AIR SUPERIORITY. Good Work by British Machines. The Press Bureau issues the following Jourth. resume of incidents extracted from recent reports of the Royal Flying Corps ill Prance received from the Air Board:- JvJy 20th.-At about 6.20 p.m. four of our aeroplanes encountered an equal num- ber of Fokkers, accompanied by two bi- planes. A fight, lasting nearly three- quarters of an hour, ensued. Eventually one Fokker was driven down and de- stroyed- A secon d went away hard hit. and the whole formation was dispersed. Our machines returned undamaged, tfcough one pilot was wounded. Between S and 9 p.m. an offensive patrol of four orf our machines enoountered a hostile formation of 11 machines, includ- ing L.V.G.'s, Rolands, and Fokkers. Our leading machine first dived at an L.V.G.. which made off up east, and then attacked and drove down a Fokker. It was then attacked by a Roland, but outmanoeuvred it and drove it down. Our second machine closed with a Roland, which was driven down out of control. In this combn.t two Fokkers, which were about to attack, neady collided. Our third pilot, at a lower altitude, having disposed of a Roland which fell in a spinning nose dive, Has attacked by a Fokker, and in conse- quence of his engine having been hit he was unable to outmanoeuvre it. lie, there- fore, descended in a steep spiral. Our fourth pilot, observing this, dived to the rescue, and engaged the Fokker at a height of one thousand feet above the trenches. The Fokker fell to the ground and burst into lfames. The destruction of three is confirmed by independent witnesses. FOUGHT AT GREAT ODDS. J-uly 2ist. One of our aero- planes on artillery patrol at feet eaw eight hüe aircraft at a height of 9,000 feet". It climbed to this, height, and was joined by five of our fight- ing machines. At this juncture the oneruy were joined by five L.G.Y.'s and two Fok- kers- Our machines all attacked the some- what scattered enemy formation. A sec- tion of three of our machines dived on to one party, of which one Fokker plunged to earth from a. heigbt of 7.000 feet, and two other machines were forced to land. Another machine was seen. to fall out of control into a village, and yet another fell I headlong to earth i4 a field. The fighting lasted over half an hour, when the. re- maining enemy machines flew off in twos and threes. The total of hostile machines brought down on this day was six, and at least three moTe were driven down damaged. AMMUNITION CENTRE BOMBED. I July 2ith.-At 12.30 p.m. four air-bomb- ing machines, armed with heavy bombs, set out to attack an important railway centre in the enemy's lines of communica- tion where large quantities of ammunition had recently been reported. All four machines defended to hght of from 2,000ft. to 4.000ft. to drop their bombs. The station, crowded with rolling stock, and sheds containing ammunition were at- tacked. Both sheds and rolling stock were hit. and fires were seen to be started at four different points by our pilots, who re-I mained circling round. The expedition was practically unmolested by anti-air- craft guns or hostile aeroplanes. All our machines returned safelv and landed on their home aerodrome within four minutes of each other.

ALL BIGHTS RESERVED. -THE- FLAMBARDS MYSTERY. BY SIR WM. MAGNAY, Bart. Author of The Heiress of the Season," The Red Chance llor," The Master Spirit," etc. I CHAPTER XXI. A Glass of Wine. "Are you all right?" Mr. Crofton. I made a feeble, dazed reply. Rolt turned to the table, poured out a glass of spirits, and made ilie. drink it. The stiniu- lant quickly took effect, a.nd I was able with help to stagger to my feet, and then look round the ioom. An amazingly dramatic sight was there. Four uniformed policemen were guard- ing in custody the three men who had just so nearly been my murderers and who were already handcuffed. Almost before I had realised what it meant, I heard Roll's voice addressing the prisoners. Thomas Jtirby, Francis Errington, alias Edwards, Augu-ste Marie De la Cour, known also as Auguste Bonvoisin, I hold a warrant for your arrest. You will prob- ably be charged, together with a man named Henry Richards, or Rickards, call- ing himself Fitz-Richard, with stealing and receiving a quantity of jewellery and plate from Glenthorpe Hall, the property of Sir Percy Stayner, Baronet, also various articles of jewellery stolen from Ivossington Court, the residence of Philip Ash bury, Esquire; and with several rob- beries in other parts of the. county. You will also probably be charged with an attempt to do grievous bodily harm to David Gelston. Esquire, and further with assaulting with attempt to murder Fran- cis Crofton, Esquire, on this date. And I hereby caution you that anything you may say will be taken down a-nd may be used in evidence against you." For a moment or two all three prisoners sullenly kept silence, then Jurby said: "I have nothing to say to you just now, Mr. Rolt, except to congratulate you on your luck and smartness. I hope you won't find one of these days there is such a thing as being a. little too smart." As he finished speaking I went anxiously to Rolt. "What of Gelston? Is he all right ?" a "Make your mind easv." lie answered reassuringly. "Mr. Gelston is all right, or will be by to-morrow. No thanks to our friends here, though, as you shall hear, presently." His words gave me welcome relief, and I quickly recovered from the effects of my tussle. Preparations were quickly made to convey the prisoners to Morning- ford Police Station, and for that purpose the carriage was brought round which had been waiting ready to take the crimi- nals to the railway on the first sttm of their projected flight. Before a start wa-s made. Rolt made a rapid examination