Aftet watching them intently for a few minutes I saw four white flashes in quick succession from the most easterly object, which was immediately answered by three slower flashes from the other. I also distinctly heard th-ree sharp signals, apparently from a bell, answered by two more. The objects appeared to approach each other, and then disap- peared, travelling away from my observation at a considerable speed." EITHER FRENCH OR GERMAN Hon. C. S. Rolls Does Not Deem it a Hoax The Hon. C. S. Rolls, the well-known aeronaut and motorist and founder of the Aero Olub, interviewed on Thursday on his impressions of the airship seen in South Wales, said, "The whole thing is a mystery. There ie either no airship at all or else it is a foreign one. At Ca,rdiff there bas been a dirigible balloon built, but it has been stated that it could not be the one. That being the ease, I could not see how it oould be an English machine. If this had been the case, as some people suggest, we would have been bound to have heard of it before, because a dirigible balloon requires a very large shed for building, and could never have been filled without it becoming linown very quickly. I see nothing impossible in a German air- ship coming across, because the new airships I of the German Army have a rang-e of 8û0 miles. The French have also which are capable of doing such distances; but I do not think there is any machine in Eng- Land which'is capable of doing such a dis- tance, and no other Powers have. Therefore, it mitet either be French or German pro- perty. Do you think it is a hoax altogether?'' No, I don't see how it can be. So many people in the Eastern counties have seen it." "Do you attach any importance to the articles found on the ground at Caerphilly at the spot where the airship is stated to bave been seen?" No, I don't think they had anything to do with it." You have &een it etated that this airship was eeen at Southend at dus.k, Pontypool at ten p.m., and Norwich at midnight. Do you I think that credible?" "No; it could not have done suoh a dis- tance in tihe time." Uses of Advertisement INTERESTING INTERVIEW IN THE CLERKENWELL-ROAD. A "Morning Leader" representative found himself last evening in the Clerkenwell-road, London, E.C., with a clear sky overhead un- dimmed and unencumbered by airships (at present), and knocking at the mahogany door of the sanctum sanctorum of the advertise- ment manager of the Continental Tyio Com- pany. A guttural voice-unmistakably German- said, Come in." Entering, somewhat timidly; our corre- spondent found himself in the presence of two young men with alert eyes and laughter- wrinkles in their cheeks. One of them was Mr. Paul Brodtman, the managing director of the company. In reply to a series of questions, Mr. Brodtman spoke Land please note it] in guttural tones. I Aerial Advertisements "We were among tbe first," he said, "to study the interesting art of aerial advertise- ment, with big toy balloons, little toy bal- loons, and aii-ships—toy airships. Look arotrd, and you may see for yourself." Can you make them to whizz?" Gortainly-and whirr," was the r,&ply. And now may I ask what you are driving at?" England-our England-ir- very much per- turbed at the present moment," said the Morning Leader representative, at the presence of nocturnal aerial spies which whizz and whirl, and I thoug-ht possibly tha-t you, with your supreme knowledge of thcise things, mig-ht be ablp to throw some light- some searchlight—upon the mystery. Chicken- hearted people are saying all over the country that Germany has got us in a cleft stick. Mr. Brodtman's eyee twinkled. "Yes," he said, gutturally, "it is very amusing. I have just returned from Ca "Ahem!" interrupted the other young gen- tleman, who up to this time had not epoken a word. I "Spies "From Coventry," went on Mr. Brodtman, and in my oarriaje were three gentlemen- Englishmen (you could tell that from their liquid Ts')-and they were discussing these airships; ajMl they all seriously believed that they were German spies. I bid my face behind my newspaper and laughed; for I knew-" "Ahem!" said the other gentleman once again, and then walked away, and left the room, taking with him a heavy fur coat that had been hanging (unobserved) on a peg near the door. "Talking about airships," oon-tin-ned Mr. Brodtman, in a guttural tone, "I may say we have some very pretty models—cigar- fchaped and several feet long—upstairs." "Can they fly?" asked the pressman. Yes, if they are-" "TOIWed at the end of a line, with the other end fixed to a fast motor-car?" Quite so." You are very fond of motoring, Mr. Brodtman; you possess a fast car ?" A ripper," smiled the manager. "She can go." I Would Whizz And when the envelope is filled with oxygen (say), and the airship is in tow of a car which is a ripper and can go, the pro- pellor would whizz as the ship sped through the stilly night?" Of course—naturally. And scare Punch and Judy show pro- prietors on the way home across the Weigh mountains, particularly if two fur-coated gentlemen were talking at the same time in guttural tone's?" "Tha.-t would depend upon the state of nerves of the Punch and Judy man," said Mr. Brodtman. And now I must really a.sk you to excuse me, as I have to catch the train to Liverpool. I really cannot say any more-åt present. Indeed, I know nothing." I Army Dirigible Babv The Army dirigible baby" was brought out this morning at Alderwhot and mad-e a series of ascents, travelling at varying speeds over Farnborouglh Common for short periods, under the direction of Colonel Capper awd Captain King. The flights were made at several different altitudes, ranging from two hundred to one thousand feet.
