ALIEN PILOTS. I i t ————— K Swansea M.P. in I t Important Debate. I » I > Government Defeat. I i The question of the licensing of a-lien djjfciots was responsible for the defeat oi fiite Government in the House of Com- inons yesterday, and a prominent part was played by Mr, James Wignall, M.P., a Swansea Labour official. On Clause 4, which provides that no alien shall hold a pilotage certificate for any pilotage district in the United King- I dom, Mr. Shortt moved to amend the clause j "fry adding at the end exeept in the cases for which special provision is made by the Pilotage Act, 1913." He said the question was thoroughly threshed out at a Convention held between our- selves and France, and the agreement came to was embodied in the Act of,1913, and was mutually satisfactory parties. Mr. Wignall (Lab, Forest of Dean) op- pos J the amendment. It was his firm conviction, he said, that British ships had been sent to the bottom by aliens I who held pilotage certificates in the I British Isles. Captain Stanley "Wilson (Co. U, Hol- derness) joined in the appeal to his right I "hon. friend to withdraw the amendment. If it was pressed to a division he would feel compelled to vote with the Labour Party. Sir A. Geddes (President of the Board of Trade) said there sesiued to be some mis- conception on this matter. The position was that there were now 24 masters of vessels engaged in what might be called a lerry service, who were not British and I who had a right to pilot their ships into two ports only, Grimsby and Newhaven. That number could not possibly be in- creased. None of these individuals were Germans, or Ausfcrians, or subjects of any I of the nations with whom we had boen at war. Certain of them held certificates t granted before Jjine ]st, 1908. Those eer- tiScates might be kept alive for the use of those now holding them, but they could not be renewed. MR. BRACE AMAZED. I Mr. Braoe (Labour, Abertillery, said he I was amazed both at the proposal of the Government and at the speech of the right hon. gentleman. It would be difficult to realise from his remarks that we had just been engaged in a great war. This was not a question for the Government, but for the House of Commons and the nation. We were an island people, and our great bulwark was the water surrounding us. Sir F. Banbury (Co. TJ. City of London) suggested that the amendment should Had "except in the case of France, to which country the special provision made by the Pilotage Act of 1913 shall apply." Mr. Shortt the Government were prepared to accept the words suggested by Bir F. Banbury. Sir W. Rutherford (Co. XT., Liverpool, Edgehill) said at the outbreak of war there were no fewer than nine Germans holding pilotage certificates in this coun- try, and he had not the least doubt that tr.v, and h(3 had n<)t I. some of them guided the enemy's sub- marines which destroyed many of our hips. A pilot's certificate should only be granted to a British-born subject. (Rear, hear.) THE AGREEMENT WITH FRANCE. I Sir A. UE'dd. replying to Sir W. Joyn- Inn-Hicks (Co. U., Twickenham), said the Government could not depart from their agreement with France, under which tl)'* trade of this country received something of great importance. He was advised that no complications would arise with record to other countries. THE HOSTILE VOTE. i Sir F. Banbury's amendment to the amendment was agreed to. The House divided on the amendment as amended, and there voted: For the amendment .I. 113 Against 185 Majority against. 72 The announcement of the figures, show- ing a defeat of the Government, was re- ceived with loud cheers Mr. Parker (Lord of the Treasury) and ,Liput.-Col. G. F. Stanley (Co.-U., Pres- ton) were the tellers for the amendment, ,1- and Mr. Wignall (Lab., Forest of-Dean) and Mr. Inskip (Co.-U., Bristol Central) against. Mr. Bonar Law rose at once, and said: In view of the decision just announced, i I beg to move that the further considera- tion of the Bill be postponed. The motion was agreed to and the house adjourned until Monday. In connection with the question at issue, the" Times" of to-day contains an interesting letter from Capt. W. J. Davies, of Swansea, in which he says:- "Nature has been good enough to pro- vide us with an island home, which ii j sensibly used is protection itself. I re- t'er to the shallows, the sandbanks, and other impediments of navigation in our estuaries and leading to our seaports. The navigation of such should be in the hnnds of Britigh-born pilob. and it is up to the aiirl it is 111) i-, file public to see that our politicians no longer side-slip this all-important matter."