of the house, on which I accompanied him. The place was deserted but for the woman servant who had opened the door to me. The rooms were in disorder, snow- ing signs of hasty preparations for flight; beds were unmade, clothes thrown about, cardboard boxes and all sorts of rubbish lav in confusion on the floors, and the whole aspect of the house had a most un- fidy and disreputable appearance, j You see, these neople brought very little with them," R-olt observed, as he went rapidly from room to room. "Just what was sufficient to get on with from day to day, frince they never knew when nv might have to be on the move. The women have vanished," I re- markpd. Ypp. Two were packed off this morn- ing, and Mrs. Jurby left by the 4.44," Rolt an-swered knowingly. The men waited till to-night to avoid rousing sus- picion—and perhaps for another reason." When we wont downstairs again the police and their captives were waiting in the dimlv-lighted hall ready to start. At a word from Rolt. Jnrby and De la Court, with two policemen, got into the broug- ham. and a constable mounted the box beside the driver. Errington, or Edwards, in charge of the fourth policeman, fol- lowed on foot, Rolt and I walking just behind them. My companion did not seem inclined to talk, perhaps because we were within earshot of the prisoner, and we traversed the half mile to the town in almost unbroken silence. At The George Rolt stopped and bade me good-night. I'll give you a call in the morning. Mr. Crofton. and in the meantime I think you will find your friend Mr. Gelston going on all right. You had hatter let him sleep off the effects of the drug they gave him. Dr. Spackman has feen him, and says there is no cause for anxiety. Good night, and congratula- tions On being alive ?" I suggested with a laugh. "Rolt nodded. It was a near thing, but all's well I found Gelston in a quiet, if heavy, sleep, and, with a thankful heart for his escape and my own I left him and quickly tumbled, dead tired, into bed. In the mco-i ing my friend appeared as usual when I took him a cup of tea, only complaining of a racking headache. I must have had a bad time last even- ing," he said, with unconscious naivete. i That fellow Jurby's port wine All right, old fellow," I interrupted b.^hingly. Our precious friends at Morningford Place did their best to give us both a bad time, but they won't try it on again in a hurry." He started at me in surprise. "Not? Why, what has happened?" Thev are just now in the cells of the local police station," I answered. I'll tell you the rest when you are up." About half-past ten Rolt was announced. Gelston had just appeared, still feeling weak and dizzy. Glad to 9oe yon up so soon, Mr. Gel- ston," was the visitor's cheery greeting. Thanks. I don't know what hap- pened to me last evening," he said dully. No, you don't," was Rolt's pointed re- sponse. "That is just what I have come to tell you." Yes?" "But fimt of all, Mr. Gelston, I want yon to be kind enough to enlighten me as to what happened to you at M-orningford Place previous to the time you lost your ,sen,ges. I am sorry to trouble you just inow, but it is important that I should be in possession of a.ll the facts without de- lay." a Oh, I am only too glad," Golsfeon re- 1 sponded. I went up to Morningford- place as usual, to get the last sitting for Mrs. Jurby's portrait. I expected to finish it off in a couple of hours, and did Vso, but Jurby came in and made a lot of suggestions for slight alterations, so that between painting and arguing I was kept at work til! nearly dark. Then Mrs. Jurby left the room -11 Casually, I suppose. She did not say good-bye or suggest that she was leaving the place?" Rolt put in. NOh, no; nothuig of the sort," Gelston answered. "Jurby stayed with me talking while I packed up my paraphernalia. He was very gushing, expressed his entire satis- faction with the portrait, and their re- gret that the sittings had come to an end. Don't hurry away," he said, "let us have a little chat and a cigar. I am hop- ing to employ your brush again before long either here or in town." In the circumstances I could not very well refuse to stay for half-an-hour. He went into the study, where a very hot fire was burning. Jurby fussed about, look- ing for a cigar-box, and in doing so he moved a bottle standing in a straw en- velope on a bureau. ?Ah, now." he ?aid, ?this is something special. This is some very fine '47 port; we must just have a glass of it, and before we smoke, or we shan't taste the lfavour." He tossed the envelope into the waste- paper basket, took a corkscrew from a I drawer and opened the bottle. From a I corner cupboard he produced two rather large glasses which he filled, and handed one to me. "There, my boy," he said., tell me what you think of that. There is not much of it left now, so it behores a man to drink it when he gets the chance." I suppose he pressed it on me on account of my having protested aigainst his opening the bottle for me. Well, I didn't think much of the wine; it TiacTa curious aromatic taste, but then I am not a judge, and could not well say so Anyhow I had to finish the glass, though refusing a second, and then we lighted our cigars. Jurby did all the talking in his florid style, and I soon began to feel nn-1 usually sleepy. I put it down to the hot room. the liberal glass of port wine, and the cigar, which seemed fairly strong, j Naturally I did my best not to be guilt, of the bad manners of being sent to sleep by my host's talk, but it was no use; I r-ould not keep awake, the soporific effect, became irresistible, and I finally went off (l'ad asleep. From tb-it moment I know no more fill I woke this morning in my bed here." Doubtless, Mr. Gelston, you will say it was just as well you knew nothing of | what happened to you last evening—when | you hear what it was." "Tell me." Rolt lighted a fresh cigarette and coolly began his story. (To be Continued. )

