ZEPPELIN RAID. I I TYNESIDE VISITED BY AIRCRAFT BOMBS DROPPED ON NORTHUMBERLAND I SEAPOBTS. TRAINS NARROW ESCAPE The first, real attempt at a. Zeppelin raid for military purposes on the United Kingdom appears to have been made last night, and the, vague reports up to the present would indicate that; the attempt was a failure. As will be remembered, reports appeared in the "Cambria Daily Leader" yesterday that, a Zeppelin had i-en vseen, first off the ojaast of Holland, and later in the North Hoa. SIGHTED BY A PILOT. Absence of Alarm or Excitement. The Tress Association's Newcastle corre- spondent telegraphing this morning, said that the Zeppelin wa sighted by a. ?- if r- ?. -Thted by a? p.ilot off tie ecast at Blyth. The air- ship sailed slowly over the latter tof'u? and then, accelerating its speed, pro c?ed?d in a, so nth-westerly direction to-I warns Nevcaatic- It did not. however, iouch that nily. As soon as the airship was --i £ ,ht«d ail lights were extinguished, and south-east Northumberland was in total darkness. After leaving Blyth the Zeppelin ap- pears to have gone first in a westerly direction, following the River Blyth. "n reaching the Choppingi;on district eight or a dozen bombs were dropped, hut ap- j parently very little damage was done.1 and only one man is reported to be slightly hurr. j Turning southward from Choppington, the airship passed over several villages I from which there are, reports of loud ex- plosions. At Cramlington some housef wsre shaken by the explosions, b'lt liD one was hurt. At Seaton Burr, about six Inile from Newcastle, two bombs were thrown, one of which exploded in the air, the other reaching the ground, smashing On the North-road another bomb was dropped at a well-known landmark called Seven-mile House," half-way between Morpeth and Newcastle. A House Wrecked. From Seaton Burr the Zeppelin turned a little to the eastward, and about nine o'clock appeared over Wallsend. At this town it is reported five bombs fell, but. only one appears to have caused material1 damøGe. This projectile struck the i-cof ot1 h bouse in Station-road, and beside-A smashing the roof, knocked down the! ceiling in a room below. Some debris f>H on a woman, but she was not injured, l'wo bombs alighted harmlessly on Berk- ley's Farm; ateo at Walleend. From this point the Zeppelin disap- peared, apparently having gone seaward. There ras no excitement a.nywhere, but owing to the extinguishing of the lights, especially in Newcastle, everything for the time being caJlJC to a standstill. The railway stations were temporarily closed :o avoid mishaps :n the enforced darkness. Electric Current Cut Off, In Newcastle the tram cars suddenly ceased to move, as the current had been cut off, but the people took all very calmly. By eleven o'clock things had re- sumed thpir normal appearance. There are no reports of serious injury to anyone, and the raid appears to have been particularly barren of results. u Foreman Fitter's Experience. Mr. I nomas Carr. who is a foreman fitter at Messrs. Swan and Hunters' works at Wallsend, said, in course of an interview: "1 was leaving work at 8.30, and was hall-way up the bank towards the railway when I heard a noise. At, first. I thought it was a tram car, but it had a curious sound. When I got. a little further on I heard a crack, and instantly a flame about twenty > aids long sprang up as near as I couid tell beside the nidge three hundred yards east of Walls- end Station. The craft, judging by the noise, appeared to be going towards New- castle, but it suddenly took a turn to. wards the rivet, and ten seconds or so after the lirst crack there was a heavier one. Where, it was I don't know; but it was not far away from the power feta- tion." Ten Explosions. I Mr. James J. Henderson, a. commercial traveller, who was at Choppington, said: "At about 8.15 I heard someone shout that there, was a Zeppelin. I was talking to Dr. Lee, whose surgery is next to the King's Head, and wo rushed into a yard and could hear the engine, going. How high the Zeppelin was flying I could not say, but you could easily make it out agwrinst the zlia. There were no lights showing from the airship. A t 8.22 there was a flash, and lightning was not in it., I proceeded to- wards the station, and by tho time I got there at 8.27 there had been eight cracks. Whilst waiting for the train I heard two more, making ten in all. The last one was at 8.29, and it was somewhere between Choppington Colliery and the railway line, but one could not; say posi- tively. Although there were altogether ten cracks, as I lmve descril>ed, I saw 13 lfashes, and that led me to assume that thp flashes indicated the discharge of a missile. With my stop-watch I timed the, period between flash and crack, and found it always practically 15 seconds, and it struck me as extraordinary that, a roisoile should take that length of time to reach the ground- The G-ermans may, of course, have been discharging time-fuse shells. While on the stahon platform I saw a blaze a little way down tho line. T'hi.s may have come fiom the farm building or haystack." Previous Zeppelin Raid. I The firs<t Zeppelin raid on England was carried out by tb roe airships on Jan.ua.rv 20th. Bom bs were dropped on Ya j-mouifch, Beeston .Sherd ngh a m, II eachaan, Snettis-ham, Dersinghain, King's a.nd Grimston. Two women, one boy, and a man were killed, and a ba.by and 31 adults were injured. Thousands of pounds'' worth of damage was done to I property. Another Zeppelin Brought Down. I Ilofbterdjun, Wednesday.—Karly :veste.r-! day morning a Zeppelin ?ur?'eying thel gun pdsitio near Ypres was heavily shelled by tho AH?M and damaged. The a.?rship drifted a?ay. bat descended at i Thielt, a complete wreck.

