V ■ INVASION OF ENGLAND -0 GRAPHIC STORY OF THE INDIAN TROOPS IN ACTION. The Press Bureau on Sunday issued a long account, by an Indian Eye-Wit- ness," of the operations around Ypres of the Lahore Division of the Indian Army Corps from April 26th to May 1st of this year. After recalling the heroism of the British troops during the first battle of Ypres, more than eight months ago, he sketched briefly the circumstances which led up to the second violent struggle on the same ground. The writer prefaces his description of the operations with an in- teresting story of the rumours that were prevalent at the time of the character of the German plans for the invasion of this country. About the middle of October. he says, after the failure of their grand attempt, on Paris, the German forces be- Iran to mass in enormous strength for the commencement of the supreme effort to get to Dun- kirk and Calais. It was said that the Kaiser had given orders that Calais was tQ be taken, even at a loss of 350,000 men. All sorts of fantastic stories were current, cne being that the Germans, having taken Calais, intended to push out heavy guns !to a considerable distance across the channel on a kind of raft with a view to it he bombardment of Dover, and as much of Kent as possible. That there was gome substratum of truth in these stories was rendered pro- tJable by the recent bombardments cf Dunkirk by means of 17in. guns. It was even hinted, in the charming frank tnanner peculiar to the German, that a fresh surprise for us was up the enemy's sleeve in the shape of 24in. guns, whose Tange, greatly superior to that of the 17m. gun, would overcome the increased dis- tance from Calais to Dover. A further plan consisted in laying a •triple mine field from the French towards the English coast, thus cutting off Ports- mouth and Plymouth from the quickest route to the North Sea. German ships would, of course, be able to get through by channels known only to them. Heavily- «rmed forts, as ncll as airship sheds, were 10 he hnili along the French coast, and Dritish r-ommeréü wa to be straageld by the raids of aircraft and submarines. Thp-p plans were merely accessor)- to a main idea with which Germany was and is obsessed, namely, the invasion of England. The weak point in the programme is the quest ion as to how trarsports for the landing ot troops in England were to be brought to Calais. This question has so tar not been answered. Unfortunately for the Germans, the necessity for a solu- tion of I he problem did not arise. They iound ioes more han worthy 0: their f-:teel, and, after a most sanguinary and flong di\i\»n_ont battle, their first attempt to reach ("alais ended in a decided set-back for themselyp^. The Evc-W itue«s proceeds:—On 3rd April warning was received for the Lahore Division to be in readiness to move at abort notice and, on the 24th. the division, under the wmmand of Major-General H. D. Keary, Parted in two columns on its march to "*pres. The bearing of the troops left nulling to be desired, and their theers as thry marched past the corps commander e-echoed down the village street and testified to their eagerness to meet their oldeneiny on new ground. The three brigade comprising the division were under Kigadier-General Strickland, jBrigadier-Gencal Egerton and Brigadier- tieneral Walke. The head of the division arrived at the ratments near Ypres at fcbout, 10 a.m. n April 25th, tired after the long and trvng march, but as keen as ever. Late thr night instructions ar- irived from the ad Army Commander for everything to b in readiness to march at I) a.m. on the'ollowing morning. The exact position o the enemy's line was practically unknu n to us, while his guns had had ample oportunity to register on viny possible posit)11 whid. we might take Up.

