| AP PENNAR AND MISKIN WOMEN. Sir,—I wish to reply to Ap Pennar's remarks in last week's "Leader" re soldiers' wives in Miskin. In the first place he says that the war has brought about a regrettable change in the drinking habits of the women. I may tell him that the same women were drinking before the war broke out, so why accuse soldiers' wives? Again he says that when passing the Miskin Schools he saw two women the worse for drink. I suppose if he saw two women coming out of an Aberdare public-house the worse for drink he would conclude that they must needs be from Aberdare. Ap Pennar is right when.he says that nearly every household in Victoria Street has contributed to the colours. I may add that some of them have al- I ready given their lives. How many from the writer's little spot have joined the colours, if any? And how are their women-folk faring? Perhaps they, like the thirsty Scot he mentions, go out for their morning nip and return by way of Miskin to give people the impression that they are from Miskin. Ap Pennar will find people as good and as clean in Victoria Street as out of it. Let him name his own street, and then there will a chance of comparison. With regard to children swearing you will find that everywhere. Theje are a lot of soldiers here at Bedford and out at I the front who read your paper. These men have mothers and Tyives in Vic- toria Street, and they are disgusted with such trash as Ap Pennar's re- marks, which are utterly untrue. We are leaving for active service shortly, and I hope you will insert this letter, not for my sake alone, but also others who have answered their country's call. —Yours, etc., PATRIOTIC.