TWO-THIRDS BUTTER FAT CONE Second Summons Against j Kidwelly Farmer. Evan Williams, Morfa Fach, Kidwelly, was proceeded against at the Llanellv Folice Court on Wednesday for au offence under the Fo-sd and Dnigs Act. ill-. J. Lewis Phillips appeared for the defendant, who pleaded guilty. Inspector John Jones said that he took a s?m?lp. of milk from defendant's can at the Great Western Railway Station. The can was in process of delivery to Mrs. Harriet Jouez, Hansel-street,, and witness thoroughly n'ixed the milk before taking the sample. He produced the certificate of the analyst, which showed that the sample was deficient in butter fat to the extent of 61 per cent., the percentage of added water being five. In reply to Mr. riiiliips, witness said there was a previous summons for a similar offence, which was not served before the present summons was issued. -Mrs. Harnet Jones, Mansel-strect, said she saw Inspector Jones taking a sample of milk from the ran. Defendant had agreed to supply her with iredi milk Defendant wiihe "frrl the cows on straw, bay, turnips, and mangc.!ds. and sucJi food did not produce good, creamy milk. He did not put any water in the can nor instruct anyone else to do so. Mr. Tregonning: This is a very bad case, practically two-thirds of the butter fat having gone. The Prpsidmg Magistrate (Mr. T. Grif- fiths. You make butter:—Oh yes. Mr. Phillips, for the defence, asked their worships not to impose, a. heavy penalty, because the defendant had now given up the selling of mi.lk. It was iin- fortunate that farmers were not allowed by railway oompunies to seal cans;, as railway servants could now have a drink of milk, and make up the deficiency in the cans by adding water. The Presiding Magistrate said tho fine would be the same as on the last occa- sion, viz.: J;2 inclusive. I

WELSH UNIVERSITY'S FINANCES. I Mr. E. T. John has given notice to ask the President of the Board of Education whether the Government contemplated ap- pointing a Royal Commission to consider the relations of tIl" University of Wales to its constituent colleges; whether, if so, the terms of reference for such Commis- sion will also enable it to investigate the adequacy or otherwise of the financial resources now placed at the disposal of the University and the colleges, having full regard to the much more liberal treatment by the State of Scotland and of I Ireland; to the urgent need for very con- siderable development of the meagre existing provisions for agricultural educa- tion and research in Wales, and vihether generally such Commission may in con- sidering the requirements of Wales, take cognisance of the most modern Con- tinental, Colonial and American practice.

MORRISTON DISPUTE. ———— ————. SHORTAGE OF LABOUR CAUSES TROUBLE AT tOHtST WORKS. MASTERS' THREAT Work at the Forest, Bar Mill, Morris- ton, has been suspended ,sinœ yesterday, and close upon 100 men are affected. 1*: appears that there is a shortage oil men to keep the three shifts working on the eight hours' principle, which has' hitherto been in operation. The mustpr. desire the men. therefore, to work a 12- i hoursJ shift, which the men are .unwi!-1 ling to do. Their contention is that even it' they work a 12,hours' shift there will still be a shortage of men. The masters have threatened to close down the whole of the works if the men do not ildúpt the 12-hours' shift. A meet- ing of the men was held at the Taupr- iiacle schoolroom this morning, but no decision was arrived at. I" the masters' threat to close, down the Worcester and tho Forest tinpiate wort, Ü carried into effect-as it probably will have to bo if a settlement is not arrived at by the end of the week—upwards ot I 1,800 men will he affected. Another dispute on the question of the war bonus was settled last Monday.

LLANSAMLET WORKER'S DEATH! Dragged Under Machinery and Killed. • An inquiry touching the deaMi of W. John, who met with a fatal accident at the Swansea Vale Spelter Works, Llan-1 Ullet. on Monday last, was held by the Deputy ??oroner (Mr, (?ivu liel(I I-)? I lic rr?l,,) oL, Mr. Arthur M.

