I RUSSIA'S SUCCESS. I At last we have something definite to go upon with regard to the action of Russia, and it all goes to show iitat the Tear's troops have gained the upper hand in all directions. The ehort statement of what has been done stands as follows:— Carpathians (advance on Warsaw from the C-OuW-Austriang routed with {Treat loss. Vistula Tributaries (advance from the west by way of the Bzura and Rawka). —Germans driven back over the river. Upper Vistula (advance over the Nida from the south-west).-Gormans also driven back over this river. But what is of importance is the success- sion of confessions of defeat that come officially from Vienna. Yesterday the statement was that the Austrian Army declined battle, and to-day's news is that the Austrians admit officially that they had to withdraw their troops along the whole Eastern front." All this is excellent news from otfr point of view, and shows that the tide of the war is running well in favour of the Allies. It also justifies the action of those who have (as the Cambria Daily Leader" has done) consistently placed re- liance upon Russian strategy, even when the outlook seemed to be rather un- promising. The only thing one might wish is thait in the West of Europe the Allies mignt be in a position to follow up the Russian successes with a grand attack all along the line. However, the best to be dona just now is to maintain the stone- walling tactics, coupled with a policy of steady advance where and when possible. This is being done, and we must all be patient until Lord Kitchener is ready to give the word. Then it will be another case of Up Guards, and at them! The whole situation throws a deep tinge of irony into the news with regard to Ger- many. The Kaiser still sends out tele- grams meant to be encouraging The latest message (sent to General von Maekenaon) says, Do not let gotil1 the enemy crumbles in ruins." A German officer etates that his men are falling by thousands on the Y ser, whilst at other places they fall by dozens. An interesting document was published in Home yesterday ty the" Giornale d'ltalia." It was the text of the Con- vention signed early in December between Germany and Turkey. Germany agreed to supply Turkey during the whole war with war materials, ammunition, money to pay her troops, engineers, and artillery- men. In caee the war is successful Ger- many has agreed to pay Turkey one-fifth of the indemnity. If not, Germany is to stipulate for a clause in the Treaty of Peace guaranteeing the integrity of the .Ottoman Empire. Both Germany and Turkey bound themselves not to agree to a separate peace. This little arrangement leaves out of sight the fact that if Ger- many does not win, other people will dictate the terms of peace, and it is not likely that they will stipulate a clause guaranteeing the integrity of the Ottoman Empire. H That has been done once or I twice toe often, and the hindrances to another arrangement are swept out of the way now. One of our contemporaries was rather busy a few weeks ago, running in double harness with a certain London paper in making attacks on us. At the time, we pointed out the danger of the mutual admiration class of two. To-day, the Daily Express" makes another attack on Lord Haldane, but drags in the question now under consideration between the British and French Governments on the one hand, and the Government of the United States of America on the other hand. The introduction of bitterness into a discussion (that is reprehensible in any circumstances) upon such a delicate sub- ject cannot be condemned too severely. If the paper named wants to rush us into war with America, it has begun in the right way. In addition to its being used as a fertiliser there is certain to be a great demand for seaweed ash for the produc- tion of iodine. Before the discovery of potash salts in the great mineral deposits at Strassfurt, there were over twenty makers of iodine in Glasgow. That num- ber has since been greatly reduced, but I there are still several manufacturers in the Falkirk and Grangemouth districts. Supplies of the ash of seaweed, which is locally known as Kelp," comes mainly from tne Orkney Islands, the Hebrides, and from the West Coast of Ireland. The winter and spring storms throw up great banks of seaweed on the shores of the Western and Northern Islands. The weed is spread out and dried, and afterwards burned in large heaps. The ash is then coUected and shipped to the factories. Preparations are being made for securing large supplies of the aah next season. The shortage in the supply of pitwood, lowing to the stoppage of supplies from the Baltic, has tstimulated the trade in home grown timber, and although there are no extensive supplies to draw upon in Scotland, a good many cargoes of High- land-grown timber have been brought to the Clyde. Inquiries have been made by ooalowners and shipowners with a view to securing an adequate supply of pit- wood from Newfoundland, the only diffi- culty in the way being the expense of bridging the timtog tQ

