V.C. FOR INDIAN SOLDIER. I The third V.C. which has been awarded to an Indian soldier was pinned on the breast of Jemadar Alii, Dast, of the 55th (Coke's) Rifles, on. Saturday afternoon hy the King, the ceremony taking place at the Royal Pavilion, Brighton, now in use as a hospital for Indian troops. The Afndi hero (it is an irony that his name is pronounced Mere Dust ") has recovered from three bullet, wounds re- ceived in action, but is still feeble from the effects of German poison gas, and had to be wheeled in a bath chair across the lawn to his Majesty. The story of Alii- Dast's deed is told in this brief official narrative:-— For most conspicuous bravery and great ability at Ypre.s on 2tith April, 1915. when he led his platoon with great gallantry during the attack, and afterwards col- lected various parties of the regiment (when no British officers were left), and kept them under his command until the retirement was ordered. Jemadar AI i r Dast subsequently on this day displayed remarkable courage in help- ing to carry eight British and Indian officers into safety while exposed to heavy fire.

BRYN MEDICO KILLED. I Dr C. P. Warren Falls at the Dardanelles I At a meeting of the Brvn Collieries Medical Committee, Councillor R.ichard Evans, J.P., presiding, sympathetic refer- ences were made to the death of the late Dr. 'Warren, who was recently killed in action in the Dardanelles; and who, until recently, was the doctor of the Bryn Medical Committee. A vote of sympathy was passed with the relatives. By the death of Dr. Peyton Warren, the Port Talbot district loses one of its best athletes and one of its most popular medical men. He originally graduated from Dublin University, his first practice in Wales being at Tonmawr, at which place he succeeded Dr. Graig. Appointed to Bryn. Port Talbot. about fcur years ago, the gallant doctor became closely identified with the whole life of the district, and there were no hearts more sad than those at Bryn when the news of his dearth became known. In sport, the late doctor was as well known as in his profession. The- many followers of the Newport, tennis cham- pionship will perhaps now learn for the first time that P. T. Irish (a, com bina- tion of name and nationality) was the late Dr. Warren. Each year scine trophy to his prowess in sport was added to a col- lection commenced in his university days. The deceased was captain of the Port Talbot Lawn Tennis Club, a member of the Aberavon Golf Club, captain of the Bryn Rifle Club, and these and local public bodies are sending votes of sym- pathy to his bereaved parents in Ireland. For many years Dr. Warren was a lieutenant in the 6th Welsh Regiment, and in his anxiety to get to the front he transferred to various regiments, and eventually, with the l/3rd Welsh Field Ambulance, E.A.M.C., he went to the Dardanelles as medical transport officer, and within a week of his landing there his death, in the prime of life, was announced by telegram to Port. Talbot.

FERNDALE BATHERS IN I DIFFICULTIES. Two bathers from Ferndale, Mr. Wynd- ham James and Mr. A. E..Lloyd, had an exciting experience at Three Cliffs Bay last week-end. They had swum out; to a rock about forty yards away. On the return journey Mr. Lloyd, who is not an experienced swimmer, felt fatigued, and after going about ten yards declared that he could get no further. His friend essayed to keep him above water. Mr. James repeatedly called another friend, but two bathers, some 30 yards distant, apparently thinking that a lark was pro- ceeding, paid no heed to the cries. How- ever, when Mr. James shouted, For Gods sake, come here," they slowly en- deavoured to reach the struggling pair. Meanwhile the bather who had been called for in the first place had rushed into the water and helped the pair, who had hy now got back to their depth. The two bathers from Swansea took no part in the rescue, but simply accompanied the res- cued and rescuers to land. The company then walked to Blackpill.

