T LORD GlANT AWE'S DEATH. APPRECIATIONS OF THE LATE PEER. Title Dies With Him. The news of the death of Lord Glan- tawe. at his residence, Th? Grange, Wast Cross, near Swansea, came as a great shock to the majority of people in Swansea, where the aged peer was well-1 known and highly esteemed. His romantic j career, his brilliant business achievement, and his unfailing kindness and courtesy endeared him to all. Beyond aitending the House of Lords and various bank meetings, Lord Glan- tawe's life was fairly quiet during the last 18 months. He had been laid up since last December. He was then taken very ill and had to remain in bed for three mont-lis. Then he was able to get. up for an hour or two, to take lunch, and go hack to bed again. For the hist two weeks j lie Nk-as ekiiiiined to his room, till the end came. Title Dies With Him. His Lordship had two daughters, Mm. Horace Daniell and the Hon. Miss Elaine Jenkins, hut no sons; consequently, we are informed, tlie title dies with Lord Glan- tawe. Mr. Horace C. Daniell, son-in-law of Lord Glantawe. was good enough to give a Cambria Daily Leader representative a few impressions of the deceased gentle- man. Lord Glantawp. h? wirl. wat" known to everybody in Swansea, having been connect-vl all his life with the collieries and other industries of the town and dis- trict. In his public life, he was always a very courteous, straight-forward man, fearless in the expression of his opinion. In private life, he was one of the ttost hospitable men that you could come across. In fact, I have never seen any nian-and I hav come across a good many jM-ople in all parts of the world—who had a kinder and more affectionate nature. I know of no man who was more beloved by all who intimately knew him. He was always very devoted to Swan- pea; always had the interest. of Swansea at heart, and he did all he could to fur- ther them in every possible way." APPRECIATION? Lord Glnntawe- was one of the most charming of men. Courtesy was his Ipad- ing trait; pressmen who approached him (properly wore always certain of kindly ■treatment at his hands. He was re- garded as the greatest, authority in the "country upon tinplate matters, and if one was desirous of getting an intricate •point explained. Lord Clantawe was ,alway" ready to do wlrat he could. At the time of the fiscal controversy he was in the greatest demand an exponent of ■principles, and he rendered incalculable service to the cause. Ho never mastered the platform. As 4hose who knew him were aware, be ,thought out clearly all the great poli- tical questions of the dAy, hut in public I •spi-cdi, bo did not excel. He will be re- •membered most, for the kindliness of "heart which animated all his doings; for 'tho?'?

 | AMER!? ALARM db. l III TORPEDOING OF THE LEELANAW CAUSES I r EXCITEHEiiT. I THfc PRESIDENTS ATTITUDE New York. Monday.—The torpedoing of the Leelanaw (reported in the, ''Cambria Daily Leader on Monday), has caused intense excitement throughout the country. A panic was narrowly averted on the Stock Exchange, prices dropping heavily. Administration officials refuse to com- ment on the incident,, but the belief seems to prevail in Washington that it will not lead to war. The fact that all the crew were saved is believed to lift the case out of the. Lusitania class and make it similar to the. sinking of the William 1'. Frye. In that case America, signified her willing- ness to accept a money payment. as sufo- cient satisfaction. Gerrrian-Anierican Trick. I | German-Americans are showing great, i alarm at the spirit of the Note to Ger- many, and are attempting to raise the issue that. America retuf-es to submit to arbitration differences concerning inter- pretations of international law. | They are now receiving Mr. Hearst's full support. His New York American to-day directly charges the United States Government with declining mediation. I although Germany lii.- not yet made any .suggestion of the kind. and nobody knows wit.tt President Wilson's attitude towards such h -suggestion would b° if il was made. it i- apparent, that the German-Ameri- cans intend to try, by concerted pressure, to compel Anierica to arbitrate, while Germany is given a ftee hand to continue [murdering Americans at pea until the arbitration award is finally given. Never since the war began have the German-\merleans been so perturbed, and never have they used language so nearly trai trous. Newspapers which are not German-American are beginning to warn them of the existence of laws dealing with efforts to foment hatred and sedition against the Government.

SERBIA'S GREATEST ENEMY I Unconquered Ally Prepared I to Re-enter Battle. Rome, Monday.—Tho Messaggero publishes dispatches from the Serbian headquarters at Nish, which, after re- counting the prodigies of valour accom-. plishcil by the Serbians, go on to say: When fhe. Austrian ultimatum was received Serbia lacked everything, boots, blankets, ammunition, and arms, but she has. nevertheless, found a way to defeat the enemy. Latterly Serbia has used nothing but ammunition and guns taken fi-oni tiie eneniy. She was attacked by r. deadlier foe, namely typhoid, and it is calculated that 30 per cent, of the people fell victims to the epidemic, and that one- third of the Serbian physicians them- selves died. The Allies came forward i nobly and vanquished the terrible j scourge. They have also sent munitions, stores, uniforms, etc., so that the Serbian Army is now on a level with any army 1 "fighting in the war. The frontier ? guarded by French aeroplanes, and Bel- "grade is defended by six batteries of Serbian artillery, two British batteries; two French, and two Russian. The Sorb- ian Army now possesses the highest oSieiency from every point of view. It I consists of 230,000 bayonets." The dispatches end by saying that for the moment it is necessary to have ?patience and hope. Serbia wiJI soon de- 'cide to take tbe oft'c?ive both in her own interf?t and in that of the AILics.— lieuter.