ROUT OF THE AUSTRIANS. O DEJECTED ARMY PUT TO FLIGHT. ANOTHER SMASHING BLOW BY THE TSAR'S TROOPS. PROGRESS IN BELCIUM. The Austrian Army, following closely 1 upon her signal reverse at the hands of Servia has sustained a further crushing blow from Russian arms. Latest official news from Petrograd is a record of suc- cess all along the line. The great German effort to advance on Warsaw has been definitely checked, and in Western Galicia the Russian troops are progresing victoriously. South-west of Dukla the Russians 'have captured strong positions held by the Austrians and routed the enomy in panic-stricken flight. Many minor successes have also been achieved. On the western side the ding-dong battle continues no movement of any im- portance having taken place. Futile Bombardments. In the Nieuport district the Allies have gained a little ground to the north of Lombartzyde. St. Georges, which they captured the other day, has been put into a state of defence, and has been violently bombarded by the Germans, apparently without result. The one obvious fact is that in their efforts to advance towards the coast the enemy have been completely I foiled. Further south the Germans have been not only completely checkmated, but have had to retire at various points in face of the Allies. The retirements, it is true, have been for very short distances, and cannot be regarded as evidence of advance movements of any significance. As if in reply to the raid on Cuxhaven by British seaplanes, a German squadron of aeroplanes made an attack on Dunkirk yesterday. Four machines flew over the town and dropped bombs, while a fifth hovered in the distance. DEPRESSED AUSTRIANS. There are sanguine people who believe that this is the last time that the Austrian army will be able to rebound, as it has already used up all the material for recuperation which it possessed. It is, however, always unsafe to take the most optimistic view of war (writes a Daily Telegraph" correspondent). Slav prisoners who have been sent back to Kieff from the Dukla neighbourhood say that before they debouched from the Carpathians they were tokl by their com- manding officers that their advance was to be decisive and final, and bring the war to an end. Its results, they were assured, would be the capture of War- saw and Lvoff (Lemberg), and when these towns were once in their hands peace would be made. When they were compelled once more to turn their faces to the Carpathians and Cracow a spirit of depression took hold of the army, and this no doubt accounts in no small de- gree for the Jurg' number of surrenders which are now every day reported from Galicia. Another Calais." On the Bzura and the Rawka the situa- tion is still far from clear. It is evidently too early to speak of a German retreat from these rivers, although it is obvious that the impact of the enemy's attack has become much weaker. The opinion in military circles seems to be that the pro- fuse employment of llin. and other large sized shells on the Rawka is intended to cloak a transverse movement of German troops which will have its sequel in a furious onslaught at some other point on the line. In other words, the enemy is believed to be still following the tactics which failed to take him to Calais. In addition to their heavy artillery the Ger- mans seem already to have transferred the bulk of their infantry from the BztiTa to the Rawka. If credence is to be given to a state- ment which is printed in the Sviet," and which purports to come from well- informed military quarters, the process of attrition is wasting away the enemy very rapidly on this front. According to this communication the Germans and Austrians have together lost 600.000 men in their engagements with the Russian* since November 9th. Austria's Last Men. Reports from Vienna through an Ital- ian source indicate that tho Clerical and Imperialist parties, which displayed frenzied enthusiasm over the taking of Belgrade and the penetration of the Austro-Hungarian army into Serbia, are now clamouring for a now expedition against Serbia. It is understood, how- j ever. that the General Staff utterly re- fuses to entertain such an idea, in view: of the extremely critical situation in Poland. Austria-Hungary, it is stated, has already Dearly reached the limit of her capacity for raising new troops. All men up to 42 years of age liable to ser- vice with the regulary army have already been called up, whilst others, up to 36 years of age, who had previously been declared unfit for service have been sub- jected to an extremely rigorous re-exami- nation, aod unless absolutely incapaci- tated have been forced to join the army. Special volunteer corps of older men have been raised to maintain public order in the place of gendarmes and