r POLA ATTACKED I ITALIAN AIR RAID SUCCEEDS f INVADING ARMIES FIVE MILES BEYOND THE FRONTIER. AUSTRIAN FORTS DOMINATED The Italian Army having crossed the .'yrol-Trentino frontier, has advanced our miles in the enemy's territory, occu- pying north of Ala, the height of Gorit: Xugan, which is of first importance, u it dominates the new Austrian fortress at Rovereta. Meanwhile the attack upon another Austrian fortress, that at Bevedere, is succeeding, the fire of the defenders showing signs of weakening. At other points our invading Allies have been, preying victoriously forward. I On Sunday an Italian air raid, on the important Austrian naval base of Pola, on the Adriatic, where the Austrian tieet is lying, met with marked success, whilst a flotilla of destroyers caused serious damage to the Monfalcone Dockyard, and several food vessel^ were also sunk. Altogether the news from Italy to-day is of a satisfactory nature. The official communique issued by General Cadorna is as follows:— ROME, Monday. The Grand Headquarters issues the following communique:— On the Tyrol-Trentino frontier the ad- vance of our troops beyond the frontier continues about six kilometres—(four miles) North of Ala the important height of Goni Zugan was occupied, dominating Rovereto, upon which the Austrians had for some time been building a fortress. On the plateau our vigorous artillery action proceeds. The fire of the Austrian fort Bevedere, is diminishing in intensity. Our infantry is establishing itself strongly on the ground, progressing in the Val Sugana. Our front has reached about eight kilometres (five miles) from Borgo, solidly established on two slopes of the Val. Also Mount Beloedere, com- manding Fiera Di Primiero in the YaI Cismon is in our hands. On the Carnia frontier yesterday a bat- talion and a half of Austrians with quick- firers attacked our Alpines near Monte Croce Pass. The Alpines repulsed five violent consecutive attacks, and taking In their turn the offensive under heavy fire and in treacherous fog, finally cleared the enemy off. Our losses are slight. On the Friuli frontier the rain and consequent rising of the rivers continue. By their alacrity, self-sacrifice, and | serene confidence, our troops vie with one another in surmounting difficulties. RAID ON POLA. I Italian Dirigibles Drop Bombs on I Arsenal. Rome, Monday.—The following com- munique is issued by the Chief of the Naval Staff: Yesterday evening, May 30, one of our dirigibles flew 4over Pola and dropped bombs on the railway station, the petrol depot, and the arsenal. All the bombs exploded on their objectives, and a great fire broke out in the arsenal. The dirigible was subjected to intense firing from the anti-aircraft artillery, but was no? hit at all, and returned uninjured. This morning a flotilla of our torpedo- boat destroyers shelled the Monfalcone Dockyard, causing serious damages which the commanders of the destroyers them- selves were able to note. Some large sailing vessels laden with flour were sur- prised and destroyed by the eame flotilla as it was returning from its raid. Neither the destroyers nor any member df their crews was damaged by the enemy's gunfire.-Reuter. Work of the Fleet. Rome, Monday.—The bulletin of the General Staff and tne Navy issued to- night shows that the Italian Fleet, be- sides surrounding Pola, has been able to deliver an aeroplane attack on the Aus- trian naval stronghold, inflicting serious damage. Moreover, the fact that Manfalcone was attacked simultaneously by lapd and aeL shows that tl e Italians are prepared to protect with the Fleet the land advance towards Trieste. The Austrians think they can crush the invaders from hills surrounding Gorizia, and from the Carso Chain behind Trieste.

MR. MARCONI'S DUTY. I Mr. Marconi, who is on his way to Italy to take charge of the organisation of the wireless service there, arrived in London from the United States on Sunday night. Among the majority of American people the feeling is in favour of the Allies," he said yesterday. The sinking of the Lusitania caused a great deal of bitterness, but I think, taking an im- pression of the country as a whole, it will take a great deal to make the United States go to war." With regard to the Italian wireless ser- vice, Mr. Marconi said he could not go into details. Italy is making very ex- tensive use of wireless both at sea and on land. and I hope she will have a wireless war news service. I think it is desirable, and Italy has stations able to do the work." .Mr. Marconi has not had time to fol- low up his invention for lighting lamps by wireless from a distance, kut in wire- less telephony some advance has been achieved.

