NOTES OF THE DAY. From our London COrTexpmdent. I The Premiers Speech. I Mr. Lloyd GeoxgeT, speech in Pans created an immense sensation in "this -country. It seemed on Monday evening that we Avere heading for a first-class politicit r'wisis. The tension continued 811 Tuesday, and men were talking freely of .a re-construction of the Government. When Mr. Lloyd George rose to answer Mr. Asquith's question as to the proposed Inter-Allied Conference on Wednesday, the House of Commons was erom-ded and everybody was on the tip-toe of expecta- tion. The House listened eagerly to his recital of the agreement. But when he had finished members looked at one an- other as though they had been cheated of a sensation, and one felt instinctively that all the electricity had gone out of the atmosphere. Cui Bono ? The agreement, providing *s:it doegfor a supreme council charged with the duty of surveying the Western Front as a whole, commands general approval. But what mystifies one is the Paris speech. What was its object ? "Where was its justification ? What good has it done ? These.are Questions that one finds it diffi- •cultrto answer. I am told that Mr. Lloyd f George was invited to speak frankly in j France iin order to invigorate French opinion. 'His speech has certainly been well received in France, though if has not saved tM. Painteve's Government from de- feat. But in England the speech has created something like dismay. Running through it is the -suggestion tJaati if; Lloyd George's own ideas had been adopted the military situation of the Allies would have been .much more favourable than it is to-day. it .is allways possible to make an attractive picture of the "Might-have- beens." But I aim bound to say that, marvellous as has been the foresight of Mr. Lloyd George in many rmotters, some of his strategical ideas 'were impractic- able. Haw could England have saved Serbia earlly in 1915 when it was all we ,could do to find enough mem ssnfl guns for ■ ,dur own front in France ? How could we have rescued Rumania in the autumn -of 1916 when-oapart altogther from the 'difficulties of advancing through a most -difficult country from a not too secure ¡ base at Salonjka-lt is now known that ireacfeersus Russian Ministers had .de- liberately betrayed Rumania to the 4pnemy P The simple truth is that the Allied failures in the Balkans were due to Itn&sia and to Russia alone—meaning by that the old. corrupt and incompetent Russia of the Tsardom. 'j Another Explanation. Another explanation of tVio Paris speech is that it was actuated by the Prime Minister's resolve to beat down opposi- j tion in this country to the project for an I Inter-AlHfd Council. Our own Imperial General Siaff was notoriously averse to this idea of a Supreme Wax Council, for fear the now body might impinge on the sphere of Sir William Robertson and his colleagues. It is clear, however, from Mr Lloyd George'* statement on Wednesday that the Versailles Council will have no ♦executive authority and that the national staffs of the various armies will not be lettered. What the Versailles Council will do is to give close and continuous I iittention to the "Western Front as a whole, and not merely to the English, the French or the Italian aspect of it. The nee d for such body is self-evident: had it been in existence six months ago tho Italian catastrophe might have been averted. Premier and the Military Chiefs. j What complicates the situation is the fact that between some of our military chiefs and Lloyd George there is little !r¡o,f. Ho J'r>!1;:1rds them as wanting íu imagination and f they resent t his criticisms as those of a civilian, who has no qualification to pronounce on strategical questions. In justice to the Prime Minister it must be said that on several vital -matterr, he has been wiser than the military experts. In regard to shells and other munitions of war and in regard to railways to facilitate the move- ment of our troops in France, Lloyd George has shewn greater sagacity than the soldiert. 'Vime "has vindicated him. It is known, too, that he believes it is wrong to confine the high commands in the British Army to the old gang; and deplores the 'fact that better use has not been made in important positions of thr, brains of the "New Army, which con- sists of the flower of the nation. It is also whisjjd'ed that he is dissatisfied with the actual achievements of some of our generals m the field. Soldiers in high places dislike these views and criticisms.; but they must beware of antagonizing the PriTni- 1-- i the Primr Minister, for he has a large body of opinion behind him. There a7;) no limits to Llonyl George's admira- tion for the new Army: his criticism is of the military caste, the ringed fence wif high officers, which monopolizes influewje and poster.

 A Pub! ic -Qili. A 11 ——— COUNCIL AND SLAUGHTERHOUSES. At ;i. .special meeting of the Burry Port Council (Coun. Dd Arnold in the chair), on Thursday evening, the question of slaughterhouses was lengthily considered. The Surveyor read a joint report—com- piled hy the Medical Officer and himself- which stated that there were five places where animals were slaughtered. Fxcm the sanitary point of view the places were .defective.and unsuitably constructed. The effect of slaughterhouses in close prox- imity to dwelling houses, in a populous part of the town was also touched upon. The .Clerk reported that if a slaughter- house was unused for a year anyone else desiring to use it would have to obtain :a licence. Cotiii. Hammond broadly described the position as "a public scandal," and said the Council in regard to the matter, was in the same place as it was 20 years ago. (Cfiun. Jkihn :Eva u s asked how often the places were inspected. The Surveyor reported that he had no fixed schedule, but that the last inspee- tion took place about two weeks ago. Other details in particuliir instances were discussed (privately), and the mat- ter was adjourned.