Robert John ?biotber) said the de- ceased was 5J. and was employed as a litter it the Swansea Yale Spelter Works. Dr. G. Evun Jones, Morriston, said he was called to the works about tAO p.m. on Monday. The deceased was then lying upon a stretcher in the building where the accident took place, and was doad. Describing the Jujurips, Dr. Jones said that he was hadlJ: crushed: his left (,f' practically severed, and both his upper and lower jaws fractured, together with the upper ribs on both ?,ides. He came to the conclusion that death was instan- taneous. 1 Lewis Lewis (Llansnmlet), a boy engaged at the works as an elevator feeder, said he sa w the deceased at?udiug by the side ot' the machinery with a bar-scrapper in his hand apparently watchhtg the puucy. The nnxt he saw was th?t he had fallen in under the machinery. WitnecN imlw'-j diately stopped the gine. When pulled out deceased was quite dead. Mr. ?eHnc: Was the piacc fenced:—Yes.

By Mr. Jlilditeh: He was using the scrapper to strike of- isoui,, clay which may have got stuck to the pulley.

He admitted that it was much easier to clean or remove the clay the deceased was doing whilst the machinery was in motion, but he thought it would be safer to do it with his hand than with a bar. A verdict of accidental death was re- turr.ed, the jury not attaching blsune to anyone, Mr. Selino, on behalf of the company, ex- prBssed sympathy with the family of the deceased.

CWMHANT COLLIERY DEVELOPMENTS. I Messrs. J. G.

Jameson Wilson and Co., two years ago..Since then the concern has beeu worked upon a small scale under the title of the Cwmnant Colliery, while underground development was proceeding. Extensive improvements are now taking place which will materially increase the output from the upper measures. It is also intended to considerably develop the property and sink to the lower measures at an early date. I We have acted as sales agents since last Sejftejftkei;.

Children-who have recently suffered from coughs, colds, whooping cough, bronchitis, pneumonia, influenza or other winter illness—need SCOTT'S now, to enable them to gain the strength to benefit by the health-bestowing sunshine. The poor child who never seems to get on-would get en, if given SCOTT'S Emulsion regularly during the bright Spring days. There is no child too young or too weak, to benefit by a course of SCOTT'S Emulsion. A course of SCOTT'S drives out weakness and disease, and lays the foundation of good health and a sound constitution. Irritable, fretful children become happy and contented, when nourished and strengthened by SCOTT'S Emulsion. Rickety children, with bent and twisted limbs, gain weight and strength in a surprising way, when given SCOTT'S for prolonged periods. Because SCOTT'S is a natural strength-maker, easily digested by the most delicate children-four generations oj doctors have recommended it. You give your children the best strength-maker money can buy, when you give them SCOTT'S Emulsion. Forty years tests have proved it. WHY ONLY SCOTT'S? SCOTT'S?

I Sir,—May I hi) allowed through the columns of your valuable paper to appeal to the people of Swansea on behalf of the Belgian soldiers in the trenches, who, whilst they bravely are doing their full share of the fighting, lack many of those comforts enjoyed by our own troops, which play such a large part in maintain- ing their high spirits. The Belgian soldier in the trenches sel- dom or never receives any hot food; it is sent him from the camp three miles away, and arrives cold, for at present there is no means of keeping it warm. To obviate this discomfort all appeal is being ma.de for 150 field kitchens at a cost of about IfM each, coiapictc, witli pony and harness. These kitchens have been speci- allv designed for quick transport: they I cook on the march, and each holds 2i gallons of thick nourishing soup, and 25 gallons of r-offee. On each kitchen is the j name of the town donatLng it. Thec are wanted at ocC'. The weather is yet cold, and the soldiers in the trenches are in need of hot mcaL. to strengthen and cheer them. Cardiff has undertaken to supply three of these! kitchens, and we have every confidence Swansea, will rise to the occasion and supply the same number at least, for our debt to the Belgian soldier is great, and ?180 is not much when we consider ?hat we owe him.  Amongst thc?e ho have already kindly subscribed, Miss Dilwyn has given ?10.! and Mrs. Chae. Cleevs C10, while Mrs. t Lancaster has guaranteed to collect £ 10, Mi&s Aeron Thomas .\11\ and Daily "Post P,5 5s. from its funds. Donations may he sent to the hon. trea- surer, Mrs. Barbier, 11, Bryumill-crescent, or to me Mrs. M. H. L. Williams, Hon. Sec. I St. Gabriel's Vicara,