I AT THE MINISTRY OF MUNITIONS. I Work is going on at a tremendous pace at the new Ministry of Munitions, 6, Whitehall-gardens. Mr. Lloyd George ar- rived at his office yesterday before 10 a.m. and worked till 7 p.m., with the briefest possible interval for luncheon. His staff have been working similarly at the high- est preMure. Details of contracts in hand. made hv the War Office and Admiralty, have been laid before Mr. Lloyd George, who j has the assistance of naval and military officers. Full particulars of all factories to which the manufacture of munitions could be extended are being obtained. One of Mr. Lloyd George's tasks will be to decide as referee between the claims to urgency of War Office and Admiralty work n certain cases. But the first and most pressing business that has so far occupied his attention is to determine exactly what powers he possesses. There are no pre- cedents to guide him. Dally Mr. Lloyd George receives a larger Sumber of letters' and callers than any other Minister. Most of them bring sug- gestions or offers of help. There has been a constant stream of retired Army officers who offer tfceir services. Mr. Lloyd George has abandoned for the present his projected tour of muni- ■ •ion-producing centree.

Owtn Evans, 27, Fisher-street, Swansea, has been wounded for the second time in action with the Royal Irish Fusiliers, and is at present in hospital at Chichester. His regiment was one of the first to go to the front, and Private Evans has seen many hot battles. His first wound, which was the more serious, he sustained on September 28th. On recovering in hos- pital he was sent back to the front, but was again hit on May 11th, though, for- tunately, his injury is but slight.

SKEWEN'S FIRST WAR OFFICER I Tile hrst trom Skewen to be offered, and to accept, a commission, is Mr. Theophilus Beynon, son of Mr. and Mrs. Rosser Beynon, Villiers-road, Skewen, who has just been gazetted Second- Lieutenant in the 13th Battalion Royal Welsh Fusiliers. He is just 30 years of age. Previous to enlisting in the 2nd Universities and Public Schools Battalion in November last, he was headmaster of the Fronwen Council School, Ogmore, having occupied that position for some 12 months. He went there from Glyn- Neath Council School, where he had been certificated assistant for about four years. He is an alumnus of Bangor Normal College, being a student in the years 'I 1906-08. Not long after he joined the Colours he was made lance-corporal, and then a corporal. He was offered a com- I mission in the London Welsh, but his superior officers were most anxious to retain his services in the R.W.F. He is at present stationed at Llandudno.

TWENTY MOTOR CARS DESTROYED I An extensive East Ham motor garage aid carriage works were entirely de- stroyed by fire on Monday, the loss being about £ 8,000.

PRISON FOR MOTHERS I SHOCKING CASES OF NEGLECTED CHILDREN IN SWANSEA A PERILOUS CLIMB TO ESuAPE INSPECTOR The Swansea Bench on Tuesday had be- fore them two remarkable easelS of child neglect, in the course of which revela- tions of mothers* cruel conduct towards their children were made. In the first case Mrs. Sarah Rix was charged with neglecting her nine year old II child, Dolly Rix. Mr. Arthur Walters, prosecuting on 1 behalf of the N.S.P .C.C., said the evidence would lay bare a remarkable state cf affairs. The Bench would recognise tuei seriousness of the ca.se, and he asked that I the woman should be sent for a long term! of imprisonment. I Inspector Jones, of the N.S.P.C.C., pro- I ceeded Mr. Walters, was called on Thurs- day night la?t to the house of the defen- dant, when he found the woman in a very drunken condition. She had evi-l dently fallen from a chair, and m as I lying on the floor. In view of her co.t-i dition the inspector recognised that it! would be impassible to talk. to her that; night, so he left his card, with a message: that he would call round in the morning J A Perilous Escape. I Next day when he called, he found the; door of her room locked. The landlord of the house said defendant should be in, but! the inspector failed to get a reply to his repeated knocks. He thereupon obtained, the landlord's permission to burst the door open, and with the latter's assist- ance this was done. On entering the room they found it empty, but the window was open, and there were traces which showed that 'he woman had evidently got out with the child through the open window on to a narrow ledge of about eight inches and down a pipe which had a fall of 20 feet. The room was in a very bad state. The inspector proceeded to search for the woman, eventually finding her at nine o'clock sitting on a door-step in Craig- street, drunk. He endeavoured to per- suade her to go home, liut she refused, and police assistance had to be summoned and the woman locked up. The child was taken away and given to a 6ister of the defendant, who was a very respectable woman. Husband and Sons with Colours. I The defendant was in receipt of 25s. a week from the War Office, her husband being a mine-sweeper, while two of her eons were also serving their country. She had also received sums of money from tho Prince of Wales' Fund, and various other payments. P.C. Reynolds, who took the woman to the station, described her condition as horrible, and said her room was in a shocking state. Superintendent Roberts proved five previous convictions. The Chairman (Alderman Ben Jones) said the case was a very bad one, and the Bench thought the child had been very fortunate to come into the hands of In- spector Jones.—Defendant was sent down for three months. Too Harrowing." I In the second case, Mrs. Amy Elizabeth Thomas (53). was similarly summoned in respect of her ten-year-old child, Amy Evelyn Thomas. Mr. Walters described this case as "even worse tha.i the last." The de- tails were 60 disgusting that he could not harrow the feelings of the Bench with a description of them. Inspector Jones said that on May 19th he visited 15, James-street, and saw the little girl and her father in the ba^k kitchen of the house. The room was in such a 6tate that he could not remain there. He reported the condition of the child to Dr. Marks, and in the afternoon again visited the house with the doctor. On the instructions of Dr. Marks the girl was removed to the Workhouse. When witness called at the house the first time the father was crying, and siid that he had not seen his wife since tie Friday. He also said he could not get her to do anything. The father told witness that he had tried to wash the child's hair. In another room witness saw defendant's mother, an old lady of 81. "Worse Than the Slums." I F. Jones, sanitary inspector, said that in his twenty-one years' experience !>e had never seen a worse house than the defendant's. Dr. Marks 6aid the child was healthy and robust. Her hair was matted to. gether, partly with dirt and partly with lice. Witness had to smoke to keep the stench away. Her garments were gar- ments as far as they went. Her sur- roundings were most prejudicial to htr health, and the state of affairs that existed must have been prevalent for at least six weeks. He could not possibly find a houee worse than that even in +he 6lume. The woman was sent to prison for three monthe.