PORTE'S PLAUSIBLE ARGUMENTS Athens. Sunday, — The Portp. has officially replied to Greece's protest against the, persecution of Greeks in Turkey. The iwlv explains that fhe expulsion All masse of thousands of Greefep from their homes was oiirlv a. mesw-nire of a military order, and cannot be considered as perse- cution of the Greek elomeniT. The order for the evacuation of Aivali and Vurki has not been carried out, and the. Porte, as an evidence of good faith. has authorised the return of the Greek Consul to Vurla. The Embros and other papers which represent official opinion have to-day changed their tone, and seem to admit the plausibility oi the Part&s arguments. JJeutea»

IN A SANDSTORM. If r IN A SANDSTORM.. I I SPIRITED BRITISH ATTACK RESULTS IN SUBSTANTIAL GAIN. CALUPQLI OPERATIONS One of the Press Association's special correspondents at the Dardanelles, in a telegra 111 dated the loth inst., says: The fighting of July 13tl) and 14tli TfIoo •suited in a net. gain of about 400 yards along almost the entire right of the line. The objective, to this assault, was the Turkish defence on the line just south of 'Kritliia which, down to flie 13th, con- 6it<>d of two distinct fystpma. the first running iveft of the Kareves Dere to t.he •-ea, and the second running over the nSpur bel .veen the Kereves Dere and the J)onne, Dere through a point about. 700 yards souih-wesf of the shattered and tactically unimportant 1 illage of Krifhta. The idea was to complete ther driving 'back of the enemy to his second hne of •trenches along the whole front. The brigade of the —=—Division, carried cnt the operation^, the Royal JS'aval .Di,-ip'm ol?o taking p<ut. A hcavT h?mhurdm?tit preceded tb? in- tantry assault on each day, and partieu- lar mention must be made of splendid work done by thr artillery. The Navy coutributed. a battleship taking part, in the bombardment. The Turkish gunnery was somewhat •spa-smodu' fitful outbursts of furious ■firing being followed by long intervals of desultory shooting. The enemy is using high explosives, but there is a growing in- feriority. suggesting great, difficulty ill ■hiaintaining supplies. Four hundred and seventy prisoners were cap! nved in the operations of the 13th and 14fh. which were carried out under trying climatic conditions, intense ,1wat being accentuated by the sandstorms ■raised by the l,evante' which swept across the Peninsula. -J

I CERMANY PROPOSES — II Belgium to be Retained at the End of the War. Rotterdam, Monday.—In an interesting letter, which will appear in the TVieuwe Rotterdamsche Courant to-morrow, Dr. Rohrbach. the well-known German pub- h.,jt. w',itcs:-  I look u??i thf a?nGxntir.r. of B??ium Dot as a. strcr?th?nin? ot Gk-rniany. On the. contrary, violent annexation of un- friendly people would produce a weaken- ing of our power. Notwithstanding this, wp shall be obliged to keep Belgium, he- cause England will not offer us compensa- tions that, in t he first place, would be equivalent to Belgium; and. ir. the second place, that; vrquld give proof that England has not merely postponed, but ha.s finally abandoned its plan for our deduction as a great T'ower. and has recoguieed Ger- many's rights to development. I am firmlx convinced that in the peace negotiations -it will b»» shown that England does not wish a bona-fide understanding with Germany: and agraiivst ;111 England that has already decided on a second Anglo-German war we must, fv military reasons, have in our possession the Bel- gran wast. This, I am sorry to say, is not. a politil question, hut purely a qtwetion of marine gtxatesxi

AT THE GATES OF GORiZIA. -0. ITALIAN ADVANCE I COURAGEOUS GENERAL'S DEATH IN ACTION. ARMED WITH A WHIP .Rome, Mondayv~The chief new feature in General Cadorna's latest bulletin is the l repulse of an Austrian attack upon Som- doffiia, which lies on the frontier south of Tort Malborghetto and the railway from Vontehba to Tarvis. Some idea of the excellent Italian ad- vance is found in the statement pub- lished that the tprritory in the Isonso region already occupied amounts to 3,400 square kilometres. The, Austrian resist- ance continues very tenacious, but the latest reports are that the Italian attacks are progressing methodically. Quiet con- fidence is felt in complete victory of the present effort, which has lasted eight days. The only rear-on for the delay is the for- midable character of the defences which the Austrians have erected on a specially I favourable natural frontier. Massed Around Gorizia. I GMtcvn. Monday.-The Laibach ('t)1'T!j spondent of the Tribune de Ceneve" reports that after a sanguinary struggle the Italians yesterday repulsed the Aus- trians beyond the Gorizia bridge, and took possession of th ree kilometres of the first line fortifications. Important Italian forces ai-e massed around 1hel town. The Austrian* are offering a stub- born resistance, and the losses on both sides have been heavy.—F/Xclumge. I ,x(- I iitige, In the Thickest Fray. I CTdine, Monday.—The death in the I battle of Isonzo of Antonio Cantore, the fi rst general lost by Italy in the present war, is causing deep regret, especially in the army, which highly appreciated the merits of the deceased, who won his rank as a general by heroism shown in Libya, when he charged at the head of his regi- ment. General Cantore at the beginning of this war conducted the operations which led to the occupation of Ala and other villages on the way to Rovereto. General Cantore directed his men like Chinese Gordon, with only a riding whip. and refused to retire even from <he most exposed position., saying he would be ashamed to run less risk than his soldiers. The municipality of Ala to-day named the principal square aftei- him, and un- veiled a. marble tablet: on the wall pierced by the bullets which passed around his person. On the Isonzo front he carried himself just the same, wearing his spectacles, which he habitually did even in action, and with his riding whip in his hand he was seen in the thickest of the battle, re- penting a phrase which had become a re- frain among bis soldiers, Oh. my boys," hen he fell mortally wounded.
