i "USELESS AID CONTENIPTIBLE- 1 ——— I IUNELLY BCYo biHGHEl) FOB C.W.R. iiaid. I This is one of the most mean, con- temptible and useless thefts which it is possible to imagine.So said Mr. T. R. Ludlord at the Ll.xueliy Juvenile Court on Tuesday, iu opening the case for the prosecution in which Percy Granaway, 3, Xeir Dock-road; Walter ,V illin,ill 5, 10, Ileol Tregoning; Ernest Davies, 6, Cor- nish-place; Roger liees, Cornish-place; and Harold Jenkins, 59, Ropewaik-road, were summoned for stealing a quantity of bandages, piaster and cotton wool, the property of the G.W.R. Co. Mr. Ludford explained that in the guard's van attached to every passenger train was a first aid ambulance box, which was provided in case of accident. These boys were at v.hat was ){nowu a& bpion Kop crossing ,and they not only broke open one of these cases but stole the contents. His instructions were to pressi the charge. During the last month, seven boxes of ambulance tools and four ambulance ca-ses had been taken away j from'the vans. The boxes were after- wards found battered and broken, the contents having been extracted. Supposing an accident happened and persons went to the van for the first aid material which might be the means of saving a life and found it ill i¡3in¡;, j t would be a vet-y scnous matter. W. If. Morris, Fforestfach, Swansea, a idetectivo in the employ of the Great Western Railway Company, said that on November 17th he saw the defendants Percy Granaway, Roger Rees, Harold] Jenkins, aJJd Ernest Da vies, and told them he was making inquiries about ambulance cases and boxes which had "benll broken inir belonging to the C-wr Western Railway Company during past month. All the lads made admi.i<(I sions. ot l .n Lew,s -L,,are Detective-Sergeant Hod?a Lewis gare! j oorroborative fvid?nco, and the defon-! ?daDtb hAYin? pleaded guilty, the BcEch rMervGd tho penaity ?ntil they had! heard the next case, iu which Roger Ret>s. Erllest Davies and Harold Jenkins j again figur2d. Later in 'the proceedings the presiding magistrate (Mr. Ileruy Wilkins) said, j "The bench are very sorry t nfind boys, of your age having behaved in such a dis-: graoetul manner on a Sunday afternoon. A more wicked thing you could not have done." Defendants were ordered to re- ceive six strokes each with the birch. Tbe boys and their mothers burst into tears whn the announcement was made, and they appealed to the Bench to re- j consider their decision, one woman ask-ingi Can't we have the birch instead of the by. P" The Presiding Magistrate: We abide by our decision, and we hope this will be a warning to the defendants and others. Dear Apples. Seven boys were then summoned for stealing a quantity uf apples, value 2b. i fitL, the property of the Great Western Railway Company, defendants' names bfÜ¡ Wm- Albert Da vies, 77, Kopewalk- ro?d; John Davies, 7, Campl)(ll-trûet; I Harold Delam'y, 6.

Mr. Ludford said it was with consider- able reluctance that the Great Western Railway Company prosecuted these boys, but the Company suffered so much Sun- day after Sunday. Boys went about the I sidings, entered the, vanr-, and opened i canisters of tea. They strew the tea I along the Lines, took wine bottles and broke them. Mr. W. H Morris, detective in tho employ of the Great Western Railway Company, and Detective-Sergeant Hodge i Lewis gave evidence, and tho defendants pladod guilty. The.

Germany's scheme for establishing a! naval base at Zecbrugge (15 miles north- east of Oftend) hiis been thwarted by shells from the British warships on the coast (according to James Dunn in tho Daily Mail.") Zcebnïgge is burning. The Solvay near tho Bruges ship canal are a heap of ruins. The sections of six sub- marines which had been brought there have been reduced to twisted iron and a large quantity of stores has been de- stroyed. From 2 tilt 5 yesterday after- noon (-hells were rained on tiie town. Steaming well out at sea, beyond the German mine field, a British ship used her big guns. In less than an hour the ooastgard building and the public schools were destroyed. The military! t.rains at the Solway works were blown to fragmeiit6, and a large crano which was being used for p nttlc^ the submarines together has simply disappeared. The German batteries hiding in the dunes near Blankenberg tried to reply to the fire of the swift-moving ships, which could just be discerned, but in a short time the German guns were knocked over like ninepins. The guns near Heyat 8015) replied, and a shot from the fleet struck the church tower there. The Germans in Zcebrug?e became do moralised. In desperate ha&to they at- tempted to remove their stores to Bruges, including the apparatus for making hydrogen for Zeppelins, but a section of the railway had been blown up.. -No shelter could be obtained from the shells, the explosive force of which was terrific. Earlier in the day the fleet bombarded the coast from Middtdkerke northwards to the Dutch ?'cntiHr, clearing the dunes of the Germans' advanced right wing. For several weeks the enemy have been col- lecting stores and fortifying Zeebrugge in the hope oc making it a strong naval base. Now they are thrown beck to Bruges. SEVERE BOMBARDMENT.

I Two German batteries were silenced near Wost&ade, but the Franco-British squadron operating tbore was obliged to withdraw owing to the frequently accu- rate aud always furious Germ.,m fire. whereby one torpedo destroyer was seriously damaged.