MEAT PRICES :HOW THE SHORTAGE AFFECTS SWANSEA ADVICE OF TRADESMEN (By Otra OWN CORRESPONDENT.) The scarcity of meat in Swansea 1-is been emphasised over the week-end by the gradual ascension of the scale of prices of beef. Lamb and pork have undergone no change in price, but the quantity available for sale on Satuiuay was far too small to meet the abnormal demand, consequent upon the inability of customers to purchase beef. The meat question has now resolved it- self into an economic one with special application to the open market. That is to say the point arises as to whether the prices ruling in the open market cannot better be regulated if customers more fully appreciate that their demands affect those prices. Since beef has come to cost more there have been many vna have tabooed it and have given preierem a to lamb, and, in some isolated cases, pork. Still the demand is sufficient to cause the price to go up, and since Friday last the wholesale price has increased, <.nd there are some butchers who have uni- formly raised the retail price. And hero the economic question arises. How much higher will the retail price-and, <f course, the wholesale price which regu- lates it-go? To-day best beef steak costs Is. 6d. per lb, iourpence more than the pre-war price. This price will wr- tainly increase, perhaps before the end of the week. and gradually go on in- creasing until the public will refuse, or be unable to buy it. Then, and then only. will the market price fall. To-day wholesale dealers are command- ing a price for store cattle such as in re- war times they had for fatted cattle; rhe demand is such that to an extent they an aek any price. Further Increase Probable. A leading local butcher told a "Leader" representative to-day that beef would certainly increase in price so long as the public clamoured for it. But, he said, it will reach so high a price in a short time that people positively will be un- able to afford the luxury. Then it will fall, but certainly not to the normal price, and it is inconceivable that the normal standard will be reached until some time after frozen meat will once more he available. The market is so un- settled to-day that the same price does not rule for any two consecutive days. It is now an open fact, duly impressed upon customers, that butchers make absolutely no profit on beef, and, indeed, in some cases actually lose on it. The little profit. the tradesmen get to-day is obtainable from the sale lof lamb, and with the increase in the call for la.mb it is probable that by next week this meat will also rise in price again. The Demand for Lamb. Another fact which will add to the con- sumption of lamb is that with the hot weather the demand for pork will de- crease. Lamb to-day reached Is. 4d. per lb.; it may be Is. 5d. or 18. 6d.'by the end of the month. On Saturday customers in the majority purchased lamh, and as a result in the evening not a single joint of lamb could be obtained in the town, and many were disappointed. Once again this emphasises the supreme hecessity for the public to send their orders to the tradesmen early in the week. One tradesman told a Leader repre- sentative that the public too literally obeyed the Leader's" advice on Friday last to buy lamb whenever possible. He said that he was overwhelmed with de- mands for it, and on expressing his inability, was told that these columps had advocated it as a means of helping the butchers. But these columns, it should be borne in mind, also advocated the sending in of orders early, a point which cannot bo too strongly emphasised. It would be well to point out that beef steak in London to-day fetches Is. lOd. per lb., retail price.

A BAFFLING BEE DISEASE. The Isle of Wight bee disease, which has been baffling scientific investigation for six or seven years, has now practically cleared the districts around London of bees. An instance occurred this spring at Beckenham, where a whole swarm was found dead. Last year this apiary pro- duced 425 worth of honey. This year the disease seems to be spreading to districts hitherto un- touched," said an official of tla British Bi-e Keepers' Association yesterday. Somerset, Devon, and Cornwall, for in. stance; and again in parts of Dprham and Lancashire, and also in Scotland. We have found neither a preventive nor a cure. The main thing to do is to keep the water clear of contamination and to dig and quicklime the ground around the hives. The only bees I know in London to- day are those at the Zoological Gardens. So far the Zoo' bees nave escaped the parasite.

