France, Wednesday, 10.13 a.m. fÄt an early hour this morning the sf.English troops iioldmg the sector of our front south weSt: of Mor- lancourt,c ounter-attaeked and rt- gained all the more important portions of the ground taken from us by the enemy in his' attack yesterday. :All the objectives oi our counter- attack have been secured, and a liumber of prisoners captured by us. As the result of the actions of our patrols yesterday and dur- itie night we bdyanced our line a short distance astride the Clarence River and captured a few prisoners and two machine guns. fA party of our troops successfully rushed one of the enemy s post* last night north of Vreux Ber- ) quin. !,Rc,sti-le artillery has been active east ? of Robecq ad m the Merville and £ v Dickebühe sectors. ril"O.ÓA V'S FRENCH OFFICIAL.

In Champagne a local attack directed against our positions to the south of jAuberrve was driven off. TACTICS OF FRENCH I COMMAND. r~ PARIS, Wednesday. Reuter's expert commentator, writing (.last night, says that the Germans are dis- playing an aggressive resistance between the Vesle and the Aisne, hut it seems very JHirilikely that this line will be able to re- sist for long. As may be supposed in the ^conditions the Frei^h command prefers economi6c its troops and to watch over ..i \'en rather than to hurry them on by t a ftirect attack. The great German faile-re of July 15th continues to upset the ene- my's plan. On the British front the Ger- xnans were obliged to abandon their posi- tions facing Amiene, and to evacuate the eastern bank of the Ancre, on both Bides of Albert. On the French front, north of Montdi- dier the enemy had to fall back on the eastern bank of the Avre between Morieel and Montdidier. The enemy General "-Staff naturally claims that these move- ments were voluntary, and were carried out in good order. The important thing is that the enemy was compelled to make J these retreats, and it is proof that he was 'beatefii. .I ON THE RUN! I 0 America and the German I | Retirement. fit.

Twenty-nine-Uritiph officers, including two lieutenant-colonels, have escaped under dramatic circumstances from the German prison camp at, Holzmindon, which is alxmt 110 miles from the nearest point of the Dutch frontier. Their escape, according to the Dutch papers on Tuesday, is announced by the is 1)3- t l ic-. General Commanding at Hanover, who offers a leward et 5.001) marks for each prisoner brought back to camp. They are supposed to be' in mufti. Acoording to the German paper Osna- brueck Tageblatt," one of the officers has been captured," and has revealed that the escape was made "by a. subterranean passage, several hundred yards long, be- tween the camp and a neighbouring forest. The officers workeH at the tunnel for nine months. The Dutch Handelshlad" learns from a further source that even blood- hounds are being employed to trace the fugitives, but up to the present locally. It is believed that the officers made for the Dutch frontier.

GERMAN MUTINIES. U-Boat Crews Afraid to Sail. Amsterdam, Tuesday. Extraordinary rumoure are afloat at VVilhelni-haven re- garding serious acts of submarine sabot- age perpetrated by a number of revolu- tionary sailors, who, ior the last 8i" months have l>een carrying on propa- ganda with the object ot bringing about an early stoppage til tlie su-bmaline *dl: I Reports reaching, me (says a Daily Express correspondent) are somewhat, conflicting, and it is difficult to aeoertain the actual faets. but I am told on good authority that the (sailors revolted be- cause of the increasing dangers of sub- marine work, owing to the Allies' new anti-submarine methods. They incited other tailors about to leave on submarine, cruises either to attack their officers while at sea and 8iirreucler the ship, or to take the first opportunity of sinking t.heir ship and gettinx themsplTM in- terned in neutral harbours. More than •50 submarines disappeared, Sometimes with all hands. The revelations made at Wilhelms- haven caused a great sensation among people who were informed of them. The police arrested 23 ringleaders, who were court-martialled and sentenced to death within three days.

I The point in the resumed case at Swan- sea Countv Court, before his Honour Judge Rowland Rowlands, on Wednesday, in which yVilliam Conway claimed com- pensation from Messrs. Thomas and Co., Cwmbwrla Tinworks, was whether or no the lumbago and back pains were due to an accident he had at the works in Aug- ust. 1914. Evidence was ° given by Dr. John D W. Williams and Dr. Lan- caster. The last-named held*" that the effec ts were due partly to premature old age, and partly to slow recovery from the accident. His Honour held that the company was liable, and made all award of 15t-. per eek. £ r. H. W alter Samuel was for the ap- plicant, and M.r. A. J. I'ro&ser for the lCOlny.

"BIT BADGERS" AND LABOUR r
"BIT BADGERS" AND LABOUR r Unfounded Suspicions Regarding I Their Attitude. Mr. W. F. Francis, general secretary of the Swansea Branch of the National Federation of Discharged and Demobil- ised Sailore and Soldiers, writes us with regard to the attitude of the Federation to trade unionism. He states that some trade unionists regard the movement with suspicion, and feel that the dis- charged men may be a cog in the wheel of progress and tools of the capitalist class. As proof that these suspicions are absolutely without foundation, lie points out that one of the objects of the Federa- tion is that every man should join the trade union catering for his particular work. He therefore appeals to trade unions' and to the workers generally to assist in doing justice to the discharged men, who have suffered in the great cause.

PATROLS BUSY 'I.' ON FRANCO-AMERICAN FRONT THE ENEMY'S INTENTIONS kfrtym, Lhe Press Association Special Correspondent). AMERICAN ARMY, France, Tuesday, Noon (.Received To-day). Yesterday, on the Franco-American front., war entirely a day of reconnoitring. On the ieit patruls from General Man- gin's forves were bh«y along the Aisne, though here there could be very little doubt as to the points of German resis- tance, sitce the enemy has but retired to he had long held. The high ground which so steeply flanks the and the tangle .of villages along it, offers ideal concealment and ob- servation, for gun positions. Further to the right immediate interest was concen- trated on the long ridge between the Vesle an,. the Aivrie, uince the enemy's intention: regarding it can as yet only be conjectured.

