PROGRESS OF THE WAR. P7
The news from Serbia on Wednesday was of a grave character. The Bulgarians, with large forces, were undertaking a flanking move round the Babuna Pass, descending from Tetovo, which they have apparently recaptured, in the direction of Gostivai.
This is a new and serious threat to Monastir, and it is reported that prompt help is urgently needed to counter this thrust. The foreign diplomatic body in Serbia has had to alter its plans, and is now making for Scutari instead of Monastir.
WARSHIPS AT SALONIKA.
There is a great concentration of Allied warships in the bay of Salonika, and the landing of troops goes on incessantly. Meanwhile pourparlers are proceeding to Athens. Definite pledges are being required of Greece. The Allies demand absolute security for the Allied troops in Greek Macedonia. The point that arose on M. Skouloudis’ intimation of the possibility of the internment of Serbian troops if they crossed into Greek territory and the attitude of the Greeks towards Allied troops is to be cleared up without ambiguity.
Italy is said to be about to take active steps which will go far to safeguard against any further Balkan betrayal and at the same time defend her interests in the Adriatic, which are being gravely menaced. There is a rumour of Austrian intention to attempt a landing on the Albanian cost.
IN FRANCE AND FLANDERS.
No movements of importance are reported. The German official message says French attempts to retake a trench near Ecurie were defeated.
Sir John French in his report last Tuesday night states that since November 10th the artillery on both sides has been active, especially south of the La Bassee Canal east of Kemmel, and east of Ypes, but no infantry actions have taken place. There has been considerable mining activity.
ACTIVITY IN RUSSIA.
Fighting on the Middle Styr, which has been constantly growing in intensity for days past, is culminating in massed fire from the enemy’s heavy guns, which have recently appeared on the Ralaovka-Czartoryisk front. Having failed to turn the Russian position, the enemy is now striving to break the Russian front at the most likely spot – some flat country, where the nature of the banks and bed of the Styr facilitate a crossing.
They have advanced something like a couple of miles. Russian military critics point out that the fighting is not of a rearguard character, but is a pitched battle to the left of the river.
BRITISH SUBMARINES HUNTED.
It is reliably reported that the Turks now have about 120 very rapid motorboats in the Sea of Marmora for the purpose of running down British submarines. These boats are fitted with quick-firing guns, and it is hoped that they will succeed in eliminating the submarine peril.
AERIAL ATTACKS.
It is reported that bombs were thrown a few days ago at New Lichtervelde. Ten military automobiles were destroyed and some German soldiers were killed and thirty wounded. Four persons were killed and nine injured by bombs dropped on Tuesday by a German aeroplane near Dunkirk.
ITALIANS’ PROGRESS.
The Italians have extended their positions on the mountain slopes near Rovereto, and along the line eastward have repelled numerous attacks, inflicting heavy losses on the Austrians, particularly on the Carso.
In the Monte San Michele zone strong enemy forces made two successive violent attacks. These were stopped by rapid and well directed fire of artillery, and in the end the enemy retired with heavy losses.
“WINSTON” AND LORD FISHER.
In the House of Commons on Monday, Mr. Winston Churchill made a lengthy explanation of his action in the Dardanelles venture and his resignation from the Cabinet. He confined himself almost entirely to the sending of the Naval Brigade to Antwerp, the initiation of the attempt to force the Dardanelles and the episode incidental thereto, which brought about the retirement of Lord Fisher as First Sea Lord.
Mr. Churchill brought to light many new facts in connection with the Dardanelles, and said that he only submitted to the altered plan of campaign which took control out of the hands of the Admiralty with a great deal of reluctance. “I will not have it said that this is a civilian plan, foisted by a political amateur upon reluctant officers and experts.” This step having been taken, his complaint was that the objective was not pursued with the speed and vigour that were essential to success.
He asserted that the First Sea Lord was silent at the momentous meeting of the War Committee at which the Dardanelles expedition was determined upon. “I did not receive from the First Sea Lord the clear guidance I was entitled to expect,” declared Mr. Churchill, and he also asserted that Lord Fisher withheld his support when the success of the venture became obscure.
Mr. Churchill hastened to pay tribute to the part Lord Fisher has played in the war.
Lord Fisher, in the House of Lords on Tuesday, made a very brief but telling reply. Rising from the cross benches, he said : —
I ask leave of your lordships to make a personal statement. Certain deference’s were made to me in a speech delivered yesterday by Mr. Churchill. I have been 61 years in the service of my country, and I leave my record in the hands of my countrymen.
The Prime Minister said yesterday that Mr. Churchill had said one or two things which he had better not have said, and he had necessarily left unsaid some things which will have to be said. I am content to wait. It is unfitting to make personal explanations affecting national interests when my country is in the midst of a great war.

