IN A SHELLED CITY! M'S VISiT TO HIS TROOPS IN FBANGE. CHEERS FROM THE MEN "I BRITISH HEADQUARTERS, Wednesday. Last Friday the King visited, another krmy district, where he was received and entertained at luncheon by jtho Army Loiniiiander and his Staff, after meeting the Generai Officers Commanding Army Corps and the Commanding Officer of a Scottish Division and the South African Brigade. There was no formal inspection t>! these troops, but large numbers of them were assembled in the old French villages through which the King passed, and the South Africans were drawn up Separately. There was a scene of great enthusiasm when the King arrived, and after a tremendous outburst of cheering the Suuth Africans broke into the Zulu war cry, a wild and barbaric noise heard for the iirst time across these fields of France. His Majesty was stirred by the tremen- dous demonstration of loyalty which swept about him in wave after wave of oheering. He kaew that he stood in the presence of men who had taken an heroic share in the battle of Picardy, fighting very splendidly at Longueval, and in the Devil's Wood." The King spoke of the fighting there to iOffie of the ofifcers and men, and thanked them for all they had done and suffered. CHEERS FROM AFRICANS. The fine appearance of both the Scots and the South Africans impressed the King as he passed them on the roads where scattered groups of them, gathered round their billets or gossiping with French village folk. caught sight suddenly )f the Koyal Standard on the leading iiotoj-car. 1 hey stared a moment as .hough hardly believing their eyes, and hen pulled off their bonnets or hate and iheered. Some of the men were lying about when the King came among them, unexpectedly, ind one man was snoring loudly as he lay rtrefehed out on a w heelbarrow. The loise of footsteps coming across the cob- ile-stones disturbed him, and lie stretched iis arms and sat up blinking, and then taw, with utter disbelief in the truth of ivhafc his eyes revealed, the King and lie Prince of Wales and a glitter of many brass hats." It was without announcement that the ving made a detour on his journey and uotored into the town of It is not a own where a King might be expected to to study its life and architecture. Its ife is subject to sudden visitations of leath, which come out of the blue sky like liunderbolts, and its architecture has been )adly knocked about here and there by he enemy's gunners. As it happened, hey had been shelling the town only re- eently before the King's visit, and their leavy shells had done further damage. This afternoon, when the King came, the iew citizens who were about, staring sadly tt the dreadful ruins, were astounded then the Royal cars halted among them, aid when the King and the Prince of Vales stood there looking at the ruin. There was a military policeman—Robert, q.P.on duty, and the King spoke to iim,.and the" M.P." de.5crihedhow the ihells had fallen and what damage they lad infli c ted. CHATS TO WOUNDED. The King's next visit was to a casualty llearing station, famous nearly a year go when, on four days after the battle .f Loos, 7,000 wounded men passed through, attended with noble devotion by :he medical officer and his staff, who korked without sleep and without much iood for all that time. There were only t few wounded men there on Friday, and So them tile King chatted for a wfcile, Listening to the stories of their fighting. Soon after the King,' the Prince of ft ales arrived, and, a few minutes later, in a series of three motor-cars, came Pn.¥>ident Poincare and General Joffre, fcrith their suites. The King, the Prince )f Wales, and Sir Douglas llaig walked own from the house to the chateau gates to receive the President and General flaffre, and then occurred one of the most charming incidents of the Royal ieur. A CHARMING INCIDENT. The -wide gravel pathway was over- ihadowed on one side bv tine old trees, flu the otliex sido wae a smooth ex- panse of lawn with, close to the gate, a ;umptuouf> bed of scarlet liegonias in a ilaze of blossom, and beyond the tail ivhite spike of a yucca in flower. Th*» path was lined on both sides by men of ;110 17th Lancers, standing at the salute. P.-itli their lances jn recovery, surely the aiost picturesque of all military salutes, [leyond was the red brick front of the ihateau. The distinguished party stood chatting or a moment just inside the gates, and hCll moved up the drive, the King and he President, then General Joffre ajjd ir Douglas Haig, then General l'oeh, the Pri-nee of Wales, and the members of the :wo Staffs, some in khaki, some in the lelicato French blue, and all wearing nore or less brilliant Staff caps, the itaid dark blue uniform of M. Poincare, ,'onspicuous in its plainnees, making an effective-touch of sober colour. Just as rhey moved away, a little girl of eight rears of age, dressed in- a dainty pink 'rock, came up and "Presented great bouquets of roses, first to the King and Jien to President Poincare.

