An official note issued to-night says » that the German Government, in reply < to the communication of the Allied and associated Governments, has accepted their conditions, and will send to Ver- eaille-s delegates provided with the nec-es- ■' eary powers to negotiate preliminaries of J peace. The delegates will be Count Brock- dorii Rantzan (Minister for Foreign Affairs), Herr Landsberg (Minuter of Justice), Herr Giesberts (Minister of Ports), Herr Leiner (Piesident of the .-) Pruscian. N atil)nal Assembly), Dr. Alel choir, and Professor Schuecking The total number of German delegates and E&ite will be about 75. The delegates w'll probably not arrive before April 28th. -) The Press Association adds that Dr. Melohoir is the manager of the firm of Warburg and Co., and Professor Schuec- king is an international lawyer. GERMANY MAY REFUSE. I In a statement to the special Berlin corr2spondent of the Daily Chronicle," Herr Scheidemann, the German Premier, duJarès that h'õ Govcrnment must sub- the terms to the Weimar Assembly I before acceptance The correspondent is doubtfult whether the Germans will 6ign the treaty at all, in view of the feeling in Germany. THE GERMAN PEACE DELEGATES. I Copenhagen, Tuesday.—The German Government has* notified the French Gov- ernment that Count Kanteau will go to France only if permission is givei for the Commission to have full liberty to go where it likes to discuss terti.s, aDd to be all the while in communication with Berlin.—Ex<;iiai,pe. TI-ME OF- P-UBLI-CATION. J Paris. Tuesday.—It is now doubtful j, whether the text of the peace prelimin- aries will be published before the last day 1 of the month.

TI NPLATE- NOTICES. I Peril in the TisipBate Trade. I As is well known in tinplate circles {write* «i iaiplate c^rrrefpofxcVnt), 'Hi"? „a. nealers contravened the principles con- tained in the Welsh Sheet and Tinplate •» Conciliation Board by handing in notices to terminate contracts at the end of the 1 present month, as a result of dissatisfac- ( tion .with an arrangement recently made on their behaii, namely, an advance of Is 6d. per 100 boxes. The anneaiers* demand is for the intro- duction of an additional man per mill. If the men persist in allowing their notices to run out, and the trade oome to » standstill, it will mean that the-claims oif bar-cutting millmen, picklers, tin- housemen. and other sections, will not be -clisinissed, nor will the Industrial Council meet in case of a rupture. The notices, we understand, have still 14 days to run.

BOX OF CHOCOLATES. I Cyril Ayres, a youth of 18, described as I a number taker, was remanded for a week I at Swansea on Tuesday on a charge of stealing and receiving a box of chocolates, value 8s., the property of the G.W.R. Co. Bail was allowed.

3 A STREET SERVICE. I I > There was a flavour of revival out- t Iidè the Leader" office on Tuesday I morning, when a young man named Jones. I of Seven Sisters, took up a stand, with a ( few other men, two with large texts on bamboo poles, and others with melodeons. A good crowd gathered .to listen to the to speakers' Morels, which were delivered L both in English and Welsh. The sight seemed truly strange in the main street of the town, especially when the singing, joined in by a large number commenced.

HOUSING IN WALES. I The national policy of housing and I planning as it affects Wales, is the sub- ject of a paper to te delivered on the I evening of Thursday next, before the I Society of Architects, by Mr. Charles T. Ruthen, F.R.I.B.A. During the last 15 I months Mr Huthen has acted in an honorary capacity for the State in the K proyision 0f Government office accommo- dation. and although his work in that ? connection has been the subject of con- 6iderabl criticism, it. is claimed that the buildings requisitioned have been eco- nomically utilised.

BRILLIANT WELSHMAN. I Death' of Rov. Timothy Richards, I V.- D.D. mi « rv: > me Kev. xiuiotfty Richards, D.D., Litt-D., who has just passed away at the ► age of 73, was a distinguished 6on of K Wales'. His early days were spent in the southern half of the Principality. Timothy Richards was born in 1845 in the village of Ffaldybreiiin Carmar- thenshire. At the age .of thirteen he was baptised in the open river, and became a member of the Church at Salem, Caio. t. At eighteen he took charge of the En- dowed School at Conwil lilted. Two years later he entered the Haverfordwest Col- lege. As a lad his heart had been bent on raif^ionary work, and in 1$69 he was accepted by the Baptist Missionary Society and set sail for China. For a k. time lie was stationed at Ching Chou 1* u, subsequently removing to the capital k of the Province Shansi, T'»i Yuen Fu. In 1891 lie undertook the secretarial duties h of the society for the diffusion of i. Christian general knowledge amongst the Chinese l His influence among high officials was most pofpnt. and he was an adviser upon reforms to the then Emperor. He be- L came a mandarin of the Chinese Emperor •with the Red Button of the First Rank. I and might, had he chosen, have become ? OnB of the greatest men in China. During the Sban?i famine he went into the in- tenor on relief w6rk. „ '? f