Mr. CRAWLEY BESIEGED! I Record Crush at the Albert hall Yesterday. Special Interview with the Famous London Sight Specialist. If any of ns had entertained the slightest doubt as to the hearty reception which Swansea would give to Mr. Craw- I ley, the well-known London Sight Testing Expert, a visit to the Albert Hall yester- day would have swept it away. All day long an unceasing stream of people passed through the consulting rooms. It was not until nine o'clock at night, after three or four futile attempts, that I at last managed to have a word with Mr. Crawley, and to ask him what he thought of Swansea and of the success of his visit. Tired as the great man obviously was, he still appeared as keen as ever on the work in hand, and generously devoted a 1 few minutes to recounting his experi- ences. He was delighted with his reception. Swansea," lie said, is a town with a sense of appreciation! It is worth while making some sacrifices when one's efforts are RO sincerely recog- nised. Don't expect me to talk at length with you to-night—all day long I've hardly had the time to turn round, and I naturally begin to feel just a little bit done up. But I ehall be ready for another long day in the morning. If Swansea can so plainly show her appre- ciation of my efforts, I mean to prove that I am more than ever at her service." "And what is your opinion of Swansea peoples' eyes as a whole ? I asked. "Just what I expected." he replied without hesitation. "In a big industrial centre like Swansea, where thousands of workers have to spend 8 or 10 hours every day in a factory, a workshop or an office, frequently in a bad light and a bad at- mosphere, straining the eyes over close work. there is nothing to wonder at if the number of cases of defective vision is far above the average for a town of the size. But I am thankful to say that a very fair proportion of them have taken their eye trouble in time. Their eyes were merely overworked." "Did you meet with any really serious cases?" I asked. "Quite a number," he said, "and most of them caused by actual neglect. It is really heart-breaking at times to reflect upon the careless way in which people treat their eyes. "Over and over again to-day I have dealt with cases where the sight has be- come seriously injured by unsuitable glasses-and each case I meet makea me more convinced than ever of the urgency of the work I have undertaken, and leaves me more firmly resolved to tight against the high fees and expensive charges which stand between the great mass of work- ing humanity and the proper care of their eyes. I NO MORE HEADACHES. I I should think," went on Mr. Craw- ley, that at least 50 people to-day told me they were sufferers from chronic headache. They had tried all sorts of medicine for it-at least, all sorts but the right one. Their eyes were the cause of the trouble. I have prescribed for them, and if my advice is carried out they will not only find their headaches gone for ever, but their working power will be increased fifty per cent. Three of the cases which came under my notice were of a more serious nature and required the attention of an oph- thalmic surgeon. These cases, of course, I do not treat further than to advise the patient to see a surgeon as soon as pos- sible and to give him or her a general guide as to what to do in the meantime. I WAR WORKERS IN SWANSEA. One thing struck me particularly— and that was the large number of people there are in Swansea who are engaged on war work or some patriotic service or other. One should perhaps not be too surprised at this in view of the fact that gallant little Wales is always to the front in matters of the kind. I realised at once that the concentration war work often requires had resulted in overstraining the sight. You can be quite sure that such cases received my very best and most sympathetic attention." I FREE GIFT TO SOLDIERS AND THEIR RELATIVES. I I am given to understand," I said, that it is your intention to present glasses free to young men who are de- terred from joining the colours on ac- count of defective eyesight." That is so," he answered, although I am too old to do my bit at the front, I consider it my duty to do my utmost to enable others to respond to the call of King and Country. Any man who comes to m8 a-fter having been found physically fit otherwise, and when only his eye si glib is in the way, will receive the best of ad- vice, and will be provided free of all charge with glasses to suit his particular case, and to enable him to enlist. I should like it known everywhere, apart from this, that considering what these noble men of ours have done, and are doing, at the Front, I have decided to give the best of my experience and knowledge, and to provide eye glasses free to the wife of any soldier who haa fallen at the Front. To all other people glasses will be sup* plied at the same low charges which have made my scheme so popular in Swansea and other places, the average cost of the lenses being 3s." I A WORD OF WARNING. On leaving Mr. Crawley, he asked ma to tell to the Swansea public once again that his services are free of all charge. Tell them," said the great specialist, that I shall remain AT THE ALBERT HALL each day this week, and will take each case in rotation. There will be no hurry- ing—each patient will receive my full attention and the very best advice my experience suggests. "I am afraid it is already clear that I shall not have time to see all those who hope to consult me later on during the week. The pressure is already beginning. Tell the public to come early. I cannot see how I can possibly extend my visit, and I do not wish to disappoint anyone. My hours of consultation are from 10 to 1 and 2 to 7. Special appointments may be made." [ O. H. W.