LONG-DRAWN FRAUD. William Smith and Alary Smith, huv band and wife, were charged at Old-street in Wednesday wií h obtaining £ 100 in. separation allowances by fraud. It was itated that in August, 1914, the man was lischarged from the A.S.C., and from Dctober of that year until March, 1916, the voman continued to draw her separation idlowanoe of 27s. 3d. a week, despite the iact that. her husband was living with ae-i. For seven or eight weeks she actually irew. two allowances simultaneously by cleans of a second ring paper sent to her III error "by the War Office. Mr. Conway, vho prosecuted, mentioned that in consc- luence of the tremendous increase in re- STttfihag the War Office had made in- Kgaaerable mistakes, but in this case the roroan must have known she was commit- iing an offence. Mrs. Smith was .sent to Jri.son fox three months in the second livision. The husband was discharged.

The following appeared in last night's Parliamentary Papers:— Sir Alfred Mond asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware of the public opinion in South Wales against the permission granted to the coalowners of South Wales and Monmouthshire to increase the price of coal beyond the price of the Coal Limitation Act, and whether he can state the reasons for granting this permission. Mr. Harcourt, who replied, writes:—As I have stated in reply to previous ques- tions on this subject, the increase of 2s. 6d. in the maximum pithead price in South Wales of coal sold for home consumption was granted in respect of an average in- crease in working cost of 2s. 6d. a ton.
EFFECTIVE PRESSURE.
EFFECTIVE PRESSURE. The Anglo-French Forces in the West. The main pivot of the present battle on the French, British, Italian, and Russian fronts is to be found, writes H. Warner Allen in the Daily News,? on the left or western wing. The main ob- ject of our armies and those of the French is to hold so great a force of the enemy as to make the operations of our Allies in the centre and on the right irresistible. To-day the Germans have on the West- ern front 121 infantry divisions and one cavalry division, while of these no fewer than 59 are active divisions, that is to say, the French and British have in front of them nearly two-thirds of the German army in the field, and many of these troops are the pick of the enemy's available forces. On the Eastern front the German forces consist of 53 infantry divisions and ten cavalrv divisions, and of these onl v 18 are active divisions. To this force must be added the Austro-Hun- garian troops which are certainly of in- ferior fighting value. They consist of 47 infantry divisions and eleven cavalry divisions. The effective pressure of the British and French combined armies against the German forces in the West is proved by the difficulty and hesitation with which the enemy lias attempted to reinforce his Eastern front against the great Russian offensive. At the moment of the first shock on the East he ventured to with- draw four divisions, and since that time he has sent l a single division, the 121st. from the West to the East. This division was withdrawn from the Somrne, where it had suffered very }If>:1vy ]œsf.s--3.500 men in prisoners alone, and a large quantity of artillery. ALL FIELDS FORM A SINGLE WHOLE As things are at present the Germ"I cannot ppar? a single man from i.ms frcnt. Y or dun and the Somme each of them require the presence of some 20 German divisions in the first line, and it is clear that the steady. methodical ad- vance of the French and British will necessitate the maintenance of every man available on this front. Monsieur Briand's doctrine of the unity of front has been fully realised. On March 27 last 110 laid down at the Conference of Paris the following main principle on which the Allies must conduct the war against the (Central Empires- A single cause, served by a single army, fighting on a single front against a single enemy, under one single con- tro l. To-day it is possible to regard all fields of operation as forming part of a single whole. Germany did her utmost to anti- cipate and prevent the co-operation of the Allies by her wild assault on Verdun. At Verdun France held the Germans and defeated their plan, with the result that M. Briand's system is beginning to prove. slowly and surely, that it must be suc- cessful. Not only have the French held, and, indeed, gained ground at Verdun, but in co-operation with the British they have pushed back the Germans. The Russians and Italians have made the most ot the opportunities of the situation, and their courage and brilliant generalship have brought about a decisive advance, When the day of final victory arrives the effort of France and that admirable co- ordination of the Allied Armies, so largely due to the genius of M. Briand, will he realised and appreciated bv all those who have fought on the side of civilisation.

