I KING TINO AT THE i i; GROSS ROADS I READY FOR THE FRAY I DETERMINED STAND OF THE j ALLIES AT A ( HENS Athens, Sunday.I understand (says the "Daily Mail" correspondent), that King Constantine, who is still at Tatoi, has expressed his desire to abandon neu- trality. M. Zaimis (the Premier) and M. I Venizelos (the pro-Ally ex-Premier) are i in perfect agreement. The Allies' Note to the Greek Govern- ment aims at purging Greece absolutely I from Germans and German influence. The ¡ following is the exact text of the Note:— 1.—The two Allied Governments, knowing from a sure source that their enemies procure information in various ways, and notably by the Greek tele- I graphs, demand control of the posts and I telegraphs, including the wireless. 2.-Enemy agents engaged in corrup- tion and espionage must leave Greece at I once and not return till hostilities are over. t 3.—The necessary steps muet be taken against Greek subjects guilty of the acts of corruption an d espionage referred to. I ZAIMIS TO ACCEPT. I M. Zaimis is likely to accept all these I demands. Their working out is not ex- i actly settled yet, but I understand on the • j best authority that the persons referred [ to in the last paragraph, Greek and Ger- i man, will be required to leave the ooun- try, probably within twenty-four hours. It is to be presumed they will leave through Bulgaria by the Fiorina route. Diplomatic representatives are not in- I eluded. ) SCHENK'S BODYGUARD. j Baron Schenk, the famous German secret service agent, disappeared from Athens yesterday, but, unable to escape northwards, he returned secretly to-day to his house, where he is now surrounded by k bodyguard of twenty men fully equipped with hand-grenades, rifles, and other weapons. How far these prepara- tions will develop into a real resistance is an open question, but there is a' full determination among the British and French authorities that no paltering with Germans in Athens shall be shown. I A PURE PATRIOT. Athene, Saturday.—M. Venizelos had a long conference with the permanent bead of the Foreign Office. It is understood that he was placed in possession of all important documents re- ferring to all recent negotiations be- tween Greece and the Powers. The Bri- tish Minister and M. Venizelos also had a conference. M. Venizelos's attitude is one of purest patriotism. He declares that he is utterly and entirely indifferent to power or the Premiership, provided that Greeco fol. lows the glorious path of duty. Despite the presence of the Allied fleet off the Pirseus, Athens retained almost its ordinary demeanour to-night. There were no demonstrations. The mass of the people are unable to probe the complicated political situation and have given themselves up to whatever fate may have. in store for them Events at Salonica are not fully known to the people of Athens. GERMAN LINERS SEIZED. Following on the arrival of the Allied Fleet last night four German Levant Line vessels in the Pirams Harbour, the Tinos, Anatolia, Seriphos, and Boigalos, each approximately of 3,000 tons, were seized by boarding parties. The Fleet has taken up a position off the harbour. Later five more German and Austrian vessels were seized, including the Aus- trian liner Marienbad (8.400 tons), at Eleusis. The officers and men on board were taken prisoners. Late last night the German Minister and two attaches had paid a hurried secret visit to the Marienbad. i SUBMARINE DESTROYED. I Athens, Sunclay.Tlio Patris learns from a good source that Allied war vessels yesterday destroyed a German submarine to the east of Phalere. -Exchange. Athens, Friday.-Britisli and French war vessels to the number of 42 continue to cruise off the Pirams. Some of the vessels which entered the port took pos- sesion of the wireless apparatus at the Greek arsenal.- Reuter. DEMANDS CONCEDED. Athens, Sunday (received Monday).— Government has accepted the Entente's demands in their entirety. Control of the 1postal and telegraphic communications begins to-day, but it is not known what form it will tak-e.-Router.