THE TYNE ON THE ROCKS. I The above sketch shows clearly the position of the R.M.S.P. liner Tyne, as it lies at Langland. m Thp good ship Tyne, of London, of some 7,0d0 toiie. burthen, still lies on the rocks off Langland Bay, every succeeding ticl* lessening the chances of her eventual sal- vage and every day adding thousands to the numbers of those who have visited the scene to witness the unwonted spectacle of a vessel stranded at the popular bay. Those who should knmv declare that her back is broken, and if that proves to be the case, then the hopes of saving her a- very thin. The steamship Tyne left Victoria Docks, London, on Wednesday morning, with a partial general cargo for South America. She was bound for Swansea to complete her loading, and had come around the Land" when &he fell into a thick mist, Her troubles increased early on Saturday morning, and were thought to have cul- minated when she collided with the French brigantine, Fleur de Marie, of St. Servan, which won bound for L'Orient with a cargo of coal from Cardiff, cutting straight through the small craft, but suc- ceeding in rescuing her crew of five. "BREAKERS AHEAD!" Shortly before 10 a.m. on Saturday, while the bank of mist was still impene- trable at times, a sudden lightening en- abled the navigating' officer to discern on the aort bow Sn-apleg Point, which, in the mist, may ha\e looked dangerously like Mumbles Head. The vessel continued on her course, until a sudden warning, Breakers ahead!" came from the man on the look-out. The Tyne was heading straight for the rocks east of Rotherslade Bay. She had indeed passed inside the little bank known locally a4 Crab Island. The order to the man at the wheel was a st»cc.nd or two too late to be exketive. Ii-r-ip! Cr-a-ash! The bottom was in contact with rocks along which a craft of, [ any size had very seldom oome. In the fog, Snaples Point looks dangerously like the Mumbles Head, and there were sufficient fog-bound craft brought up in the vicinity to give by their sirens a passible imitation of Jasper's Baby," as we old natives still call the fog-signal on the Head. First, messages were inclined to put the damage into small dimensions. The ship had merely grounded, and would float on the next tide. She had suffered little or no damage. But those aboard knew better. The salvage boats were soon on the spot like birds of prey—or should we say like guardian angers? And the sounds of the pumps indicated that the ship was making water. A SLIGHT EXPLOSION. Early in the afternoon, as the tide was rising again, there was a rather alarming incident. One of the steam pipes burst, and amidst the noise of the explosion and tho subsequent rush of steam there was a stampede on the part of the Lascars who form the stokehold complement. How- ever, nobody was injured. Later in the evening the crew were taken into Swansea by the tug Trusty, and only a watch was left aboard. THOUSANDS OF VISITORS. All day Sunday, And again on Monday, throngs of holiday-makers assembled jn, the vicinity of the stranded ship, an everybody from the old shell-back to th" longshoreman and verie-st landlubber dis- cussed her chances. Those who took boat and rowed around her were able to se- the, extent of the visible damage. More expert examination revealed the truth- the steamer Tyne, of the, Royal Mail Steam Packet Co., t;.),5 register 2,909 tons, has broken her biicl-, and the chances oi getting her cff intact are nil. The next move may possibly be made by some, modern Gilliatt, with things very much more in his favour, in the way of remov- ing her engines and leaving the hulk to its doom. Hopes of getting the ship off, how- ever, are not altogether abandoned. LOSS OF "FLEUR DE MARIE." I An eye-witness of the scene of the loss. of the Fleur de Marie told the story simply. We were proceeding in dense foy very cautiously, he said, when there was an impact that shook the Tyne's ro. ca,ztle, and we ascertained in a momen- tary lift in the haze that we had cut right through a small sailing ship. The crew, who were in the water, swam for the boat, though one or two had already got aboard her—probably down the rope. She was I ast off from the sinking ship just in time, and all five got aboard the boat. They were soon transferred to the Tyne, having I escaped wonderfully with no more than a wetting and the shock of their experience." SALVAGE CHANCES. We have become somewhat familiaT with salving operations in South Wales lately, and the public who were on the spot on Sunday and Monday were apecu- lating as to the chances of saving the Tyne. The semi-official view of the situa- tion seems to be that the only chance of salvage is to saw the ship into two halves, and save her in the sections. The sub- I sequent reconstruction in such cases in- volves the lengthening nf the craft and i the provision of a new kei-zel bar-a device that is to a steel ship whpt a! back-bo^e is to a man. I TWO MEN INJURED. ,Two of the Tyne's crew are on the in- jured list, one having fallen down the hold'. He lies in thf.Swansea Hospital, to which institution he was taken on Saturday. The other man's injuries are of a minor character.

