A Berlin correspondent of the Iemps says that llerr Koske. the German Minis- ter for Defence, during a Speech, said the German arinv had been diminished by two thirds. Referring to the Entente's peace ft rut; Herr Noske said they were baseu tri a condition of things which had passed away, and added: 11 If, from an industrial country, a centre of production, essential for its economic life, is taken away or if its in- dustrial labour is made responsible for that which remains. in tho country, then it cannot live, and much inevitably perish." He suggested as the only way out a union of the nations for work in common based on mutual interest.

I SWANSEA'S HEALTH. I  TiiE Mrs A??!PAI?CHS OF W.LFA? WORK ?LIS 1 FEWER AFFECTED GASES I I The- appointment of a senior assistant medical otiicer and &ix new health visitors tor Swansea, and the decision to re-ad- vertise lor three assistant M.O.'a for mat- erijily, chiiurui welfare and school in- -specliuu wori;, draws attention to develop- ments in the perfaonal side of the Health i>cpartment's work that, now war con- ditions are UlLt of the way, may be con- iidently espccteil. Early extensions, however, It perhaps n-eeds to be pointeo out, will not be so great'as the number or appointments would suggest. Pre-war, Dr. Evans had tv;) assistants on this woTk, and has now only a temporary one, while of th« six new health visitors three are for the added areas (the Council did not take over nurses from the Swansea Lural or Cla.morgan County Councils). two till vacancies, and one i. a temporary nurse who now gets a permanent position. At the moment, the staff consists of 11 visitors, of whom two hold temporary ap- pointments. LLAN6ASV1LET AND FFORESTFACH. I The Medical Oiiicer of I'.calth's plans in regard to centres at Llansamlet and Fioretittach, in addition to Trinity-place, Jforriston, and St. Thomas, have natur- ally not been fully developed, it being impossible yet to estimate clofely the great amount of additional work that will be involved in the extension of baby welfare activiins to anti-natal condi- tions and up to school age. it is, lioni,i: ever, probable that except in Swansea, where the two distinct institutions will remain, the clinic work will be done in the centres, ard that where possible Lluntamlet and FVorostfach children will be brought into Morriston. There are two voluntary centres—one at llryn- liyfryd (American Red' Cross), and the other at Mumbles—and the functions of these under new conditions will obviously be among the problems of consideration. Two mouths will probably elaps V before most of the new officials will commence work. THANKLESS PREVENTATIVE WORK The Medical Officer of Health is en- I thusiastic over the pro-spec's of this •lew., war-delayed work. Health autho- ritics, not long ago, primarily con- cerned themselves v.iJi improving domestic and street Limitation and I sewerage disposal and the prbper isolà- I tion of infectious disease. That was very important work, and it has had exceedingly far-reaching effects. Put they ail now realise. that there arc per- haps ever more important preventa- tives of iil-he;:dth in this ante-natal lid child welfare work. "Like the sanitary work which preceded it and must al- ways accompany itt it is not "showy" work those who do it are not noticed and thanked as the people who operate and attend on seriously diseased ( r seriously injured people. It is even thankless work. A FITTER SWANSEA. I But which, after all," Dr. Evans asked the writer, is more important, and in the best interests of the individual and the community, that after much pain a man shall be successfully operated upon for a dangerous growth on the brain or that he shall escape it because, when a child, a simple case of ear discharge following measles was promptly and cleanly trcatedP Swansea is free from typhoid because of continuous, drab, sanitary work of which most people do not realise the importance. I believe that a future Swansea will have much less deafness and lameness, much less mothers* ailments, because of the work we are planning to do. And the expense wil, probably not be as large as the money spent on the last named alone."

AN ARGYLE-SERMON. I Excerpts from the Rrv. A. Wynne Thomas's I sermon at Argyle Chapel on Sunday morn- ing :— It is a gigantic mistake to suppose that great suffering and fea.r sueh as we have passed through, followed by mighty and ciignal deliverances—it is a great mistake I to suppose that these things are going to make people religious.

Herr Ebert, addressing the crowd, said: I There is a cry of 1 ndignatioii right through Germany at tho Peace condnons, this product of our ene-mies' revengeful hysteria. Germans from foreign coun- tries, as well as those who are-to be com- pelled to give up their beloved Father- land are to have no rights. Free activity in those places abroad, where formerly you performed economic and cultural work, is. according to our enemies' will, to be denied you. I "WE WILL NEVER SIGN." I t H Gentlemen, despite all we will not lose courage. Foreign countries which know German industry and prA' ity will not permit of the proscription AT Ger- many. They will raise tiuir voices with us that this peace of enslavement, which we will never sign, shall hot come to pa^s, but that there shall be a peace by Iundet-stan(iiiig and concittahon."

