I AGARMAHEt WILL I
I AGARMAHEt WILL I — ■ —. Curious Story of Minister. made Will. In the Probate Court to-day, an applica- tion was made to Mr. Justice Deane in reference to the ostate of tho late Rachel Beynon, who had resided at Ash- field-row, Llansadwrn, Carmarthen. Mr. D. Cotespreedy, counsel in the case, said he had to make, on behalf of the relations, an application that the Rev. WiHiam Llewellyn Davies, a Calvinistic Methodist Minister, might be ordered to produce and bring into the registry a will dated 1914 prepared hy him for Rachel Beynon, who resided at Llansadwrn. She was a widow, and she left as nrxt-of-kin James Rees and John Knight Hops. Mr. Vylliam Llewellyn Davies said he made this will, and that it was not now in existence and he refused to give any in- formation, his reason being that Mrs. Mary Moses, a beneficiary, was a member of his congregation. His Lordship ordered that Mr. Davios should attend before him to be examined in reference to the matter a fortnight hence.
I" JOHN BULL" TO PAY £ 1,500
I" JOHN BULL" TO PAY £ 1,500 ———-— ,————- If Liebig's Co. and a Nationality I Allegation. Before the Lord Chief Justice and a speeial jury in the King's Bench Division to-day, Liebig's Extract of Meat Comp- any, Limited, were awarded £ ),5ft0 dam- ages against "John Bull," Ltd., and Messrs. Odbaras, Ltd., printer? of "Jotni Bull," for libel. Mr. Tindal. Atkinson for plaintiffs, said I hey were, a British company, supported by British capital. 'they had never had the slightest con- nection with the German Government since the war commenced, and had had ik. contrad with them since then. It was an intolerable insult and wrong that any- one should sugpst any connection with the German Government. Notwithstanding this, in "John Bull" for March 27th last. there appeared an article wh*ch in effect charged the plain- tiffs with high treason, namely trading with the enemy. It occurred in this way. In the window of a Croydon newspaper office wa-s shown a number of war ex- hibits, including a case called an "emer- ger:(7 ration." This contained a tin of Liebig's Extract of Meat. A gentleman, called a commissoiner for "John Bull," called and saw this, and at onee said it was supplied by a German firm. The case, however, Jw- longed to Sergeant Laws, whoso mother had lent it for exhibition. Counsel read the article complained of which referred lo the exhibits.

-== -7:7. I HAPPY INDusTRIACsCHOOl I I Chief Inspector Sends a Com- I piirnantary Report. I Swansea School Attendance and Indus- trial School Sub-committee met on Mon- day afternoon, Mr. W. J. Powiesland pre- siding. Before the commit lee was the annual l report of the Chief Inspector of IWonna- tory and Industrial Schools (Mr. Charles E. B. Itilcsell), which recorded many improvements in the pre- mises during the year. The improve- ment of I)CActi<If manual work, ar.d ?h? inauguration of a troop of Boy ?Louts was a mot commendable new feature, and likely to be of con- siderable value to the hoy themselves, an WflU as helping to raise the ?nera l tone of the school. The boys generally con- ducted themselves very well. It was very satisfactory to note the readiness of the managers to meet, suggestions, nearly all the recommendations in the last report had been carried out. The boys were evi- dently handled in a sensible manner, While discipline was maintained, it was not of the rigid type, and very liappy re- lations appeared to exist between the officers and the boys, the result being that the latter were natural in their manners tnd free from all traces of sullenness or discontent. As far as known, there were 80 old boys with the colours, one of whom had won the V.C. J t. was rejxirted that arrangements had been made for the camp holiday in Gower. It was suggested by the Superintendent that metal work should displace tailoring, and the Superintendent was instructed to report. The Superintendent was con- gratulated on the report.

