A DELAY. No Definite Accept- ance by Men. RAILWAY OFFER Secret Over Point at i Issue. LONDON, Thursday. Interviewed by a representative of the Exchange Telegraph Co. with reference to the official statement made by him last night on behalf of the executive commit- tee to the effect that they were awaiting the clarification of one point of the Gov- ernment's, Mr. Cooke, president of the Associated Society of Loco. Engineers and Firemen, said: No definite acceptance has been so far arrived at." Mr. Cooke added that he was not in a position to divulge the nature of the point at i«6ue, and which has brought about a temporary delay in the ratifica- tion of the agreement.—Exchange. HOPES OF SETTLEMENT. LONDON, Thursday. The Executive Committee of the Associ- ated sat again this morning, when a fur- ther discussion on the single point in the agreement which is delaying its endorse- ment took place. The Press Association understands that negotiations are proceeding between the Board of Trades and the Associated Society's Executive regarding the point at issue, which is an important matter affecting a very large body of railway workers. It is hoped that during tie day a satisfactory reply will be received, which will be followed by the full ratification of the agreement. THE NEW SCALE.

r UPPER SILESIA. I Poles Galling Men to I Colours. Serious Position. COPENHAGEN, Thursday. Reports from Berlin state that the situa- tion in Upper Silesia is very serious. The Poles are calling to the Colours all men between 20 and 40. In several towns they have assumed power, and are occu- pying the country, and despite the fact that the German troops are being rein- forced they are unable to resist the Poles. Great bloodshed is reported on both sides.—Exchange. I WOMEN AND CHILDREN KILLED, From the Press Association's Special Correspondent.) BERLIN, Aug. 20 (rec. Thursday). It is stated in authoritative circles that the Polish Mission iu Berlin has informed the Foreign Ministry that it is ready tc discuss affairs in Upper Silesia, and that the conferences will be resumed this even- ing in the presence of General Dupont and other representatives of the Allied mili- tary missions in Berlin. The German State Commissioner at Kattowitz announces that the rising there can in the main now be considered as sup- pressed thanks to the behaviour of the troops. The clearing of the frontier regions, he adds, is likely to last a fev. days longer, as there are still numerous insurgent nests. In spite of this statement, however, it is generally believed in Berlin that the situation in Lpper Silesia has been con- siderably aggravated by the fact that the bands fighting against the troops have re- ceived, and are still receiving, strong re- inforcements from across the frontier. A further report speaks of the bombard- ment yesterday of Bogus-Chuetz, near Kattovata. in which a number of women and children were killed and wounded. An armoured motor car finally cleared the place of the last of the insurgents. This morning a similar bombardment in which an armoured train was used is reported from Schoppinitis, which is stated to be in the hands of the insur- gents, although surrounded by the Gov- ernment troops.

DOWNTRODDEN." -0 Demands of Swansea Property Owners. The Swansea Property OwnerV Associa- tion, it seems, has been in existence more or less for 20 yNHF tpllch of that period in A eomatOoe"-sta(H?"mrt/it revwed about six months ago, and has now 350 members. Meetings are held on the first Wednesday of each month in Thomas's Cafe, Kigh- street. » The objects of the revived Association, in the words of a promoter, are to curb public expenditure and to tight for the rights of down-trodden landlords." They have been much concerned over the question of unfair assessments, and will watch very closely the forthcoming re-assessment of the borough. But the great crusade of the Association lies in their demand for direct rating irrespective of assessments. They claim that every house occupier should pay his own rates. They point out that the rates are for occupation, that the payment of rates would make better citizens, taking more interest than citizens do now in the affairs of the town. The Association aims to work amicably with the Corporation officials. Landlords are allowed IH per cent. for collection of rates on houses up to 18, and 13 up to .£13. They are now in correspondence with the Town Clerk on the matter of the proposed new Corporation Bill, and are expecting a good deal from a General Eating Bill to be introduced in Parliament. Among forthcoming events they antici- pate a visit and address in October from Mr. Watkin Williams, of Cardifl. on The Housing Problem."