SWANSEA AND EDUCATION. Opening of New School Buildings. Two new schools—one at Cwmbwrla and the other at Brynmill-were opened at Swansea on Monday morning, but in con- sequence of the war there was no official ceremony. The only real incident, in fact, which marked the opening of the build- ings was that the scholars marched from their old quarters to the new, and lessons proceeded as qsi-ial. In consequence of the marked insufficiency of accommodation, it was found necessary to commence the work of extension, and the new schools, erected on admirable sites, are regarded as amongst the most rfnodern in the country. CWMBWRLA GI.RLS, AND I,NFANTS. At Cwmbwrla the school, which is for girls and infants, was erected at a cost of about A:20,000 by Messrs. J. and F. Weaver, Manselfcon, and the architect was Mr. G. E. T. Lawrence, A.R.I.B.A., London. The building, which is magni- ficently ventilated, and fitted with electric light, has accommodation for 420 girls and 400 infants. In the girls' section there are ten classrooms and nine in the infants. In addition special facilities are afforded for the teaching of cookery, laundry, and general domestic subjects, and there is a model house for housewifery, including a parlour, bedroom, and kitchen. The cloak- rooms aro practically open air. A medical inspection centre has also been established I at the school, and a feature is that there is an assembly hall for each department. An indication of the desire of the authori- ties to curtail as much expenditure as pos- sible is afforded by the fact that all the old furniture is being utilised in both schools. The head mistress of the girls' department is Miss M. Samuel, who was recently appointed from Terrace-road School, and Miss S. Geen is in charge of the infants' section. BRYNMILL INFANTS. I I At Brynmill the infants have been trans- ferred from the old building to a new one in St. Alban's-road, the cost of which is about £ 10,000. -It has provision for 400 children, has nine classrooms, assembly hall, medical inspection centre, and many of the most modern facilities. Miss R. Mitchell is the head mistress.

I DEVIL'S" WOOD eo I A DETERMINED GERMAN ONSLAUGHT SEVERELY PUNISHED I ENEMY HIP HIGH IN SLUSH The Press Association's special corres- pondent at the British Headquarters in the Field (France), writes:— No wonder our men alternatively call it Helville Wood or Devil's Wood, accor- ding to fancy. The Germans had so long declared it impregnable they really be- lieved this to ge the case, when British valour (and never let us forget the share of the South Africans in this Homeric struggle), had cleared the Bodies well out of tiie place, they could not reconcile th-cin,selves to taking the knock." I have already suggested that probably they thought a succe&sful counter-attack upon Delville Wood the most opportune manner of celebrating the appointment of winde-nburg to the Wilhelmstrasse, al- ways presuming, of course, that it was successful. Anyhow, whether or not, the dark, stark wood has been the scene of one of the most determined assaults which the Germans have made since the beginning of the great offensive. They chose their tima well. We may give them credit for that, even although it was possibly more by accident than design. It was towards the close of a most dreary, soaking day (Thursday last), at a nhour when a long day's toil of consolidating" work, which is freyuently undone in one spot as rapidly as it is completed in another— had left our men tired and wet through. The Germans began to throw over gas shells—slowly .a first, but rapidly in- creasing the intensity of fire untli it fully realised the drum metaphor. Our artillery promptly took up the chal- lenge and roared back, pouring high ex- plosive projectiles through the enemy barrage behind which it was suspected something sinister was brewing. The in- fantry attack, I understand, was made by the 118th German division along a front of rather more than a mile and a half. THE ASSAULT DELIVERED. In a sharp bend following the contour of the northern part of Delville Wood, the assault developed. The first wave emerged into view through the dense fumes of the barrage whioh was raised by the enemy, but intensified by our own gunners. The Germans were seen to be falling like leaves in Vallambrosa, but still they came squelching on through the mire. When, however, our men opened upon them with rifle fire at short range, the effect was more than flesh and blood could face. The thinning line wavered, halted, and be,-an to retire, but the second wave was hard upon the heels of the first. As far as our men could see there was a temporary rally, but only temporary, for the Germans were disappearing into the furrowed ground with appalling rapidity, and again the line halted and broke. Four times were these murderous attempts repeated, coming nearer on each occasion. On the fifth attempt the vigour of our rifle fire being naturally somewhat diminished, the Bosches entered our trenches. I use tb word trenches be- cause this is what the line of defence at this spot consisted of. But I am told that the original ciitiings were mushed and piled a nd sludged our of all semb- lance of their former aspect—yawning here in • a great oozy crater, swelling there into a porous mound considerably hjfrber than the level of the parapet. There was a snort, breathless spell of- bayonet-stabbing and bomb-flinging. Then the order was given to our men to withdraw into a support trench just within the fringe of the wood, a position they could maintain whilst our guns played over their heads upon the Germans crouching hip-high in slush-their gains." ENEMY IN MUD-HOLES. I The German wireless makes much of this capture of British trenches. I have already explained that there were no trnchesy left to capture. What the Ger- mans did not succeed in getting were a I number of 'posts harbouring resolute British Tommies and machine-guns, so I that our line remains well beyond the perimeter of Belville Wood. Although it is true to say that at the moment of writing it is intersected by parties of Germans, already a considerable batch of these have been bombed out, and as the remainder are attempting the impossible, to consolidate mud-holes and gutters under our fire, I do not think this success" merits the heroic terms in which the German wireless acclaims it, and the 118th Division of the German Army is a division no, longer. It has been cut to pieces, and when these pieces are collected togfter-fdr some of th<-m are still undergoing the process of elimi- nation-it will amount to a poor muster indeed. The moral pointed by this German counter-attack is once again that victory in this war is going to be attained by the side which has the preponderance in artillery and mastery of the air to ensure employing this superiority to the fullest advantage. Let me not be misunder- stood as trying to minimise the splendid, part the infantry is playing, but they can only follow the guns. To attempt more is to court disaster. Herein liea the explanation for the apparent slowness of our present advence—thorough prepara- tion and a deliberate step by step method of wearing the enemy down by a pressure which he cannot indefinitely continue and the bringing up of fresh troops to withstand.