MAGNIFICENT DASH -
MAGNIFICENT DASH HOW THE BRITISH WESTED TRENCHES FROM THE TURKS. FIVE LINES CAPTURED (Continued from Page 1). At 10.30 our field artillery opened fire. Their special target was tlic harbed wire :n front of the enemy's trenches. They we-re completely euccessiul. Gaps were tat throxiga the v/ire in all parts of the line, as the speed with which the infantry itttack wac carried to a victorious conclu- sion howed. In the bottom of (hc. inuilur British and Turkish, outposts met, a i (,IN- yards apart, with barbed wire barricades and sandbags between th(-ll. Gn the ¡-ight side, that is looking up j he nnllah, lies tII44 Boomerang Tort, or Boomerang Trench. The Boomerang er.hladixl all at- tempts to advance up or along side of the ravine, and had been the scene of many bomb attacks, which resulted in the cap- tare of the Turkish trenches by our men, who were now so close to the Boomerang itself that they had only to lca]) over their own parapets, cross a few yards of ground all(I jullill into it. Dangsr of the Enterprise. heedless to say, it was courting death to -how one's head above the parapet. The danger of the enterprise could not be esti- mated by the distance. The tack of cap- turing the Boomerang wa-s assigned to a famous regiment, which has an un- broken record of splendid service since the day of IkLnitiligin the Peninsula. At 10.15, after a preliminary pounding of the Boomeran^*by high explosive shell and by a French trench mortar throw- ing very powerful bombs, the order was Kiven to advance. The men wore waiting o.roui-hetl under the parapets, with their riHes at the ready. All were on rinsed platforms or on ladders, so that they could got over the parapet in a single bound. The Main Attack. The main attack was launched at 11 o'clock, when the artillery, extending thir rRn(7o, three battalions rushed the tirst three lines of Turkish trenchos on tli,31 plateau between the cliff aud the sea, which were carried in brilliant fashion, the men tearing through the gaps made by our field artillery in the wire. The first < '.vo trenches were very closc- together, and small opposition was encountered. The trenches were full of Turkish dead, and, about ](\0 survivors surrendered. On the right of I he Mullah two battalions delivered a splendid at- tack simultaneously, capturing two lines t rwK'hes and some prisoners. Furl her to the right, and in front of Krithia. our j a' tadb-. encount ered very severe opposi- tion. aivl practically no headway was made. The real objective, however, "as the ground on the left of the Mullah. At. 1).:j0 a.m. an advance made over the lines of trenches alreadv cap- <!»ml ,and our men t/>ok two more lines of Turkish, trench". This, for the on- lookers, was the riio-t. spectacular moment of the day. The;^ two lines oi trenches were separated from the fw-pt. two by several hundrod yards of open ground. Our laeii could be seen, the pun shining on their bayonets, advancing jp ma^nifi- style, as if no enemy were near t hen. The whole operation was carried out in from half an hour to an hour. The PIH'my were fairly on the run. and could be s'?'n troni (1; slap* lnuricdly retiring. In the afternoon our troops were engaged in I)t-at- I ing off the enemy's counter-attacks. The. j Turkish artillery was very active, but! was outmatched by ours. which, moving J ts range up as our troops advanced, kept a line of shells bursting on the enemy's receding; front all day. --==--
RECORD IN SPENDING I
RECORD IN SPENDING Swansea's Crowds Rush to I Sales for Bargains. I A wave of spending spread over allii Swansea on Friday and Saturday, and indulgence in summer sale bargaining almost universiliy prevailed. Ah,oi'i.(-I.v ce. t'lle e-s- 'I titbli?hju.?nt cf the husia?s/' said Mr. J*>wis, of Messrs. Ben Evans'. Wei opened at 10 o'clock on Friday, and, at 10.H> (to be preci) the doors had to 1,-? closed. Tt?re w?re well over 2.(K?O people irgide. I. vo never seen anything like it, I except at Wliiteky's. We were just its! bupy up to 4 o'clock, th-en we had a fpiiet j half-hour; then again wore tremendously- busy till 8 o'clock. On .Saturday thei crowds were just as great all through the dey, and up till 8 o'clock, making a i> cord for the business. "t?i?g ??r?h?nd?I. my !?iiff has ?-crk?t splendidly. I want to &/y that; it wa? very gratfiyiug to me, knowing that I had so many r;llo'.n; in khaki." I I've never known aDythi?g Hk? it, said Mr. Brook6, the general manager n?' Mr. William Edwards'. "As a matter of fact, we couldn't serve them on Saturday. We were simply crowded out right tip to our arcade. We thought of closing the doors several times, but didn't do it. I could have given full employment to another 50 hands. U Gloves were a leading feature; we must have sold some thousands of pairs. We never had such a run on gloves in our lives. We couldn't cope with it. And in summer trifles, such as neck-wear, we never had such a day. Blouses especially; we never sold so many blouses in one day, on independent staff attending to them. A number of parcels absolutely couldn't be delivered on Saturday night, and we fcave had to get up with them to-day.

All ACTRESS'S PETITION. I
All ACTRESS'S PETITION. I In the Divorce Court to-day, Mr. Jus-I tice Horridge granted Mrs. Ethel Maud Waller, an actress, a decree nisi against Mr. Edmund Waller, also in the theatri- cal profusion, on the ground of his deser- tion and adultery. The catle was un- defended. Counsel said the desertion was non- compliance with a decree for restitution of oonjugal rights granted by Mr. J usl ice Bargrave Deane in July last, year. With regard to the adultery, counsel said it appeared that the husband stayed at an hotel at Boulogne with a lady from July 18th to 2Qtk. Petitioner said it was after her return from an Australian tour that her hus- hand declined to live with her. Counsel read the evidence of a witness to prove that re-spondent and a lady stayed at Boulogne together.