TWO GUINEAS FOR A GOOSE. I Zurich.—Riotous scenes were witnessed in the poultry market at Brunn last Monday, when a peasant woman de- manded fifty crowns (two guineas) for a fat goose. The public were so infuriate that it was all the police could do to save the woman from being lynched. She was arrested and charged with extortion, when she pleaded that the fattening of the goose had cost her thirty crowns, and as it weighed 22lb., the price she asked was after all cheaper than that demanded for beef. The magistrate fined her thirty crowns and sent her to prison for four days.—Reuter

BRIDGE BUILDING. YSTRADGYNLAIS COUNCIL'S INVESTIGATIONS. At a meeting of the Ystradgynlais Coun- cil a month ago it will be remembered that Councillor S. J. Thomas, of Gurnoe, withdrew from the meeting, having dis- qualified himself as a member through an account rendered to the Finance Com- mittee in regard to Tirgof Bridge. The bill had been presented by Mr. Gwilym Morgan, a blacksmith, of Gurnoe, and in it were found several items to be paid to Councillor Thomas in connection with work done to the bridge. A committee was formed at the time, and at Thursday's meeting their report. which is of an important character, as read by Councillor J. Howells. Mr. S. J. Thomas, who had been asked to attend, was present. Mr. Howells read the report, which was to the effect that they had made careful inquiries into the items that made up the bills. They had seen Mr. G. Morgan, the blacksmith, and Mr. Daniel S. Thomas, the haulier, and they found that the accounts were very unsatisfactory. In regard to the labour they found that one item was as follows: S. J. Thomas, 1701- hours at Is. per hour, £8 10s. 6d. Leyshon Thomas, 2 days at 5s. Garfield Williams, 5 days at 5s. 6d. There was one other item which needed explanation. Mr. Daniel S. Thomas, the haulier, charged 2s. 6d. for fetching tar from the gas works. The blacksmith said it was Garfield Williams that fetched the tar from the gas works. Who were they, as a committee, to be- lieve? With regard to the time worked by S. J Thomas, they found that he was h's own timekeeper. He gave the black- smith the number of hours he wonted every day. The blacksmith went up to his house every evening to get the num- ber of hours. Mr. Howells next read the contents of the amended account sent in by Mr. G. Morgan, the blacksmith. Proceeding with the report, he said that with regard k> the materials of the old bridge, the Surveyor wrote to the farmers of the neighbourhood asking them to send ten- ders for the purchase of the materials of the bridge. No tender was received, but \he committee found that Mr. S. J. Thomas offered the materials of the old bridge to Mr. T. Williams, Tyrgof Farm, for S2 on condition that Mr. S. J. Thomas was to have the five best planks for his own use at his house. Mr. Williams re- fused. Mr. Howells went on to say in his general remarks that he paid a second and third visit to Mr. G. Morgan in order to get full information concei-ning the bridge. When questioned in regard to the weight of the materials, Mr. Morgan said they were all weighed at John Davies, the butcher, of Gurnos. During another con- versation he told Mr. Howells that he knew nothing about the weight except the k new nothing abolit. weight of the iron. He would not say where they were weighed. He (Mr. Howells) further questioned Mr. G. Morgan as to whether he was satisfied as to the ntimber of hours worked by Mr. S. J. Thomas. In reply Mr. Mor- gan said that he was working from early morning till late at night, and that the bridge was ready in one week. Mr. Howells pointed out that Mr. S. J. Thomas had worked lïOt hours, which would mean 60 hours per week for three weeks except one day. Mr. G. Morgan gave no satis- factory explanation. He (Mr. Howells) then questioned Mr. Morgan as to the shilling per hour paid to Mr. S J. Thomas, and in reply Mr. Morgan said that he was fully worth it, as he was working like an animal." Mr. Howells went on to report that later he visited Mr. Daniel S. Thomas, the haulier, and he questioned him as to whether the materials were weighed. Thomas said that nothing was weighed except 13cwt. of eand from Mr. Arthur Griffiths. He also said that he got the materials from the foundry of Mr. S. J. Thomas. The materials were sand, iron, cement, and planks. The haulier also said that Mr. S. J. Thomas lent some planks for the bridge, and that he (the haiilier, took them back together with some of the timber of the old bridge. Proceeding, Mr. Howells said that he had visited Cwmgwve House and made inquiries about one item in the bill of Mr. Morgan's second account, which was as follows:— Paid for use of yard house to keep cement and tools under cover, .4. 