IA ____Welsh Party?
I A Welsh Party? I REVOLT AGAINST GOVERNMENT The Lobby correspondent of the London" "Daily News" writes:—The Welsh members -have reason to apprehend that, owing to the prolonged nature and the discussions on the Budget. no time will be available this session even for the second reading of the measure introduced by the Prime Min-ister for the Disestablishment of the Welsh Church. There is naturally muoh soreness amongst the members of the Principality at such a prospect, and they will urge that in such circumstances no attempt should be made to deal with any other 'controversial measure, such as the Irish Land Bill. A suggestion has been made that the Welsh members should form themselves into an independent party, with their own Whips and othar officers, and it is probable tha,t before the close of this Parliament something of that kind will be done.

This was the descrip- tion given to the Newport Court to-day by Mr. Lyndon Cooper, prosecuting on behalf of the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children John Brian Rogers, Fa iroak-a venue, a gardener, who was charged with neglecting his foiir children. Mr. Cooper (continuing) said that during the time he was working under the distress committee, earning ?El 3s. 1M. a wp?k. he 'impo1 upon the Bev. T. B. HoweIIs. and got 15s., saying he wanted it for assisting the? wives and <Jnldr>en of the unemployed—a plea that was entirely untrue. During the nine weeks he worked under the distress committee he earned £ 10 15s., of which he only gave his wife jE5, and iii4B had to pay 7s. 6d. per week rent. )1a.ry Ann Rogers, the wife, said they had been married thirteen years. She had been obliged to go cut charring- in order to keep the home together. Prisoner wa.s a drunken, lazy man, and had lost his work on several occasions by his drunken habits. On one occasion in Fabruary he brought home a steak for his dinner, while his wife and children only had ry bread. Inspector Sparks said he had warned the prisoner repeatedly. He had reminded him of the fact that he would have to work and maimtain his eh, 3nd prisoner replied, You will not make me work, because I am ?lto-o pi?-hc?ded to be driven to work." Prisoner said that before he surrendered himself that morning he went to the Catholic Church and signed the pledge, and he intended to turn over a new leaf if the magistrates would only give him one more chance. Superintendent Brooks said prisoner tele- phoned to him from Cwm on Thursday and asked him to send up for him. The superin- ten dent, then asked him how be got up there, and, on getting the reply tha.t he walked, told him to walk back again. (Laughter.)

I Milk for the Infirmary
I Milk for the Infirmary I INTERESTING CARDIFF CASE Antnro de Luoovich. a well-known Car- difiian, was a defendant in the police-court at Cardiff to-day on two summonses for sell- ing milk deficient in milk fat to the, extent of 13 per cent, and 10.7 per cent, respectively. lioIr, F. W. Ensor prosecuted, and ltlr, G. F. Fcrr.dike defended. Vi-. I^eonard D. Rea, secretary of the Cardiff Infirmary, was present. Mr. Ensor said the defendant was under a contract to supply milk to the infirmary. Among other things it provided that only the milk of cows subjected to medical inspec- tion should be supplied, the udders she-aid he washed, and the churns should be kept locked after the milk was put in, and kept so until it reached the infirmary. Inspector M'Gregor M'G-regor detailed the circumstances under which he took the samples. Two churns were taken from a cart by a man to the dairy of the infirmary. neb. were locked, and witness asked the porte* at the infirmary to unlock the n, which he did. The man said he was ortjdoyed hy M r. Lucavich. Mr. Forsdike: You know from your own experience that there are certain periods in the year when you can't get milk with the required quantity of fat?—One cow, but not a herd. You have been to a farm and s "n a cow milked, and that milk was deficient in fat?- Yes, about two years ago. MT, Fore-dike, who admitted the contract and anlysis, then addressed his worship. ge said he would call the five persons concerned with the milking, which took place at 4.30 on the morning the sample was taken, and they would say that the milk was locked in the churns, and was not tampered with. The milk had to be driven six miles, and, in order to comply with the contract, they could not milk after a certain time. The morning milk was thus not up to the same standard of faL as the afternoon milk. To still further show how inilli varied, Mrs. Forsdike gave the result of a private analysis, which was in defendant's favour. Defendant then gave evidence, and described the feeding of his herd of cows, amd eaid that the keys to lock and unlock the churns were only in the possession! of Mr. Thomas (the head bajliff) and someone at the infirmary. I The case was adjourned until next week.
