A HARFAT OPTIMIST. Special Interview with Sapper Phillips The many local fnends of Sapper rr. F. Phillips, R. E., (ex-postman), a well-known native of Haver- fordwest, but of late years resident at Clarbeston Road, last week had the pleasure of welcoming him back from the front on brief furlough till Sunday the ISth inst. Sapper Phillips, strong and sturdy, was looking the picture of virile manhood and afforded standing testimony to the fact that life in the trenches, even if arduous is at least healthy. He was in the thick of it for eleven months, the nature of his work- digging trenches, making pontoons and putting up barbed-wire- necessarily meaning that lie and his comrades were, as he tersely puts it the first in and the last ont." Yet he was cheerful, hale and hearty, and, as we just said, looking well and fit in every sense. Sapper Phillips left Borden (Hants), on August 11th, Inl, landing iu Rouen, where he saw a bridge much like that at Newport (Mon). It was then a case of sticking to duty for many long weeks, but he got a pleasant surprise when he was granted seven day's leave, the best news he had had for eleven ill otitlis." He returned to England on Monday of.tast week, and lost no time in getting to Pembroke- shire, to the natural delight of his good wife and many friends. He was, be tells, for some time at La Baaeee, in unpleasantly close proximity to the Germans; and be humorously describes how his section once had to act as infantry, when he promptly scooped a tin of bully-beef cleai, sacrificing the meat for the sake of the tin to supplement his bayonet for trench work. His usual work was, of course more dangerous than that of infantry, except perhaps as to charges; and be is profoundly thank ftil he has hitherto escaped all injury. Last December he was hugely pleased to meet another Harfat lad, named Morgans (formerly of Dew Street), who has unluckily been wounded twice since. The natives of his much-loved town have indeed, as he proudly says, done their full share gallantly played their part in this ever memorable episode in our nation's history. Sapper Phillips tells how once, of a section of 40, only three came back and ruefully admits, the Germans shoot well. The regular French soldiers he considers able and effective and says of their cavalry that they are as smart a mob as ever donned the helmet." He was at Ypres in December, and spoke admiringly of what was then its pride, the magnificent Cloth Hall, now a heap of ruins; while he knows the place where O'Leary won his Y.C., "as well as he knows the Bridge oquare. It was an undiluted pleasure to hear him when in Haverfordwest "figuting the battles over again with a veteran whom he met at the Bridge End Hotel, and to hear both describe how they bad to carry sticks now, "feeling lost without a gun." Being in civilian clothing Phillips was quite expect- ing to be accosted by some forward female and presented with a white feather. Mrs Phillips, enter- ing into the humour of the thing, advised her husband to wear it in his hat if one were proffered, saying that as everybody knew him, the joke would be a rich one Sapper Phillips has absolute confidence in British j generalship, saying, with characteristically sound. commonsense, that even when it seems nothing is doing, taking trenches or a small village may be really moat important work. They once had 18 hours' steady bayonet work, taking and re-taking positions, but not a word of grumbiiug could be heard. He is full of honest praise, too, for the English officer, and paid a special tribute to his own lieutenant, a young subaltern who happens to be a son of Sir Francis Wingate. Things are, he thinks, going on much better at the front now, and there can be no complaint as to food when bacon break- fasts every other day are the rule. No drink is now, however, served to the troops, and only cider and poor (small) beer can be occasionally had in the villages. While he originally expected the fighting would be over by Easter, he is now inclined to believe the end will bi near in October. If not, he says, one must add six months, for another winter campaign would inevitably mean marking time. Anyhow he thinks a pleasant surprise is in store for next month, and has made up his mind to be back for Christmas. He does not think the Germans' store of ammunition can possibly hold out at the present rate, no matter how long they bad been preparing for war. Sapper Phillips, like many another brave man doing his bit," is a strong-hearted fatalist and con- vincingly argues, in ruggedly picturesque phrase- ology, that -No man is shot till the bullet with his name and number comes along While putting up barbed-wire, it has more than once happened that a man working literally shoulder to shoulder with him has been shot down, and that another called up to replace the dead man will in turn fall a few minutes later. Yet, as be stoutly says the life has its com- pensations in the the thought of duty done for King and Country; and he returned to the firing line full of cueerful faith in final victory-ilrmly convinced he is destined to return shortly with the conquering heroes.

