USEFUL TRADES TINPLATE EXPORTS TO FRANCE AND 1 MAY DOUBLED. SWANSEA PORT RETURNS Sir Giithth Thomas presided this morn- t ing at a monthly meeting of the Swansea Harbour Trustees. Moving the adoption of the Finance Committee's minutes, XU-. Roger Beck saad the abatement of trade for the past moofth showed a shrinkage of 80,000 tons, as compared with the corresponding period of last year. Imports, however, showed a slight im- ( provement. Tar and pitch improved 1,200 tons, calamine, 9,000 tons; iron are, 7,000 tons; pyrites, 3,500 tons. There was a falling off, however, in sugar, of 1,500 tons; pig iron, 7,500 tons; wood goods, 3,000 tons; and grain, 3,500 tons. In the exports coal and cok e fell 77,000 tons, and tinpiates and galvanised sheets, 14,000 tons. There was a slight improvement in the exports of patent fuel of 6,000 tons. An adjustment of the ac- • counts left the actual result of the month's working a loss of £30. It was pleasing to notice that Norway and Franco nearly doubled their require- nients in tinpiates. Both of those were great fih countries, and the faot of the I incre?.ps showed that Swansea had a YPrY' useful trade in this direction. RumaJiia WM, of course, a dead letter, and China showed a falling off-altogther be de- crease was 9,441 tons—but he believed Mr. Law would agree with him that to put this right all that was wanted W:IÆ) another Blue Funnel or two.

Large Cargo for the East. The Chairman said they had just sent to the Far East what he believed to be tie largest cargo they had ever sent there —one of about 11,000 tons. He believed another steamer would take 2.000 tonö more than this. A vote of condolence was accorded the relatives of the late Lord Jersey (a mem- ber of the Trust for 33 years) on the motion of Sir Griffith Thomas, who said that the deceased earl was always anxious to do anything he could fin Parliament, for elsewhere, to further the interest of the town and trade of Swansea.

SWANSEA STrfEEf !REES A Man's Destructiveness Costs Him Dear. At the Swansea. Polioe Court on Mon- day, Abraham Phillips was summoned fur doing malicious damage to two trees in Kobert-ftreet and -Baton-road to the amount of iis., the property of the Swan- sea Corporation. Mr. Harold King. assistant solicitor to the Corporation, said that the Corpora- tion were spending considerable sums of money annually on the cultivation of trees in the streets of the town, and the burgesses appreciated their efforts. The Corporation, therefore, took a serious N-iew oi the offence, and asked the Bench to inflict punishment such as would prevent repetitions of the occur- rence. lilr. Daniel Bliss, parks superintendent, was c-alled. Aiimt Woolieyv^a painter, of Robert- fircet, who, it was stated, had been to the front and had returned, suffering from deafness, said he raw the defendant, who iy:ii under the influence a drink, breaking down a tree.

I BRIDEGROOM OF 84 I Met and Married in a Month. Although bent with the weight of his many years, Mr. James Griffiths, a lock- gateman under the Swansea Harbour Trust, led his third bride to the altar on Sunday. Mr. Griffiths is in his 84th year, whilst his bride, Miss Mary Mahoney, is not very far behind him, having 69 years to her credit. Both had attended the evangelistic meetings conducted by the Rev. Oscar T. Snelling at the Albert Hall. Swansea, and it was at the close of one 01 these meetings, no mfcre than four weeks ago, that th ooupl became ac- quainted. A week later the banns were put in. At the Gospel Hall. The marriage service was timed to take place at 10 o'clock on Sunday morning at the Gospel Hall, Orchard-street, Swansea, but long before this hour a crowd gathered in the hope of catching sight of the pair. A constant sfream of people entered the hall to witness the cersmony, which was conducted by the Rev. O. T. Snelling. The bridegroom arrived at the hall long before the scheduled time. He presented a venerable appearance with his white h.air and moustache, shining top hat, frock coat, grey trousers, and white waist- coat. The bride appeared on foot accom- panied by her nephew and niece. She wore a becoming black bonnet and a black satin coat reaching to her feet. She was given away by her nephew, Mr. Tom Morris, Mumbles, who also acted as best man, whilst Mies Louie Taylor, her niece, acted as bridesmaid. After the ser- vice a large crowd esecrted the happy couple down Orchard-street on their way to the Mumbles to spend the day. I A Cyclist at 84. It is interesting to note that, despite his age, the bridegroom, who has resided for some time at Iva Villa, Hafod-etreet, Swansea, has daily for many years cycled to his work at the North Dock. He is one of the oldest cyclists in Wales, and has for years spent his holidays cycling through the country. He went to sea as a boy, and was ultimately engaged by the late Mr. Talbot to assist on his yacht the Lynx, in which he made the journey through the Suez Canal, the Lynx being the second vessel to pass through after the opening. Three times he has journeyed around the world, and his experiences would fill a book. He has a vivid recol- lection of the Rebe^c-a rioh which oc- curred in his native town of Carmarthen., Despite his age, he in remarkably agile and alri:, his sight being quite good.. The bride has spent many years as housekeeper to a doctor in London. She returned to Swansea, a few months ago, and has been staying with her sinter, Mrs. Taylor, Hafod-street