9d. He questioned the landlord as to whether he- had been paid, and his reply was that he had received 2s. Mr. Rees Williams, the roadman, had told the speaker that Mr. S. J. Thomas was not on the bridge until half-past seven in the morning, and that he was not there later than 5 p.m. except on the two quarters when they worked altogether. Mr. S. J. Thomas had mentioned himself that he only worked a few days. In conclusion, Mr. Howells said the committee were not prepared to recom- mend paying the accounts until the Coun- cil was clear as to the legal aspect of the qlieRtÍon. Mr. S. J. Thomas said he had come there to give evidence on his own behalf as far as his knowledge went in regard to the bridge. The Surveyor (Mr. Thomas Watkins) also reported that he had gone into the accounts, but he regretted that he had no satisfactory report to make. Before Mr. Thomas was allowed to make any statement, Mr. J. Howells mentioned that Mr. G. Morgan had ad- mitted to him that Mr. S. Thomas- was joint with him in the bill. Mr.-Thomas, in his statement, said that. before the bridge was erected they had to get tools. He admitted making arrange- ments to prepare materials for the bridge and he had to get up at four o'clock in the morning to do so. He worked then until about 5.30. and sometimes later, in the evening. He thought he. was doing something on behalf of the Council, but now he found he had gone against him- self. He strenuously denied that any of the goods came from his foundry, and he failed to see why his foundry should be dragged in. After discussion, it was decided to call a special meeting in order that Mr. G. Morgan should attend. I

WAITING FOR FATHER. I CWMBWRLA BOY'S SAD DEATH. The Swansea Deputy Borough Coroner (Mr. Glyn Morris) held an inquiry at Cwmbwrla into the sad circumstances surrounding the death of Elwyn Thomas Richards, aged four, of 239, Car- marthen-road, Cwmbwrla, who was killed on Wednesday evening by being knocked down by a, motor lorry. Deceased's father, Mr. A. Rees Richards, tinworker. said the lad had been waiting for him to return from work. He did not know of the accident until his elder son, William Joseph, rushed into the house with the news. Charles Henry Ball, 52, Cecil-street, Manselton, the driver of the lorry, said that he was travelling at the most about six to eight miles an hour. As he came up to the wagon, something shot across the fron.t of the bonnet of the motor. He applied the-brakes immediately, but felt no impact. Deceased uttered no cry whatever. It was the custom, when pass- ing another vehicle, to sound the horn, and witness did so. The Coroner remarked that it was a common practice among children to run behind these vehicles and dart out at odd moments without looking ahead. He thought this should be a warning to others. A verdict of Death due to injuries received through being knocked down by a motor," was returned.

I AN AMMANFORD HERO. I Welcome to Distinguished Guardsman. A complimentary concert to a wounded hero of the battle of Ypres, Pte. J. Thomas, 1st Grenadier Guards, was given at Ammanford. Thomas was wounded in October last after some very fierce fighting, being struck in the left side and arm by shrap- nel bullets, necessitating his detention in Lincoln Hospital for nine months, where he will again return next week. It is feared that he is partially disabled. He was accorded a tremendous recep- tion. The Ammanford Silver Band (Mr. D. Thomas) met him at the station, and playing See the Conquering Hero Comes," headed a procession through be- flagged streets to the Y.M.C.A., where the meeting was held. The lecture hall was filled out, and ringing cheers greeted Thomas as he ascended the stage. Mr. G. de Warren, managing director of the Parke and Blaina Collieries, pre- sided, and paid high tribute to Private Thomas. He had returned to Amman- ford with a mark of honour on him, and was a worthy representative of those who had done their best and sacrificed their all in the country's cause; in appearance an ordinary man, but one who had done extraordinary things. (Cheers.) An interesting part of the proceedings was the presentation to Thomas of a handsome dressing case and a purse of gold containing over £20, which had been subscribed to by the public, and particu- larly the workmen of the Pantyffynon Colliery, where he was employed prior to being called up. The gifts were handed over by Mr. Lewis Rees, Garnswllt, and Pte. Thomas feelingly voiced his thanks. Mr. J. Harris, J.P. (Irlwyn) mentioned that all local soldiers returning from the front would be similarly welcomed. A capital musical programme had been arranged by Mr. Evan Bassett, theartistes being Mr J. R. Evans (baritone), Madame Agnes Thomas (contralto), Mr. Tom Wil- liams (tenor), Master Horatia Jenkins (violinist), Master Harry Richards (Garn- swllt), Mr. Morgan Davies (.elocutionist), Miss Gwen Thomas (soprano), and Madame Fowler-Williams (soprano).

