INOT GUILTY! . I
I NOT GUILTY! R'USSIAN JEW ACQUITTED. VERDICT WHICH MAY LEAD TO POSROMS. SWANSEA RABBI'S THANKS. The monstrous charge of ritual murder preferred* against the Jew Mendel Beiiiss has collapsed. As reported in our 6.30 edition yes- d-erday, the Kieff jury returned a ver- dict of Not Guilty." Unfortunately, however, the verdict is not as clear as it would seem at first sight, for the jury decided, according to one constructJOll phtced on their verdict, that the crime was a "ritual" one, although Beiliss was not person- ally concerned in it. This seems to be based on the fact that the murdered Christian boy, Andrew Tushinsky, had been wounded in forty-seven places. Reutar's correspondent at Kieff states that the jury found that Beiliss is not guilty, but the murder was committed at the Zaitseff works. (BeiUss was employed at the Zaitseff brick works, which are owned and occu- pied by Jews.) I Public Opinion. I While public opinion throughout the I world has readily absolved the Hebrew community from this awful ciiat-gp-for which, be it said, there is not a shadow of foundation in any of the religious practices prescribed for the Jewish race --it must be remembered that the un- educated Russian populace, held in the grip of superstition, are not in a posi- ar4e not in a, posi- tion to judge the facts as are the people of other countries^ where the news- papers are unrestricted in their reports. It is therefore to be regretted that, al- though Beiliss himself has been ac- quitted there has been no frank re- pudiation of the charge of ritualism. When Beiliss, who has been on trial since October 8th, heard the result of the jury's deliberations, he fell hack into his scat and sobbed convulsively. During the whole trial he has been a mere nonentity, being scarcely permit- ted to open his month. I Pogroms Feared. It is feared that the jury's decision that the crime was committed in th?? Zaitseff works will be interpreted by the anti.emites ab,an exprebSiou of opinion that it -was committed by Jews, and grave fears are expressed that pogroms—or-organised attacks on the Jews—may follow. There is an uneasy feeling in Kieff, which the presence of I- I large bodies of troops and police has not dispelled, for it has frequently been alleged that the authorities have on previous occasions connived at such outbreaks. BEILISS LIBERATED. Welcomed by Family and Friends. As we go to press the following tele- gram is to hand :— Kieff, Tue-sdav.—Beiliss was liberated la.st night. He reached the Zaitseff Works at ten o'clock, and was wel- comed by his wife, family and friends. The Lukianooka quarter, where the brickworks are situated, is patrolled by Cossacks and polic-e. No excesses took place last nig t.Eeutei-. RABBI'S THANKS. Swansea's Sympathy Appreciated.

OFFICER MOBBED. I
OFFICER MOBBED. I ALSATIANS. ENRAGED BY ALLEGED INCITEMENT TO MURDER. (I\ entry's Foreign Spccial.) Berlin, Monday.—Much excitement has been created in Alsace by an denl. at Zabern, where a lieutenant of the giiriison, who is alleged to have told his men he would give ten marks for every Alsatian vagabond -stabbed, has been the object of mob attacks. He had to return to barracks- from the offi- club under a.rmed escort, and he was besieged yesterday by an angry crowd in his quarters. The lieutenant made the remark in explaining to his men that they must defend themselves if attacked. A 'Semi-ogicial despatch states that Lieutenant Ton Foerstner wa.s besieged, not at his quarters, but at a. private house where he happened to be. He was escorted to the barracks by two soldiers with fixed bayonets. A crowd of about a, thousand persons gathered in front of the officers' club, and began to demonstrate against the lieutenant, de- manding he ,should come out, and threatening to lynch him. Several arrests were effected. The non-commis-sioncd officer who is reported to have promised to add three marks from his own pocket to the sum offered by the lieutenant wa'S then dragged into a side street and mis- j handled 1Iv the rioters. The situation in the town is a mo-t difficult one. An army uniform every- where excites mockery and insult on the part of the populace.

r THE CUSTOM OF f KISSING¡
r THE CUSTOM OF f KISSING ¡ A TOPIC OF INTEREST TO I EVERYBODY I LADY DOCTOR'S ATTACK. I "Kissing goes by favour," is an old f saw, but if Dr. Mary Scharliet had her way it would go altogether! Addressing the Institute of Hygiene yesterday, she declared that "that utterly stupid custom of kissing," in which women were the worst offenders, caused the catching of cold and the spread of influenza. By the bye, according to "Who's Who," Dr. Mary Scharliet, who has had I a very distinguished met!al career, "marrieu a, barristei practising in 'I India." The Use of Drugs. ) Other things the lecturer deprecated! were the use of drugs and the taking of too little sleep. Food, dress, and exercise were im- portant considerations from the point of view of health. In this connection lunches of pastry, cakes, and ginger beer were condemned. So, too, were tight dresses, high-heeled s hoes, and flimsy, low-cut blouses for women who N work. j To Save Trouble. I The lecturer pointed out also the dis- advantages of cheap and quick loco- motion, which tempted women to save themselves trouble and thus deprive themselves of the opportunity of the healthy necessary exercise of walking. The lecturer; declared motherhood to be the finest career for all women.
PiLGTAGE COMMITTEE I a -
PiLGTAGE COMMITTEE I a PROPOSAL TO EXTEND THE SWANSEA I AREA. At a meeting of the Swansea Pilotage Committee, held this morning at tne Harbour Office, under the presidency oi Mr. Roger Beck/ a letter wa>s received from Captain W. J. Davies, tendering his resignation as a member of the com- mittee. The intimation came as a great j surprise, inasmuch as Captain Davies was only recently re-elected to serve with Captain Ceorge (Geen and Captain Charles Harris. Captain Davies, on being seen by a 'representative of the "Leader," said that he was not in a position to deny that his resignation had been sent in, but that as to the circumstances he j preferred to make no statement. j From inquiries in other directions, j we Joarn that the resignation is the out- eOllle of a difference of opinion which has arisen in connection with a, proposal jior extending the Ibcal''pilotage area. j The views or Captain Davies are not, jit a-ppears, in accord with those of some of the other pilots, and under the cir- jcumstanees he felt that retirement was the only course open to him. Captain David Tamlin, who has I served on the committee for a long period, is also an absentee this year.