SWANSEA DOCK MYSTERY. Unknown Woman Found Drowned. Early on Sunday morning the body of an unknown woman was recovered from the North Dock, Swansea. P.S. (3) Dana- har saw the body floating between the lock-gates and the drawbridge. Assisted by P.C. (7) McQueen he got it out and con- veyed it to the mortuary. The body, about 5ft. lin. in length, was clothed in a dark serge jacket and striped cotton blouse, but without a skirt. The I woman was of fair complexion, with red llliir. Amongst the articles of jewellery found on the body was a large gold ring with centrepiece, which was inscribed as follows: "From Uncle Sid to Hilda," and on the other side, For God, King, and Country." There were also two gold rings on the second finger of the left hand.

A MIDNIGHT SCENE. I A respectable young couple sought the Neath Police Court on Monday to un- ravel a matrimonial entanglement with a certain amount of success. The parties were Catherine Ann Brenton, who sum- moned her husband, Frank Brenton, tin- worker, of Wallace-road, for desertion. Mr. Edward Powell appeared for the complainant, and suggested that the case, should be adjourned for a fortnight to prevent exposure, and the probable wreck- ing of two young lives. He pointed out that at 11.30 on Monday night, the hus- band came home from work, and his wife, who had gone to bed, came down to let him in. He alleged that defendant caught hold of his wife to throw her into the street, and attired only in her night-dress, she sought the shelter of her mother's house. Without going into the details which led to the issue of the summons, the Bench adjourned the case for a fortnight, defendant promising to pay 21-a week.