I KNOCKED DOWN BY MOTOR. I A young girl of fifteen years, Catherine Gardiner, of 121, St. Helen's-avenue, was admitted to the Swansea Hospital this morning, suffering from inj uries to the face, the result of a motor accident.

ALLIES PRESS ON. Important Positions Won at Souchez. ITALY'S FINE PROGRESS. FRENCH. I Sunday, 3 p.m. During the whole of the night the cannonading did not cease in the region to the north of Arras We have taken possession of the Tail- way station of Souchez. In the soiiciiern part of the Labyrint, there was a stubborn struggle with hand grenades. Notwithstanding the desperate efforts ji of the Germans we have maintained all our gains of the preceding days. On the rest of the front there is nothing to report Sunday, 11 p.m. To-night's official communique says:- In the sector to the north of Arras there was a violent artillery duel in the. afternoon. We attacked the ridge to the north of the sugar refinery of Souchez, which had been very powerfully organised by the enemy. This ridge was carried by as- sault. We organised ourselves there and held our ground, notwithstanding an in- j temse bombardment. This morning we attacked to the eouth- i west of Hebiiterne the German trenches adjoining the road from Serre to Mailly Maillet. Our infantry in a single rush carried the three enemy lines, and reached its objective, taking over 100 j prisoners belonging to four different, regiments, including the 107th. Prisoners stated that in the course of the fighting of the last few days we in- flicted on the German troops very heavy: losses. Certain units intended to de- j liver a counter-attack, and were anni- hilated as soon as their ranks were formed. During the day the enemy attempted, a counter-attack, which we immediately stopped. Our artillery caused a very strong ex- plosion in Puiseux. It was followed by a fire and a panic, which the shooting of our guns increased The Germans attempted to re-capture I the trenches taken by us to the south of j the farm of QUinn evie, east of Tracy-lo- Mont. They were completely repulsed, and in pursuing them we made pro- I gress. Soissoiw was again bombarded. 120 shells being fired. On the rest of the front there is nothing to report. Captain Guffman, commanding the brat battalion of the German 170th infantry reg°iment, who was taken prisoner, said to a French staff officer, No doubt you send crack troops against us. I had gone to the first line trench of my batta- lion at the beginning of the attack. L never saw soldiers rush to the assault with such bravely and dash." Saturday, 11 p.m. In the region to the north of Arras there was an engagement of exceptional violence on the Lorette plateau. The enemy in all the sector Aix- Noulette-Ecurie has sought by con- tinuous bombardment to harass the organisation of the positions which we have captured. Our artillery replied against the German trenches and bat- teries. In the region 01 the Toutvent Farm, south-east of Hebnterne, the enemy this morning launched a counter-attack, which was easily broken down. There is nothing to report on the rest of the front except a fairly sharp artillery action in the sector east of Reims and on the perthes-Beausejour front. ITALIAN. ROME, Friday, 11.30 p.m. The following communique of to-day's date is issued this evening:— To-day was marked by some progress :u certain parts of our front. Our reconnoitring force pushed beyond Monte Nero and found among the rocks which have been battered for the last few days by our guns and rifles over forty enemy dead and the remnants of many rifles and quick-firing guns. The information of prisoners agrees in stating that the enemy's forces, over six battalions strong, with quick-firing guns, endeavoured to take our troops in the rear in the Monte Nero, region. This sur- rounding movement, however, was un- successful, thanks to the stout resistance: and rapid manoeuvring of the Bersaglicri and Alpinis. The town of Gradisca, which has been held for some days by our forces, is now I' solidly in our possession. (Signed) Cadoma. ROME, Sunday. I The following communique from the General Staff was issued here last night: Along the frontier of the Tyrol and the Trentino skirmishes between our most advanced troops and the enemy continue. The latter is gradually falling back, and at certain points ha- retreated. Our ¡\l tillery continues to demolish the fortified works of the enemy. In Oadore there is nothing noteworthy to report. In Carnia, Alpine troops captured the Volai Pass, taking 25 prisoners. On the Middle Isonzo detachments of our troops succeeded during the night vr June 9 and 10 in a sudden attack on the right bank of the river, near Plava. They were