r "MVOLUT!M ?1- 1 1166 RE-VOLUTION 99 I IMMINENT IN TURKEY." WHAT BULGARIA WAITS FOR; HAVRE, Monday. A message which I have received to- ftay from a highly-placed personage in he Balkans states that one should not low oneself to be too much impressed y the changes which Bulgarian policy Appears to undergo from day to day. aney result from the hesitating attitude bf Serbia and Greece, and also from the revolution which is imminent in Turkey. These changes, says my correspondent, recall those which for three months swayed Italian policy.—("Daily Tele- eraDh.") THE TUR.CO-BULGARIAN MYSTERY. ROME, Monday. In political and diplomatic spheres in Rome, as in official circles, there is still no confirmation of the Turco-Bulgarian agreement, and the belief is persistently held that if an agreement has really been signed, it in no wise binds Bulgaria to act against the policy of the Quadruple Entente. The general belief in Rome is that Bulaaria will onlv come to a decision after definite replies are given by Serbia and Greece to the Entente. If these replies are favourable to the demands of Bulgaria, she will go over openly to the Entente; if they are not satisfactory, then the agreement with Turkey will be published.-(" Daily Telegraph.")

THROWN QVERBOARl GERMANS FLOUT CONTRABAND LAW. STATEMENT BY THE FOREIGN OFFICE. The following Foreign Office message is important, because it proves that the Ger- mans throw overboard all International Law as regards contraband. The quotation of a German Navy order of August 17th, 1914, justifies up to the hilt the British blocade. FOREIGN OFFICE, Monday. Judgments have recently been delivered by the German Prase Court at Hamburg in the of the steamships Maria- and Batavier V. The Maria, It Dutch vessel, was carrying a cargo of wheat, shipped' at Portland (Oregon) to Belfast and Dublin. She was captured and sunk by the German warship Karlsruhe in the Atlantic on September. 21st. The Batavder V., a Dutch vessel bound for London, was captured in the -l; capture d in the North Sea on March 18, and taken 4) Zee- brugge on suspicion of carrying contraband. The sinking of the Maria was justified by the German Prize Court on the ground that the Karlsruhe was unable to ta.ke the vessel into a German port or the port of an allied Power and so acted pursuant to Article 113 of the German Naval Priae Regulations. This was said not to require any further explanation, and payment of indemnity to the owner was refused. ThE judgments show that in considering the question of the destination of condi- tional contraband [food is absolute contra- band only when going to the army of the enemy] the German Prize Court held that it is to he guided by a communication of the Chief of the General Staff of the Navy ad- dressed to the court on August 17, 1914, concerning Jhe ports to be regarded as for- tified places, or as bases of operations and supply for British armed forces in Great Britain issued by supreme command." As the court has in other cases held that such places as Ipswich, Poole, Bo'nes's, and Grangemouth foil the Fort.h) are Bases or fortified places, it may be inferred that these also are in- cluded in the list referred to. In order to rebut the presumption thus set up that conditional contraband destined for such places is intended for military and not civil use, the court held that the ooun- terproof must satisfy the most rigorous con- ditions, and that it would only be possible to furnish it in rare cases. With regard to the cargo of wheat in the Maria, they held there was no means of ascertaining with the least certainty what use the wheat would have been put to at the arrival of the vessel at Belfast and whether the Brit- ish Government would not have come upon the scene as purchaser. The effect of these decisions appears to be to abolish in practice the distinction be- tween absolute and conditional contraband of war.

WANDERED TO SWAN- SEA. ROAMINGS OF CARDIFF CHILDREN. Two well-dressed children, a boy and a girl. were seen roaming about the streets at Swansea about midnight on Friday, and were interrogated by a Mrs. Church, of 48, Prince of Wales-road, and taken indoors. The boy said his name was Clarke Thomas Phillips, and the girl, was his sister Nora, and they resided at 132, Port Manor-road, Splott, Cardiff. Mrs. Church informed the police, and a telephone communication to Cardiff relieved anxious parents at the ad- drees given, and they were sent home by the police in charge of the guard. In conversation with a representative of the "Daily Post" on Monday, Mrs. Church said she had occasion to go to her front door about 12 o'clock on Friday night, when she saw the two children roaming about, and she took them indoors. The girl's age was 13 and that of the boy 11. They stayed with Mts. Church until Saturday, when they were taken away by the police. The little girl, who was most intelligent, told Mrs. Church that they had come down from Cardiff by train. They had changes of clothes, Mrs. Church said, and plenty of money. The girl cried bitterly when told she was to go back home, and said she would run away again. Mrs. Church added that they appeared to come from a respectable family, and the little girl, who, by the way, did all the talk- ing, told her that her father was a traveller.