I _DROWNED AT FISHGUARD.
I DROWNED AT FISHGUARD. An inquest was held at the new Lifeboat House, Fishguard Harbour, on the body of Gwynne Martin, sailor, of Lianychaer Bridge, 43 years of age, who mysteriously disappeared from Lower Town a month ago. Enoch Evans, licensee of the Sailore' Arms, Lower Town, said that at 10.15 p.m. on the 21st ult. deceased came to inquire if Captain Phil- lips were on the premises. Ho was not, and deceased left. He was slightly the worse for drink. Thomas Henry Evans, harbour master, Lower Town, said the deceased was second hand on the Margaret and Ann. The rowing boat lay the night alongside the slip, the Margaret and Ann being about 150 yards distant. He surmised that the deceased got into the boat, but being under the influence of drink, could not control it, and fell over- board. John James, seaman, of Lower Fish- guard, said he discovered the boat drifting near the lifeboat slip, and also the body float- ing near the iaine spot. The jury returned a verdict of "Found drowned."

WELSH CQtfL CRISIS!
WELSH CQtfL CRISIS! Peace in the Balance. SERIOUS ISSUES INVOLVED. Not since the revision of the last wage agreement ha-s the Welsh Coal Trade Con- ciliation Board been confronted with so difficult and grave a situation as that which it had to faoe to-day at the meeting h e Enginee7,s' Inf4ti- specially convened at the Engineers' Insti- tute, Cardiff, to endeavour to arrive at a settlement of the vexed issues which had been raised oonuent upon the operation of the Miners' Eight Hours Act from the let of July next. The joint sub-committee appointed to deal with the matter did not go further t-han diseuss ai d formulate the divergent views for presentment at to-day's board meeting, aid the task allotted to the board, there- fore, was that of sifting and reconciling these conflicting elements— a task whieh 00111 sides, notwithstandinig- the prevalence of a generally optimistic feeimg, realised to be on3 which would require the utmost patience and tielioaoy to soive, In conformity with the arrangements made, the t,' 0 sides devoted the morning to priva-fo ooiMjalta-tione lor the purpose of enabling their respective rej>le«ent>a>tives Oil the ?ub-?XMnmitt?e to Mubmit their reports and confer with th<;m uron the situation in the lig-b.t of the lengthy delib&rationa in Car- diff and London. Jt was felt that there were two or three demands put forward hy the employers which would have to be withdrawn ere a working agreement could be come to. In the first, place, the modi's representatives were still bound by the resolution pas&ed by the National Miners' Conference, which, of oourse, meant that they were not in a posi- tion for one moment to either accede to the demand for a reduction in the wages of the daymen, or consent to the owners' propo?»al to work one holtr ext-ra per week so as to absorb 52 out of the 60 additional hours in the year allowed by the Act. In much the same category was felt to be the suggested abolition of the bonus turn for naghtmen, which the men's representatives regarded as being taii,tamount to a reduotion of wages. The attitude of the man's leaders on these points was I Absolutely Firm, I and these, it was felt, would have to be I waived by the owners, otherwise an impasse would re reached before to-day's proceedings were over. On the other several issues, whdoh are more or less controversial, there wa,s an expressed desire to be conciliatory, and it was felt that the difficulty incident to these was by no means imsurmoumtable, and the result of the meeting of the joint. board, which was fixed to take place at two o'clock in the afternoon, was awaited with the keenest interest, as upon the decision ultimately arrived at depended almost entirely the con- tinued maintenance of peace in the Welsh coatneld, which has now hung in the baLanos for ,?o considerable a time. Mr. F. L. Davis presided over the owners' side, and -Al,r. W. Abraham (Mabon), M.P., over the workmen, and there was a. repre- sentative attendance of both sides of the bead. When the adjournment took place at 1.20 it was anticipated that on the resumption an hour later the two sddas would come together, but insufficient progress had been made to enable the workmen's representatives to meet the owners with a progra.mme of definite issues. They had not completed their con- sideration of the sub-committee's report, and it was more or leas ominous that a section had shown open host,ility to some of the recommendations of their oolleagues on the sub-comrnimee. TbeiTe is a see-tion of the workmen's representatives who have yet, to shed a predilection for a- rupture if their demands are not almost all conceded. I The Morning Proceedings Though no official repenrt was given to the prese, it was understood that t,he