I" GO TO GAOL FIRST." Food Officer and Market Butcher's Books. A Reynoldsfcone butcher, named John Arnold (12), a retailer of meat at the' Swansea Market, was summoned at Swan- sea on Thursday for not keeping records of his dealings in meat open for the in- spection of the Executive Officer. Mar- garet Arnold was summoned for aiding and abetting. Mr. Holland Booth pro- secuted, and Capt. Harold Williams de- fended. I WOULD GO TO GAOL FIRST. I Mr. Victor Evans said he called at de. fendant's stall at the Swansea. Market on June Ilth. Nirs. Arnold was .there, and he asked her for information regarding stock. Mr. Cummings, who was with witness,, saw a hook on the counter and picked it up, remarking, Is this your counter book?" Mrs. Arnold snatched the book away, saying, "You must not see that." Witness pressed for the book but Ars. Arnold refused to let him see it. and said she would go to gaol first. Witness said he did not see John Arnold on that occasion, but on July 2ti, when he requested to see the account book again. Mrs. Arnold snatched up the book from the counter, and put it in a bag. She said, You shall not see out books. There is nothing in this book con- cerning meat.11 Mr. Cummings said that before the book was snatched away he saw en entry concerning some mutton chops. Defending, Capt. Harold Williams said the book picked up by Cummings was the private property of Mrs. Arnold, and in I no way affected the Food Control Com- mittee. I ONLY REFERRED TO EGGS. I -? I I Mr. Arnold said the nOOK produced in I court was the hook picked up by the Food Control Committee's officer. It contained no entries concerning meat, hut only entries regarding the sale of eggs, etc. Defendants denied that the officer had asked for the account book, but for the hook that was on the counter. They did not keep any books, as the transactions were strictly caf-h. The case of June lith ogainst both c- fendants was dismissed. In the case of July 2lith. a fill of £5 Was imposed on Mr. Arnold.

I SOUTH RUSSIA. r o ■ Denikin's March of Victory. [ General Deniken's recent successes in South Russia are developing in a rapid war march of victory. A War Offtco communique on Wednesday night says: "Denikin's left wing continues to gain brilliant successes. The Bolsheviks how admit that they have been diiven out of the two impor- tant towns of Kherson and Nikoiaieff, the occupation of which in the early part of this yeaf was heralded as a decisive success on the part of the Soviet armies "These gains have now been wreste i from them b'\ the irresistible advance of Denikin's troops. The Bolsheviks hav6 been driven back to the line of the Bug by the pur- suing volunteer cavalry. Further to the North, on the Dnei- per, Denikin has occupied Clierkaissv (less than 100 miles soutli-east of Kied, the capital of the Ukraine). At Cherkassy the last railway Hne (from Central Russia to Odessa) which remained to the Bolsheviks crosses the Dneiper. "This important passage has now; been lost to them, and there can be no doubt—even though no confirmation has been received of the Bolshevik evacua- tion of the great port of Odessa—tfyat j its fate is now sealed. Soviet Russia will very shortly lose, if it has not already lost, its last footing on the Black Sea shores."

COAST TRAFFIC. Effect of New Scheme on Swansea. I On another page we publish details of I Sir Auckland Geddesecheme to develops the coastwise traffic and thereby re- lieve the pressure on the railways. low we give some Swansea views on its effect. I HOW SWANSEA WILL BE I AFFECTED. The opinion of some of the leading shippers at the Swansea docks is that the effect of the new order is not likely to be very great here, for the reason that the coal which is required for bunkering at Liverpool or London is principally best steam, Cardiff quality, and therefore Our, coasting trade is likely to be greatly ijj. creased iD this d'rection. If the email boas required for this coasting trade a, diverted from Swansea, there will fewer to take the anthracite required by our French customers. •. v COAL FOR FRANCE. I This feature of the 6?kr* h6 practical^ b?an tc show -i?lf. At ????.M momnt pr"ntries for France ?? ftot being granted to small British boats This suggests that these beate k$VO to allocated for the British coasting trade In order to make up for this deficiency of British boat s for France, it would be neceesary to obtain neutral tonnage, and there ;A not i great deal of this availably at the present moment. If the order re- lates to general cargoes, then small boats will have to be taken from the coal busi- ness to engage in this. Another phase of this order is that coasting freights will increase and the difference between theSri railway rates— which will be considerable—will have to ba borne by the public. Really, it comes l to this: The New Order hae no immedi- ate beneficial results for-, Swansea, as if Swansea coal h.106 to go to London or Liverpool so much less will be available for foreign export. Should the collieries. however, give anything li pre-war de- liveries, the whole posit'on will be altered.

