M. Edwards explains that the reason why greater interest is not taken in the history of Wales is that it is not correctly given. Most of it, he says, is confined to the wars immediately pre- ceding the fall of Llewelyn, the last Prince of Wales. But the fall of Llew- efyn, he adds, was not the closing chapter in the history of the Prin- cipality, but its beglnuig. George had become keen on golf, but he could not drive.

UNSPEAKABLE HORRORS. ——.—— No ————— BRUTAL BULCARS. MEN, WOMEN AND CHflBREN SUFFER: MARTYRDOM. FIRE AND SWORI. I As we predicted some time ago, the wily Turk has not failed to take & lutud in the Balkan trouble. Siazing the opportunity provided by the embroilment of the former Allies, the Ottoman army on Saturday marched towards Adrianopde. She hopes to recover Thrace, includ- ing Adrianople, and all the territory extending as far as the Kara Balkan range on the Bulgarian frontier. As to the inter-State fighting, the usual contradictions by Bulgaria of her enemies' victories are to hand. FIVE TO ONE. What Bulgaria has to MMt. Bulgaria is now confronted by the following enemies:— Creeca and Servia, with whom she provoked war by attacking them sud- denly in a quarrel over the division of the territory taken from Turkey. Montenegro, who has sent troops to Servia's aid. Reumatlia, who last week marched her army into Bulgarian territory, as she said, to preserve the balance of power in the Bafli.,auc. Turkey, who is using the present difficulties of Bulgaria to recover part of the territory lost in the earlier war. Mediation. I Meanwhile, Russia has offered her media-tion to Bulgaria, and the offer has been accepted by the Bulgarian Government. Greece and Servia, how- ever; have not yet decidea to accept this intervention, and the attitude of Rou- mania is doubtful. The Odds Against Bulgaria. I Troops.

Protest also to the en- tire civilised world, and say that, to my regret, I see myself compelled to wreck vengeance in order to inspire terror into these monsters and to make them reflect before they commit any more crimes of this sort.

I A long communique issued by the Minister of War gives details of crimes alleged to have been committed by the 13algarian troops during their flight be- fore the Greek army. Priests, old men, women and children," says the statement, suffered martyrdom after being subjected to unspeakable treat- ment. Violation and incendiarism were the order of the day. Not a single church was respected, ikons were profaned, and the savings of many people were appropriated by the Bulgarian officers and soldiers.' '-r-Reu- tar.

IPRINCES CUP. LITIGATION MAY FOLLOW, SWANSEA (REGATTA. DECISION DISPUTED. I An unfortunate dispute has arisen over the awarding of the cup presented I by His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales in the race for ketch-rigged trawlers at the recent Swansea Bay Regatta, wich is likely to have a se- quel, in the law courts. The first boat in was the Tenby traw- ler Hermes, the owner of which con- tends that it was entitled to the prize. A protest was, however, lodged against the Hermes--first. on the ground that her tonnage (22 tons), was not in ac- cordance with the conditions laid down, and secondly, that she is alleged to have carried jack-yard topsails, which constituted a further infringe- ment. I committee's Decision. I The Sailing Committee considered the protest, and they unanimously de- ciclea-a "Leader" representative learns--that under the circumstances the prize should go to the Brixham trawler Reindeer, which was second in @--a race and to which the Prince's cup was in due course presented. The owner of the Tenby boat is by no means satisfied. On his behalf the statement that jack-yard topsails were carried is emphatically denied. He con- siders that if the sailk carried were not in accordance with the conditions laid down, those on board the Hermes should have been informed, and she should have been disqualitiedat the outset. Legal Proceedings. I Steps, it is understood, are being taken to test the legality of the com- mittee's decision, it remains, how- ever, to be seen what the result of legal action may be—assuming it is taken.- in. view of the provision that the de- cision of. the committee should be ac- cepted as final.

LOST HIS SHOES. SWANSEA SWiMMEh'S UNPLEASANT PREDICAMENT. Early morning bathing may have its attractions, but there is one Swansea enthusiast who will think a little before he dips in the wee' hours again. It all happened on Saturday morning when at the early hour of four o'clock a Swansea gentleman went out into the water from the Sands, leaving his clothes on the beach. He was in the water for about a quarter of an hour, and on coming out to dress, he was astonished to find that his boots and stockings were missing. In a methodical way he searched around the spot, but with no success, and had perfoice to remain on the I beach until 8.30. There were few people who saw him walk up St. Helen's Road at that hour in stockingless feet, J and dive into the first boot shop. Information was given to the police, but up to the present the missing pro- perty have not been recovered.

BOTHA AND THE RIOTS. USE OF TROOPS. TROUBLE MOSTLY DUE TO THE HOOLIGAN ELEMENT. a ) I STRIKERS COMPlIMENTEDI I (Ri-oters Foreigm Special.) I -? Jroccnerstroom, July LJ.—speaking ID I the Losberg district to-da,y, General BefjSia,, the Premier, referred to the reso-j lutions passed in South Africa blaming j I Lord Gladstone in connection with the i employment of the military during the Rand strike. The Premier stated that he deeply re- greeted these resolutions, because they I were passed against a person who was not deserving of such criticism. Lord Gladstone was not responsible; the people who were responsible were the Government. Lord Gladstone had sent troops at the -express request of the Government, but he did not do so until circumstances necessitated such actions. I All Not Due to Strikers. I "All the happenings in Johannes- burg," added General Botha, "must not be attributed to the strikers. There was a large holligan element which was responsible for a good deui of the trouble. As a matter of fact, the strikers wore not in the majority. "We have now got peace, and I hope the men will not leave traces of the trouble by starting persecution." The Premier added that he deeply re- gretted the necessity for calling out police and military, but law and order must be maintained. He did not object to strikes, but he objected to violence. He hoped that if there was a repetition of the trouble South Africa would have I' her own defence force, and would not have to rely on Imperial troops. General Botha paid a tribute to the I genuine strikers, adding that he was sure if the mine owners acted sensibly, and tried to solve the troubles, the hap- ¡' penings of the week would not be re-! peated. ¡ 1 P.47,500 Compensation. I Johannesburg, J'uty 12.—The com- j pensation to be paid by the Government j to the Kleinfontem strike-breakers, who number about 175, amounts to £ 47y50G.

An order in a, special edition of the official "Gazette" prohibits the sale of arms and ammunition in the magisterial districts of Johannesburg, Boksburg, Germiston, and Krugersdorp. Mr. Sauer, Acting Minister of Rail- ways, has addressed a letter to the railway employes of South Africa urging them to bring forward their grievances in a temperate manner.