police who ha.ve been sent to the froot. Many volunteers, enrolled with the sole object of guarding bridges and railways, have been ordered to Galicia to fight against the Russians. TRIBUTE TO OUR AIRMEN. Tho French newspapers expressed great admiration of the seaplane raid upon Cuxhaven. The Ternpn stater The recent action before Cuxhaven is of the highest interest, because it gives to each contesting unit a well-defined role. The attack was made with a minimum'of loss. No ship was damaged, there was only one victim among tho aviators, and the material damaged was limited to four hydro-aeroplanes. One must admire the cleanness and in- genuity of conception m an operation absolutely new, with machines of which the first trials we. ad ÍII the pre- Out W&r.? j

By PRIVATE SAMUEL KNIGHT. (SPECIAL TO THE LEADER."); We have pleasure in giving below the second instalment of Private Knight's interesting diary recording his ex- periences with the Welsh Regiment at the Front. Yesterday's story took the reader to the arrival of the Welsh Regiment at Guise, where the soldiers had to i bivouac in a field. Private Knight and three comrades made a tent of their waterproof sheets. GENERAL'S SERIOUS FACE. Something is Going to Happen To-day." Thursday, August 27th.—Something is going to happen to-day. General Langdon, who wears a perpetual smile, with a very serious face is giving orders to our C.O. Our regiment moves off alone. We advanced a mile then turned to the right. Our object is clear now. We are doing a flank guard to the main body. We have not gone far. We are attacked. My company, which is in the rear to-day, is told oif tQ line the roadway while the regiment moves on. This position is not very good, eo we ad- vance to the nearest village and lie down in the village square. We command the approach ef, three roads, and wait. A terrible storm is raging. The rain is pouring down. and I am lying in a I gutter, and the water rushes over my body. The heavy rain interrupts the German advance. Thus I I attribute our safety to the storm. Order, comes to fall in" and we march off, I' joining the regiment at a village a few miles off. We leave this village, but be- fore reaching its outskirts we are held up by a gesticulating Frenchman who runs into our hands. From his babble we can make out only the word Uhlan." With that up dashes a German patrol. They see us and realise their danger. They turn about to retreat. We volley, and every bullet finds its billet. The Germ-in Army is minus a patrol. We rimh forward to search their bodies for any useful documents. I find in the officer's saddle pouch some much needed articles of clothing, viz. an underpants and vest of the finest silk, bearing the initials of its, owner, and also the well-known mark of a German house. This officers horse, a beautiful steed, is slightly wounded and I is commandeered. We move off, and after hours of weary marching arrive at LJ, Fere. (See map.) We halt here. But I our hope for rest is as elusive as it has been for the last few days, for we move off immediately. Weary, we march for four long hours. At last we are allotted to a welcomed and spacious barn. It is in complete darkness. A meal is dished out, but we cannot settle down to it as we have to grope for the food. I turn out with the hope of seeking the farmer. I find him, but alone, for his family has left. I endeavour with my elementaory knowledge of French, to seek a lantern. He evidently understands me for, to our complete amazement the barn is flooded with electric light. We now at- tempt to appease our hunger, but the latter increases with every mouthful. We lie down to sleep on the crude but wel- comed bed—straw. Friday, August 28th.-4 a.m. sees 116 sitting on the roadside waiting to move off. A cheery officer remarks: "Boys! How do you feel after yesterday's march f" The reply, though hard to say, comes from many a weary comrade, "Pretty fit, sir." The officer further remarks: Do you feel like another 30 mile to-day ? The reply is, "We'll stick it, sir." But what agonising thoughts overwhelm me Pis it possible J I s it possible for us to -march another 30 miles P Our feet say No," but our hearts cry "On," and on we move. But what a march! Few words are spoken: legs move mechanically: du-st and perspiration begrime out haggard and bearded faces. With an effort now and again, someone commences a chorus. We join in lustily, relieving our weariness somewhat. Night falls, and we are still trudging along. We have been marching since the dawn. We reach our goal-a cornfield-at 11 p.m. No billets to-night. The corn stands in sit eaves. We make a crude bed upon the I groun d, and lie worn and spent. ENEMY OUTMARCHED. I Saturday, August 29th.