DUNVANrS INDiCHATiON
DUNVANrS INDiCHATiON County Council Opposition to Extension. A meeting of the Ratepayers' Assotin)- tion of rhmTOnt and Killay was held at the Parish Hall, Dunvant, on Friday evening. It was decided to call the attention of the District Council to the condition of the Goitre-road Bridge, Dunvant. The following resolution was proposed by the Chairman and seconded by the Rev. J. H. Davies. That this association views with great indignation the action of the Glamorgan County Council in opposing the Swansea Borough Extension scheme, as being op- posed to the best interest of the people and their frequently unanimously ex- pressed wishes, as evidenced by petition and meeting, and we call npon the Glamorgan County Council not only to withdraw their opposition, but to give every support in their power." It was decided to send copies of the resolution to the clerk of the Glamorgan County Council, the clerk of the Swansea Borough Council, and others.

VILLAGE PARTLY DESTROYED.
VILLAGE PARTLY DESTROYED. A third of the village of Melboum, in Cambridgeshire. which is about three niiles from Royston, has been destroyed by fire, and fifte-en families are homeless. The fire broke out in a part of the village in the centTe of which is a black- smith's sl-.op. The cottages have thatched roofs, and it is supposed that a spark from the forge fell on one of the roofs. In less than twenty minutes nearly a score of houses were involved in the fire. The village brigade turned out, but their appliances were incapable of deal- ing with the outbreak. A lady motorist called the Royston brigade, and soldiers brought the Baldock engine on to the scene, and they were able to bring a big volume of water from the river on to the flamed The fire burned for nearly eight hours before it was got under. One woman, with several children, lost her husband at the front last week. Letters for enemy countries, or for pieces in the occupation of the enemy, enclosed in letters for neutral countries, will not in future be forwarded unless the cover of the letter for an enemy country is left open.

