z FAMOUS FRTNOHTFOOTBALLER I KILLED. Since the death of the internatioa-tl Rugby player, Maysonnie, the Stade Toulou- sain lias not recorded such a cruel loss as the one just suffered; Pierre Maltete has fallen. Apart from being a prominent Rugby player, Maltete was a crack all-round ath- lete, and in lq13 the French general athletic champion. lu that event be caused a sur- prise by beating, in the sprint, Parepteau, wbo last year won the 100 metres National championship. Maltete wis also a competi- tor in the latter event, but after winning his heat i,, 11 3-5 sec. he broke down in the semi-final at the 60 metres mark, and when leading in front of the German sprinter, lleinhardt, and the Belgian, Gustin. Maltete, who had been in the firing line since March, had been promoted from the rank of corporal -to that of sergeant-majpr. He was lulled, at the age of 21, by the ex- plosion of shell iu tho first-lino tfenehes.

TWO HOSTILE AIRSHIPS TWENTY-NINE ENGLISH VICTIMS OF ZEPPELIN BOMBS. DRIVEN OFF BY AIRCRAFT I Eenemy aircraft, have made another raid on 1 he East Coast, the second within a week, again inflicting loss of life among civilians, without apparently doing any damage of military value. The Secretary of the Admiralty made the following announcement on Friday:— Two Zeppelins visited the East Coast last night betwen 9.30 and 11.45 p.m., dropping incendiary and explosive bombs at various places, resulting in the follow- ing casualties:— Killed. Wounded. .N.t en 4 3 Women 2 11 Children — 6 23 All the above were civilians. Fourteen houses were seriously damaged. v The Zeppelins were engaged at Roli-to poin ts, but succeeded in getting away from our aircraft patrol. One of the Zeppelins was probably damaged by the mobile anti-aircraft sec- tions. NOT SUFFERING ENOUGH. I Why Hamburg Wants Frequent Raids on I England. Amsterdam, Friday.—In an article headed "England's Shamdeasness," the "Tlanibiirger -Niehrl:chtem" oays the re- cent, airship raid on England will he greeted with great satisfaction in Ger- many. The German people sincerely long for such raids to bo made as frequently as possible, with whatever results may be attainable. The reason given for this outburst is that England has not suffered enough from the war. The journal adds: Des- pite our U boats, she feels the war which, she incited far less than is appropriate and necessary. What chiefly a rouses the writer a ire is that England should be simply a spectator while her allies are suffering. Jlie article concludes, is not only abominable, it drives the blood to our heads, and makes us desire and demand a hard punishment for this frivolous and huckstering people. Therefore, it cannot ra.in bombs enough on England nor can enough of her ships be destroyed. —Press Association. Zeppelin's Return. Amsterdam,' Friday.—According to a telf-gram from Vlieland, a" Zeppelin was sighted there to-day coming from the west. It cruised northwards, then re- turned, and latei- disappeared eastwards. -Press Association. A Coincidence. It k a coincidence that the total num- ber of casualties reported is exactly the same as on tJte occasion of the last raid on Monday night and Tuesday morning. Then one man, nine women, and fo-ir children were killed, in addition to. Flight, Sub-Lieutenant Lord, who was killed on la-nding in the dark. and five men, seven v.cmen, .and two children were injured But the number of killed was much lees in this latest raid.

Dr. Porter said a post-mortem exam- ination revealed a flabby heart, with de- generation to a large artery. The stomach contained a considerable quantity of in- toxicants. Death WillS from heart failure, accelerated by alcoholism.—The verdict was death from natural causes.

FIRST LLANSAMLET MAN TO FALL. I ThB fi rst Llansamlet man to fall in -the cause of his country in this war is Pte. John Eyre Davies, of Chureh-road. The I deceased, who was only 21 years of age, joined the colours on August 10th of last year, and was a member of the Battalion Rifle Bri- gade. but originally enlisted in the fith Welsh. In a letter to the fnmily con- veying the fad news. Private JL Griffiths, Morriston, says his c-onirade fell i& a charge badly wounded, and died shortly after- wards. He was buried with as much ceremony as vireumstanc.es wouid permit, under heavy shell fire. Private Davies was a regular attendant nt Tabor (C.M.) Chapel, and was a mem- ber of the Sunday School, who presented him with a bible on the -occasion of his departure for the front. Much sympathy is felt in the parish towards the bereaved ,p,aronts.

