The Daily News , on Thursday , published opinions of church leaders on Sir Arthur Lee's appeal , the general feeling appearing to agree with the reply of the Bishop of Hereford who stated " If the work cannot otherwise be done , such assistance is justifiable and praise- worthy . " In view of the fact that Sir Arthur Lee practically makes a direct appeal to ministers to advocate Sunday labour on Food Production from their pulpits , a representative of the Leominster News invited the views of church result .

Without the lines of the Crown Prince Rupprecht a strategic retreat , we have every reason for saying that it is due to the sound tactics of General Gough . " Commenting on the British occupation of the villages of Le Barque and Ligny , the " Matin " says " The German retiring movement con- tinues to be accentuated , and not only the low ground but also heights of undeniable strate- gic importance , such as Hill 141 , east of Serra , and Hill 127 , west of Miraumont , have been evacuated . At the present moment the Ger- mans are established along a semi - circle on a new line of hills west and south - west of Bapaume , where they have had time to or- ganise the fresh positions and doubtless reckon upon offering a firm resistance to the British advance .

General Berthaut , writing in the " Petit Journal " on the German retreat , says " The enemy blew up a certain number of guns of large calibre which he had neither time nor means to take with him to the rear . The re- tirement could not have had for its aim the gaining of a fresh line strongly defended , be- cause the enemy have stopped on a line of only mediocre value It seems , therefore , rather a forced retreat than a deliberate strate- gio operation . " The Rev. Geo . Elliot Lee ( Wesleyan Minis- ter ) said : " I should certainly not advocate Sunday labour on the land in normal times , but to - day when the food question is of Mr. Oseland ( Vaccination Officer ) reported supreme importance I hesitate to condemn the on the births during 1915 and the vaccinations man who utilises any or all of the next seven up to January 31st , 1917.

It was agreed to ask for tenders for one The clear duty of the church , in my opinion , is to leave the matter quarter only , the Chairman remarking that a few to attend the next Board . The close pursuit of the retreating enemy has been steadily maintained throughout the 26th , and our advanced troops were this afternoon engaging the enemy from three sides at a point on the left bank of the Tigris over 30 miles W.N.W. of Kut . During this fight the enemy has abandoned quantities of arms , ammunition , tents , equip ment , and stores of all kinds , and has thrown some of his guns , including four 5.9in . howit zers , into the river . The British gunboat Firefly , which was lost on the retreat from Ctesiphon , has been re- captured , and in addition one Turkish ship has been taken and one destroyed . The total prisoners taken on the 25th amounted to 360 . All reports for to - day have not yet been received , but up to the present our cap- tures are 11 officers and 150 men .

QUESTION OF HOP PICKING . Were it proposed to continue Sunday labour The Chairman said there was one question for any length of time the whole case would which ought to be settled - the matter of the be altered but considering it only involves a surcharge over the hop picking money . When limited period the argument for the economy in London he went to the Local Government of one day's rest in seven is fairly met .

The Chairman said it only meant that in the case of small pox people could be re- vaccinated . THE ROADS . The Chairman said the roads were plough- ing up in several places after the frost . Several members suggested that they might have a larger size of stone . The Surveyor agreed and said the stone was smaller in grade than 3 years ago . The Chairman asked the Press to make a note asking people to drive more out of the tracks . It would be better for the roads . The Surveyor said that in the narrow roads there was not much chance of getting out of the ruts . The horse ran in the tracks and drivers were content . UNTRIMMED HEDGES . Tht Surveyor reported that most of the hedges had been done in most cases , but in one or two cases the hedges had a three years ' growth . The Chairman moved that Mr. Nott , Hart hall , be served with a notice to attend to his hedges . Agreed . The Chairman said he regretted that Mr. Smallman was unable to be present owing to influenza . TENBURY PETTY SESSIONS . Tuesday , before Colonel E. V. V. Wheeler , Mr. C. G. Partridge , Mr. G.

Thomas Palmer ( School Attendance Officer ) said he produced the Master's return showing that this child was not present on January 19th . The child was kept at home alternatively with another to look after a younger child whilst the mother went out to work . Defendant stated she was a widow and had at home to look after the kept one child youngest , 2 years old , while she went out to work . Her eldest son had been taken away . for the Army and she had not had any help from him . He had been gone about a month . She could not take the child out with her . She kept the family by her own efforts . In answer to the Bench Mr. Palmer said the irregularity in the attendance was noticed in November last and defendant had been twice warned . The Chairman said they were loth to fine defendant and the case would be adjourned capture of two transport vessels and two gun- for a month to enable her to send the children boats .