1 THE BLOCKADE I -W l OFFICIAL FlGUBES THAT STRIKINGLY DEMONSTRATE THE GRIP That statistics of exports from New York to Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and Holland are utterly misleading is abun- dantly demonstrated in a memorandum I issued on Friday by the War Trade Statis- tical Department. Taking the official figures of values of goods exported from America during the months January to May, 1915 and 1916, we I find that instead of increases there have, with one exception, been large decreases. The figures are:— 1915. 1916. Exports to:— Dollars. Dollars. Denmark 41,188,000 23,469,000 Holland. 89,732,000 44,002,000 Norway 22,478,000 25,704,000 Sweden 52,216,000 17,495,000 Total. 205,614,000 110,670,000 I 50 PER CENT. DECREASE. The all-round decrease is 50 per cent. What then becomes of the argument that the Scandinavian countries are sending supplies into Germany in increasing quan- tities. It is pointed out that an increase in American exports to neutral countries con- tiguous to Germany need not, in itself, necessarily imply that the imports of those countries, from all sources, have increased, sinct. many commodities which were for- merly obtained from the belligerent coun- tries have now to be procured from America. Thus, an increase in the ex- ports is more than accounted for by the fact that, whereas, until the latter part of 1915, Norway continued to obtain sugar from Germany, she can no longer get it froai that source, since—owing to the operation of the blockade-Germany is so hard pressed for fodder that she is now I forced to use her surplus supplies of sugar for. feeding cattle. In consequence of the inability of Ger- many to continue the export of sugar, Norway has had to look to America for supplies since the early part of 1916, and the value of the United States exports of sugar to Norway during the period Janu- ary to May, 1916, was .21,000,000. In this case, therefore, the increase in the amount of exports, far from demonstrating the in- efficacy of the blockade, is direct testimony to its efficiency. FROM DUTCH COLONIES. The commodities which are mentioned in certain sections of the Pre66 as having been exported in large quantities from Holland to Germany are: Butter, thu-se, eggs, meat, potato flour, fish, tea, coffee, and cocoa. Wtith the exception of the three last-named commodities, all the articles are of Dutch production, and uo import,s of these commodities into Hut land are allowed unless there are special circumstances. As regard Dutch imports of neat from England.' it is shown that all supplies for the Commission for the Relief of Belgium are consigned to Holland for iistriDation, and that, with the exception of one Ion, the whole of the 3,038 tons of meat izii- ported into Holland from Ebgnud during the first seven months of the present year were destined for the relief of Belgium and Northern France As regards butter and lard, it is true that large supplies continue to be sent from England to Holland. These exports have all been allowed, however,, for one or two purposes, viz., either they are going to Holland for the relief of Bel- gium, or they are to be utilised in the manufacture of margarine and butter mixtures for England. In this the fol- lowing figures from the Dutch official re- turns showing the exports of margarine from Holland are quoted:— To Germany. To England. Tons. Tons. Jan.-July 1916 1,510 83,562 Jan.-July 1914 1.116 37.686 Increase 394 45,876 FREE FROM BRITISH CONTROL. It may occasion surprise that, while sup- plies of Dutch butter have been diverted from England to Germany, the same pro- cess has not been followed in the case of margarine. The reason is this: The but- ter is manufactured in Holland from materials produced within the country. The magarine, on the other hand, is manu- factured almost entirely from imported raw materials. It follows that, whilst it is in the power of the British Government to impose con- ditions regarding the importation of for- eign materials, no such power comes into play in connection with butter. The consequence of these Dutch native products, such as butter, meat, eggs. and potato flour, being free from British con- trol, is that the producers sell them in the his best market. j Although these Dutch produced goods do not come within the scope of the blockade certain measures of a somewhat different character have been taken, with a view to increasing the supplies to England and diminishing those to Germany, and these measures have alreafely effected a decided improvement in the position. In regard to tea, coffee, and cocoa, which are imported from overseas, special difficulties have been experienced as they consist largely of goods produced in Dutch colonies. A aatis?utory arrangement has, ? however, recently been brought about, and if the Dutch figures for the early months of this year are separated from those for the later months, the improve- ment which has already been effected by this arrangement is clearly manifested. These figures show that of the 2,007 tons of tea exported from Holland to Germany during January to July, 1,927 tons went forward in the first three months of the year and only 80 tons in the succeeding four months; that during January and February the average monthly export of coffee to Germany amounted to 17,328 tons, as against a monthly average of 3,253 tons from March to July, and that the whole of the cocoa exports took place in the first four months of the year, since when no exports whatever have been made to Ger- many.