Bonm, the examining magistrate, con- tinued the intei rogation regarding the ^lieappearanoe of Madame Peiletier, thp widow of M. Guillin M. Coquet.

She further stated that her fiance had a nice property at Vornouillet. Wit- ness said he received a letter from Madame Guillin about August 5th, 1915, and after that heard nothing of her. He was now convinced that his mother-in-law was dead. Confronted with this witness, Landru declared lie did not know him. After questioning Landru about the papers of identity which had belonged to Madame Guillin and which were found on the pr;&:mer, :M. Bonin asked him to state why, in certain circumstances, he had used.the name of Guillin and written on a card of identity the name of Mons. and Madame Croquet. Landru replied that he cert.a.inli had a reason, but he could not remember what it was, M. Bonin suggested to Land ru that Madamethlilhn had, however, gone with him to Vernouillet, Landru said he considered that he ou-,I)t not to reply. M. Tanguy, Police Commissioner gave an account of the search conducted at Landru's house in the Rue Rochechouart.

Landru replied that he had the right to deny the existence of Madame Guillin AN IMPUDENT RETORT. I Upon Landru being confronted with Madame Coquet, step-daughter of Madame Guillin, the judge asked the prisoner what prevented him from re- plying to direct questions to which he answered My memory is good when 1 have the documents before me. Besides it is your business to show proof that'l committed the crimes I am charged with I have not to enter into other con- siderations.

"LEADER" FLIGHTS.! I Schoolgirl's Story. II Excited, But Not Afraid.. Little Eveline Thorne, of 1354, Neath- road, Hafod, Swansea, is a lucky little girl. She was one of the first Leader ) free flight winners and in the same issue in which her name was published as a winner, that of Saturday last, she wa judged the first prize-winner in Uncle John's Children's Column competitioffiJ for the best essay on an imaginary conõ ,versation between a fountain pen and f quill. That shows she is also a clever little girl. A Leader representative visited Eveline on Thursday morning to hear her story of the flight. He found <■ bright little maid who was busy helping her mother with the housework and wh? had plenty to say in regard to her &r? trip m the aeroplane. trip Well how dfd you like flying. Wet you at all nervous?" asked our man, and Eveline replied I was a bit excited of course but I was not at all afraid." I She went on to speak of her experi- ence. I went up with a gentleman and he sat on the back of the seat in the aeroplane and every now and again lie would pick me up to look over the side as I was too low down to see over by my- self. Then the gentleman took som- photographs. Well what did you see I when he lifted Ton up." was the next question to which the youthful flyer re- plied, I could see some of the parks, and lots of small houses, ever so tiny, i and lots of people—and they all looked ¡ like a lot of blackbeetles walking around "-a comparison which really appeals to anyone who has witnessed a crowd from above. Mrs. Thorne then told how she took I Eveline down to the Sands for the flight "She's a plucky little girl" she said, I was more nervous than she was. And her luck seemed to be with her all th time as the gentleman she went up with' had paid for a long flight." THIRTEEN YEARS OLD. i -?, -? vEveline s father. Mr. r red i hornc. who is an engine driver at the Persian Oil Company's Works at Skewen, also filled in a coupon and Eveline herself only filled in one, although she knew several people who had filled in several. She is now 13 years of age and attends the Hafod School, and prior to winning the essay prise she had been awarded a prize for a smart saying. She will have lots to tell her schoolfellows when the school re-opens after the summer holidays.