Harfat Boy Promoted on the Battle Field. Sergt. Tom Thomas, a fine, strapping fellow, is another of the big band of Harfat lads who have been doing their bit for King and country. Tom is well- known in the town and is the third son of Mr Jas. Thomas, joiner, St. Thomas Green. In his younger days be was one of the best athletes taking part in the Bank Holiday foot-races, and his prowess as a runner extended to Glamorganshire, and at Pontypridd he twice ran into the final in the 300 yards race, the stake in which was the substantial sum of XIOO. He is a married man, his wife being a daughter of the late Mr Geo. Jones, butcher, of Dew Street. At one time Sergt. Thomas, who is a butcher by trade, worked for Mr Edward White, and in August last he was one of the first to respond to his country's call and enlisted in the Royal Field Artillery at Barry. He was almost immediately promoted to the position of bombardier, and was then sent to Aldershot to undergo a course of physical instruction. From Aldershot he returned with a first-class certificate which entitled him to act as instructor, and he was also made a corporal. In April he went to France and saw service in all the engagements right up to the battle of Givenchy, where he received an injury to his ankle by the recoil of the gun he was in charge of. His battery had been sustaining a heavy bombardment but the enemy failed to locate the British gun and Thomas bad just discharged a round when the heavy piece recoiled and struck his leg giving the ankle a nasty recoiled and sti-tick his le is removal to the base. twist which necessitated bis removal to the base. So impressed was the officer in charge with the work of our townsman that be was promoted to the rank of sergeant on the field. When he arrived at the base be was more pleased than he could tell to find amongst the sisters a Harfat lady in the person of Miss Rind, a grand- daughter of the late Mr Henry Mathias, of Hill Street, in this town. Miss Rind was most kind to our hero, and could not do enough for him. Sergt. Thomas had many narrow escapes and he related an incident where a member of his battery bad one day been peeping over the edge of the trench and had just turned round when a bullet struck the bottom of his cap, and being deflected in its course turned upwards and passed through the crown of the cap afterwards taking a piece of a comrade's ear clean off. The chap who until then remarked Sergt. Thomas, bad frequently to be cautioned about exposing himself, needed no further warning." Sergt. Thomas returns to Preston in a day or two, and although he can only go along at a limp with the aid of a stick he looks fit and well and is ready to go back to the fighting line when called upon.

I Bethesda Church Action. We have received a lengthv communication from Mr W. F. Thomas in replv 'to Mr H. E. JeLikiiis letter in our last issue. We are sorr-v that pressure on our space prevents the publication of the letter in ext-enso, and particularly that part which refers to Mr Warren's connectiot1 with the matter as auditor. | Mr Thomas feels that he has sound ground for complaint, inasmuch as Mr Warren did not even consult him, and he fails to see how an accurate and impartial report could he made without reference to the papers which be (Mr Thomas), as treasurer, had in his possession at the time. We quote verbatim the last paragraph in Mr Thomas's letter, which is as follows "I hereby issue another challenge, and it is That the Bethesda, Deacons immediately call a. Church meeting and allow me to attend and again read the balance sheets relating to the notorious" seven items, all of which I again repeat have been accounted for to Bethesda Church."

I Brutal Assault on Police. I SOLDIERS SENTENCED AT I HAVERFORDWEST. Two privates of the i 5th Welsh, John Thomas II Morris and Abe! OIVen were charged before Messrs. W. Johu (in the chair), H. Rule Owen and W. T. Davies at Haverfordwest, on Saturday, with being drunk and disorderly and assaulting P.S. Morgan and Special Constable Parry while in the execution of their duty. Prisoners admitted the drunkenness, but denied the other offences. D.C.C. James asked the Bench, if they were satis- fied with the evidence that the prisoners did commit the alleged assault, to deal with them severely. No doubt the prisoners would teli the magistrates that they bad come out to serve the country. So had Special Constable Parry, whose eye he asked them to look at. They conlu not afford to have men like Special Constable Parry assaulted by two black guards like the prisoners, who came into the town in a drunken state. ( P.S. Morgan mid that at H ?0 the previous even- ing be was on Castie Square. Prisoners came down High Street leading a white terrier dog by a string, and went over towards Salutation Square. He spoke to tbem, aski eg where they ??'e going, and one ofihe prisoners replied, We don't care a where we go." Being a bit suspicioua of them, be sent Special Constable Potter, who was in plain clothes, to see where they went to. Potter want off, and witness I and Special Constable Parry went over as far as the Salutation Square. Later Potter returned from the direction of Cartlett and reported that the prisoners had threatened him. He stated that they threw off their coats and were going to thrash him. With that the prisoners came up and one of them said to witness We might as well be in prison as here." Both threw off their coats and put themselves in a fighting attitude. Morris struck witness on the right cheek. He closed with him, threw him dowy, bandcuffedbim.andtockedhimup. Owen strnck Special Constable Parry a violent blow on the left eye. They bad some trouble with the prisoners before they got them to the police station. Morris bad 28 Gd on him, and 0?'pn, Is ?1. Morris; Did you have mucq trouble with us>— Yes. I Morris: We were not so bad as all that. He added that they bad only been in the neighbourhood a week. They got soaking wet in camp and came out and bad a drop of beer. s Special Constable parry corroborated the Sergeant'- evidence. He added that Qwen, without any provo. cation at all, struck him a deliberate blow iu "the eve- Owen; I admit I was drunk, and I don't remem ber anything afterwards. I am very sorry. I have never raised my hand to any man before. Both men said it was the first time they had been in Haverfordwest, and they bad not been in a police court before. They were married men with families. The Chairman said the bench found both prisoners guilty of a very brutal assault, and they would have to go prison for U days with bard labour. Morris asked the bench to make it a fine, for the sake of their wives and families, but the justices declined to alter their decision.