THE THREE BROTHERS (LORD DERBY) Back Page.
[The following has been specially written by Lord Derby’s Private secretary, Captain B. S. Townroe, in order to explain in a homely way how the new recruiting scheme affects us all.]

“Hello, have you seen the King’s Appeal?” said Harold, looking up from the morning paper.
“No,” said Jack; “what is it all about?”
“The King has spent out a special appeal from Buckingham Palace saying that the end of the war is not yet in sight, and he wants more men to join his Army and Navy.”
“Humph,” exclaimed Bob, “that’s all very well for you, Harold. You could go at a pinch, but what about me?” Now I am working on torpedo nets, the firm won’t let me go.”
“Well,” replied Harold, “as a matter of fact I have been thinking of joining for some time. May has been telling me that she thinks I ought to be in khaki like the other boys.”
“I will join you,” said Jack “but it will take me a month or two to settle up my affairs at the office.”
“I would go, if my Boss would let me,” added Bob.
The three brothers that very evening talked the matter over with their mother who was a widow. She finally gave her verdict that she thought two of them ought to go, but she could not spare all three. Jack put in a word: “I wish I could come with you, Harold, I will talk to the governor tomorrow morning and see whether he could let me go in a week or two.”
The following morning the three brothers read in the paper Lord Derby’s Mansion House speech, and spent most of the time at breakfast arguing over the proposed group system. “That will just suit me,” said Jack. “But I am going to wait a week or two to see how it works, and to see to which group I belong.”
Harold went that evening to the recruiting officer and asked him if he could join the Lancashire Fusiliers. “Yes,” said the recruiting officer, “there are plenty of vacancies in the 8th Battalion. You are not a ‘starred’ man, are you?” “No,” said Harold. “I am a draper’s assistant, and I can join up I two day’s time. Before I join I would like to know if I can get into the Life Guards: I have always wanted to join a cavalry regiment.” “No,” said the recruiting officer, “there are very few vacancies in the cavalry, and none at all in the Life Guards. We want all the men we can get in the infantry to shoot Germans.” “Thank you,” said Harold. “I will be round here in two days’ time,”
Accordingly by the week-end Harold had been accepted by the doctor, attested, and had gone to the doctor, attested, and had gone to the depot of the distinguished regiment which he had joined.
The following day Jack received Lord Derby’s letter asking him to enlist and whether the reason he had given hitherto still held good for not joining. He kept thinking about the letter the whole day through, and in the evening went to his master’s office and asked whether he had permission to enlist. “Certainly,” replied Mr. Cavanagh, a local solicitor. “In fact, I have been wondering for some time when you would want to go. I am glad you came and asked me like this, and I will be very glad to pay you half your wages when you have gone.” “Thank you very much,” said Jack. “But if you could stop with me another few weeks,” said Mr. Cavanagh, “it would be a great convenience. You could finish the work on which you are engaged and leave things square here. Have you seen the proposals for joining under the group system?” “No,” said Jack. “This is the Scheme, and a great help to employers it is,” said Mr. Cavanagh. “This group system has been organised expressly for men like yourself – men who are not prepared to serve immediately, but are willing to come up when called on. If you join under the group system you will be medically examined, sworn in as a soldier, registered and put in your group. Let me see, how old are you?” “Twenty-four,” said Jack. “Well, you will be in group 7, and some time in the future you will see a proclamation in Post Offices and on public buildings stating that group 7 will commence to be called up in a few week’s time. Then you will get a notice paper from the recruiting officer telling you exactly when you have to attend, and where you have to go.” “Shall I get any pay?” asked Jack/
“You will get your pay for the day on which you are attested, but you won’t get any further pay until you actually join the colours. But, of course, while you are working with me I shall give you your weekly wage all the time. “But shan’t I be worried by people giving me white feathers?” asked Jack. “No; when you join you will be given a card showing that you belong to group 7, and you will also receive an armlet to put round your arm showing that you are a soldier of the King.” “Thank you, Sir,” said Jack. “I will go off to-day and join under the group system.”
So Jack presented himself to the recruiting officer. He asked to join the Lancashire Fusiliers, as that was the regiment to which his brother had gone.
The recruiting officer wrote on the attestation paper that his was the regiment Jack wished to join, and told him that so far as possible he would go to the regiment which he chose when he was called up later. Jack then asked for the armlet.
. . . . . . . . . . .
Jack went home that night in high glee, and told his mother what a sensible, simple, system this was of joining the Army, giving everybody plenty of time to settle up their affairs.
“It is rather hard on Lord Kitchener, though, isn’t it?” said his mother. “Surely he wants men now. He said he wanted more and more men.” “Yes, but don’t you see, mother,” explained Jack, “if most of the men join in the group system and have been passed by the doctor, Lord Kitchener will know exactly how many men he can call upon in case of nee, so he will be able to rely on a regular supply to keep up the British Army in the field.”
Bob sat very grumpy during this conversation, and finally burst out. “Bad luck on me,” he said. “Harold will be swanking about in uniform. You will have an armlet, and I shall simply be making torpedo nets 10 hours a day, and only have a war badge to show for it.”
His mother tried to soothe him down and said how much she needed him at home. But Bob the following day went off himself to the recruiting officer and asked to join. The recruiting officer looked him up in the register and them said: “I am very sorry, but you are a ‘starred’ man, and we cannot take you. You are doing just as good work, Sonny, at the bench as you would do in the trench.”
This was not very satisfactory to Bob and judge of his delight when a few days later he read that Lord Derby had made arrangements with Mr. Lloyd George and the Ministry of Munitions, and other Government Departments that all “starred” men could join Army Reserve B, provided they agreed to return immediately to their civil occupation.
He went straight off to the recruiting officer and was accepted. He was told that he would be given a khaki armlet to wear just like Jack. But he was further told that he would only be called up for service if, and when, it had been decided that he would be more useful fighting than making torpedo nets, and that for the time being he was to go back and help to win the war by working like steam at the wire works.
Now the mother of the three brothers is going round telling her neighbours how proud she is of her three sons. They are all in His Majesty’s Army, having responded to the King’s call, and all will soon be wearing the King’s mark showing they have been accepted for service.