ON THE ALERT. i I
ON THE ALERT. i 00 GREAT BRITAIN MUST BE FIRST. PREMIER AND FIRST LORD II ON POLICY. NAVAL SUPREMACY. I THE LIMITATION OF AIM^NTS. I THE MEXICAN CRISIS. ———— Seme highly important utterances were made last night at the CuikRiall banquet given by the Lord Mayor. The Premier and the First Lerd ef the Admiralty made statements which will be road with world-wide interest. The chief points of the Ministers' speeches are summarised and given he- low. — .———— < ?.———-t?— THE PREMIER. I Great Britain and Mexioe. I Mr. Asquith said there could be no 1 question of political intervention by Great Britain in the domestic concerns of Mexico. The Government has; recognised General Hurta as President; ad interim on March 31st—before the present Administration of the United States had any opportunity of declaring j a policy. The Govej,nynenio..adl- made: the assumption that the wbuld j have regard to legitimate foreign com- i mercial interests in Mexico as well asj their own. Armaments. I Having spoken of the exceptional j prosperity enjoyed by the world of late I years, and expressed his opinion that' some slackening of the tide was mevit- able, he referred to tho enormous! amount spent on armaments. "Is it not time," he asked, "for statesmen and every man ot business to! take, counsel together to secure a saner j and a more fruitful appropriation of the! common resources of mankind?" ) The Balkans. On the question of the Near East, the Premier said they wished to see jio territorial invasion of Asiahe Turkey, I but the most. necessary safeguard for j its maintenance was internal reform. "We in Great Britain gladly offer any help in the prosecution of the task of reform which the Turkish Govenmaent| may invite." mi • —— I MR. CHURCHILL. j Large increase in Estimates. Mr. Churchill said they met that night in circumstances more free from danger to European peace than when he last ■ addressed them. They met that night j with a greater development of naval; force and power than before. But they must not suppose that any j relaxation of our effort:; was possible at' present. Nor was the burden likely to I be diminished, for next year it would be his duty to present to Parliament estimates substantially greater than I the enormous sum originally voted in the present year. I Bane, cf Europe. I Nevert heless the Government would embrace and work for every opportunity to abate the competition in naval and military armaments which was the bane of and reproach to modern Europe. But what Mas necessary had got to be done. (Cheers.) After discussing the question of aero- plane and submarine v. Dreadnought, he said "The ultimate decision of naval war will rest with those who can place into the line of battle fleets and squadrons which in numbers, in quality, in homo- genity, iu orgitn I sat loll, in weight of I metal, and in good shooting are suppri-or to anything they may be called upon to meet. "Our submarine service, thanks to th? foresight of Lord Fisher—(cheers)— is more than twice as powerful as that of the next strongest naval power. I The Air. I "Even in the regions of the air, into which with characteristic British pru- dence, we have moved with some tardi- ness—(laughter)—even in the regions of the air the Navy need not fear com- parison with the Navy of any other i country. The British seaplane has reached a point of progress in advance of anything attained elsewhere. "But that is not enough, and J have come here to-night to toll you that it lis not only in naval aeroplanes 't;h:1t we must have superiority. I would ven- ture to submit to you, this great com- pany assembled, that:— Th? enduring safety of this country will not be maintained by force of arms unless over th" whole sphere ef aes ial development wc are able to roaks ourselves the first nation. "That will he a task of long duration. Many difficulties have to be overcome. Other countries have started sooner. The native genius of France, the in- domitable perseverance of Germany have produced results which we at pre- sent cannot equal. In order to achieve the position which is necessary, the War Office and the Admiralty will have to work together as they are now work- ing in the closest intimacy and co- niacy an d co- operation. (Cheers.) t Sacrifices Needed. I "In order to achieve that position you will have to make up your minds to I spend year after year your money, and I month after month to pay a t'oll of precious life. The keenest eye, the surest hand, the most undaunted heart must be offered as risk and sacri- fice in order that we may attain, as we 'shall undoubtedly attain, that perfec- tion in aerial warfare which will he an indispensable element not only in naval 'strength, but in national security." (Loud cheers.)

I The relations Great Britain with the rnitccl States and with Mexico were the subject of an important speech by the Premier last night, as reported in another column. j At present the position is as follows: President Wilsen still declines to recognise General Huerta. General H uertastill declines to re- sign. President Wilson yesterday com- municated to the ife'itish Foreign Office an outline of the policy which the United States propose to adopt in the L o z,? l oi)t in the event of General Huerta persisting in remaining Dictator in Mexico.

Washington, Monday—President Wil- ¡ son has made it plain that he has no in- tention of sending a special message tq I Congress, as the Mexican situation is not in a shape for him to have anything, to say.