THE BRIDGE BUILDERS. 1 ALLEGATIONS AT PONTARDAWE I COUNCIL INQUIRY. A special meeting of the Yetrad- gvnlais District Council. held to hear witnesses upon the report of Mr. J. Howells regarding the erection of Tirgof Bridge, which was reported at length in the H Herald" last week. At the meeting last week it was decided to ask Mr. Gwilym Morgan. blacksmith, of Gur- nos, to attend and explain an account which resulted in the disciualification of Councillor S. J. Thomas from sitting on the. Council. The account contained an item for £ 8 10s. for work done on the bridge by Councillor Thomas. Mr. Dd. Lewis, deputy chairman, pro- sided. Mr. Rhys Chapman asked whether the report read by Mr. Howells at the last meeting was the report of the committee or his own. Mr. Lewis Thomas explained that the report was made by Mr Howells, but it was approved by the Committee. Mr. Chapman said he asked the ques- tion in order to ascertain whether Mr. Howells had any malice against Mr. Thomas or not. Mr. Howells: Shall I answer? Mr. Lewis (chairman) I don't like that word, and I don't like these questions. Wherever he went he went for facts, and not because of personal feelings against Mr. Thomas. During the discussion, Mr. Lewis Thomas said he understood that Mr. Howells went up three times to a house in Cwmtwrch to make certain inquiries, a.nd if it was necessary for him to do so he did quite right. (Hear. hear.) Mr. D. R Morgan said this was a sorry matter altogether, but he thought the committee appointed by The Council had done their best, and if anyone was to be commended it was Mr. Howells. (Hear, hear.) If it was necessary for him to go to a house three times he did perfectly right to go there. It was the duty of the committee to go into the matter thoroughly, and he was 611re- the ratepayers had cause to bo obliged to them for their labours. Mr. Chapman said all he had to say was that people were declaring that Mr. Howells had something against Mr. Thomas. M.. Howells said he was sorry that Mr. Chapman had brought tlifr matter up in this way, because he (Mr. Howells) had spared no time in making his investiga- tions. and he wa-s able to say that the whole thing was rotten to the core." Mr. Thomas Williams, J.P.. the chair- man. now arrived, and it was decided to consider the bill sent in by Mr. G. Mor- gan, leaving out the supposed amended bill. The items for materials were gener- ally regarded as not being excessive, but the £ 11 for labour, including the claim for tg 10s. from Mr. Samuel J. Thomas was discussed at length. Mr. Watkins (surveyor) said there was no doubt that Mr. Thomas had worked hard D t the bridge. He did all sorts of work, such as plastering, masoning, &c., ft)r which they would have to pay a man lOd. per hour. Mr. Howells said they had to be atisfied the 170* hours claimed for Mr. Thomas was actually worked. Mr. Gwilym Morgan's Statement. I Mr. Gwilym Morgan, the blacksmith, was then asked into the room. He said he engaged Mr. S. J. Thomas to do the work as specified at the bridge, and fixed the rate at Is. per hour. Mr. Thomas did not know what he was going to receive. He kept an account of the time worked by Mr. Thomas in a book which he had with him. I Refusal to Show Book. I The Clerk asked Mr. Morgan to show him the book, but Mr. Morgan refused, saying that the time worked by Mr. Tho^yas was included in the account. .f.fiter ho said there were other books with entries at home. Besides, there were other entries in the book he had brought with him. The Clerk pointed out that the Council would not pry into other matters entered in the book. Mr. Morgan persisted in his refusal to show the book. The Chairman: That will not do for us, You will have to produce the ac- counts if you go to court. Mr. D. R. Morgan: I maintain that not one penny will be paid until everything is verified. Mr. Gwilym Morgan admitted that lIe booked the time as it was given to him by Mr. S. J. Thomas, from whom he usually got it at the latter's house. A Scene. I A scene then took place. in the course I of which Mr. W. D. Walters made charges against Mr. Morgan and Mr. Thomas. Mr. Walters picked up his hat and stick and left the room, stating as a representative of the ratepayers he would never be a party to the payment of the claim. Why, you won't produce what you say aro facts." he exclaimed. I cannot stand it. I am g<ting." The Council decided to withhold pay- ment until more proof was forthcoming of the work being done as claimed for I It was agreed that the committee should again meet to collect evidence from other men working on the bridge to lay before the Council at the next meeting.

FOUND HANGING AT LLANELLY. I Walking through a field on Tyisha Farm. Llanelly, on Saturday, a man named Isaac Francis, Rhedalia-terrace, noticed a man suspending from the branch of a tree by a rope. which was tied tightly around the neck. Jones, who was a. married man, left his home about 5.30 a.m. on Saturday. but did not say where be was going. He had been suffering from rheumatism for a long time., and had also complained of pains in the head. He had been unable to follow his employment as a haulier for nearly a year.

A GLORIOUS END. I ——— « ——— WENT DOWN FIGHTING. I A Russian Naval communique gays:— On August 16th the German fleet re- newed with heavy forces its attacks on our position in the entrance to the Gulf of Riga. During the day and on the following day our vessels repulsed the attacks of the enemy, whose great preparations for entry in the Gulf had been singularly favoured by m ty weather. Taking advantage of the thick fog, con- siderable enemy forces had penetrated into the Gulf of Riga. Our vessels fell back while continuing to resist the enemy, without losing touch with him. On August 19th and 20th engagements with our vessels continued. As a result the enemy suffered considerable losses amongst his torpedo craft. On our side we lost the gunboat Sivoutch, the leader, which perished gloriously in an unequal action with an enemy cruiser. The Sivoutch, wrapped in flames of fire, continued to answer shot for shot until she went down, having previously sunk an enemy torpedo boat. On August 21st the enemy evacuated the Gulf. From August 15th to 21st, two cruisers and not less than eight torpedo vessels belonging to the enemy were either put out of action or sunk. At the same time our gallant allies tor- pedoed in the Baltic one of the most powerful Dreadnoughts of the German fleet. Survivors of the Sivoutch. A later Renter's Petrograd messag" sa.^s: The number of survivors of the Sivoutch lost, in the Gulf of Riga is not yet known. It is stated that the German battleship torpedoed by the British sub- marine was one of the Moltke class. The earlier message ctai-ed:- Petrograd, Sunday, 5.20 p.m.—The President of the Duma has made tie fol- lcwing announcement;- In the Riga battle, the Germans lost- One super-dreadnought., the Moltke, Three cruisers, and Seven torpedo-boats. The German Fleet has withdrawn from Riga Bay. The Germans tried to make a descent near Pernpvin. Four barques of enormous dimensions, crammed with soldiers, took part- The descent was repulsed by the Russian troops without the co-operation of artillery, the Germans being extermin- ated and the barques cap "-ur-d.Central News. [The Moltke (22,640 tons) was built in Hamburg and completed in 1911. Her armament consisted of ten llin., twelve 5.9in. guns, twelve 3.tin. guns, and four I submerged torpedo tubes. She carried a compliment; of 1,013.1 British Submarine's Work. Fighting in and around the Gulf of Riga has proceeded since August 8th. The German Fleet, after several reverses, has penetrated into the Gulf, and important engagements have taken place since last Wednesday. It is officially reported at Petrograd that a British submarine has torpedoed a German cruiser, and that two enemy torpedo boats have also been sunk. The official report issued at Berlin on Saturday admits one of their torpedo boats was sunk, one run ashore, and one towed to port damaged. On the other ha.nd, the Russians are said to have lost one torpedo boat and two gunboats, while two other torpedo boats were seriously damaged. The Russian Baltic Fleet is not in the gulf, which is being defended by lesser war vessels and mines. The German Fleet was described in a Petrograd com- munique, issued on August 9th, as being made up of nine battleships, 12 cruisers, and a large number of destroyers. Cruiser Blown Up. Petrograd, Saturday.—The following I official communique was issued to-night: In the course of the fighting on Wed- nesday, Thursday, and Friday in the Gulf of Riga the enemy lost two torpedo boats, and a German cruiser was blown up by a British submarine.