Sad Death of Lieut. Willinott. PAINFUL rENBY DISCOVERY. A shocking discovery was made at Tenby on Thurs- day night, the body of Lieut. J. Willmott being found hanging in the attic of his house. Lieutenant Willmott had been connected with the Pembroke Yeomanry for many years. He came from Car&- boniers to be Staff ^ergeant-Maior of the Haverford- west squadron, and then uceeaed ^0 the position of Regimental §ergeq,nt-Major at Tenby Headquarters. Afterwards he was appointed Lieut. and Quarter- master of the regiment, and he was on service from the mobilisation in August until the spring of this year, when be was obliged to retire owing to a serious breakdown in health. He had since lived in Tenby, where the news at his death caused great regr-et. He had been out walking earlier in the evening. Liertt. Willmott was a good rifle shot and whilst in India was winner of the Viceroy's prise. He has two sons servip?l in tLe Prm- servipg in the atmy, one being in France. At Tenby on Monday Mr H. J. E. Price held the inquest. Mrs Thomas, wife of Mr T. Thomas, Warren Street, Tenby, who assisted Mrs Willmott to search for her husband, stated that she found him banging from ,e manhole on the attic lauding. He had stood on a chair and bad pushed it on one side. P-S. Wheeler produced the following note, written by deceased, which was found in his coat pocket :— After all these years, and now not fit for any- thing, when all are wanted," Deceased bad been discharged from the Army, surfermg from neurasthenia, and it appeared that this bad preyed on his mind, especially as he saw troops leaving the town for service. Dr. Snowling stated that death was due to asphyxiation by banging. The jury returned a verdict of "Suicide during temporary insanity." The Coroner expressed his sympathy with the family of deceased.

I BURTON. I SOLDIERS' FAMILIES CAUSE OVERCROWDING. The billeting of soldiers' families in the parish and district of Burton, while proving a veritable windfall to many people, is not altogether an unmixed blessing, and unless steps are promptly taken to regulate the conditions under which peopia are how living very serious epidemics may result. Alreaav ? case of scarlet ?ver has t?a reported b?t the ¡ soldier whose family are evolved has been prom?y isolated and it is ?P? that the disease will be re- stricted to the P?entaHected. although with a family of live children in a comparatively small bouse it is difficult to effectivly carry out the necessary precautionary measures. The school has been closed by order of the medical authorities for a period of six weeks but this measure has been ren dered expedient chiefly through the prevalence of measles fortunately of a mild type, the frst casfe being that of a soldier's child. The bilietmg acomodation in the parish is iusufficient and ilumerons cases of over-prowding are reported. In ope aman bouse with two rooms upstairs, and a kuchen aDa parlour oa the ground jioor seven persona are b,eing wccoodateq, and there are other instances wbere overcrowding ia ever worse than this particular calle. There seemii no doubt that stricter supervision ia necessary by the authorities if the normaJ health of the locality is to be mam- tained.

GIRL TELEGRAPH MESSENGERS. The inevitable introduction of females into public service has come about this week at jIilfon1 Haven. The Post Office staff, especially outdoor has been considerably depletect during the war, owing to the number of men leaving for active service. Several of the telegraph messengers have had to be put on postmen's duty and others cannot be obtained o\ing to the better wages obtained by boys on the docks, especially at the present time when labour is getting more scarce every week. The full complement of messengers for the staff is 1(5 but just now only (j boys are available. In response to a notice issued by the postermaster Mr Mynett. several girls applied as messengers in that week and were taken on and already they look the part and perform the duties satisfactorily. Furthermore we hear that young ladies have offered their services to fill the vacancies, and thus help to keep the postal service complete. Out of ten postmen there are only two established men left on dnty, the remainder being all auxiliaries. With the patriotism of the young women we shall be well served in this district. PROMINENT LOCAL BELGIAN GENTLE- I MAN'S MARRIAGE.