THE SCROLL OF FAME.
THE SCROLL OF FAME. I LGCAl MEI IN THE CASUALTY LISTS. BUARYPORT GAS SUFFERER. Private David Guliuhs, bouierset Light Infantry, son of Mrs. Margaret Griffiths Clarion House, Burryport, who was gasseu by poisonous fumes on April 30, has re- turned home. CARDIGANSHIRE MAN WOUNDFt Among those recently wounded in the Dardanelles was Mr. Ivor Jenkins, a grandson of the late General Alexander Jenkins, of Penyrallt., Aberporth, Cardi- ganshire, and a nephew of Mrs. Reddie, of Penyrallt. Mr. Jenkins is attached to the Australian forces. Captain Reddie, of the 3rd Batt. Nor- folk Regt., only son of Mrs. Reddie, is a prisoner in Germany, where he was seized by the German authorities before the actual outbreak of war, and has been confined in various fortresses ever since. I CARDIGANSHIRE BROTHER OFFICERS. Lieut. J. A. S. Stewart, 1st Battalion Rifle Brigade, eon of the Hon. Mrs Stewart, of Alltyrodin. Cardiganshire, who has been reported as missing, is be- lieved to be a prisoner in Germany. Writing to Allty-rodin, a brother officer stated that the position Lieut. J. A. S. Stewart held was soon to have been com- pletely surrounded by the Germans, and that the general opinion is that un- doubtedly he and his men were captured. No definite news may be heard for several months-to oome. Lieut. Stewart, another son of the Hon. Mre. Stewart, was in hospital in France suffering from gas poisoning. LLANELLY LIEUTENANT KILLED. News has reached Llanelly to-day that Lieut. Tom Roberts, of the Cheshires, has been killed at the front. Although suffer- ing from having inhaled gas, the gallant young lieutenant was leading his men forward when he was mortally wounded. Lieut. Roberts, who was the son of Mr. J. W. Roberts, florist, paid a flying visit to his home last week end. At that time he claimed the distinction of being the only one of the officers of the Cheshiree who had not been wounded or killed. At one time he was for 25 consecutive days in the trenches. He returned to the front on Friday last week, and had only been in the firing line a few days when he was killed. He was 20 years of age, and when the war broke out he was pursuing his studies in college. He was formerly a pupil at the Llanelly Intermediate School. ON THE MAJESTIC Another Swansea man on the Majes- tic was Mr. Wm. Ernest Warren, of 12. Richardson-st., Swansea. Mr. War- ren, who is 39 years of age, had been employed for a mat- ter of 7 years by the Castle Steam Trawlers Co. on one of their vessels, and as a naval re- eervist was called up when the war broke out, and pro- ceeded to Devon- port, from where he was drafted on to the Maiestic. In his last letter he expressed his pleasure at the successes gained by the Allied troops landed at the Dardanelles. He also said that all the ships were fight- ing hard, but they had been very lucky, and his ship had not been hit. Petty Offi-cer- Ernest Jones, of Woodville-road Mumbles, who, as we reported yesterday, was one of the crew of H.M.S. Majestic.. As a war economy the Dudley Guard- ians yesterday decided to dismiss the entire workhouse mechanical staff. Mr. Edward Baverstock Merriman, for nearly thirty years chairman of iX Capital and Counties Bank, died yester- day.
WHERE WILL THE BEAR CO ?
WHERE WILL THE BEAR CO ? I Two "Spanish Prisoners." I People residing in the Uplands dis- I trict were amused on Tuesday by the antics of a performing bear, which danced to the time beaten on an old tambovrine | I by an elderly, rather unkempt foreigner. A sequel to the-se performances was heard at the Swansea Police Court on Saturday, when the owner of the bear, Marco Kosteesh, aged 63, was charged with cruelly ill-treating the animal. Maroo, together with a man named Joseph Laeteesh, both of them Spaniards, was also charged with being found in the prohibited area of Swansea without having registered himself. Neither of the men could speak English, so that an interprets- had to be engaged. Kosteesh denied ill-treating the animal, but Inspector Lindsay, of the R.S.P.C.A., Iwho produced a long thick stick, said he saw the man in Hawthorne Avenue with the bear, a brown one, which was exhausted and very much distressed, having danced on its hind legs for some time. Because the bear would not do a-s he wanted, Kosteesh struck it re- peatedly across the head with the stick He was taken to the police station by Sergt. Rees, and when charged, said he had to earn his living with the bear.—In the cases of failing to register, the men pleaded ignorance, as they could not speak English. Kosteesh said they both lived in vans, and travelled the country. Superintendent Roberts said the authorities had been after these men for ill-treating animals for sotne time, but they were missed at Port Talbot. This was by no means an isolated -ase. Each of the men was fined S5 or one month's imprisonment for failing to re- gister, and Kosteesh was fined £1 for ill- treating the bear. .——'
IFELL 6,000 FEET
I FELL 6,000 FEET I Von Bueiow's Relative Killed In Air Duel. Paris, Friday.-Liut,.A.viator Von Buelow, believed to be a relatire of the German ex-Chancellor, has been killed in an aerial duel near Fismes while on his way to raid Paris. Lieut. Von. Bue- lovr's machine was brought down by a French aeroplane belonging to the newly formed rapid squadron. The pilot of this, relating the exploit in the U Matin 6ays: U I eaw an Albatross coming from the German lines at Laon, making for the Chateau Thierry and Paris. I gave chase. The German was 8,000 feet up. I rose o 9,000 feet, and as I had a faster machine I rapidly overhauled him. We drew to within 30 feet of the Albatross, but had such a way on that we shot right past,! and I got a bullet in the shoulder which, however, did not prevent me from con- tinuing the chase. The Albatross then tried to escape by sinking quickly, but I flew over him, and my lieutenant got in a last volley point blank. The Albatross dipped and plunged headlong to the ground 6,000 feet beneath. We followed it with our eyes, and saw it strike the earth, crumple up like a ball, and bound along the hillside like a rabbit. W" descended in spirals. The pilot had been thrown out, and lay a few yards away. The observer lay crushed under the engine. We found papers in his pocket bearing the name of Lieut. Von Buelow, of the Imperial Guard, Ber- hn. The sight sickened me at first, but when I found ten large bombs and forty grenades on the Albatross, I was glad, for I realised that we had been the means of saving the lives of innocent victims for whom these bombs and grenades had been intended." As a reward for his feat, the French pilot was given the choice of tlio Legion of Honour or the Military Medal. He chose the latter.

Stewart, charged with being rlrunk l in charge of a motor car, was fined 40s. j t