MEMORIAL SERVICE AT CLYDACH. Eleven of Clydaeh's brave men 'have given their lives for King and Country, viz.: Archie Augustus Morgan, Trevor Bonham, Fred Lang horn, George Thomas Preston, Wilfred Moore, William Robert McLaughlin, Matthew Finch. Herbert John Grigsby. Thomas Edward Hill, Albert George Crook, and Herbert Nicholas. A memorial service was held at St. Mary's Church on Sunday evening, when the sacred edifice was crowded. Suitable hymns were sung and prayers offered, and parts of the burial service musically rendered by the choir. The Rev. W. J. E Jones, vicar of Silian. took part in the service, and the Vicar, the Rev. Thomas Morris, preached an appropriate sermon on St. John xv. 13, h Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." The members of the local Lodges of the Ancient Order cf Buffaloes attended the service as a token of respect, to the memory of four of their brothers included in the roll of honour. The local troop of Boy Scouts, in charge of Scout-niaster Palmer, was also present. Several local men in khaki were in the congregation, and amongst them Sergt. Ley, who is liome on a short leave to at- tend his mother's funeral. Sergt. Ley was on the spot, and rendered gallant ser- vice when three men of the 6th Welsh were killed in action the week before last. At the close of the service the Vicar read out the roll of honour. Mr. Rees Williams played the "Dead March," after which the Scout buglers gave the "Last Post," and a most im- pressive service ended with the singing of the National Anthem. The singing of the choir, under the conductorship of Mr David Rees, A.R.C.M., was very impres- sive.

POPULAR SWANSEA FOOTBALLER. I An interesting ceremony took place at the Globe Inn. Wells, Somerset, last week, when Sergt. Langley and Mrs. Langley were the guests at the reception given by the officers, AT.C.O.'s and men of No. 1 Section, of the 260th Company, of the A.S.C. Sergt. Langley, whose home is at 16, Wem-terrace, Swansea, was formerly a non-commissioned officer in the 1st Mounted Division Supply Column, A.S.C. (T.). At that timo the Corps was stationed at Bury St. Edmunds, whence he was transferred into the 26th Com- pany A.S.C. (Military Transport), and later to Wells. Sergt. Langley through- out his military career has distinguished himself by his earnestness, and was popular with both the officers and men of his section. Thus, when the news of Sergt. Langley's approaching marriage reached the Company, the men thought it I a fitting time to testify to his popularity by subscribing for a wedding present. The present, took the form of a silver tea service, and the presentation was the ob- ject of the gathering on Monday. The marriage of Sergt. Langley (whose bride was Miss Eva Lillian Lloyd, also of Swansea), took place at Danygraig Chapel. Swansea, a short time ago. Several officers were present at the gathering to support Lieut. Burton, who made the presentation. In the course of his address, Lieut. Burton said he had known Sergt. Langley for some time. and he had always been an efficient and capable N.C.O. Jn ihe name of the corps lie made the presentation, and wished Sergt. and Mrs. Langley every happiness. Lieut. Burton also presented Sergt. and Mrs. Langley with a Wedge- lIood cheese dish and a dressing table set, from the sergeants' mess, a framed picture of No. 1 Section, given by the section, and a biscuit, barrel from M. S. S. Tustian. Captain Glover (O.C.) and Lieut. Cooper also spoke. Sergt. Langley, who enlisted at the out- break of war. will be remembered as an excellent footballer. He played for several of the junior league teams of the district.