SIR HENRY JONES ON COMPULSION. Back Page.
At a recruiting meeting at Bangor, Sir Henry Jones made a statement of much interest. “I have just made a tour through Wales, I have visited all classes – quarrymen, miners, ironworkers; I have touched Welsh life in various ways, and I have come to the conclusion that Wales is doing exceeding well,” he declared. Sir Henry added that his beloved country was coming out without a blot on its escutcheon or a stain on its honour. He was also convinced that the people of Wales, taken as a whole, would accept some form of compulsion if our leaders came to the conclusion that voluntaryism had not done quite enough.
There was only a small remnant that it would be difficult to deal with, and he would hold the religious and other teachers responsible for any recalcitrant spirit against the State. People did not realise what a splendid thing the State was, and the indebtedness of the individual to the State. He refuted the accepted belief that compulsion was an enemy of liberty, and pointed out that history showed that compulsion and liberty had grown together, and that the community had forced people to be

ENLISTMENT OF FARM HANDS. P3
In answer to numerous inquiries, the President of the Board of Agriculture announces that certain classes of skilled agricultural workers have been starred in connection with the National Register.
These will in no case be enlisted for immediate service with the colours, even if they offer themselves for that purpose, but they can, if they wish, be attested, passed into Section B, Army Reserve Group, and returned to their civil employment. A man accepted on these conditions will be entitled to wear a khaki armlet.
If any starred man has been inadvertently enlisted for immediate service the employer at once should notify the County War Agricultural Committee, and write to the War Office, who have undertaken to make every effort to return him to civil occupation.
If these men are really indispensable from the national point of view, Lord Selborne strongly advises them not to enlist for immediate service. This also applies to farmers of military age who desire to join. They should exercise the option of being attested and passed into the reserve.free.