furiously counter-attacked by the enemy, who had, however, to retire ;'1 face of our repeated impetuous attacks. leaving numerous dead on the field and 2Gr prisoners in our hands. Successive counter-attacks by the enemy with the object of diverting our troops from the captured positions on the right bauk were constantly repulsed. On the Lower Isonzo our heavy battery artillery presed boldly forward, almost as far as the infantry line, and by accurate shooting destroyed near Sagrado a dy:e on the Monfalcone Canal, by means Or which the enemy had inundated an ex- tensive region at the foot of lioehi Heights, thus hindering oui advance. On the Tolmino Front our excellent airmen continue to execute, with skill and daring, their work of reconnoitring. (Signed) raoorna. BELGIAN. LE HAVRE. Saturday. A Belgian communique da-MJd 11th ioat., Ways:- In the night, from the 10th to lifch there was an intermittent bombardment to the north of Dixmude. During the dey of the 11th the enemy's artillery was very active and bombarded our advanced positions. Our batteries dis- persed some men who were working in the direction of Terstelle and Weerew-eyden. RUSSIAN. PETROGRAD, Saturday Night. The following officia4 oemmunique ja issued from Headquarters:- In the district of Shakinovo, to the north of Shavli, the encircling column of the enemy was repulsed westward during Wednesday last Near Shavli the enemy made unsuccessful attacks. Our advance towards Betigalo and Shavliany is develop- ing øqoceesfull) On June 10th our oavalry attacked the enemy, killing 100 German and making 60 prisoners. On June 11th we attacked and captured several villages In the diatrict of Kovno the enemy is endeavouring to maintain his front between Sapiezyazki and Hudale, but during the night of the lftth we pressed the enemy back for some distance on the Marianpol Road and Virballen. On the right bank of the Vistula, in the region of Staroszeby, the enemy, at dawn on June 11th, commenced a strong artillery bombardment, which lasted until noon. The German attacked, but did not succeed m approaching nearer than 400 paces from our trenches. Our aeroplanes, by their scouting and bomb-dropping, played an active part in repulsing the enemy's at- tacks. In Galioia, in the Valesklo district, a German motor-car battery whiah wa& rushed towards our entrenchments was im- mediately repulsed by our gunfire. During the three days' fighting (June 8th June 10th) in the region of Zuravno, we captured 348 officers, 15,431 men, 78 mitraillieuses, 17 gUllS, much ammuni- tion, and a number of cars. With the object of supporting the retreat- ing movement on the right bank of the Dniester, the Austro-Gema-n Army assumed the offensive on both banka of the Tys- mienice, and on June 10th oocupied the village of Gruszov. The enemy wao repulsed, however, and lost 33 officers and 490 men. On the night of the 10th and morning of the 11th the enemy unsuccessfully attacked the bridgehead near Haliz. The following day the enemy approached the Dniester front -Neizviska-Zaleszeziki, and began to cross the river at several points in thatf sector. PETROGRAD, Sunday. An official communique from the Rus- sian Chief-of-Staff in the Caucasus, dated June 10th, says:— In the direction of Olty our troops con- tinue to push the Turtqs beyond the Rivers Chorokh and Tortum. In the valley of Tewritehri our troops. have thrown the Turks back in the dis- trict of Zinatcher, occupying their posi- tions. In order to recover the lost posi tions the Turks made counter-attacks with strong forces and artillery, but werp repulsed with heavy loss. In the valley of Oltychai also ow troops successfully press?*! the Tucks, throwing them beyond the line to Don Verintau. 1,, this engagement 200 mounted Cossacks charged up to the Turkish trenches on horseback, and then dismounting: took the trenches by assault, cutting down the sur- prised Turks, manning them with the sword. The rest of the Turks fled. In the valley of Passine we crushed an attempt by Turkish cavalry to make its way in the direction of Alidjakral.

TWO PEOPLE TO MAKE A StlHDAV. I I have often declared," said the Ilev. the Hon. W. Talbot Rice, Vicar of Swansea, preaching at St. Judes Chureh, Swansea, on Sunday, H that it takes two Swansea people to make a Sunday: the first attends the morning service while the second takes his of her place in the evening." The Vicar, speaking of re- ligion, more particularly in Wales, re- ferred to the neglect of family worship. Parents expected too much of the church. Religion bad its birth in the home, and he condemned the action of' those who 6ent their children to places of worship while they themselves remained absent. u