NO "FRWT FOR CHRISTMAS PlTDHmC. -2- (Christmas pudding of the rich old familiar kind will be a rarity in English homes this year. The chief ingredients— raisins., sultanas, currants, and peel-are now virtually unobtainable, and no fresh supplies are expected to be available to the public until after Christmas. "The Government sent its buyers to Greece two months ago, auA .evicry sliipfflBrnt that ar- rives is Government property," said the manager of .a largo London stores. "This is part of the War Office scheme for sup- plying half a pound of the favourite pud- ding to every "soldier at the frorafc.

TRIMSARAN. At Sardis Church, to-night, the Hev. Dr. Gwylfa Roberts will lecture on "Great Pioneers, in Welsh Life," and to- morrow morning, afternoon and evening, he will preach the anniversary sermons. He has just returned after an extended  oj,t b ll- alcs, tour in North W ales, where he preached and lectured at several places— Wrexham, Colwyn Bay, Trefriw, etc.

At a "social" held the other evening a prize was offered for the best answer to the question—"What ought to he done with the Kaiser ?" One competitor sitg- gested that he wpuld boil Wilhelm's body down and give it to the pigs. Rather an insuit i<> the pigs, isn't it ?

The Surveyor's Salary. I COMMITTEE TO MEET MR. JONES. I I When the item on ,the agenda relating to tbP. Surveyor's salary was reached Mr. H. B. Jones asked leave to retire and he left the room. Discussion followed and it wa.s decided to .appoint a small committee—the same committee as considered the estimate--to I go into the question with the surveyor himself. In his written application tke Surveyor I the salary of his predecessor in pre- war days was £ 160. His (Mr. Jones') present salary was £ 139 plus £ 31 4s. war honns. He mentioned that the work had increased, together with the responsibility and the cost of living had become very greatly enhanced. He asked that his salary be raised to £ 160 together with war bonus. Coun. Edmunds asked for particulars of the increase in the work. There were, I he said, no improvements being under- taken. Dr. J. 11. Williams picturesquely an- swered by saying it was more difficult to retain an old patch in a pair of trousers than to buy a new one. It was a more, difficult matter to keep things normal in war time than to spend money in improve- I ments

T* The Train Service —— 0 I COUNCIL AND ALTERATIONS. I Coun. Edmunds, at the special meeting I of the Bm'ry Port Council on Thur:clay, I said it would be a great convenience to passengers .if the Cork Express leaving Swansea at 9.15 p.m., which stops at Llanelly, could be stopped at Burry Port in view of the fact under the recent alter- ations, that the 8.30 p.m. from Swansea was the last down train which stopped at Burry Port. He moved that the Clerk write to Mr. John Rees, 'the divisional superintendent, with that object. It was also decided to include an application in I respect of the "5.4o (Llanelly ) from Llan- dovery, that it be run to Burry Port, as so many workmen who cannot catch the 5 o'clock train from Llanelly have to wait about until the train due at Llanelly at 6.40, but which generally arrives con- siderably later than that.

Llanellyife Honoured. 3FR. 'EVAN JONES AS HIGH SHERIFF I OF CARMARTHENSHIRE. I The ancient ceremony of nominating the sheriffs was performed in the Lord Chief Justice's Court on Monday, Mr. I Ik mar Law occupying the chair. Mr. Evan Jones, of Llanelly and Trimsaran, wag mctmiuqte(I as high sheriff of Car- diganshire for next year. Although Mr. Jones has spent the greater part of his busy life in Carmar- thenshire, he is a native of Cardiganshire. 1 He eame to Llanelly as a lad and served his apprenticeship at the then famous ¡ Cwmbacli shops, Vaughan street. Later I on, he launched out tm his own account, and established' what was the 'largest furniture business in South Wales under the style of Evan Davies and 'Co. Upon relinquishing this, Mr. Jones 'became associated nith the coal trade, and ac- I quired a large interest in the Rhos Col- liery which at that time was in anything but a prosperous condition. The new proprietors, however, quickly changed all that and to-day the Rhos is one of the most successful collieries in the anthracite coal field. His next purchase was -the Achddu Colliery, Burry Port, followed by I the New Pool Colliery iu the same district Here, too, Mr. Jones spent a large sum of money in sinking the Crown pits. De- velopment operations are still in progress here, and there is every reason to believe that a large output will be secured in the near future. More recently, ,the High sheriff elect purchased the Trimsaran estate which includes a well known col- liery, a. brickworks, a large number of workmen's houses, and several well-culti- vated farms. Under his enterprising management, Trimsaran is rapidly be- coming a busy hive of industry, and al- ready there is to be recorded a large in- crease in the daily output of coal and bricks. Mr. Jones is also connected as a shareholder with several works in Llan- elly. As a business man, he has been re- markably successful, but it ik a success which has eome by dint of hard work and the exercise of a judicious enterprising spirit. I His many friends will extend to Mr. Jones hearty congratulations on the honourable and dignified position to which lie is to succeed in his native shire.