‘CHILD LIFE: THE NATION’S GREATEST ASSET.’P?
Owing to the war it is more than ever necessary that the child life of the nation should be safeguarded, for children are the nation’s greatest asset. Not Britain only, but the Empire has paid her heavy toll in lives. From Canada, Australia, New Zealand, India, Britain’s loyal sons have come: many never to return. Whom have we to take their place? Only the children
The Empire rests to-day on childhood’s shoulders, and it is our duty to fit those shoulders, and it is our duty to fit those shoulders for their task. Thousands of children die in this land of ours who could be saved; thousands of children grow up stunted, warped, diseased, who with proper care would grow up healthy and useful.
It behoves us to see that not a single child be lost who can be saved. The safety of the Empire in the years to come depends on the children.
The Charter of Dr. Barnardo’s Homes is – No destitute child ever refused admission 1,577 children were rescued last year. In one fortnight recently 92 orphan and destitute boys and girls were added to this big family, which averages 7,480 children.
1,560 Barnardo Boys are serving in the Forces, and the list is growing daily.

---------------- (maybe) IN PACE. P?
Will ye tell her that I lo’ed her,
That sweet lass ayont the sea?
Wull ye say when ye gang home again
How dear she was tae me?
An’ wen the sun is settin’ far
Abune the lock sae fair,
Wull ye give her ma last message
Sin’ I canna see her mair?

A’ the lasses wull be greetin’,
An’ the lads – how sad they’ll be,
When they hear ma bones are restin’
I’ this land, ayont the sea;
But I’d fain exchange their sorrow
An’ their sad tears, every one,
Juist to know ma lass wull miss me
When ye say that I am gone.

Oh, the sun shines bricht in Scotlan’,
An’ the mune, it lingers there,
An’ mony wull come wooin’ o’
Ma Mary, kind an’ fair;
But if dukes should lay their coronets
At my own darlin’s feet,
I lov tae think she’ll think on me,
An’ turn awa’, an greet.

Sae tell her when ye see her
I died a soldier’s death,
Say I told ye that I lo’ed her
Wi’ me vera latest breath;
An’ tak’ this sprig o haither
(A puir sad gift ‘twull be).
An’ say I wore it on ma hairt
E’er sin’ she ga’ it tae me.

There’s anither lass in Scotlan’,
An’ her face is auld an’ sad,
She’s ma mither, lads – lo’ed her too
With all the strength I had,
An’ when ye see her, tell her this,
She’s heard it all before,
I could na love me love the less
For lovin’ her the mair.

VALENTINE.

VOLUNTARY. TRAINING. CORPS. P4
Now that there are so many starred men in Ammanford, who are thus relieved of the bogey of enlistment, is it too much to expect that some at least of these men will shew their willingness to do their little bit by joining the V. T. C.?
This body has not come up to expectations numerically, and it is difficult to locate the cause. It is said that some of the married men, even of those that have joined, have been persuaded to give it up for fear they may have to stop out a night or two to guard the waterworks or Rhydymaerdy Bridge; at any rate, there are numerous regular absentees from drill.
Probably now that there is some prospect of rifle practice a fillip will be given to the movement. Two rifles have already been presented, and it is anticipated that before long others will be forthcoming, so that the members can indulge in a little friendly rivalry and probably secure a welcome goose in a Christmas prize-shooting competition.riate sermon was delivered by the vicar, the Rev. J. W. Jones, B.A. The following evening (Monday) they had a march out through Pontamman and back by Pentwyn Road , and thoroughly enjoyed the novelty.
On Tuesday night they were at drill, and on Wednesday evening paraded as far as Ammanford Station and back, preparatory to the recruiting meeting at the Drill Hall.
A considerable number of the public assembled under the presidency of Mr. W. N. Jones to listen to addresses by Capt. D. Watts Morgan and Capt. Margrave, on behalf on the Welsh Pioneer Company. The result of the meeting was that five recruits were obtained.