I TRAIL OF FEATHERS. Few! Case From LSandebie. Two fowls which were missed from J Piode Fawr Farm, Llandebie, Oil Satur- day night, left a trail of feathers, and one of them laid an egg in a fence which led to the home of Evans, a timber feller, Ivy Cottage. Brenu-road, Llande- bie, who at Ammanford Police Court on Monday was charged with the theft. The owner of the fowls, Vvilliam Llew- ellyn, valued the birds at 8s. each, and said of 32 he found only 30 on Sunday morning. P.C. Kennedy, in the company of Sergt. Morgan, said he followed the trail of the feathers, and found an egg outside a fence belonging to the defendant. On the in- vitntion of the mother the ofricers searched the premises, and in a tin trunk in ono of the bedroom they found a white hen under a lot of other things Accused, when asked for an explanation. aid he took the fowl. When charged at the police station, Evans said. I did it in my beer. It was not for want. What- ever came to my head to do such a flin I 11 He was afterwards removed to Ammanford, and when searched a Vack ifpather was found upon him. When charged there he said. T took two. They are at the house. I told my mother about them before yon came there." The other hen had not been recovered. | Accused pleaded guilty. P.S. Morgan said that accused had been suspected of fowl stealing, and he be- lieved accused was responsible for a great deal of fowl stealing in the district since 11!H5. During that period 35 hens, 8 j ducks, 5 turkeys, and 3 geese, valued at fj22, had been missed. I FINED 210.

Still, of them there was some doubt. Defendant would I be given thV option of paying £ 10 and S2 7s. Gd. c-o-sts; 01 go to prison for two months' hard labour.

A SOLDIER'S CHILDREN. I 'L To the Editor. I I I -1 1 I tsir,—in rciercnre to tlie application by a demobilised soldier to place his children in the Cottage Homes, which re- fused, his children were forced into the ITIlion. Let one who knows state frankly that the soldier in question, who has the D.C.M. and M.M. in this war, has also fought for his country in the South Africaii War, and holds the King's and Queen's Medal, with live bars. How proud Swansea ought to feel of such a fine record! lie was unfortunate to lose his 'I wife during his service in France, and absolutely placed in such a position that he had to find a home for hLs motherless children. Surely, to refuse such a man the entrance of his children to the Cottage Homes seems almost unbelievable after all he has done for his country. Also, let it be plainly stated that he didn't want charity, but just to be I allowed to support his children until he could find them a home.—Yours, etc. Sympathiser. I [The matter has been brought to the notice of the Naticnal Federation of Dis- charged Sailors and Soldiers, and the see- retary has now found a home for the children. On Wednesday another man, who claims to be a discharged soldier suf- fering from shell-shock, was admitted to the Workhouse. The Federation is in- quiring into this case.)

I SUNLIT Sv ANSEA. Great Business in Drapery Houses. Swansea drapers smile. All the new and late fashions are in their windows, and selling freeiy. The last week has been a great one for Swansea drapers, and in the coming week they are all looking forward to something better; that is if the weather continues sum- mery, and the men on the docks begin to earn money. But in spite of dock trouble, monev seems freer with work- ing people. They earn money, and they ¡' spend it. Drapers' shops were never fuller, and the goods offered were never of a better class. FORTY-EIGHT HOURS' WEEK. Business is, indeed, so good and so well organised and arranged that it can be efficiently done in a decent number of hours. Late shopping is dead. We understand that a request has been made by .the Swansea shop assistants for a generally recognised week of 48 hours in Swansea. The assistants have not yet received the employers' decision on this matter, but it is extremely iikely that the 48: hours' week will be in force before very long.

THE AFGHAN RISING. A statement issued by the Indian Gov- ernment shows that the Afghan invasion of India was preceded by a threatened rebellion, and the new Ameer embarked on warlike operations in order to distract attention from his internal trouble. The Viceroy's stern warning was disregarded. Since the Afghan troops moved over the border the altitude of the Indian frontier tributeg has been perfectly staunch.

The Citadel was packed long before the service commenced, and many unable- to get in. The service was most impressive j The hymns selected were deeply stirring. The Citadel Songsters sang very well their selected piece, entitled; "There is a light in the valley." The Band which by the way, has made great strides j of late, played well their selsction; His cross not greater than his grace Mr. Bond, a iocad well-known Salva- tionist for thirty-three years, and who had known the local Sergt. for all that time, spoke in eulogistic terms of him as a dutifu' eor. a good husband and father. It was evident that his remarks were thoroughly appreciated by the vast con gregation. The new officers in charge 6f the Corps (Kn^.gn and Mrs. Fletcher) also took part ii, the service. Maj. Thornett (Divisional Commander) for the Swansea Division- preached a forceful and powerful address which moved at heart" rhere w?!e rainy evi- '1ent eigne of this.