I WOMEN MISSIONERS. I Bishop of London Explains His Attitude. I In a letter concerning the controversy which has arisen with regard to women having classes for women and girls in church during the misson to be held in November, the Bishop of London says the matter has apparently been mixed up f ;t-h the question of a woman priesthood. P-t- had not, he says, heard of a woman priesthood, and should most strongly op- pose it as both undesirable and uncatliolic, but he confessed that he thought that with hundreds of women taking classes for girls and children, and even boys, in the churches now every Sunday, it was not a great concession to allow them during a few weeks' minion to enlarge their classes for women and girls. The absolute barring of official places, such as the pulpit and lectern, and also tlio chancel steps, was meant to emphasise the strictly limited concession made. CONCESSION MISUNDERSTOOD. H To talk of women being allowed to preach in church," his Lord shin con- tinues, is an unconscious or deliberate perversion of the facts. But quite clearly this limited concession has been widely misunderstood, and must be reconsidered. Nothing must be allowed to harm the; mission. The Devil is no doubt working for some way of doing it, and he must not be allowed to succeed. I take the whole blame for any harm which has been done, and only ask for truce to all protests and counter-protests. No women messengers have received any license yet in London to give their mc-fige. either in or outside the church, and I am certain the high- minded women who will be entrusted with the responsibility will only wish to act! as is thought best for the Church and the J nation at large."

AT THE TRIBUNALS. Swansea Borough. The Swansea Borough Tribunal met on Wednesday afternoon, the Mayor presid- ing. Other members of the Tribunal pre- sent were Messrs. W. Matthews, Dan Jones, and A. Sinclair. There were about 35 applications. TWO BROTHERS, Mr. Hy. Thompson represented two brothers—motor lorry men, who had been before the Tribunal on Tuesday, had since been medically examined, and found fit for military service- Mr. Thompson held that they were both in a reserved occupa- tion; but they were anxious to serve their country, though both could not be spared. The elder brother, 28 years of age, was most anxious to serve; the younger, aged 23. was most useful to his father, and Mr. Thompson asked that the younger one bo exempted. While not accepting that the occupation of applicants was reserved, the tribunal granted the application. MINERAL WATER BUSINfeSS BRISK. Temporary exemption for two months was granted to a salesman at an aerated water works. It was mentioned that there was more business now owing to re- stricted hours of the public houses. Mr. Rupert Lewis represented the employer. I EXEMPTION WITHDRAWN. In a caso which had been adjouurned once or twice to enable a IDan to be ex- amined by the Medical Board, which he had neglected to do, exemption was with- drawn on the application of the military representative. I TAILOR'S MANAGER. A tailor's manager and cutter (37), married and three children, said he had been in the business for 25 years, for 10 years in sole charge. His employer con- firmed this. Applicant was granted a month's exemption. CASE OF A HOSTLER. A hostler in a local brewery, 35 years of age (married, two children) was granted two month's exemption. AN APPEAL TO PATRIOTISM. In a case where two brothers engaged in the fruit business applied, his other brothers having been exempted from Lon- don, on conscientious grounds, the Mayor appealed to their patriotism, pointing out there were families where four brothers had gone to the Army, and that it was hardly fair, though the tribunal admit- ted the business was important. The application was adjourned till next meeting. Half an hour later the brothers re- turned, and suggested that one of the brothers would be willing to join, if & few months' exemption were allowed to get another man. NO TOTAL EXEMPTION. The tribunal accepted this, and exemp- ted one brother for two months without right of further application. The other brother had three months' exemption, and was told he could appeal again at the end of that period. He asked for total exemption. The Mayor: We don't give total ex- emption; we haven't started it yet. Applicant: They are possible. The Mayor: They are possible, ifs true; it is entirely in our discretion. Total exemption was not granted. THE MAYOR EXPLAINS. I An applicant having pleaded he had a sister-in-law who was ill, the Mayor said he wished it to be known that the tribunal would not attach nutch import- ance to such statements unless they were supported by the certifi-cate of a medical man. SHOP BURNED DOWN. I A grocer whose shop was burned down a few weeks ago, hy which the applicant sustained serious loss, was exempted for three months. Mr. Evan Rowlands re- presented the last two applicants. THREE BROTHERS SERVING. A-butcher who has three brothers al- ready in France, and was the isole sup- port of a wife and two children, received two months' exemption. FOR THE CANADIAN CONTINGENT. Let tue see, said the Mayor, to another applicant, you are the young man who came from Canada to join. Don't you think it is a pity to disappoint you after having travelled three thousand miles to serve the old country ? Applicant said he had been rejected be- cause of rheumatism, but had since parsed for foreign service. The claim was disallowed. Ald. Dan Jones: You can join the Canadian contingent.