MARRIED MEN’S POSITION P4
In response to inquiries from Lord Nunburnholme, Lord lieutenant of the East Riding, and the Birkenhead Recruiting Committee with regard to Mr. Asquith’s statement on recruiting.
Lord Derby’s on Wednesday sent the following reply : —
“Married men need have no fear but that faith will be kept with them.”
“The Prime Minister’s assurance to them is most definite and binding.”
Lord Derby will to-day explain a number of points of difficulty which have arisen under his scheme. This afternoon he will address a large gathering at Edinburgh, and in the evening he will speak at Glasgow.
The composition of both meetings will be largely of the labour classes.

MORE SHELLS, LESS MEN. P6
A further report of a visit paid by munition workers to the trenches was issued by the Press Bureau on Monday the delegates state that the trenches area triumph of engineering.
They can best be described as a clay hole about 2ft. wide, with the dugouts on the one side that form the men’s sleeping quarter. Efforts were being made to make them as comfortable as possible by putting boards covered with wire netting to give more secure footing.
“We marched through these trenches for some miles until we were within 35 yards of the enemy’s trenches, and at this point it was certain death to anyone who raised his head anything near the parapet.
So deadly was the fire that on more than one occasion the periscopes that our men had fixed on the end of their bayonet to enable them to locate the enemy were shot off by the enemy’s bullets, while were in the act of looking through them.
“From this point it was quite obvious that to attempt to make an advance on the enemy’s position was pure suicide, unless these positions had first been shelled and blasted to atoms, and this can best be done by high explosive shells, and the more thorough the shelling the lighter the casualty list.
It was explained that sometimes a great many shells had to be used before the proper location was got and the desired effect obtained. Hence the desire for an abundant supply of high-explosive shells.
It was apparent to us that before any advance could be made the price has to be paid, and that this price consists of men and munitions, and the greater the proportion of the latter the fewer men will be lost.”
An appeal is made to all workmen to do all that lies in their power to support the men in the trenches to bring the cruel war to an end. The delegates record their appreciation of the stationary hospital, where they were impressed with the economy that is carried out.
The men’s clothes are disinfected and a plentiful supply of good food is provided to enable the soldier to leave fit and well and with complete clean outfit.

LORD DERBY’S SCHEME P4
Within another twelve days the work of canvassing under Lord Derby’s scheme of recruiting will be completed, and what then? Will it be found that the work has been efficiently and effectively done, and that the number of men required has been enlisted?
Generally speaking, it may be taken that the work has been well done, and the voluntary canvassers are deserving of thanks for the hours and labour they have given to help in ensuring the success of the scheme.
But looking dispassionately at the methods which have been adopted in some quarters, one cannot but feel there have been many blunders, and that in one respect at least there will be considerable resentment felt and expressed.
This is in regard to what was, on all hands, believed to be a pledge that no married man, who gave in his name to serve, would be called up before all the available single men had been brought in. It turns out that this has been a misunderstanding, and consequently many married men have been enlisted under false pretences.
There are cases, of course, where it would be unwise to enlist a single man, for instance if he were specially skilled in work relating to munitions, but enough care has certainly not been taken to get hold of the shirkers who are existent in all directions.
What can be said of a case where the five sons of a farmer have registered themselves as cowman, ploughman, &c., and are all starred, while another only son of a farmer, who truthfully said he helped his father on the farm, is left un-starred, and is therefore expected to enlist?
Take other cases where grocers’ assistants and the like have suddenly become colliers in order to escape enlistment. Again, all colliers have been starred, and yet there are thousands of them unemployed for several days a week, owing to shortage of trucks.
What more reasonable than that the Government should close half the collieries, and transfer the married men to the open places, so as to release hundreds of young single men for war service. By what method can one justify the existence in one family of three or four young colliers all starred, while the son of a tradesman or farmer is un-starred?
The whole business is so mixed up that commonsense says the proper way to ensure the number of men from all the districts in adequate proportion would be that there should have been some measure of universal service and balloting. Whereas in some districts the rush of recruits has been so great that it has resulted in hopeless congestion and the threatened breakdown of the recruiting staffs; here, with hundreds of available young men, the number of recruits has been little more than one a day during the past week. The absolute waste of money on cards, and clerical work in connection with them, is one of the minor scandals of the war. We are told that this war has to be won, and the only way is by overwhelming weight of shells, and numbers of men.
Why not, then, get every available person on the making of the former, and get fit for the Front every man who can shoulder a rifle and is physically strong enough to go through the necessary training? The longer these shilly-shallying methods of recruiting are tried, the more of our brave fellows abroad will never again see their homes on Britain’s shore.