REPRESENTATIVE. I
REPRESENTATIVE. I Successful Neath Tem- perance Meetings. The temperance campaign at Nwith was continued on Thursday night at the Gwyn Hall, when the attendance was the largest and moat enthusiastic of the week, the hall being packed. Moreover the audience and platform was representative of all creeds and politico, Anglican and Nonconformist, Liberal, Conservative, and Labour. The ^Bishop of Llandaff presided, and supporting him were Lord Clwyd (Presi- dent North Wales Temperance Union), Mr. J. Hugh Edwards, M.P., Mr. W. Jones Thomas, J.P. (vice-president of the Union), Rev. Wilson Stuart (organising- secretary United Kingdom Alliance), Rev. J. D. James, M.A. (Rural Bean, Cadox- ton, Neath)..Rev, Thos. Morgan (Skewen), Rev. J. Glyn Davies (Chester), Mrs. lies (British Women's Temperance Union, of Bridgend), Mrs. Principal Edwards (Car- dift), Miss lio&ma Davias (Merched v De), Air. R. A. Williams (president Neath. Union), -1-iiss K. Williams and Mr. F. S. Wlilmot (local secretaries), and local I minsters. GREAT LESSONS. I The Bishop of Llandaff, who met with I a great reception, after referring to the I -h new constitution of the Union, eard that there were great leasons to be learned from the recent great war. There was a danger, he declared, of learning the vices of the vanquished. There was a tendency of exerting might uglLst night, i and of putting aside reason, justice and fair play. Ho hcped that they would fight against that tendency. (Cheers.) i Buriing the war the r"triet;ons imposed by the Liquor Control Board had con- j eider-ably reduced intemperance. He j was ghifl that the Welsh Tempera-ne.. Umon were. now promoting a Bill to se- cure temperance legislation for Wales. He hoped that all the org9.1Ú;atiollG would co-operate in getting it passed iuii-o law. (Cheers.) The.r policy and methods were to educate the people personally, socially, [ and nationa,lly. (Applause.) Dealill wifch the 12 points," the Bishop said that one of then-, was local ophon, and there was more unanimity over thr.6 than any other poirnt. (Applause.) Another, of thom was the abolition of grocers' j licences, and he aid not think there was any cUvision of opinion over this. (Loud cheers.) i PRIVATE INTERESTS. I Another important point was that pri- vate interests must yield to public good. (Applause). They would be asked to give these private interests time to get rid of their investments or to buy them out. ) They must deal fairly and justly with those people. (Cheers). He did not think t that the time had arrived in this country j when they could do what had been done ) in America. The time may come, but it I had not come yet; but he did think that the people of this country should have the power in their hands to say whether • the "Trade" should continue in their various localities. (Loud applause). Efforts were being made to try and get the licensed houses open for 12 hours. He I Loped that the people who were clamour- ing for 48 hours a week would not allow j barmaids to be worked for 12 hours a day. jj (Cheers). I LORD CLWYD. I Lord Clwyd said Wales was indeed for- tunate in having the Bishop of Llandaff as one of the stalwarts in the Temperance movement. (Cheers). In his (.the ¡;peuker's) 17 years' Parliamentary life I lie always pieced Temperance in the fore- front Qfilis tareer. (Cheers). They were lacing a momentous future, and tempei- II ance must have a paramount place in I that future. (Applause). Since some o; the war time restrictions on drink had been removed, drunkenness had in- creased. They must persuade the Gov- ernment that they desired those restric- tions to continue. (Cheers). He wanted to see Wales take a leading and honour- able, part' in the new world that was opening before them, but they could not I do that unless they were free from the fetters of drink. (Applause). I ENMITY DONE WITH. I Mr. J. Hugh Edwards, M.P., said he was delighted to see tho Anglican church and the Nonconformist church standing side by side on that platform. He was glad that the old enmity between the church and Nonconformity had been I done with, for ever. (Cheers). Dealing with the policy of the Welsh Temperance Party, he maintained that Wal?s shadd I pecur? the sa?p treatment as was given i to Scotland. (Cheers). The power to de- upon local licenses should be in the j hands of the town, not in the hands of 1 I men on the /.uagist;Jrial bend,I. ((eer,"), .11 The hev," llon StuarT, M.A., smùtbat the ideal of the organisation which he represented was total prohibition. Noth- ling else was adequate for them, and he I i believed that the time was coming when J thi.t ideal would he realised. I During the meeting choruses were ren- II tiered by the United Temperance Choir, conducted by Mr. Matthew Davies, Mus. Bac.