EVADING SERVICE? I Rounding Up Eligibles in I South Wales. It is understood that the recruiting authorities are to. prosecute a vigorous inquiry in South Wales with a view to H rounding up eligble men who are evad- ing military service. Under the circumstances it will be ad. visable for every man of miitary age who 60 far has received no notice calling him to the colours, or who does not hold some kind of certificate of exemption from military service, to get into touch imme- diately with the recruiting officer of his district to ascertain exactly the position in which he stands. I It also behoves employers to be exceed- ingly careful in engaging any men who l cannot produce satisfactory evidence that they are exempted from military service, as in the event of their doing so the serious penalty of the offence is equally shared by employer and employe. --+

MUNITIONS TRIBUNAL.1 Workmen Who Complained of Being Bullied. The South West Wales Munitions Tri- bunal sat at the Labour Exchange, Swan- sea, on Wednesday afternoon. The busi- ness will be comploted, on Thursday and Friday. An employe of a controlled esrtablish- meTht was given a leaving certificate to go to sea. The manager of another works complained that one of hie employes had entered the works under the influence of drink. It was stated that he was an ex- cellent worker. The Chairman re-marked that this being I his first offence would be dealt with! leniently, and would be fined .£1. COMPLAINED OF BEING BULLIED. Two workmen of a controlled works also applied for leaving certificates. The cases were taken together. One applicant stated his work (firing) was too heavy for him, and he felt himself breaking up. It was, he thought, essential that he should get different work. The second man said he had been sub- jected to the bullying of the management for quite a long time. The latter had complained several times about the stop- ping of steam, but he stated his fires were always good, and the complaints arose over the bad state of the flues and pipes. He had been taken before the management. and had been called a dirty dog in the office. The Chairman remarked that there was no evidence to show that the men wanted to leave to do other work of greater national importance, and the certificates were refused. Costs were not allowed either party. HINT TO EMPLOYERS. A worker applied for a leaving certifi- cate. He stated that he had given his employers the usual 28 days' notice, and when taking up a situation elsewhere he had not been asked by his new employer for a leaving certificate. The Chairman stated this bad been a cause for complaint. If employers would ask men when employing them for a leaving certificate, it would avoid a great lot of trouble. The employers did not help one another, in that way. He honed this would be brought to their notice, and consequently the men would not come to the tribunal.

WELSH NATIONAL MEMORIAL. I Not a Thing of Stone or Marble. The Local Government Chronicle in its current issue has many flattering things to say of the King Edward VII. Welsh National Memorial Association in its review of the fourth annual report of tha-t body. Little has been heard of this excellent institution outside the Prin- cipality," it remarks. but the work that has been done in establishing a useful memorial-not a mere thing of stone or marble—to perpetuate the memory of great King is very remarkable.. The work that the Association has undertaken is the establishment in Wales of a central body whose function is to deal with case-0 of tuberculosis and the mere fact that such a body is in existence will itself tend towards bringing cases under treatment which would otherwise escape after too l mu&h mischief had been done. The close co-operation that is thua invited, IcctJ authorities, insurance committees, and the general public on the one hand, and the medical, institutional, and aanatoriun# services on the other hand, is assured<1 The Association has so far carried on iW v-ork in a very systematic and methodical manner. It has done a wonderful worcf during the few years it has been in exist- ence, and we can only regret that it has no exact counterpart in England."