THE ROYAL WELSH FUSILIERS P6
The Royal Welsh Fusiliers, the old 23rd, raised in Wales in 1689, have an astonishing record of hard and victorious fighting, beginning with Schellenberg, Blenheim, Ramillies, Oudenarde, Malplaquet, and the sieges of Lille and Douai; passing next to Dettingen and Fontenoy, next to the defence of Minorca, next to Banker’s Hill, next to Albuera – perhaps their most glorious day – and so through Badajoz. Salamanca, and the rest of Wellington’s victories up to Toulouse, and next to the Crimes and the Indian Mutiny.
They are known to some as the “Royal Goats,” a goat having been led before their drums for more than a century.

THE SOUTH WALES BORDERERS.

The South Wales Borderers, the old 24th Foot, raised in Ireland in 1689, were another of the regiments which shared in all the victories and all the glories of Corporal John.
Then came a career of misfortune. They were annihilated by fever at Carthagena in 1741, reduced to a shadow by the defence of Minorca in 1751, and captured at Saratoga in 1776.
In 1809 they joined Wellington in Portugal, were most highly distinguished at Talavera, and fought on with him, reduced at last to only four companies, until Toulouse.
They served in the second Sikh war and were cut to pieces -550 casualties – at Chillianwallah, and were again annihilated in South Africa in 1879.

HOSPITAL SHIP SUNK. P?

The War Office reported on Wednesday a distressing disaster in the English Channel. The hospital ship Anglia struck a mine and sank. Of thirteen officers and 372 other ranks on board, about 300 were saved.
Another vessel, the name of which is not given in the official report, but which, a news agency indicates, was the collier Lusitania, of London, was also sunk by a mine while proceeding to the rescue. Torpedo-boats steamed to the scene and brought some of the rescued to port.
There was a large number of cot cases on board the Anglia. The dead bodies of a number of wounded soldiers, wrapped in the Union Jack, have been landed.
It transpires from a message of condolence from the King that the Anglia was the vessel which conveyed His Majesty across the Channel.

CANNED FRUIT P?
The Ontario Government through the Provincial Department of Agriculture are canning 20,000 gallons of peaches to be forwarded to Britain for distribution among sailors and soldiers.
The peaches are in 1-gallon tins and have on the label “To the Sailors and Soldiers of Freedom” and the statement that they are the gift of Ontario.
This fruit is being put up at the Government’s experimental fruit farm at Vineland from the Government orchards and those of the surrounding district. Fruit is being canned in generous quantities by the women of rural Ontario of Canadian and other soldiers in British hospitals.

DISTRICT NEWS. P3
Private Thos. Remington
A crowed smoker was held at the Castle Hotel, Ammanford, on Friday evening last, to give a send-off to Private Thos. Remington, of the Seaforth Highlanders, who was home on short leave from the Front.
Councillor Bob Thomas presided, and Mr. Evan John Evans was at the piano. Those taking part were : Mr. D. Davies, Mountain Ash House; Mr. Sam Thomas and Mr. A. Thomas, Bettws; Mr. Thos. (Dafen) Davies (reciter); Mr. J. Morris, Llandebie (step-dancer); Mr. Jack Thomas and Mr. T. Thomas, Walter Road; and Mr. Tom Wigley, Bettws.
A collection was made in the room, as the result of which a nice sum of money was handed to Private Remington, who thanked the company for the reception given him, but he was unable to say much owing to the loss of his pal, Private Jerrison, who had been killed.

MESSAGE FROM PAPER P 4
It becomes necessary to call our readers’ attention to the fact that owing to newspapers having been utilised by enemies in this country as codes for the transmission of messages indirectly to Germany and Austria, to prohibit the forwarding of newspapers and journals unless despatched from the offices of the various publications.
We believe a large number of Chronicles have been sent abroad, and though we have received no complaint, we fear they do not now reach their destination.
Friends of people resident in neutral countries should ensure the regular delivery of the newspaper by taking advantage of our offer to send them post free for three months for 2/2 and six months for 4/4/
