Victory Lo?n. THE CAMPAIGN IN LLANELLY. I Mr. S. Glynne Jones, who 'has been appointed Commissioner for Wales in connection with War Savings, delivered a stirring address at a meeting of the Chamber of Commerce on Wednesday. All were agreed, he said, as to the im- perative need for stabilising the national finances. The success of the Victory Loan would mean a great gain to trade and commerce, and he believed it would be a substantial step towards reconstruc- tion. The whole national debt of the country before the war was due to 345,000 persons—just a select few of the wealthy people of the country. He thought that was a dangerous condition of affairs. What was the position to- day ? The national debt was a personal concern to over 20 millm people of this country, which made in very large measure for national stability (applause) We had taught millions of people to save who had never saved before. Last week, in the quiet times, without any special eifort going on, 12 million War Savngs Certificates were sold. The schools in Llanelly, week in, week out, were selling about 2,000 War Savings Certificates (applause). On the last two occasions Llanelly raised over £ 1,400,000, but there were towns far less prosperous than Llan- elly now aiming at a quota of L15 per head. He appealed to the employers to co-operate with their workmen to ensure ?. successful campaign. The Mayor (Coun. Dan Williams, J.P.) said he would like to see Llanelly coming out on top if possible.

WORKS PRESENTATION. I On Saturday last Mr. H. C. Davies, the electrician-in-charge at the South Wales Works and R. T. Mills, severed his connection with the firm where he has been employed for the last twelve years, to undertake a similar position in Guildford, Surrey. Prior to his departure, his fellow- workmen presented him with a silver watch as a small token of regard. The meeting took place in the ElectricalShop and was presided over by Mr. Oliver Lewis, foreman mason, who in explain- ing the object of the gathering, spoke of the excellent spirit shown by such meet- ing. He also wished their departing friend every success in his new venture. iMr.E. W. Francis, in a neat speech, handed over the watch, and Mr. Davies feelingly responded. Others who spoke were Messrs. W. Matthews, J. Evans, J. E. Hooper and Enoch Morris, all testifying to the ex- cellent sportsmanlike qualities displayed by Mr. Davies, also expressing the hope that Mrs. Davies would be completely restored to her former health and vigour. The meeting terminated with "For he's a jolly good fellow.

SOME WAR COINCIDENCES. I Is it not remarkable, writes a corres-I pondent:- 1.—That the war should end where it began, and that Mons should be taken just before the signing of the Armistice. 2.—That the Kaiser, when he abdi- cated and fled to Holland, should have to run the gauntlet through the country he had devastated and ruined. 3.-That when the German Fleet were surrendering to the Grand Fleet our troops in Belgium were marching across the plains cf Waterloo. 4.—That the Armistice should be signed on the 11th day of the 11th month at 11 o'clock. 5.—That the Peace Conference should take place on January 18th, 1919, just 48 years from the date on which the German' Empire was proclaimed by an army of invasion in the Chateau of Ver- sailles. 6.-That the Treaty of should be signed on Saturday afternoon, exactly five years after the assassination of the Austrian Archduke Ferdinand, which thus gave the Kaiser the pretext for the war.