I WEST WALES WOOLLEN TRADE. Agreement as to Female Labour. I The question of employing female labour II to make up for the shortage of men in the West Wales woollen iactorios was dis- cussed at a conference held at Newcastle Emlyn, Ald. John Lewis, J.P., presiding, when there attended members of the West Wales Woollen Manufacturers' Associa- tion, representatives of the Flannel Weavers's Branch of the Dockers' Union, and Messrs. J. H. Rogers, Glyn Edwards (Swansea) and Miss Sloccek (inspectors of factories representing the Home Office). An agreement was come to providing that, as an emergency provision during the continuance of the war, females be employed upon certain operations hitherto ordinarily restricted to male labour, and paid the same rate of wages as are now paid to males for an equivalent quantity and quality of work. Should any shortage of work arise, the females shall .stand off after the completion of the work in hand until the men are working full time. It is further provided that female operatives shall only be employed when it is impos- sible to obtain male operatives, and that in the event of disputes as to interpreta- tion or working of the agreement the ques- tion shall be referred to a j-oint commit- tee. with power to call in a neutral chairman.

NOT DABBLING IN PEACE. Washington, Wednesday. — The State Department denies the report from Berlin that Mr. William Sharpe, the American Ambassador to France, had visited Berlin in connection with any peace proposition. Mr. Lansing says that the Minister stopped in Berlin on his way to Washing- ton, and that if he had conversations with prominent personages in Germany it is not to be assumed that he had any mission there whatever. The Tiines correspondent in Berlin had cabled that Mr. Sharpe was ostensibly visiting the French prisoners' camps, but that he conversed with prominent Ger- mans, and that it was rumoured .that he was to see the German Chancellor on the latter's return from Vienna.