j HILL CHAPEL.I ) ___?___
j HILL CHAPEL. I ) _?_ Memorial Taktet to the Fallen I Unveiied. I I Look not on this in sorrow, but in I 1 And r-trive to live as nobly as they died. Thus a tablet in Hill Chapel to the mo:iiory of seven men, including Lieut. W. Poivc-ii, who fell in the war. It was unveiied on Thursday evening by Lieut.- Colonel Helme, D.S.O., 1.C., under the ohairm:inr.hip of Lieut.-Col. Dyson Wil- liams. Th)tgh rain fell heavily, the, was n attendance. The Rev. David I Thorn.i op<-j)c;l with a prayer. T1!Chairman said his thoughts wero overwhelming. In a very few weeks in j Vraiue they had made greater friendships, afcd knew people better than before. JT", feared there was a tendency to forget. The reception of Colours and official re- ceptions were but a very small part of their dutv to those who had fought and died. MLtS Anthony sang Nearer my God !Thee," and the memorial tabkt was then unveiled by T,ieiit.-Colonel Holme. The only one he personally knew was T.ieut. W. Bowen. During a severe fight he had led his platoon, Imbuing his men with cheerful optimism. The Colonel re- celled General Haig's order that they were fighting with their backs to the wall, say- ing that in such a time it was a great thing to have officers whom you knew. He did,not think there was any comrade- ship in history like t'hat generated by this war. I The Rev. David Thomas proposed, and Councillor Miller seconded, a vote of thanks to the chairman and Lieut.Colonel Helme, the latter giving as instance of devotion to duty the return of R. Charles I Turner, a pioneer in the R.E., when in condition of health which might have ex- 1 cused him, and his death at Boulogne. I There were a few word from Mr. W. Rowen. who presented Lieut.-Colonel H>lme with the flag used for unveiling. whieh had been suitably inwi-ibfd.

Friday was withdraway day in the I Swansea Co-uncil election, and as a result there is one more unopposed retuxii-thak of Mr. David Richards in the St. John's Ward, where Mr. w. D. Rees, colliery agent, retires. There are thus straight contests in seven ,Tirds:C-astle, Bryn- melin,, Landore, Morriston, St. Thomas, Oystermouth, and Cockett. Ex-Alderman G. H. Col will's unop- posed return in Kilvey surprised no one as iutich as the sitting member (Mr. S. Davifs) who was prepared with gix nomi- nation papers, and had them in his poc- ket while at work on Thursday, under the impression, owing to the confusion of dates, that the nomination day was Sat- urday. The last edition of the papers j showing that he had lost his seat came as a shock, as he intended putting in his papers on Friday, a day before, as he im- agined. Mr. Da'deos came to the Town Clerk's office, a sintended of course, unarailingly. He had been confident of winning the seat easily.

It will be remembered that the obsaquieiB were delayed owing: to the railway strike. A number of the residents of Abercrave and the upper roacshes of the valley, amongst whom were many of the poor of the district, who had derived considerable help from the g-reat songstress, lined the route to pay their last tribute of respect bo one whom they had Iored for so rnanv years.

Bland's instalment of Lord Ninian Stuart's dÍètry up-to-date brings us to the eve of the Battle of 1 he li r.-Ti 7,o I tern Redoubt, in which Lord Xiifian met a glorious death. Lieut. Bland describes the early trench experiences of the 6th Welsh, aud mentions how Ta-cly Xinian initiated the idea of giving the Battalion a dis- f tinctive ribbon to wear. THE REDOUBT. Dealing with the arrival of the Battalion at Vermeiles, the diary says: After being on the road for sixteen and a half hours "the battalion took over at 0.30 on the nest morning, October 1, its- portion in the Mohpnzollorn Redoubt. The Redoubt .stood out from the enemy' winding line, and was the only point of eminence in a stretch of flat ground. At first one with positive stupefaction over a scane of diabolical desolation. A meandering walk of miles of quag- mire communication trench took the unit into the quarry, which a mark for the 1 Jack Johnsons' and other h,.v.vy shell. Two entrances, rhjlit and left, led to the approaches of the redoubt through scenes of horror. Mangled bodies and faces peered out of the turf, strips of legs and human- ity made part of the sides of the trenches, and throughout its approaches it was a limbo of horror and an abomination of desolation. FIERCE FIGHTING. Here the fighting was so fierce a!id the trenches so much battered that ambuss had to be made by piling the ahcred dead, which, it was impossible to remove with- out being sniped by the Germans, who fired on anything, whether IZE-I Crow or burial parties. The only real progress that could be made was by bombing, and of bombs the British had few, aitd, fewer .,till who knew how to uss them, whilcf liehind the gunners" ere rationcd. • During the day there whs a hasty con- sultation of the battalion commanders, nod the brigadier issued orders for an at- tack and the capture of Little I at eight o'clock. The attack was outlined to be made by the Ist v\ el»ii, with tit a Welsh bombers in fit-out.. Lieut, (later I Capt.) H. C. Hawkins was in command of I- 1. C. llawj, ln,6 %.as i,,x (,uiiiman d of It was obvious from the strategical importance of the position that the enemy, with his preponderance of shell, would koep up and maintain a heavy fire of artil- lery. and for weeks he sent over all sides of missiles, and crumped the positions j from every direction. Many a battalion j came in as a fine, healthy, virile body, and left, a shattered remnant.