proceed- illigis in the morning bad been entirely con- fined to the consideration of the sub-com- mittee's report. Among the points dealt with was the ques- I tion of a suggested reversion to a modified double shift, whereby differxint sections oould ibe worked so as to admit of continuous wind- ing without resort to the old system, which used to ocoasion so much t rouble in the Welsh coalfield and gave opportunities for what are termed Fpongera to tilie undue advan- tage of their fellow-workmen, as would be the case if the sanio places were not re- served for the same. It is understood that, subject to oeu'tain i^eservatione, the sub-oom- mittee were inclined to accede to this pro- posal of the employers, particularly in view of t,he fact that the General Federation would raise no objection to its adoption. Another proposal which has been dealt with, and whioh probably has given riM to some diversity of opinion among some of the workmen's representatives, is that to modify the present arrangements with regard to the meal hour, with a view of economising time. Analogous to this proposition was also the proposed abolition of the old time-honoured custom for t,he stoppage of work at the collieries concerned on the occasion of fatal accidents and on the day of the funeral of the victims. The owners ontend that, in view of the fact that the men will now be prohibited by la-w from working on to recoup for time lost in this way, the custom should no longer be observed. There was apparently a, disposition on the part of some of the men's leaders to agree to certain concessions being made in the direction indicated with the view to the 'utilisation of all the time available, but, on the other hand, there was aleo extant a feeling thfit it would be rat-lier difficult to put, a. stop to a custom whose, sole obje0t had always been to enable the comrades of the victim of a fatal accident to expxe&s in WJlis way their practical sympathy. These aire some of the points, which, it is under- stood, gave rise to a. divergence of views, and which occasioned the private delibera- tions thy ao protracted.
IThe T aff-Bute Bill.
I The T aff-Bute Bill. The Taff Fusion Bill was again before TJOrd Camperdown's Committee of the House of Lords to-day. At the outset Mr. Balfour Browne, K.O., for the promoters, read a statement explaining how mixing coal was carried out at Cardiff Docks. On Thursday there was some dis- pute upon the explanation given in his evi- dence by Mr. Harland, of the Taff Vale Rail- way, and the Chairman asked for further in- formation. An agreement upon the details was arrived at after a short discussion. Mr. Thornley, manager of Messrs. Wilson and Sons, coal exporters, opposed the Bill upon the question of maintaining competi- tion. Mr. Joseph Da vies, secretary of the Coal- owners' Association, said that there wae no reason why the Bute Docks, with its enor- mous revenue, should ask Lord Bute for another halfpenny. The necessary money could be obtained from the public, or Lord Bute oould sell the docks. (Proceeding.

New pcTrt Thursday. l'a.nteg battid first, declaring with a total of 208 for eight wicketE (Butler 89, Williams 72, no. out). Newport made 207 for seven (the Rev. A. S. lt.icha.rds 62, H. Richards 49 not out, T. Blandford 44). The total at the fall of Newport's sixtll wicket wa6 180, and the beard was not changed again, so that the hahmen bad no idea of their close proximity to the Pantog total, and took matters fairly easily. When time was called, however, they found themselves only one run short, which with a little exertion might josily have been secured. The match thus remained a draw.

Watkins, the two Cardiff recruits, will be given another trial, and those who know their abilities are confident of their success. Any how, there is every in- dication of a keen and exciting strus-gle for supremacy and exery promise of 'an interest- ing afternoon's cricket. The teams will be;- Cardiff: A.

Provision is also made in the Bill for the punishment of anyone making- a fa.Lse representation to any ex- ohiam.ge officer for the purpose of obtaining employment or procuring workpeople.
THE CRAFT OF WAR. I
THE CRAFT OF WAR. I The Territorial Army was created osten- sibly to repel invasion, a, task hitherto accepted by the Navy. How the Territorial Army ilg to prevent invasion is incomprehen- sible to me, since their tra,ining for war begins only after war breaks out, probably by the landing of several expeditionary forces in Bast Anglia and in Scotland. The ranks of the Territorial Army are filled with, intelligemt and high-spirited Englishmen, but valour and patriotism in theee days of scientific warfare are no more a substitute for training in the ea-aft of war than in the craft of ciloket.-Arnold White in "Black and White."