The G-ermanslllive cause to know well the de- fensive p>ssibilities of this ridge, since it was in the woods and hollows about Saint TVuerry, on its ea,stern margin, that the tmall Franco-British force held Up the overw helming German hordes that were loosened on May 27th. It would be wise, therefore, to anticipate a certain delay, even though the enemy may have no in- tention to make his final stand here. It will become ultimately a question of guns, and .the b'avy oonditio& ,of the roads had delayed the accumulation of our artillery. WEATHER AND THE HARVEST. The improved weather of to-day is very welcome, and nut only so from the sol- dier's point of view, as the continued I heavy rain was interfering greatly with the harvest operations, the more reg ret- tably since there has bee a promise of an abundant crop. Spring-sown wheat L looked poor almost everywhere three weeks ago, but, it has benefited" here it has not betn beaten down by the open weather. Barley and oats seem every- where excelicnt. and potatoes show little sign of disease. All that is needed now is fine wMther. Excellent arrangements appear to have bee- mad e by the re- leasoe of men from the Army to garner the harvest.

CROWNED BARD
CROWNED BARD "LEADER" MAN. Port Talbot Journalist's Triumph. The Cambria Daily Leader feels great honour in announcing to-day that the crowned bard of the Neath National Eisteddfod is Mr. David Emrys Lewis, a member of the stafi of this journal, and for the la",t two yeait its Port Talbot re- presentative Mr. Lewis has frequently contributed to Awstiii's Welsh column in the Leader, and a notable recent descriptive article of his in these pages wat; a brilliant account of the return visit cf Col. Penharwood to his old home at (Carmarthen. Singularly enough, Mr. Lewis has never revealed his poetic gifts as a Welsh bard to his journalistic colleagues, and the only effort of a recent date printed was al amusing little English effort, which our readers may remember a week or two ago, dealing with the embarrassment of the municipal honours to be offered in Walo-s to the Prime Minister. The sub- ject for the crown this year was Monaclilog Nedd (Neath Abbey), and the prize a crown and £15. WINNER OF BARDJC CROWN, j (BY "AWSTINI") As journalists, members of the Leader staff are proud of thedr col- league, the winner of the Bardic Crown at the Neath National Eisteddfod of 1918. The contest brought a surprise to the old stagers among the bardic fraternity, for the victor is undoubtedly "a rank out- sider." He has contributed ome remark. J ably fine Welsh prose notes to my column, Ein Iaith, Ein Gwlad a'n Cenedl," and' I have occasionally been the recipient of shoals of compliments on the purity of the language in certain notes, which, with others, appeared from Mr. Lewises pen, for my colleague has been the Port Talbot representative of the Leader," and is not only a genial personality but an able man absolutely without "side," and who errs, I think, on the side of too much modesty. He was at the proclamation at Neath, but failed to get inside the doors of the circle because he did not possess a ticket. BORN IN NORTH WALES. I He was born at Machynlleth 31 years ago, and was educated at the County School, and graduated in his school of experience in journalism. He served first of all on Y Genedl at Carnarvon, and then went to the "Montgomeryshire County Times," and from there he came to us at the office of the Leader," the first Wekh daily newspaper, the first daily newspa per to pu hlihli Welsh column of notes every week, and the first of all daily papers to SCTtd forth the victor of the Crowning day at the National Eisteddfod. He has previously won two bardic chairs, one at Llanidloes and the other at Llanbrynmair, both under the adjudkatorthip of the late Rev. Rhys Huws. whoe kindly advice encourad him to proceed with hi? bardic studies. HIS FIRST ATTEMPT. This is his first attempt at the National Eisteddfod, and. like most of us, he put off writing his poem until the end of I June and the beginning of July. Mrs. Lewis in July gave birth to a boy, whose I name was fixed as Goronwy. Yr Hen I A bad was the name under which Mr. I Lewis sent in his effort and won. The Three Adjudicators Disagree. I Awsrtin writes: The ceremony of crown- ing the bard who succeeds in the pryddest contest will take place on Wednesday afternoon. It is an r. open secret that the three adj udicators do not agree as to the merits of the best. At any rate, they could not arrive at a unanimous verdict up to Tuesday night. Two-Gwili and Ben Davies (I believe)-were of one mind, but Emyr held an opposite view as to which was best. I am authoritatively told that three of the agreed best poems were again referred back to Emyr for his further considera- tion. If he comes into line with the other two adj udicators, ao much the bet- ter. If he does not, then the verdict of the majority-the other two, of course— will be accepted by the Gorsedd as final and binding, and the crowning ceremony will, therefore, definitely take place in either event.

TO-DAY'S ALLOTMENT HINT.
TO-DAY'S ALLOTMENT HINT. The Tripolis are the best varieties of onion6 for August sowing, as most varie- ties, while sufficiently hardy to with- stand the winter, are prone to run to seed as &oon as the warm days of spring ar- rive. The two sorts known as Tripoli, Giant Iiocca and Lemon Rocca, are usually the most satisfactory, and the seed of these should be sown before the middle of the present month. The drills should be drawn one foot apart, on beds prepared, about four teet wide, and the drills drawn across the bed. If treated in this manner weeding and hoeing may be done without treading on the bed. Long spells of wind and rain usually do more harm to autumn sown onions than severe frost, hence the neces- sity of selecting a sheltered position for the bed. It is also desirable to assist the plants during very storiny weather by sticking a few branches of heather or spruce along the rows, but these should be removed whenever the weather is at all fine, or they will tend to cause the plants to become very tall and lanky.