ZEPPELIN. DEFECTS I What the German Monsters Are Capable Of. The Germans would fain persuade ) themselves that the Zeppelin, the solitary survivor of t.he rigid system of construc- tion in the lighter-than-air machines is without defect; but this muoh-boasted creation is not without patent drawbacks (says Engineering "). I Its field of operation, as the designer himself admits, is limited to an elevation of 5,000 feet, and at this moderate altitude is liable to be attacked by the nimble aeroplane. On tbf other hand, the Zeppelin can rise about 3,000 feet in three minutes, a rate far in excess of the ascensional speed of its antagonist, that climbs by a Ac- cession of spirals. Noiseless Engines. I Since the weight of equipment is a minor consideration, its engines can be heavier and made practically noiseless, an improvement that should give the huge monster a great advantage in night opera- tions. The Zepplin can hover almost station- ary over a spot for the purpose of recon- naissance, and make more exact deter- mination of the disposition of an enemy's force than can the observer in the aero- plane. At the same time, its great bulk affords a magnificent and steady target for the average gunner, who. equipped with the ingenious devices that experience has suggested, can hardly fail to hit. Against this risk must be put the advantage that tho Zeppelin, in commor. with all dirigibles of large size. can th row heaview bom bs. and charged with greater quantities of high explosives and shrapnel, than those which can be hurled from the heavier-than-air machinec. Bombs a Ton Weight. I Possibly the statement -that a Zeppelin can throw or drop a bomb a ton in weight is an exaggeration, since the detachment of such a weight would disturb the equi- librium and give to the dirigible such an upward thrust that it is doubtful if the nicely-adjusted arrangement for control- ling the movement in the vertical plane would be able to counteract the vertical acceleration. We are more disposed (concludes En- gineering") to discount this supposed ad- vantage of heavy bombs, since up to the present the damage wrought by Zeppelin aircraft has, from a* military point of view, been comparatively insignificant.

GROVESEKO PIT TRAGEDY. I The Swansea Borough Coroner (Mr. J. C. Morris), inquired on Saturday morning into the death of Thomas Hopkins, aged 45, of Hendy, Pontardulaie, repairer at the Brynillw Colliery, Grovesend, who died in Swansea Hospital following head injuries from a falling stone. Mr. J. Lewis (II.M. Inspector of Mines) was present, Mr. W. E. Morgan was for the Miners' Union, and Mr. R. A. Jones (Cly- dach), for the colliery company. Dr. Boyle said, when admitted to Swan- sea Hospital on Monday morning, Hop- kins was suffering from a compound fracture of the left side of the skull, with bruises and a wound six inches long. He died on Thursday without fully regaining consciousness. The evidence was that on Saturday, at midnight, Hopkins was putting a post in a stall to support the roof preparatory to removing another post, when, while he was on his knees, a portion of the roof, which was only about fifteen inches above him, fell on his head, pinning him to the ground. The stone was of about 100 lb. weight. The roof had seemed to he good. The Coroner regarded the accident as one of those that unavoidably happen," and the jury returned a verdict of acci- dental death.

Changeable we a" her has prevailed since drafting my lagt review-mainly dull and wet with fine bright intervale, not alto. gether favourable for the grain harvest, which, however, is making progress through the Southern and Midland Counties. All sorts of roots, after grasp, vegetables, etc., are benefitting greatly by the moisture, and live stock continue healthy and to do well. The fat stock markets are very brisk and prices fully maintained—Beef, 9d. to le.; mutton, 9d. to io. ls.; pork, 7;d. to 9d. per lb. The wool trade remains quiet and quota- tions are unchanged—Washed, 1. 5Jd. to ls. 7d.; unwashed, 1. 2d. to 113. id. jier lb. In North America, threshing of winter wheat is making headway, and the results are, on the whole, favourable; a large crop of fair average quality has- undoubtedly been secured. R-eporti of spring wheat con- tinue satisfactory, the erp having so far escaped injury by rust and frosi. It is now approaching maturity, and witli normal weather for the next five or six weeks it will he a large y i-eld of good grain. Making a flight Allowance for the ravages and interference caused by the war in Europe—a comparatively small portion of the whole continent—the cereal crops are in the main looking and progressing satis- factorily. The young wheats in Australia and Argentina continue 'to do well. but, the rainfall in India is at yet light, and not sufficient to put the land in good condition for working preparatory to seeding the new crops. Weekly shipments of wheat to Europe continue very small and much under re- quirements, and deliveries of native grain are infinitesimal, warehouse stocks being barely maintained.

Harvest is in full swing in Europe, and will soon begin for Spring wheat in North America, but weekly shipments to Europe continue very small. For the next six or seven weeks it will be weather markets, and prices will be mainly influenced accordingly. The war is being waged as fiercely as ever, but. looked at nil round, the Allies have th: whip hand,- and that they will ultimately come off victori- ous there is no doubt. FEEDING STUFF FORECAST. There is nothing fresh to note in the con- sumption of dry food, it being about nor- mal for the time of year, but prices of feed ing grain have hardened somewhat owing principally to the advance in freights. I do not expect much alteration in prices in this department either way, and therefore .ad- viM buying as required. —— i

This Company own 10 large steamers, with an aggregate tonnage of about 71,000 tons, with a total Capital, including Debentures, of £ 450,J00. Sinoe they were acquired they have appreciated very considerably in value. The financial year ended July 31st last, and Accounts are shortly due. No interim dividend has been paid, so the shares carry a full year's dividend, which we look to be anything from 10 per cent. to 15 per cent. Buyers would be entitled to œs.