DISASTER IN THE THAMES. 116 BOYS AND OFFICER DROWNED. I TRAINING SHIP BOAT COLLIDES WITH TUG. An officer and sixteen boys of the training ship Cornwalli, stationed in the Thames at Purfieet, were drowned as the result of a collision. Just before noon more than twenty boys, under the charge of an officer, were taken out in a boat for rowing practice. When the boa,t was opposite the garrison jetty a sqmi.ll came on, and an approaching tug collided with the boat, catching it broadside on a.nd. sinking it. Several ttigs in the neighbourhood went to the assistance of the boys. Four were picked up by one of the vessels, and two by another. I A DANGEROUS SPOT. The boys were teken back to tile oornwaii, and wore there revived. > It was the long boat of the Cornwall in which the boys were rowing, and it was out riehfc through by the colliding tug, the occu- pants having not the slightest ohanoe of saving themselves. At the point where the disaster occurred the river is very deep, and in its bed are a number of holes. A strong current also rushes along there, and the most powerful swimmer would have the greatest difficulty in reaching the bank if he once got into the area of the current. Some 18 months ago an aeroplane came I down in the same spot, and was never =.,O gain. Search is being made for the bodies of the VJct¡ms. ?_

I ALLEGATION AGAINST I WIFE. I WHAT EX-MARGAM CLERK I, SAW. 1 STORY AT ABERAYON POLICE I COURT. I At Abe.ravon on Monday, Annie Mary Jones, Tonmawr Farm, Morgana, summoned her husband, Stagey Jones, clerk, of S-uiinybarik- House, Dowlais, for desertion. Mr. D. Perkins appeared for complainant and Mr. L. M. Thomas for defendant. Mr. Perkins explained that the proceed- ings were tak-en, for desertion, whicli,took place, he alleged, on the 21st of July Hast. The parties wre married in April, 1914. Since the marriage they had lived in com- plasnani' parents' house, Tonmawr Farm, .Alargar,i. During the whole. of that time defendant had made no effort to provide her with a home, and had only given her JS4 10s. for maintenance. After the deser- tion the wife received a letter from him, which accused her of adultery with a man named Jones.. Complainant, in reply to Mr. Thomas, denied strongly the husband's allegation of her adultery wath the man Griffith Jones, who, ag a matter of iact, wai her cousin, and had lived on the farm for over 25 v ears. Her husband had never been cruel to her, and she summoned him only for desertion. Defendant said that on the 19th Jnly he was at Port Taihot, and from something he saw on the Monday he became suspicious. On the 21st he missed his wife from bed at dawn. He went downstairs and into the kitchen, where he saw his wife and the man Jones. rn a compromising position on t.1\P sofa. He  Did not say a word, Did not, say a word! but felt velv ail and upset over the incident, and went back to bed. His wife came up later, and he next heard her getting up. lAter in the morning, whilst in the kitchen, ho told his wife, You have played the game well, but I have won at last." She d'd not reply, but later said, You mean Griff, do you?" He heardl brs mother-in- call him names in Welsh. In reply to his advocate, defendant said he had always been friendly with Griffith Jones, hut of whom he was always suspicious with pegard to his wife. His reason for leaving his wife was her adultery which he had seen with his own eyes. By Mr. Perkins: Why didn't you tell her parents or anybody else what you saw? Defendant: t did not do so. aMr. Perkins: Do you think your wife is as well educated as yourself? Defendant: I don't think she is. Mr. Perkins: Have you ever warned your wife In the presence of anybody ?—No. Mr. Perkins submitted that the evidence given by defendant was insufficient to sub- stantiate the charge of adultery, therefore his case was prima facie. Mr. L. M. Thomas (for defendant) said the surrounding evidenoe in the case was abun- dant, and he thought that the rebutting .vidence should be placed before the court. The Bench granted a separation, defendant to contribute 12s. 6d. weekly, and pay all costs of the case. j

f ADVANCE PAST I PLizze- ITALIANS PRESS ON- WARD. t g ■ ■ CONTROL OF THE I PREDIL PASS. I I (Press Association War Service.) KuME, Monday. The communique issued to-day says:- In the Val Laigana our patrols progressed towards the summit of tbe Cista (2,185 metres), commanding our position on Monte Sabulio from the north-west. It was found that this summit was held by a detachment of enemy infantry with machine guns. On August 28th the position was attacked by our troops, and in spcte of heavy artillery fire by the enemy was carried and held. j In Ca-rnm during the evening of August 27th the enemy, after a long period of inactivity, made fresh desperate attacks agaunst our Pal Piccolo positions, and was, i as usual, repulsed. In the Piezzo basin our troops some days ago succeeded dn pushing beyond this im- portant village and now cover it From strong positions, I barring access by the Predii Pass, by the Upper Isonzo, and by the Slatenik Valley. The enemy, unable to repulse us, as usual, opened an intense artilery fire on the houses at Plezzo (or Flitsch), causing some fires. In the sector of Tolmino fresh progress is reported by our troops, in spite of many difficulties, on the heights to the West. On the Carso the enemy was forced by a cleverly arranged advance by our troops to abandon some trenches, which were found full of dead and of arms and ammunition; Our daring aerial raids, which are always directed towards military objectives, con- tinue with success. Yesterday we bombarded the station at Vogarsko, large enemy en- campments near Kostange Vica, and am- munition depots at Sesana. Our -mach,-nes were not damaged. I

Weir, who ia acting for Mr. Gladstone Davies, who is serv- ing with the Army. Mr. James Thomas, the chairman, pointed out that the duties were being carried out in an unsatisfactory man- ner, and rural matters were not having pro. per consideration. Mr. J. H. Rosser proposed that the office of veterinary surgeon be done away with urntil Mr. Gladstone Davies returned, and sug- gested they should give notice to this effect. It was pointed out that they could not give Mr. J. M. Weir notice because he was only doing the work temporarily for Mr. Glad- stone Davies, and ultimately it was decided to write to Mr. Gladstone Davies telling him the work was not being properly done during his absence, and they would expect him to forego the salary for this period.
