I I I NOTES OF THE DAY. | From our London Oorreapondent. i From our London Cone.pondeDt. j ———" jciouded Peace Prospects. Once again the prospects of an early peace are clotrded over. The speech of Mr. Lloyd George and President Wilson's address to Congress have dtsae a service in clarifying the war aims of the Allies. They were both restrained in language and moderate In tone. But it is no use blinking the fact that they set forth I aims which, as the military situation stands, are not -at present realizable. We had betterkili the hear before we proceed to divide his skin. The Central Empires on their part were quick to point out to their people the discordance between the Allied war aims and the grim realities of the battle fronts. There ensued an out- burst of Jingoism by the Pan-Germans, r: frantic efforts to beat up the war spirit among weary peoples and wild appeals to Germania to sharpen her sword once more on the grindstone of national egoism preparatory to fresh attacks on -enemies represented as seeking the ruin and destruction of Germany,' Austria- Hungary and Turkey. I I The leaven working. I These desperate efforts to stoke up the furnace of war are not very encouraging "to ife promoters of a peace of under- standing between the nations. And yet with it all the peace leavon is working, slowly, silently, imperceptibly. Its still small voice may yet prevail over the jdin [ created by the raucous voicès- of the lords of war. Russia, militarily helpless, re- mains a potant force in the realm of ideas. She is revenging her military de- feats by carrying on an active propa- j -ganda of ideas, whose infection is spread- ing in other lands and which are percol- -ating slowly even through the closely- guarded frontiers of Germany. A fierce I internal struggle is raging in Germany, the military party demanding that the Russian Baltic provinces shall be incor- pcrated within the German Empire and taie Socialists, and progressives angrily protesting against this policy of grab, "You told us," say the Socialists, "that this war was for Germany a war of de- fence against envious enemies; we be- lieved you and supported the war; you now transform it into a war of aggres- sion; but we will not be party to that monstrous perversion and we stand by the Reichstag formula,—no annexations, no indemnities.'f Bolshevik influence from Russia is fortifying the German Socialists in this attitude. The situation in Germany is one of great strain and pregnant with possibilities. 1 More Fighting. It is much feared, hov/efver, that before the voice of reason prevai there will be more fierce fighting as soon as climatic conditions permit. Mr. Lloyd George's speech and that of President Wilson, arc bemg used by the German militarists for their sinister ends. "The Allies," they say, "are not only asking for the restoration of Belgium and j Serbia; they want to wrest from Germany j the two provinces, Alsace-Lorraine, which j we won in the war of 1370-1; and to tear from it Prussian Poland which Frederick the Great conquered in the 18th century, Let us fight to the death against these arrogant enemies who would dismember j cur Empire." To a people so intensely patriotic as the Germans this will be an appeal so powerful that it may even whip them up to one last big effort] in the field I in spite of their sufferings and their Passionate longing for peace. Germany may be weak economically, but she is still powerful in the battle-line. It must be remembered, if Russia is to be written off as no longer a military asset, that Germany and her Allies will for the greater part ofIf) 18 have a preponder- greater pM-t' o? i?g ?-e a preponder- ance of force over their antagonists. This being so, the German militarists are eager to attempt an offensive on a bigv scale against tfoe French and the British in tlm spring ef this year. Russia-the incal^u&ble. Russia, the in-palculab ly* remains an embarrassment for them. Those amazing men, Lenin and Trotsky, peace-lovers, idealists, humanitarians as they are, now talk of resuming the war if the German j Imperialists seize one rood of Russian soil. Russia in her chaotic condition ap- j pears to be incapable of military efforts; j but there is ilo.K-nowing what a revolu- I tionary army may do under the impulsion of a great idea. It is very irksome to Germany to have a revolutionary and pacifist Russia. on her frontier: but if revolutionary Russia flies to arms the best-laid schemes of the German military I party may be set at naught, I
I—— ! ICemetery for Burry…
—— Cemetery for Burry Port THE COUNCIL TAKE ACTION. -The question of a public cemetery was again discussed by the Burry Port Coun- cil at their meeting on Thursday. Coun. Edmunds: I see that the "Star" paid us a compliment last week saying that we as a Council had started the new year well by discussing the provision c; a cemetery (laughter). The Surveyor gave a summary of what previous Councils had done in regard to the purchase of a suitable site. From this it appeared that the Pemberton Estate had mentioned terms on which they would be prepared to sell a piece of land in the Van district. Mr. Morgan mentioned that another suggested site was on the Ashburnham estate. Mr. Taylor said that when the matter came up before, there was a very favour- j able report on the Ashburnham site. j Mr. Evans: It is important that the Council should deal with this matter at once, because I knew that several chapels are already considering the question of providing their own burial grounds. I would suggest that we should form a committee with the chapel representa- tives to go into the matter thoroughly. Tabernacle and Jerusalem burial grounds are practically full now. Mr. Hammond thought that the pro- pooal to form a committee was an excel- lent one. Mr. Edmunds agreed that a cemetery was an urgent necessity, and he ex- pressed the hope that the project would now be dealt with. Mr. Morgan referred to a piece of bud owned by the Stepney Estate which would be suitable for the purpose. Mr. Hammond: Of course, this is a matter for the Council, but it would be a good thing to have a committee including representatives of the various denomin- ations, because it affects them all. Mr. Thomas Davies seconded the sug- gestion of Mr. Evans, and it was carried. It was further agreed that the committee should consist of the following seven members The Chairman, Thomas Davies, A. E. Taylor, J. Evans. J. Davies, R. T. Hammond, and R. G. Thomas. Mr. Edmunds: I think you should have j the Chairman of the Lighting Committee i {)n. N Mr. DI. Davies: No, the dead don't j want any light. It was further decided that each place j j of worship should be invited to appoint j a representative 'to act on the committee. j

