.C.'s expostulated with the soldiers and said that they had no right to disturb that or any other class. In the end, after having made their protest, the I Tommies "obeyed orders" and left.
FAIRPLAY IN SUGAR SALES. I
FAIRPLAY IN SUGAR SALES. I The Ministry of Food authorise the statement that the consumer will be just as certain of getting sugar from the smallest trader in the United Kingdom as he will be from the biggest stores, and there is no advantage in registering with one shop more than another. It will facili- tate the distribution of sugar if customers as far as possible deposit the official sugar registration cards with their ordinary re- tailers. The order that the retailer must not impose any condition as to buying other articles on the sale of sugar will re- main in force.

-1 "CO-OPS." AND FOOD CONTROL. To prevent misunderstanding Lord Rhondda asks local authorities to con- sider the desirability of appointing a re- presentative of the Co-operative move- ment as a member of the Food Control Committee to represent the consumers' interests even though it has been decided not to include trade representatives on the committee. Lord Rhondda regards it as of the greatest importance that Food Control Committee should secure at the outset the full confidence of the public in their areas, and he urges that* the inter- ests of the consumer should be the first consideration to be borne in mind by local authorities when appointing them. He is confident these objects will not have been fully secured unless full advantage is taken of the advice of the Co-operative movement in districts where co-operative societies exist, and he desires to call special attention to this point.

TINPLATE SHORTAGE._I
TINPLATE SHORTAGE. I The price of tinplate in this country had reached 47s. per box of the same quality and substance that in pre-war days were sold at 13s. per box. Maxi- mum prices have now been fixed by the Minister at 3§s. per standard box, and the maximum price of terne plates is fixed at 28s. per box. The demand is much greater than supply, and tinplate con- sumers in this country are driven to every shift to find substitutes. In the United States sales are said to have taken place at 73s. per box, and a Japanese order for 30,000 boxes at 76s. per box at makers' mill has been ofiered and refused at certain plants.

I ,Plea for State Purchase
Plea for State Purchase We have received a letter from the Rev. J. T. Rhys appealing to the Welsh Free Church Council to adopt State Purchase and Local Option as its Temperance policy for Wales. He says:— The policy has already met with wide and influential support. Nearly a thous- and public men in Wales have signed a memorial in support, and the memorial- ists belong to all classes, sects, and parties. From the point of view of pre- sent day politics, it is obviously an im- mense advantage to have a policy that will unite Churchmen and Nonconform- ists; Conservatives, Liberals and Socialists; Capital and Labour; ab- stainers and no-abstainers. Then Mr. Lloyd George has committed himself de- finitely to this policy, and the Govern- ment has virtually, if not formally, done so. The significance of that will be ap- preciated by all who have some acquaint- ance with the history of the Temperance movement in this country. There is already in existence a very promising organization to secure support for this proposal. A Convention will shortly be held at Llandrindod Wells to complete the arrangements and to in- augurate the campaign. Though there is only a hope that Mr. Lloyd George will be able to atiend there are definite promises from influential members of the Government and the Welsh Party, from a large number of influential Church leaders, as well as employers of Labour and Labour leaders. In face of these facts, I venture to ap- peal very earnestly to all who desire to make history and not simply to mark time in regard to Temperance, to support Mr. Lloyd George's policy; and especially do I appeal to the Free Church Council to unite, and not to divide our forces just now. United we shall succeed, but divided we shall sail. The strongest reasons do not suffice to get Governments to take up this reform, but a very slight excuse to drop suffices. I hope that ex- cuse will not be furnished just now by the Welsh Free Church Council.

I Tea Supply.I
I Tea Supply. CONTROLLER STATES NO CAUSE FOR ALARM. The Food Controller sates that though the importation of China. and Java teas has been stopped, this has been more than balanced by the prohibition of ex- ports except under licence. Owing to the difficulty of providing tonnage the shipments of Indian and Ceylon tea in May were comparatively small, but there was a marked improvement in June, and the shipments in July were well above normal requirements. Adequate imports are expected during succeeding months. Although there is no present cause for alarm concerning supplies, the Food Con- troller urges that all possible economy should be exercised in the use of tea as in the case of all foodstuffs.