After the ceremony the wedding party adjourned to the Castle Hotel for the wedding breakfast and the happy couple subsequently left for Birmingham for the honeymoon. Mons de Grave is manager for Mr John Bauwens, steam trawler owner, of Ostend now at Miiford Haven and isone of the best known of the Belgian fraternity. During the time of the arrival of the refugees be rendered most valuible assistance to his fellow countrymen and to the local Committee, and at present acts as interpreter, his services to the police authorities in the matter of registration and also in the Police Court being readily giveu and much appreciated.

The receiving depot was North Road Baptist Church, and on Saturday evening a number of ladies attended to receive and arrange the gifts. The number received was about i,i,,)o with cash for purchase of more amounting to nearly t3, so that for the second week in uccessiou something like 2,uOO eggs will be sent from the town and district. The eggs are packed every Monday aud dispatched to Ilarrod's, London, who have thrown their rooms open as a huge national receiving centre. On Sunday morning at orth Road Chapel the annual flower service was I held in conjunction with the egg service and gifts of flowers with appropriate texts were brought to the rostrum by the children. The pastor, Rev. Ernest V. Tidman, A.T.S. preached nn appropriate sermon from the words "The iiowers appear on the earth." After the service flowers were sent to sick members of the congregation and friends and a selection of bloom were also sent to Cottesmore. On Sunday evening there was again a very large congregation. During the service the solo Abide with m" was feelingly rendered by Miss Owen, A.L.C.M., Swansea, a talented blind lady who accompanied herself on the organ. We are asked to thank on behalf of the committee the inhabitants of the district for their contribution of eggs, all classes and creeds have given liberally and it is hoped that the gifts may continue as long as possible. Next week the eggs will be received at the Central Hall (for Rehoboth Church Hakin). WADBROOK'S CINEMA. I The management of the popular Market Square cincma han: a splendidly varied show this week.

I Aged Sergt.-flffajor's Tragic !i Death. BODY FO\RNB UNDER TEE CLIFFS. On Sunday afternoon a tragic discovery was made by some soldiers who were taking an afternoon walk along the beach between Hubbarston and South Hook forts at a point near Little Wick.

TERRITORIAL IN TROUBLE. At the Milford Haven poiice court on Monday morning, before Messrs U. G. Jonefi and L. J. Meyler, John George, a sapper in the Glamorgan (territorial) Royal Engineers, was brought UD in custody and charged with being drunk and dis- orderly and with assaulting P.C. Mills in the execution of bis duty. Defendant in reply to the Bench stated that if he struck the constable it was not intentionally, another man struck him and it may have been that in striking back at him he hit the constable. P.C. Mills said that at i) p.m. on Saturday lie saw prisoner coming out of the Lord Kitchener Hotel in Charles Street in company with another soldier. When they came on the pavement defendant struck the other man and they came on to the street and commenced to fight. Witness went up to them and advised them to go away, but defendant told him to clear out of the way struck him a deliberate blow on the chcet and further attempted to strike him. Wiüess C10FA with him and got surrounded by a number otsoldiers and was prevented from lowing bis whistle for assistance.