r Five Prisoners of War I WHAT LADY HOWARD'S FUND IS DOING. V To the, Editor of the "Star." Sir, r I have much pleasure in placing before you the accounts of the Llanelly Prisoners of War Fund, up to date- We have now five Prisoners on our books, and I should again like to call at-j tention to the fact that the cost per year for each man is L32 8s. (at the rate of three parcels per fortnight at 9s. each), and for the five men j6162. You will notice how few subscriptions we have re- I ceived during the past year, and also that at present there is no balance in hand. I I shall be glad to have the names of other prisoners of war from Llanelly, if there any any. It seems incredible that there should be only five, out of all the men who have joined from the town.

IIY.M.C.A. at Burry Port
I I Y.M.C.A. at Burry Port MR. HIGMAN PROTESTS AGAINST THE RECENT ATTACK. I A letter was read at the, meeting of the Burry Port Council on Thursday from Mr. Frank S. Higmlít, divisional secre- tary of the Y.M.C.A.,Orot( sting against the attacks made on the Y M.C.A. at a (recent meeting. The lettt- ran:- "My attention has been called to a re- port of the proceedings of a recent meet- ing of your Council in which two of the Councillors severely criticized the work of the Y.M.C.A. in Burry Port. I have made careful inquiries into the accusa- tions made against us and find there is not the slightest foundation for them. I beg therefore to enter a strong protest against such criticism being made in Council, when we have no opportunity of answering them. I have placed the mat- ter in the hands of Mr. W. W. Brodie, solicitor, Llanelly,, with instructions to deal with the case. The Clerk said he had had an interview with Mr. Brodie, who told him that the Y.M.C.A. were very vexed at what had been said. He would be glad to know if the Council associated itself with what had been said, and if not, if they would pass a resolution to that effect. The Chairman: I don't think we did. I Mr. Dl. Davies: I should like to know how the matter came before the Council at first. The Clerk: There is no record of it in the minutes. The Chairman: But how did it origin- ate? The Clerk: There was a letter written by me as to getting the Y.M.C.A. hut in a more central part of Burry Port. That is how it started. Mr. Dl. Davies: Does it say what pa- per it appeared? My name was men- tioned -very prominently in the "Star" but what I did say I can confirm. If we are dummies here we don't want a Coun- cil at all. -Xr. J. Davies: What are the accusa- tions ? I don't think we should be deaf and dumb here. Mr. Leyshor I believe the Jeast said about it the better, and I propose that we pa'ss a resolution that we do not associate ourselves with what was said. Mr. Edmunds: Of course I did open the matter, but I simply asked for infor- mation. I did not attack the Y.M.C.A. at all. I only wanted to know wh et her,, the hut wa,s to be removed because it was not a financial sucess, or because it was not necessary. Mr. Dl. Davies It is not fair for any paper to put a bold heading as if I started it. Mr. Edmunds: No, I started it, but not in the way of attacking the Y.M.C.A. at all. I only asked who it was that the Y.M.C.A. were providing for. My name did appear in the paper as. having started the discussion, and that is quite correct. Mr Hammond: I pr.opow as an amend- ment that the matter lie on the table. Mr. Daniel Davies seconded. It was decided by a majority that the matter lie on the table. Mr. J. Evans: You had better take the names. Something might follow this. The voting was :—For the amendment: Messrs. Hammond, Dl. Davies, T Davies, J. Da-viep. and Taylor—5. Against: Choir- man. J.