in his attempt anll leturad under a hail of bullets, carrying the gun. Sepoy ^aji Khan, 129th Baluchis, volunteered to carry an important mes- sago under the heaviest shell and ride hre. lie had scarcely crossed a quarter of the intervening space when he was hit by a bit of shell. Although badly wounded and almost knocked out by the concussion, he managed to crowl on and deliver his message. For this he has re- ceived the Indian Order of Merit, second class. At about 2.20 p.m. the Man- chesters on the right, with portions of the Connaught Rangers, 129th Bahichis, and 57th Hides, reached a point some 80 yards from the German trenches. At the same moment the iOth Pathans and 47th Sikhs, on the left, also came up and got to within 50 yards of the enemy under a murderous fire. At this juncture the enemy let loose dense clouds of asphyxiating gas, from which the French Colonials and the left of the Ferozopore Bridge were the chief sufferers, although the whole of our line was more or less affected by it. At such a short distance the density of the gas I was more than any troops in the world, unprovided with any form of protection against this foul device, could stand, and they were forced to give way, their retire- ment affecting a great part of our line. By this time the ground was covered with the bodies of killed and wounded, while numbers of men were either unconscious or were writhing in the extremest agony from the effects of the gas which the Ger- mans claim to be the most humane method of warfare. The position was one to appal the stoutest heart, but undis- mayed a small party of some 60 Con- naught Rangers and about 50 of the Man- chesters fell back a few yards and suc- ceeded in digging themselves in. With these brave men were small parties of the 40th Pathans, 47th Sikhs, and 129th Balcuhis. Jemadar Mirdask, 55th Coke's Kifles, attached to the 57th Rifle. re- mained with some of his men in the Brit- ish trench in spite of the volumes of gas and the ceaseless point-blank fire which I the enemy poured upon them. After dusk he was ordered to retire, which lie did, collecting a number of men on the way, and subsequently assisted in bringing in eight wounded British and Indian officers under heavy fire, being himself wounded in doing so. For his most conspicuous gallantry throughout the action Jemadar now (Subadar) Mirdask. has been awarded the Victoria Cross. an honour which has fallen to the lot of three other Indian soldiers. Finding it impossible to push forward re- inforcements to the Manchesters and Connaught, General Keary decided to make a further attempt to push the at- tack in co-operation with the French. Accordingly, at about 7.45 p.m.. the 15th Sikhs and the lst-4th Gurkhas advanced for La Brioue with the 9th Bhopal In- fantry in support, the whole being under the command of Lieut.-Col. J. Hill, ioth Sikhs. The advance was (arried out with great resolution and rapidity and, by tak- ing advantage of every fold in the ground, we succeeded in advancing to a distance of some 300 yards beyond the old British trenches and in establishing ccnncctioH with the French on the left cud Major DeaconJs party on the right. During the night a very daring and use- ful reconnaissance was carried out, which restrted in determining the lie of the Ger- man position, and rendered it possible to make more exact plans for the attack on the following day. In connection with this reconnaissance the wri-ter especially singles out the gallant work of Captain F. H. Kisch, Captain F. P. Nosworthy, R.E d-iid Lieutenant H. W. R. Hamilton, R.E. Describing the attack on April 27th the "Eye-Witness" states that the action developed into a fine fight, which con- tinued till 4 p.m. The 1st Gurkhas were here reinforced by the 4th King's (Liver- pool), under the command of Lieut.-Col. S. A. Allen. This fine Territorial bat- talion advanced by rushes in. the face of heavy fire and carried the line forward to a distance of some 300 yards from the Germans, under the leadership of Major E. M. Be-all, who has received the Dis- tinguished Service Order for his gallantry on this occasion. An incident described by the writer re- lated to an unarmed German, who was seen to come out of the enemy's trenches and walk slowly towards the French line. Just as he arrived there and was about to get into the trench he was shot by the Germans. The 15th Sikhs sustained a very serious loss by the death of Lieut.-Colonel Vivian and Major Garden. Colonel Vivian had to rush with his company over a fire- swept zone to join the remainder of the regiment. Just as he arrived he was shot through the body. His loss was keenly felt, as he was an officer in whom the regi- ment had the greatest confidence. Major Carden met his deatl^ in going to the assistance of Captain Muir, who wa6 mor- tally wounded. He was put on a stretcher, and as he was being taken away both bearers were hit, and dropped him. Two more men picked up the stretcher, and Major Carden was then hit again. It was feared that the company of High- land Light Infantry, which had relieved Major Deacon's party at 2 o'clock that morning, had cither been overcome or forced to retire by asphyxiating gas, but later the company was found to have held on with the utmost bravery. This splendid effort, however, cost the life of the gallant company commander. Captain H. S. Tar- rant. Nothing, further could be done, so the position gained was consolidated, the Highland Light Infantry taking over the line, while the Gurkhas and the 4th King's were withdrawn to re-organise. By 9 p.m., connection had again been es- tablished with the French.