QUir Fallen Heroes. — » SERGT. D. SAMUEL JONES. 6 Ihe sad news was received by Mr. and Mrs. David Jones, 56, High street, on Tuesday, that Sergt.

In his boyhood he attended Park street School, and later the Higher Elementary School. A young man of honesty and integrity, he was highly respected, and attended the Wes- leyan Chapel. He was widely known, and his death is deeply deplored by bis numerous friends and acquaintances. '■ 1 1 O PTE. GWILYM LLOYD. Official information ha £ been received that Pte- Gwilym Lloyd,' Royal Naval Division, has been killed in action. Pte.

Couniy School Salaries ?G?n?? y oc?ooi L' hJ í I NEW sCALE llEIG: CONSIDERED. I A meeting of the County School 1 Managers was held on Thursday at the II School, Mr. Greville in the chair. Miss Davies was given permission to I engage two temporary teachers, and the headmaster said that he had engeged Mr. Hugh Roberts, B.A., on his staff at tl70 plus the bonus. I Scale of-Salaries. I Jlr. Clement said that he was not satis- fied with the maximum of i;280, and would like to fix a scale that would secure the best teachers obtainable. The Headmaster stated that there was a meeting to be held on Saturday in Car- marthen to discuss the very question. A departmental committee was also sitting, but they had not reported. Letters were read from assistant teachers thanking the Governors for the advances granted them. An application was made by Air. Morgan Rees for an increase of 33 one-third per cent. instead of the 25 per cent. which he had been allowed. Mr. Rees stated that lie had been two years in the school, and prior to that served 13 months in the Army. Had he got the school three years ago instead of voluntarily enlisting, he would have received the 33 and one-third per cent. bonus. Mr. E. Willis Jones said he sympath- ized with the young man very much, but not being connected with the school he did not see what they could do. It was decided to defer the consider- ation of the question until the scale had ¡ been revised.

MARRIAGE of Mr. SWINDELL I I On Saturday, November 10th, at the Church of St. Clement-Danes, Strand, London, by the Rector, the Rev Penning- ton Bickford, Arthur Witter Swindell, of Llanelly, to Mrs. Margaret Wikkins Say, of Cricklewood, N.W.

The picture hat worn by the bride was trimmed with plush roses shaded with different French tints, and at the waist a cluster of pale I pink carnations. The travelling coat worn by the bride was of a grey cloth trimmed t with musquash and a muff to match. j The service, which was choral, was beautifully rendered by the choir. The organist played appropriate music before the ceremony, and the Wedding March as the bridal party left the church. The Church was decorated with I Madonna lilies. Being a war wedding, no invitations i-en, hut a large num- her of friends were received at tbe Waldorf after the ceremony—to give con- gratulations to the bride and bridegroom. I The honeymoon is being spent in Brigh- ton. The large number of presents were handsome and useful. )

Roads and Rates. » A DEPLORABLE STATE. THE NEW LEVY. Coun. John Leyshon presided over a Finance Committee of the Burry Port Council on Thursday evening. The Chairman explained tha.t this was a meeting to consider the rate and the estimate of the sub committee. The various items of estimates were read out. and approved. With regard to an item £ 300 for road repairs, etc. Coun. Hammond said he did not think it would be enough. Coun. John Davies expressed disap- pointment that the list was not before each member .so that t-he figures could be better followed. The Clerk explained that the meeting had been called for other purposes than that under discussion, but in view of the lateness of the year it had occurred to him that with the approval of the Coun- cil,—who could postpone the matter, did they so desire—that the rate and estimate might be taken first of all. Some discussion arose as to whether the Council should go into every detail inasmuch as the committee had already done that. Coun. F. J. Morgan pointed out that the subcommittee on a previous occasion took it as a reflection upon them, when, after their mature deliberations the Coun- cil afterwards investigated the details. Dr. J. H. Williams: Quite right Coun. Edmunds: Of course it is only right that each one should have the esti- mate in front of him. But if you are go- ing piecemeal into it there is no need of a sub-eommittee. I do not wi.-h to de- prive, for one moment any members of the perusual of the estimate, but it is a waste of time so far as the sub-committee is concerned unless it has got some stand- mg. Dr. J. H. Williams: I quite agree with Coun. Edmunds. The Council decided unanimously for a sub-committee, and w hen they bring in their report the Coun- cil decides unanimously against accepting it. It is a sheer waste of time and a re- flection on the sub-eommittee if you do not accept their report. Coun. Hammond proposed a 3s. rate plus Id. water rate. Coun. Mc-Dowall seconded—thus mak- ing the proposed sum £ 390 instead of £300. Coun. Edmunds asked whether the money was merely to be provided for spending should the necessity arise, or for actual spending. Coun. Hammond I think you will find we shall have to spend it on account of the deplorable state of the roads at the present time. Coun. Dl. DaA-ies: To test the feeling of the Council I will move an amendment j that the rate be 2s. lOd. plus Id. water rate,—the sub-committee's recommend- atioll. Coun. Taylor seconded. The amendment was carried by a majority of three.

TABERNACLE CHURCH. We understand that the famous Welsh Wesleyan preacher, the foremost man of his denomination, viz., the Rev.