"SPLENDID BRAVERY." I CENERAL FRENCH'S HICH PRAISE FOR I at I Hjups. HELPED TO SH.FJEH THE WAR The following precis of speeches de- livered b„v air J-oiiii k rencti to brigades 01 he 7th and ;,bth Divisions on May 21 and 22, and issued with the Lllia Army itouune Order on May 22, has been sent home by a xarmouth soltit-r: I came over to say a few words to you aila Lo tell you how much 1, as (Jom- manaer-in-Oniet of this Amy, ap^renate tire 6plenctici worK that you have an done duuiig the recent lighting. You have fougat the second baivie of Ypros, which wiu. rant among the most desperate and hardest fcgJus 01 the war. You may have tiiougiit, because you were not auaokmg the entsmy, you were not helping to shorten the war. On the contrary, by yuur splendid endurance and bravery, you have done a great deal to shorten it. Arduous and Terrific Task. In this the second battle of Ypre-s the Germans tried by every means in their power to get possession of that unfortu- nme town. They concentrated large forces of troops and artillery, and, fur- tiicr uiau Liid,, ttiey uau i-ecourse to mat mean and dastardly practice hitherto un- heard ot in civilised warfare—namely, the us** oi asphyxiating gasses iuu havE; periornied the most diffi- cult, arduous and terriho task of with- standing a stupendous bombardment by heavy artillery—probably the fiercest artillery fire ever directed against troops —and warded off the enemy's attacks with magnificent bravery. by your steadiness and devotion both the German plans were frustrated. He was unable to get possession of 1 pres-if he had dcGe chis he would probably have succeeded in pre- venting neutral Powers from intervening —and he was also unable to distract us from delivering our attack in conjunction with the French in the Arras—Armen- tieres district. What Failure Would Have Meant. Had you failed to repulse his at- tacks, and made it nece&oary for more troops to be sent to your assistance, our operations in the South might not have been able to take place, and certainly would not have been as successful as they have been. Your colours have many famous names emblazoned on them, but none will be more famous or more well deserved than that of the Second Battle of Ypru. I want you one and all to understand how thoroughly I realise and appreciate what you have done. I wish to thank you—each officer, non-commis- sioned officer, and man-for the services you have rendered by doing your duty so I magnificently, and I am sure your country will thank you too."
IGERMANS GO MAD
I GERMANS GO MAD Interned Sailor Who Relieves Himself The Kaiser. New York, Friday,Twelve sailors em- ployed aboard interned liners in New York have lately gone mad. Three be- came so violent that they have been placed in a padded room in the county jail. Dr. King, the official medical officer, describes their malady as acute melancholia," produced largely by home-sickness and absence from their native land in a time of rtress. The crews of German liners include many reservists, and they believe their homes in Germany will be confiscated be- cause of their inability to join their regi- ments. Their pay has been greatly re- duced, and complaints have been made that the ships' food is very poor. When the war began the crews had a merry time aboard, drinking lager beer and singing patriotic songs. They believed they would be able to escape from port for a certainty. But since then the big liners of the North German Lloyd and Hamburg Amerika line have been scenes of pro- found depression. The men have little to do except keep the ship in repair, and the lack of work is given as one of the reasons for the mental strain from which all suffer. Aar Reiner Koenig, a sailor in the Bar- barossa, a North German Lloyd boat, who went mad on Saturday, suffers from the ilusion that he is Kaiser Wilhelm. He went round the men's quarters with an axe asking everyone to kneel to him and declare loyalty. Finally, he was lassoed and taken to the asylum, protesting vio- lently that the war had been forced upon him by the barbarians.

I VICTIM OF PIRATES. The steamer Spennymoor, of Sundev- land, was struck by a large German sub- marine off the Start yesterday morning. Capt. George Knott, said to be a native of Gateshead, and five of the crew were drowned, 23 survivors being landed at Falmouth. The submarine ordered Captain Knott to launch the boats and then started to bombard the steamer, going about the steamer firing 20 shots at her. Later, when she was well riddled, a torepdo wa-a fired and struck her about midships, causing her to sink. Whilst one of the boats was being launched it capsized, throwing its 19 oc- cupants into the water. All clung to the boat, but one by one the captain and five men dropped off and were drowned. Two shots penetrated the engine-room and injured the chief engineer, who is now in hospital. The chief officer and several men were struck by splinters. The Shire liner Argyllshire, a five- masted steamer of 10,392 tons, has made good her escape to Havre after an ex- citing encounter with German submarine-A in the Channel.

The Argyllshire put on full speed, and the wireless operators on board sent out the S.O.S. signal for as- sistance. Torpedoes were fired, but I missed their mark, and the liner soon outdistanced her pursuers.

I _SUSFENCED, NOT ABANDONED
I SUSFENCED, NOT ABANDONED Mr. Asquith on Future of Party Politics. Mr. Asquith has addressed the follow- ing letter to Mr. J. W. Gulland, M.P., the Chief Whip under the Liberal Gov- ernment 10, Downing-street, Whitehall, S.W., 28th May. "My dear GullancL-Tlie Government of which I have been the head for more than seven years has been reconstructed on a new basis. It has hitherto been re- cruited entirely from among members of our own party. In its altered form 't contains representatives of -the regular Opposition and of the Labour party. It was my wish, which, for reasons I fully understand has not been realised, that our Irish Nationalist friends also should have participated in it. The transformation implies a tem- porary abandonment of the system of party Government which has even since 1832 dominated our political arrange- ments, and which I hold to be, under normal conditions, the best adapted to our national requirements. It is natural that such a sudden and fundamental up- heaval of our traditional practice should create astonishment, and even arouse misgiving, among a large number of those upon whose loyal devotion and strenuous efforts I, like my predecessors in the leadership of the Libeiral party for generations past, have always relied. There is one reason and one only which could justify or explain such a new de- nature a olfar and urgent case of national necessity. The Premier's Personal Pain. It was only because the conviction was forced upon me that a non-party Government would prove the most effi- cient instrument for the successful prose- cution of the war that I have taken a step which has caused me infinite per- sonal pain. I cannot, in the public in- terest, enter at present into any details, and I must ask my friends to rely for the moment upon my judgment. Mean- while, the pursuit of onr special aims in the sphere of domestic politics is not abandoned, but suspended, and when the natonal cause has been vindicated against the enemy we shall take up again the unfinished tasks to which the Liberal party has set its hand, u Yours very faithfully (signed), H. H. Asquith..I