—Dawn: A welcome order comes down the line. We have ar-iraarehed the enemy, and are to bo given a day's rest. This day gives us the opportunity to assume a civilised aspect. I shave, wash- the first since the 22nd—and have time to cook and eat a < meaL We are mustered together. A communica- tion from. the French President is read to us. It states that owing to our invalu- able help, France owes us a debt which it can never repay. Sunday, August 30th-September 5th. —Marching, marching, marching. Pass j through delightful country. Picturesque J I villages resound to the tramp of our feet. Not an inhabitant do we see. All have fled. Children's toys left in the middle of play here and there strew the I gardons of their homes. Marching, marching, marching. We overtake a long line of refugoos-a pitiable sight. Oxen draw heavy-laden waggons. On one of these sits an old woman nursing a babe about a month old. On the same waggon are packs, boxes and a pig. Behind this J same waggon trudges the young niother- presumably tho daughter of the aged dame—with three children clinging to her skirt. milar eights meet us as we pass along. All in the same direction. They look very hungry. We are in the same plight, but we hand them a few tins of bully beef. They try to keep up with us. We leave them beliind. March- ing, marching, marching. I have for- gotten the day; too weary to make further notes. Sunday, September 6th-September 12th. —Dawn; leave Chaumes (See map) not in a southerly, But in a north-easterly direction. We are advancing. Can hear tho booming of guns in tho distance. Do not encounter the enemy. Everywhere evidence is of a hurried departure in his encamliinents. Wine bottles and cigars stress- many a bivouac. We pass deserted transports, motor 'buses (bearing well- known routes in Berlin) and dead horses. Theao eights are becoming more frequent as we advance. They are the results of engagements of our cavalry, who are pressing on at the heel of the retreating German line. MAIN BRIDGE DESTROYED. Sunday, September 13th.-6.30 p.m. enter Ig. (See map.) The Ger- mans have blown up the main bridge. Find a small one higher up the river. Evidence here of attempts to blow up this also. We cross this bridge and mount the hill overlooking the town. Rest. Five miles to our right the French artillery is booming away. We can see the spitting namea. Night has fallen. We are taken to billets in the town. Rations follow. but the hour is too late for distribution. They decide to give us what we consider to be needed most. The tobacco is doled out. Biscuits can remain till the morn- ing. Monday, September 14th.—5 a.m. Move off. After proceeding about two miles we are greeted by the enemy's artillery fire. Shrapnel shells burst over our heads. Roofs of neigh- bouring "barns rattle like kettle drums. I hea? a peal of laughter from my com- rades near me. for, as the result of an unconscious action. I had raised the collar of my coal. I laugh myself. We are now in the thick of it. Tne effect of the shrapnel is beginning to tell. as my comrades fall out to the roadside to be bandaged. We continue to ad- vanco up a gradient. Upon the horizon we open out in extended order. k valley opens out before us. (See illustration). Beyond it. is a hill whose sides arc clothed with a dense wood. This hill and wood are held by the enemy. B Company under Captain Haggard, is ordered to ad- vance to drive out the enemy from this position. We have orders to lie down. Our comradew advance is greeted by the enemy with a heavy rifle fire. Their firing is hi?h. The bullets missing thei- intended billets, pizz," U pizz/' pizz about us in the rear. The Welsh return with vigour. I hear the rattle of the enemy's machine guns. The Weleh make a dash for the hill, but on its summit are mot with heavy tfhelkfire. They re- tire a little.

WEAK VINEGAR. I At Snwaiwea, on Thursday, Geo. White- ] head (48), a fried fish vendor, and Mrs. Sarah Jane Whitehead were summoned for selling vinegar deficient in acetic acid. hlr- lbehl of the Town Clerk's Office ?fat?d that the vinegar was sold from a cask which was labelled pure unadulter- ated and unferjaemted vinegar. The vinegar was 25 per cent deficient in acetic acid. Inspector Lambert ertated that tlM vinegar was not bought at the frietad fish shop, but at the defendant's other shop, a grocery store- # The defence was that the yinegar was sold as it was received in the shop. The Chairman remarked that they thought thft defendant should have had rinmll:" !'In., L .I' ..«.f' ad-ulterated. Mrs. Whitehead was fined I 20s. inclusive, but the case against Mr. Whitehead was withdrawn.

The 8.35 express from Swansea to, London had jusat passed through, when a platelayer, named Chaa. Roderick, noticed that a piece of rail about eight inches long, had been broken on the up line. A goods train was travelling towards the broken rail, bet Roderick was able TO signal to the man in the box, who had just had time to stop the train. A man who was standing near at the time said that when the express pa-seed 'i .s:poi- there was a loud rattle.
