OUR STEEL TRADE. I Since the war, notable additions have been made to the productive capacity of the steel v. /'■:< i-n Llanelly and other dis- tricts. In oraer to meet new conditions and to provide steel for munition pur- poses, new plant has been laid down in works all over the country. The result is that in spite of the withdrawal of so many men for the Army and Navy we are now turning out nearly four million tons of steel more than ever we did before the war. This is a gratifying fact, the full significance of which will not be felt until the days of peace come round again. It is unthinkable that when the war is over, we shall be content to slip back into the old groove. There will be a fierce trade war after the clash of arms has ceased, and it is up to our manufacturers and workmen to meet that competition by the adoption of improved methods of pro- duction. The- world's demand for steel is increasing every year, and it is a reflec- tion on our pre-war methods that we ever allowed Germany to get ahead* of us in iron and steel exports. In those days we were failing to hold our own, and we did not realize how we were being overtaken and outdistanced. in first one industry and. then another, by the Germans. Our manufacturers neglected to organize. Our industries were retarded by old fashioned ideas and restrictions. In ten years we lost 100,000,000 individual working days by strikes and lock-outs. Let us hope that the lessons of the last few years will be taken to heart by the representatives of capital and labour. THE FALL OF RICA. I The Allies must frankly face the effect of the Russian collapse upon the general military situation, for it cannot be lightly explained away. Its reaction upon the political ideals which inspire the great democracies now arrayed against Ger- many is hardly less serious. We are fighting to overthrow a militant auto- cracy, ubt unless there is rapid improve- ment in Russia her tragic confusioa may prove to be the groatest blow the cause of democracy has ever received. The im- provement may still come, and there is still time for Russia to atone* for the folly and the slackness of the last six months; but meanwhile the military consequences are immediate. In three successive autumns fortune has favoured the Ger- manic lowers owing to the shortcomings of the Allies. In the autumn of 1915 the defects of Allied policy enabled Germany to bring Bulgaria into the field, to ob- tain control over the Balkans, and to open the road to Constantinople. Last autumn a series of miscalculations wrought the temporary ruin of Rumania, gave the enemy access to new stores of corn and meat and oil, as well as of labour, and prolonged their capacity for resistance. This autumn, when Germany m;ht have been prostrate if the Russian Army had remained stanch, she sees the barriers disappearing on her eastern front and the forces ranged against her melting away. Yet, great though her luck has been, we must remember that the domin- ating factors make the ultimate doom of German plans inevitable. The Germans can prolong the war, but their chances of ultimate success continue to dwindle. Their powers of resistance are steadily weakening, and even such advances as they are now attempting in Livonia im- pose a strain upon their strength which they can hardly face. From the Car so to the Dixmude marshes they are being subjected to a continuous and exhausting pressure; and though the loss of Riga is grievous, we may be reasonably certain that before very long it will be amply balanced in the AVest, if the civil popula- tions of the Allied countries preserve their patience and their confidence. THE PRICE OF BREAD. I One of the most important features in I the Government scheme for controlling I food is the cheapening of the loaf. Dread is to be artificially lowered to a fixed price whether the market conditions per- mit or not, while any loss caused to pro- ducers and traders is to be mas"t, good by a Government subsidy. No doubt the main reason for this exceptional treat- ment of bread is its exceptional import- ance as the "staff of life," especially to the poor, and the necessity of bringing it within their means. Various estimates of the cost have been put forward, but they are based on past experience, where- as the actual cost will depend on the harvests of the world, than which nothing is more uncertain. It may be more than the highest or less than the lowest of the widely varying estimates that have been made. But, whatever it may turn out to be, the Government policy is decided, and from September 17th the quartern loaf will be sold everywhere at 9d. over the counter. Meanwhile it is an interesting fact that the competition of sellers has already brought the price down in some establishments to 9d., and even to 8d., though it must not be assumed that all bakers can afford to do the same. The actual cost of baking and delivering bread varies to a surprising degree ac- cording to circumstances, and it is al- ways higher to the small than to the big man, who buys his materials in bulk and 15 uses modern labour-saving appliances. As a matter of fact, the great majority of bakers are small men, and to put them out of business would stop the supply of bread in most places, and particularly in poor districts. KAISER IN HIS TRUE COLOURS. The remarkable disclosures by the "New York Herald" about Hohenzollern William's secret plot against this country shows the "All Highest" in his true colours as an unprincipled scoundrel. A few years ago in the famous "Daily Telegraph" interview, he saidYou English are mad, mad, mad as. March hares. Falsehood and prevarication are alien to my nature. My actions- ought to speak for themselves; but you listen not to them, but to those who mis- interpret and distort them. That is a personal insult which I feel and. resent. To be for ever misjudged, to have my re- peated offers of friendship weighed and scrutinized with jealous, mistrustful eyes, taxes my patience severely." Yet the .man wh o uttered these words sought two or three years earlier the undoing of this country, to which he gave his "pledged word" as being its "friend." The decep- tion was some time ago frankly explained by the pan-German organ "Deutsche Rundschau," when it said "A quarter of a century ago the Kaiser felt instinc- ( I tively, and knew by virtue of his insight, that England was our Enemy, and that we must prepare to fight England be- times. It may be said with truth that the Kaiser, despite temporary aberrations has been a hater of England since his earliest manhood; all credit to him for that, and such aberrations as were noted; from time to time, with regret, were doubtless due to the desirability of con- cealing from the perfidious English his feelings towards them." It will be noted that the telegrams between "Willy" and "Nicky," in so far as yet published by tlie "New York Herald," run to the end of Spptcmhcr,  when the Kaiser still \I Of ptenioer, 1905, when the Kaiser still hoped to draw "Nicky" in his nets. How warlike then the spirit of Hohenzollern W illiam was is shown by his speech de- hvered on October 26th, 1905, at a ban- quet in honour of the late Field-Marshal Moltke, when he said :You have seen, gentlemen, how we stancl in the world. Then powder dry, sword keen, eyes on the. goal, muscles taut, and away with pessimists. I empty my glass to our people in
LOCAL WINNER AT THE NATIONAL!
LOCAL WINNER AT THE NATIONAL At the Birkenhead National Eisteddfod on Wednesday, the first prize for the best recitation of "Glyndwr yn anerch ei J Filwyr" (open to all under 18 years of T age), was brilliantly won by Miss Elsa Davies, Pendderi farm, near Bryn (a pupil of Mr. Edwin Williams, Llanelly). In its comments on the character of the day's proceedings this is how the "Daily fl., Mail" refers to Miss Davies' rendition:— f "A feature was the recTtal of 'Owen Glendower's address to his troops,' given with such fire by a young girl, that even those in the assemb)g who knew n01 Welsh were thrilled," which redounds ( to the credit of the credit of the pupil and her tutor. Miss Davies is also the winner of several chairs and other hand- some prizes, and is very popular.