A NEW ADVAN OE. I FRENCH AI10 BRITISH CAIN CROUND FORCES JOIN HANDS ON THE GUilLEMT- MAlifiEPA-S ROAD. TRENCHES WON NEAR BELLOY I FRENCH OFFICIAL. Paris, Wednesday, 11 p.m.—On the I Somme front, after an intense artillery preparation, we delivered this afternoon attacks which brought us important gains. To the north of Maurepas our troops, m conj unction with the British Army, cap- tured a whole line of German trenches on a front of about 1,650 yards, and. at cer- tain points, reached the Guillemont- Maurepas road. To the south of the latter village, on a front of a mile and a quarter and a depth of between 500 and 600 yards, all the enemy positions to the east of the Baurepas-Clery road were also occupied by our infantry after a very sharp action, whic hcost the enemy heavy losses. These two brilliantly conducted and rapidly executed operations resulted in our capturing a certain number of pri- soners, whose number has not yet been fixed. South of the Somme, about the same hour, our troops attacked and captured in one rush a system of powerfully organised German trenches for a length of over 1,300 yards to the south of Belloy-en-Santerre. About 60 prisoners remained in our hands. There was an intermittent cannonade on the rest of the front. BRITISH OFFICIAL. j The British official for Wednesday night 13 compressed in the laconic phrase: Nothing special to report." WEARING DOWN THE ENEMY. Paris, Wednesday.—The dull thudding of distant guns, which was clearly audible late last night in Paris, shows that the work in the north is proceeding steadily. The bombardment to w hich most attention is given in the commu- niques is that proceeding in the extreme south of the French Somme front between Li-hons and Estrees. Fresh evidence of the wearing down of the German reserves has been obtained by the Fiench. Men of the 1917 Class of re- cruits are being sent in increasing num- bers to fill up the gaps in the regiments at1 the front. The French have identified them in the 121 ot and 123rd Divisions, as well as in the Verdun region. There is also good reason to believe that the 1918 Class has been partly incorporated since July in me districts of Saxony and Wurtemberg.—" Times Correspondent. GERMAN OFFICIAL. Berlin, Wednesday. On the front south-east of Armentieres and in Artois; fighting was again vigorous yesterday. Near Poziercg the British prosecuted their unsuccessful attacks until yesterday morning. During the day there was no enemy infantry activity. A night attack j failed north of Ovillers. Near Moulin -so us To u vent (Aisne dis- trict) th-2 artillery tire on both sides be- came more lively for a time in connection with an unsuccessful French hand-to-hand attack. East of Kheims strong enemy reconnaissances were repulsed. Press Association. PLAYING OUR GAME. France, Monday.—Although in one or two cases German counter-attacks de- livered against the-positions won during the Britsh offensive have met with small temporary success, these may iairly be euniiuarised as the exceptions which prove the rule. The enemy losses in his efforts to recover ground around Pozieres are known to have, been very heavy, and it is to be hoped he will continue in a policy which really amounts to playing our game. On the night of August 4—5 a (:>rCf1 drawn from two divsions was launched against our troops, but was repulsed y itb big casualties. Again, on the ollowirg day two battalions were badly cut up in attempts to re-take the old German seo-i d line. A much more ambitious effort for the fame purpose was made on August 6, w hen no less than five battalions were seut for- ward. These advanced over some thousand yards of open ground under heavy artil- lery fire, and on nearing our trenches the German right flank was caught by our machine-gun fire. It is known that on this occasion the 3rd Battalion of the 63rd Regiment alone lost 400 men out of a total of 550. Altogether some 4,000 men were engaged in these expensive failures within the first four days after the taking of Pozieres. and as counter-attacks have been of almost daily occurrence both here and at other parts of the line of the British advance it will be seen that the Germans have lost heavily in the futile endeavours.—Press Association. NEARER TO COMBLES. I Paris, Wednesday (received Thursday).— An expert t rench, commentator this ven- ing writes:— The lull on the Somme front came to an end this afternoon, when our troops, after a comparative quiet, resumed the offen- sive with fresh vigour and complete suc- cess. The gains realised on August 11th and 12th from Hardecourt to the river were completed and enlarged considerably, and our advance was even extended south of the Somme. The attack resolved itself into a series of local operations which, with the aid of careful and prolonged pre- paratory bombardments, completely suc- ceeded and resulted in important gains for us. North of Maurepas our infantry, com- bining thei refforts with those of the British infantry, carried by storm a whole line of enemy trenches on a front of about a kilometre and a half, and thus reached at some point as far as the road from Guillemont to Maurepas, less than two kilometres from the first houses of Combles. South of Maurepas, after a keen struggle which cost the enemy bloody losses, our battalions seized all the German positions east of the Maurepas-Clery road on a width of about 2,000 metres and a depth of about 300 to 500 metres. These two simultaneous actions, con- dncted with precision by the commanding ofiicers and carried out with great dash by the men, gai-e us all the results expected. On one side our progress is accentuated in the direction of Ca.nbfcs, and on the other ] sld Maurepas is now ?stroii-lv?t I to the south-east and forms a sharp | salient in our lines, so that it will be difficult for the Germans to remain much longer in this village, which, moreover, we have already partially occupied since! Aug. 12th. South of the Somme at aliuost the same moment, a whole network of. a powerfully fortified German trench to the south of Belloyeusanterre fell into the hands of our soldiers, who carried them in one rush on a front of 1,200 metres. The balance of the day was thus altogether in our favour, consisting in a notable advance at three different points, to which must be added the captue rof numerous pris-1 oners, who have not yet been counted. BUSY AT DIXMUDE. j Le Havre, Wednesday (received Thurs- day).—This evening's Belgia.n commu- nique reports considerable activity in the I neighbourhood of Dixmudo.

German detachments east of Kie&elin (which is west of Lutsk) destroyed Russian outposts, returning with one officer and 163 meivprisoners. North of the Dniester, after their san- guinary defeats of the 14th, the Russians unsuccessfully attacked only at some points yesterday with weak forces.

A BRAVE FIREMAN.
A BRAVE FIREMAN. At the adjourned inquest on Edith Me:" Millan, a child of six, who was burned to death at a fire which broke out in a shop at Pimlico, Joseph James Moore, of tlig Vauxhall Fire Station, described his at- tempt to rescue the child. By means of a hook and ladder, he said, he gained the, balcony on the first floor and crawle round the front room. which was full ofJ smoke. When he went to the back room the tire shot, up the staircase, and he. had to jiuiip back. Eventually he went, into the back room and found the child kneel- ing behind the door. She moved in his arms. and when he got outcide he -was- almost overcome with the smoke. The coroner complimented the fireman on liis brave action, and the jury, return- ing a verdict of death by misadventure, also commended him warmly.