NEARING THE END. a- Enemy's Retreat in East Africa Cut Off. PRESS BUREAU, Sunday, 8 p.m. The Secret;. < the War Office makes the following announcement:— Telegraphing on September 2nd, Lieu- tenant-General Smut3 crtates that the pur- suit of the enemy main forces in the Ul ugura Mountains is being pressed ac- tively, despite n "nd quite unusual rainfall,'which has washed away bridges and broken up the road3. The intention of the enemy to offer a prolonged resistance in this favourable district with a view to gaining timo for the organisation of his eventual retreat further south has already been frustrated. West of the mountains our mounted forces are moving towards Mahalaka and Kissaki. Many small enemy parties have been captured. A 4.Jin. naval gun with 1,000 rounds of ammunition has been found damaged by dynamite. A strong detachment of Major-Gomeral Van Deventer's force is m-oving south from Kilossa, and Brigadier-General Northey's columns from the direction of Iringa and Lupembe. We are moving eastwards towards Mfihenge. On the coast a column from Bagamojo is approacing Dar-es-Salaam in co-opera- tion with vessels of the Royal Navy.

I RUMANIA'S PROGRESS BRASSO CAPTURED AND NEW MAYOR, INSTALLED I RUMANIAN OFFICIAL. Bucharest, Sunday.—The following com- munique was issued at seven o'clock this morning:— On the northern and north-western fronts, after somewhat lively fighting, we occupied the locality of Borszok and the heights west of that town. We captured four officers and 150 men, and entirely occupy the inhabited region of Sekeli, in the Haromszek. On the southern front the enemy at- tacked along the whole Dobrudjh fron- tier, south of Bazargie, but was repulsed. On the rest of the front fighting con- tinues. The enemy bombarded Islanz and Calafat. Three hostile hydroplanes dropped bombs on Collstanza. Several children and eiviliansf were wounded. Bucharest, Thursday (received Satur- day).—An official report states:— The advance of our troops continues with success in all directions. We have occupied Brasso, where a Rti- manian Mayor and police authorities have been installed. The railway station at Orsova is under the fire of our artillery. Our losses are slight. Up to the present we have captured 15 officers and 1.800 men. In the station at Ghimos we captured a hundred wagons, whilst at Brzeen we cap- tured a convoy of flour. On the Southern front Austrian ships threw some projectiles on Cioroju. The enemy's infantry and cavalry were reported to have crossed the frontier at a point near Salvia, but they were immedi- ately repulsed. I A FEEBLE RESISTANCE. Geneva, Sunday.—According to reports received in Zurich to-day, the Rumanian army continues advancing along the whole line into Hungary, and meeting only a feeble resistance. The Rumanian losses are insignificant. The Rumanians captured large booty at Brasso. There is every evidence that von Hinden- burg, whose late army is now under the nominal command of Prince Leopold of I Bavaria, has completely changed the mili- tary formation in Galicia since the entry of Rumania into the war. I learn from Lugano that the Austrians have taken every spare man and gun from the Il?liall front to meet the Rumanian danger. The Italians are already feeling the resistance somewhat diminished, and are attacking successfully in the direction of Rovereto, which is now under artillery fire. Daily Express correspondent. I GERMAN OFFICIAL.

In the region of Gyergyo the Rumanians reconnoitred our positions. Our artillery drove back the enemy reconnoitring de- tachments. The position is otherwise un- changed.—Wireless Press. I AUSTRIA'S ADMISSION. I Only Sufficient Troops to Delay Advance. Amsterdam, Sunday.—A Budapest tele- gram ESays:-In the Upper Chamber yes- terday, Count Aladar Szechenig deplored the atrocious treachery of Rumania, and regretted the absence of precautionary measures in the frontier districts. Count Tisza, answered that it was inop- portune to discuss the matter at the moment. In view of the Russian offensive it was impossible to repulse the Rumanian attack. Between the stopping of the Rus- sian offensive and the Rumanian surprise attack there was not sufficient time to send a sufficient number of troops to Transylvania. They had only sufficient troops at their disposal to delay the ad- vance of the Rumanians. The latter had only succeeded in reaching a compara- tively small distance from the frontier. There would be a changl when their counter measures were in full operation. He hoped these measures would make their effect felt.-Peuter. MINISTER AS HOSTAGE. Amsterdam, Monday.—According to a I Budapest telegram to the Frankfurter I Zeitung," the Bulgarian Government has decided to detain M. Derussi, Rumanian Minister at Sofia, and his staff, until M. Radew, Bulgarian Minister at Bucharest, has returned.-PTe.g Assomation War Special.

