WHY NO INQUEST ? Pontardawe Guardians and a Workhouse Death. At a meeting of the Pontardawe Guard- ians on Thursday, Mr. P. T. Jones pre- siding, the Workhouse Master (Mr. J. M. Jones) reported that Virginia Davies., WHO had been admitted into the house on \fay 15TLI had died on May 18th. Mr. Joseph Thomas asked if an inquest hal' been held on the woman. Clerk: No. Mr. Thomas said that the woman had only slept one night at Ystalyfera be- fore being taken to the house, and yet she died a couple of days later. He did lot know what explanation the Medical Officer could give for not holding an in- quest in this case, especially as an iu- quest had been held a fortnight ago on a man who had lwcn under the doctor for nearly two years. He thought it was a most ridiculous position for a medical officer, and he knew that the jurymen complained of the inquest held a fort- night ago in regard to the old case. A Duty to Economise? Mr. T,. W. Francis said that during the present crisis. hI) thought it, was their duty to economise as much as possible. An inquest COEt between S8 and E9, and if it was necessary in the first case it should bo necessary in the other. • Mr. B. A. Jones said he did not think" there was any one on. the Board who knew when an inquest was necessary or not. It was entirely in the hands of the doctors. The Board decided to ask tor an ex- planation.

THE FRENCH AIR RAID ANOTHER STORY OF ATTACK ON GERMAN EXPLOSIVE WORKS. HUCE MASS OF SMOKE I I Paris, Thursday.—Eighteen aeroplanes Railed out at three o'clock this morning to bombard factories at Ludingshafen, the Badische aniline and soda factory, the most important explosive factory in Germany, which occupies the whole of the quarter of Ludingshafen, near Maunnheiin, and an important annex was recently opened at Oppan. three kilo metres from Ludingshafen. The aviators dropped 47 projectiles of .90, and two of 55 on the first objective, and 36 of 00 on fhe j Oppan factory. All attained their objects for at 6.15 a.m. three enormous fires'with ye!Iow gmoke WERE to be seen at Ludings- hafen, and at 6.30 the aviator noticed great masses of smok* enshrouding Lud- ingshafell and Oppan. Tlic, aeroplanes were fired upon, but all save one returned safely. According to pilots, the missing machine was obliged to defend near ingshafen, and was seen to burst into flames after it had reached the ground. It is believed that the descent. which was doubtless due to the enemy's fire, was made normally, and that the occupants of the aeroplane set fire to it so that it should not fall into the Germans' hands. The expedition, which s hows the degree of skill and courage developed by the French pilots, is the finest feat of the aerial arm so far accomplished.

NEBRASKAN REACHES PORT. I The American steamer Nebraskan, which was reported to have been tor- pedoed by a German submarine on Tues- day night west-south-west of the Fastnet, arrive! in the Mersey last night, and was berthed in the Canada Dock. Captain Green said the ship was going about 13 'knots, when they felt a big shock, which was followed by a terrific explosion, the effect of which was to burst the hatches forward, throw the derricks into the air, and fill the lower hold with water. There was a big HOLE, about 20 feet square, at the fo'c's'le, and below tho water line. The crew of 40 took to the boats, as the vessel was settling down by the head. A wireless. message was sent out, and two Admiralty boats came upon the scene. At the end of an hour the crew returned to the NEBRASKAN and wore successful in .navigating, the ship. Asked what he thought, was the cause of the explosion. Captain Green said no one TAW the submarine, although the chief engineer had iuformcd him that he thought lie saw the wake of the torpedo on the starboard side. If it was' a sub- marine there was no excuse for attacking the vessel, as tho name was plainly to be seen on both sides, amidships and stern, and it was moonlight at the time. Three men were injured. The American Embassy are investigat- ing the affair. S