I REVOLUTION IN' TURKEY. SOVIET RULE DECREED. I PARIS, Monday (received Tuesday).

ALL RECORDS BROKEN. I Swansea Caterers' Premises I h Beseiged. I Ail records were broken by Messrs. R. E. Jones, Ltd., the well-known Swansea caterers, during Eastertide. The firm were prepared for the rush, and were not caught napping. The results when totalled up on Tues- day were extraordinary. Not only have they broken all records, but they show all increase of nearly 300 per cent. on last Easte^ Monday and nearly 100 per cent. on the highest figures they have ever toucliccL l'le firm, however, are by no means -'d

FOR FRENCH Rffl CROSS.

I MAY DAY BAILWAYMEN WANT TO CELEBRATE I (CONTRIBUTED.) ,1'L i  A joint meeting 01 me mancnes oi un- National Union of Railway men, compris- ing the Landore, Swansea 1, 2, and 3 Branches, representing 2,000 members, welcomes the decision of the Swansea Labour Association to hold a May-Day demonstration, at Swansea on Saturday, May 3rd. With a view to the railwaymen attending the demonstration, it was decided to approach the railway com- panies to request a modified goods train service on this date, thereby releasing a large number of men. In the opinion of the railwaymen, this is a reasonable request, and one that could be met. We have therefore decided to approach the railway management on the terms o; the following resolution, which was car- ried unanimously:— That this committee, representing 2,000 organised railwaymen, decides to approach the railway companies at an early date, it possible this week, with a view to running a modified service of goods and mineral trains service on Saturday, May 3rd, with a view oi enabling organised railwaymen to attend the May-Day demonstration which is being organised to be held at Swansea on Saturday, May 3rd, 1919."

MINERS' EASTER EGG. Free Spending Sends Up Prices. Although some of the ootlierycom.panies in South Wales found it impossible to get their accounts ready in time to enable them to pay the minors their extra 2s. per day back money under the Sankey a naxd laet iveokf,iiieay thousands of the men received it. It was, in fact, paid at the majority of the colliei^es, and ranged from afbout 47 16s. per man downwards, according to the number of days worked imder the award. In many places, especially in the Rhoaidda, the drapery shops were cleared out" on Saturday night by those going for holidays, aad so anxious were the men and their families to secure the very best of everything, that they were not satisfied with the sums asked for hats, neck-ties, etc., and, consequently, prices were put up, because dearer a-rticles were not in stock.

TO-DAYS ALLOTMENT HINT. I Allotment holders have had a glorious time during the Easter holidays, and many have made up the arrears due to the unfavourable climatic conditions of the early spring.' Those who have not yet been able to complete the digging should put in seed in the parts of the plot already turned over. Beans, peas, parsnips, carrots, can yet be planted, but no time should now be lost in getting them into the ground. Allotees were busy during the week end putting in the main crop potatoes. Give plenty of room between t.he rows. If three feet is allowed space will be available for intercropping later in the season with brocoli, Brussol sprouts and kale. Growff rj" ¡J- JI J

I AN EASTER SERMON. I I The Rev. H. C. Mander on f # Historical Evidence. I In his Easter morning sermon at I Mount Pleasant, Swansea, Rev. H. C. I Mander said it was true that their re- ligion must ultimately rest upon the great historic facts of the Gospel, but let them be sure that they included all the facts. The examination of the sacred records, to which modern criticism had driven Christian scholarship, was a necessary work, but was it not possible that the development of the historical sense had somewhat shaken their consciousness of the present fact of the daily presence of Christ in the life of His people and in the services of His Church? They had developed into wonderful theoretical experts and philosophical apologists, but was there with them that consciousness of a living union with a I living Christ which was the heart of their religion ?