I TRAINS COLLIDE. I One Person Killed and Several Injured. One man was killed and a number of people were injured in a collision between two passenger trains outside Warminster station, on the Great Western Railway, on Saturday night. An up train, which left Salisbury at 9.30, dashed into a stationary train which had been shunted to the up line to allow the down mail to proceed. The stationary train was about to proceed to the down line when the Salisbury train ran into it. The front carriages of both trains were telescoped. That of the stationary train was lifted bodily on to the tender by the force of the impact, and it was in this coach that the passengers suffered most seriously. To add to the confusion, escap- ing gas from the stationary train caused an explosion, and the wreckage of the front coach was set on fire. A number of soldiers worked splendidly in extinguishing the fire and extricating the injured passengers. One man died soon after being taken from the wreckage, and two women were removed in a serious condition; but many of the passengers, who escaped with nothing worse than cuts j and bruises, were able to proceed to their I homes. The driver of one train was severely in- jured' about the liead, and on Sunday was still unconscious in hospital. The driver of the other train and both firemen wore only elightly injured.

THE BISHOP'S PETROL. I The Bishop of Worcester, in his monthly letter to his clergy, states that his normal expenditure of petrol is sixty gallons a month, but he has been allowed only ten, gallons, whereas private persons with no public duty have been allowed as much and more. The result is that he has been obliged to cancel his distant official engagements, and unless the authorities can be made aware that a bishop. who is an officer of the State, with recognised duties, should be sympathetically considered," he will have to c ,tail his ceneral work. j.

I YOUNG MEN I PROPOSED COMBMC OUT All UN-BADCJKG. I WELSH TRIBUNALS' VIEWS On Saturday, Mr. W. N. Jones, Amman* ford, chairman of the Carmarthenshire Tribunals, attended at the War Office as, a deputation from those tribunals in refer- ence to a resolution that all young men employed in local collieries and munition factories should be opmbed out and an- badged and a scheme instituted by which tribunals should send married men, par- ticularly those over 35, into collieries and munition factories. Mr. Jones, who was introduced by Mr. Llewelyn Williams, M.P., saw General Geddes, and laid the suggestion before him. It is understood the War Office aftw- wards expressed their hearty sympathy and agreement with the attitude taken up by the tribunals of Carmarthenshire. Any- thing that could be done they would gladly do. The deputation then went to the Minis- try of Munitions and laid the suggestions before Mr. Montague's representative, and here Mr. Llewelyn Williams, M.P., mentioned events in Llanelly as illustrat- ing the general condition of things in Car- marthenshire. Mr. Montague's represent- ative promised to make representations in the proper quarter, and said that an in- quiry would be made into the oonditioofl of munition workers in Carmarthenshire. He added that a report would be required on the matter from all those concerned, and in due course a reply would be sent to the representation which had been made to him.

N.U.R. THREAT. South Wales Strike if Advance Withheld. The following resolution war, passed at a meeting under the auspices of the South Wales and Monmouthshire Executive Council of the National Union of Railway- men, held on Sunday at the Ruskin Insti- tute, Cardiff: H That this conference, representing South Wales and Monmouthshire railway men of all grades, having fully considered that our just demand for 10s. per week increase in our wages, which has been sub- mitted by our executive council, has not been acceded to, we decide that we will accept nothing less as a satisfactory settle- ment and that the claim must be made retrospective from July 3. We hereby declare that our executive council shall give notice to the railway companies and the Government that un- less the demand is conceded by September 16 they shall declare a national strike, and if that course is not adopted by our execu- tive council, or the demand for 10s. is not conceded in full, we decide that we shall strike on our own responsibility, and we adjourn this conference to September 17 to make the necessary arrangements for withholding our labour immediately."