I Pay of the Police. I" STANDING JOINT COMMITTEE AND THE HOME SECRETARY. At the Carmarthenshire Standing Joint Committee at Carmarthen, Mr. D. W. Drummond presiding, the Secretary of State wrote in reference to the decision to increase the police scale of pay to the Glamorgan standard, stating that the police were entitled to additional re- muneration, but it was not clear whether permanent increased pay was justified by existing circumstances, and therefore the increase in that form could not be ap- proved. It was suggested, therefore, that the increase be paid in the form of a war bonus. The Secretary of State sug- gested that a conference of authorities in neighbouring districts should be held at an early opportunity. Dr. J. H. Williams, Burry Port, moved the granting of the increases decided I upon in the form of a war bonus. Ald. H. I E. B. Richards, who seconded, j said the police were really in need bf the Ii amounts determined uon. He did not see what reason the Secretary of State had for placing obstacles in the way. They I heard of money lavished and thrown away I in the most spendthrift manner by the Government Departments, but when it I came to a matter- of making necessary I provision for the men who safe-guarded the peace of the county they placed diffi- culties in the way. Their decision meant that the ratepayers of the county would have to find the whole of the war bonus instead of receiving one-half of the in- creases from the Exchequer as antici- pated. They never heard of obstacle* to the payment of the salaries of the higher 'I State officials. The motion to pay increases in the form of war bonus was carried unani- mously, and the chairman and Mr. David Evans were appointed to attend a con- ferencc whenever such was summoned, i k

I ,Sir, Not! many Sundays ago a local pastor impressed upon his congregation the serious need of economy in food. It was a timely message, but judging by what followed soon afterwards, its effect was short lived. Not many evenings subse- quently, the choir sat down to a fine spread, with plenty of tea, sugar, cakes, butter, tongues, jellies and nuts. One hears that the bread and butter, and tongue sandwiches were a treat It is not surprising to learn that several of the church memhersre trying to find out where all these nice, things came from. They suggest that as these pre- cious commodities cannot be obtained in the shops, soirees should be held weekly. They further suggest that in regard. to food economy, as well as everything else, example is bettor than precept. I am, Llanelly, ECONOMIST. Jan. 11th, 1918.

This we feel sure I is an oversight, and when it comes to the notice of those employed at the factory it will probably be rectified. Mr. Pugh, who is "a married man, certainly deserves a testimonial.

I fJorocgh Mesaber on I I Conscience. II' PROTEST AGAINST JlHIS INIQUITY." In a lecture on John Penry, the young Welsh martyr, at Tabernacle Baptist Cljupcl, Carmarthen, Mr. W. Llewelyn i Williams, K.C., M.P., referred to the critical days of Queen Elizabeth's reign du.ring which Penry lived, and said he was amazed to hear people say in these days, when there had not been a single invader's foot on British soil, that we were in such a. tremendous emergency and danger* such as this country had j never been through before, and that the most extraordinary legislation was re- j quired to procure the safety of the realm against foreign enemies. He wished people who talked like that would read, a little of the history. of their country. What wa.s there now that the very safeguards of liberty should be done away with in the interest of the defence of the realm ,? Our. forefathers went through a far greater crisis than we have and they kept the citadel of liberty (cheers). Referring to the sentence of two years' imprisonment with hard labour passed on Stephen Hobhouse, the conscientious objector, for disobeying Army orders, Mr. Williams said some conscientious objectors were being pun- ished over and over again for the same offence. He knew of a young Welsh poet who was doing hard labour for the fourth time. As Recorder he had never given two years' hard labour to the. mpst hardened criminal that came before him. Hobhouse was doing what Penry did, obeying tne dictates cf his conscience. Let them not sneer at conscience. "Are we living really in the twentieth century of the ej-a of Christ ?" he asked. "Are people who profess to be Christians so lost to all sense of shame that'; these things are going to be allowed to go on ? I protest against it myself, and in the i name of John Penry, I care nothing what the consequences may be. So long as I have a tongue in my head and can hold a i pen in my hand and utter a word, I shall | utter my protest in every possible way i against this iniquity that fs being perpe- trated among us this day." n