Miiford Haven's 9th Welsh Contingent. ENTHUSIASTIC SEND-OFF. 31ilford Haven folk always rise to an occasion and many stirring scenes have been witnessed on the departure of soldier sons for the scene of action, and the send-off given on Wednesday morning to the twenty-five lads wbo represent the town in the Pth Battalion Welsh Regiment will rank as one of the most memorable. Most of these young fellows shared in a similar scene in October last when neariy 100 left the town to join various units in Kitchener's Army and now on the completion of their training they bad come home to say farewell to their relatives and friends prior to the Battalion's departure on active service on Saturday. Some of them however, have joined since. The send-off was witnessed by a few of their fellows who are attached to the 11th Welsh at Aldershot and who may soon be given a similar send-off. In the unavoidable absence of Mr L. J. Meyler, chairman of the Urban District Council, the deputy chairman Mr W. Causey Whittow took prompt measures to give the boys an official farewell and with the cotin. fareweil and witb the council arranged the proceed- ings the men with the exception of C'uarter-Master- Sergeant J. Caisley, (who bad to leave by an earlier train) assembled at Hamilton House, just before ten and iniide the grounds were photographed on the lawn, presented by the Urban District Council, with a substantial packet of tobacco and cigarettes whilst other friends sent presents. At the request of Mr Whittow, Col. W. R. Roberts. J.P., addressed them. He said that he did not think he could do better than give them a little advice on one or two points. About ■j weeks ago he was in the South of England and he saw there some strapping young fellows who bad been to the front and had lost their sight. That was because in each case the men were over inquisitive and looked over the top of the trench to see what could be seen and in a moment a German sniper shot their eyes out or injured them beyond recovery. That was a very foolish act and he hoped not one of them would even think of doing it. Another point on which be advised them strongly was that they should place their pocket book, with which they each would be provided, in the left breast pocket. He was assured that many a man's life had been saved by taking that simple precaution. They would all have to do their duty and obey orders, but there was no reason whatever why they should run any needless risk. They had been training for the last v months and had been warned over and over again to seek cover when it was available and when not availao'e to lie fiat on the ground. He hoped they would not forget that. Continuing the Colonel said I think I can say on behalf of the town I wish-you God Speed. During your absence we shall not forget you, you may depend upon that.. If you return safely as we fervently nope you will be allowed to do, you will receive a welcome worthy of young men who have so nobly responded to the call of duty. God be with you all. Private Stevens I shall look to you to send the name, number and address of every man. Mr Whittow then'preseuted the articles described above, which come out of a fund to be raised to send comforts to all Milford men at the front. The men then filed out of tbe grounds. Their names are Quarter-Master-Sergeant J. Caisley, Lance-Corporal •I. Walter Jones, Privates Leonard Mills, A. J. Ilills, S. George, W. Morris, R. H. Davies, W. Owens, Essex James, Clifford Mathias, George Brice, H. Marchant, Tom Barrett, Albert Barrett, brotbers, Private H. Stevens, Alfred Hancock, S. E. Phillips, Howard Cleeveley, J. H. Davies, Leonard Richards, Charles Evans, William Evans, brothers, Robert Pettit, Matt Kingston, R. Flynn. In Hamilton Terrace a large crowd had assembled and the Baud of the o 4th Welsh from Fort Hubber- ston played selections. A procession was formed with the baud, followed by the members of the Urban District Council, I Clergy and Ministers and the departing young soldiers with their relatives. All along the route through Charles Street and Victoria Road flags and streamers floated gaily and right on to the Station the streets were lined with people. The scene at the Station was a touching one and a lump was raised in many a throat at seeing the farewell tears of sisters, fathers and mothers, whilst a feature of this side of the picture was the number of Belgian women shedding tears. The train moved out of the Station amidst a salvo of cheers from "the boys" and the cracking of deton- ators whilst tbe band feelingly played" Land of My Fathers" a fitting climax to the send-off. As stated we may expect similar functions now that the armies are moving. In these ceremonies, the lads who have already gone are not forgotten. Three weeks ago a contingent of Milford boys embarked with tbe Mediterranean Expeditionary force and have now arrived at Alexandra. Their names are Harry Day, W. Phillips, George Griffiths. Stuart Garrett, "acl,- Morgan, Beynon Batten, Alex Mynett aud Norman Phillips.

About six of the patients came into the cinema on Saturday afternoon, with Mr G. J. Griffiths. Last evening (Tuesday) a great shooting match was held at the hospital amongst the men. The match was arranged by Mr J. G. Griffiths, Y.A.D., who fixed up a first class shooting range. All the men had great hopes of winning the prize, which was a wristlet watch given by Sister O'Connell. The rifle was kindly lent by the Town Guard, by kind permission of the commandant, Mr H. J. E. Price. Keen interest was taken and the prize, was won by Private Forr, of the Shropshire Regt., who scored 42 out of a possible j0. On Thursday the soldiers will be the "nests of Mr and Mrs U. H.

Jthe ONLY WAY TO STOP FOOD j FERMENTATION. NEUTRALISE ACIDITY BY TAKING A LITTLE MAGNESIA. It's the gas generated by fermenting food that distends your stomach and causes you to have a flushed face after eating, with headaches, heartburn, flatulence, etc., and the reason why drugs, patent medicines, and artificial digestants do not give you relief is that they have little or no effect upon the acidity which physicians have proved to be the root cause of practically all forms of stomach trouble. An absol at-e v pure antacid or neutralisisg agent must be employed to neutralise this harmful acid, and the preparation invariably used in hospitals and pre- scribed by physicians and specialists is bisurated magnesia. This you can obtain from Pugh Davies, 2.5, High Street; J. L. Jenkins. Bridge Street; F. D. Phillips 20, Market Street; or anv other good chemist; in either powder or tablet form, and in the majority of cases half-a-spoonfal of the powder or two tablets taken with a little water after meals will be found quite sufficient to instantly neutralise excessive acidity of the stomaeh, and thus prevent all possibility of the food fermenting. 293
