EN ROUTE FOR AZORES
EN ROUTE FOR AZORES Three American Seaplanes. FLIGHT ACROSS ATLANTIC. WASHINGTON, Friday (received Saturday). The Navy Department officially an- nounces a start of the trans-Atlantic flight Ttjy three seaplanes: N.C. 1., III., I and IV., which are en route for the Azores. RIBBON OF DESTROYERS. I WASHINGTON, Friday (received Saturday). It is officially stated that the American seaplanes passed the destroyer Ward, which is acting as a station ship 300 miles from Trepaseey, at 2.5 a.m., Greenwich time. The route to the Azores is marked out by a. ribbon of destroyers 50 miles apart. 60 MILES AN HOUR. I St. JOHN'S, Friday (rec. Saturday). Cape Race reports that all three Ameri- can seaplanes passed there at 8 o clock. The seaplanes, after a four hours satisfac- tory test, rose at Trupaasey shortly after seven o'clock, at four minutes interval, and, in a triangle formation, with the NC 3 leading, headed eastward at 60 miles an hour. [ FATE OF C5. I ST. JOHN'S, Friday (rec. Saturday). The destroyer Edward, after vainly searching a radius of 20 miles, where the airship C5 is reported to have fallen in the sea, has returned. The opinion is that the hopes of recover- ing the airship must be abandoned. I GALE AND FOG. I The Air Ministry report of the weather conditions along the Atlantic course states that reports received from. ships this morning indicate that a depression in Eastern Atlantic is approaching Ireland. Within 500 miles of Valencia almost a.ll reports show winds of gale force, skies completely overcast, with low rain clouds, and seas ranging from rough to mountain- ous. Within this region the conditions are totally unfit for aviation. Further depressions are centred in the Western Atlantic, and although the winds so far reported from this region are only of moderate force, the presence of rough seas seems to indicate strong winds. In the neighbourhood of Newfoundland banks of fog are reported.

"THAT THIN LINE"
"THAT THIN LINE" LORD FRENCH ON THE DEFENCE Oh VHiiti MR. ASQulIH REPLIES I In to-day's edition of the Daily Tele- graph," iield Marshal Viscount Lreucii. m his 1911 series of articles deals with the Battle of Ypres, operations which he describes as more monieiltous and fateful than any otiiers which he directed as Commander-in-Chief in the iieki. I still look back," he writes, in won- der on that thin line of defence, stretched, out of sheer necessity, far beyond its natural and normal power for defence. Right, centre, and left our men were tried and pressed as troops were never tiiea and pressed before. A lofty tower of some antiquity still stood by itself on the top of a commanding hill jnst east of Kem- niel. Jtg d»yg «ye«_then were numbered, and after being heavily shelled it was completely destroyed later in the battle. While this tower remained it made an excellent look-out post. I spent some time there on the 27th, wEen the crisis of the battle was approaching. THE 7th DIVISION, I » Sufficient recognition had never yet been given to tne glorious stand made by the cavalry corps under Allenby, and pain -cribute to the defenders of the Ipres sali- ent, the 9th (French) Army Corps, the 1st (British) Corps, and the 7th Division. Dealing with the desperate lighting on the 30th he writes: At dawn on Oct. 30 the 19th Brigade (2nd Batt. R. Welsh Fusiliers, 1st Batt. Scottish Rifles, 1st Batt. Middlesex Itegt., and 2nd Batt. Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders) car- ried out a brilliant counter-attack with the bayonet, heavily repulsing the enemy on the right of the 3rd Corps." MR. ASQUiTH REPLIES. I ¡ Lord Kitchener's Visit to Paris. Mr. Asquith took occasion in his speech at the Newcastle Liberal Club dinner on Friday night to reply to certain of the statements in Lord French's book, par- ticularly that relating to Lord Kitchener's visit to Paris. This visit was, he said, undertaken by the then Secretary for War at the request of the Cabinet in conse- quence of certain reports received from Lord French, and was productive of good results.

A London correspondent writes: With the approval of the Minister of Labour, the Interim Industrial Recon- struction Committee for the zinc and spelter industry has been formed into a Joint Industrial Council, with Mr. C. H. Eden as chairman, Mr. James Wignall, M.P., vice-chairman, and Mr. C.

THE PRINCE I THE RINGE ¡
THE PRINCE I THE RINGE ¡ ARRANGEMENTS FOR SWANSEA ViSIT We are now able to give still more defi- nite news of the visit of the l'rinoo of Wales to Swansea on June 27th. The Mayor (Councillor W. ijl. Miles) and the Town Clerk of Swansea went to Buck- ingham Palace on Friday afternoon and saw Sir Sidney Grevilie, the Prince's Comptroller, and Sir Godirey Thomas, his private secretary, with regard to the ar- rangements. Tile Prince, it was stated, is exceedingly pressed for time during his visit to tlie üoyai bho w at Cardiff, but he will be very pieased to come to the town of Swansea, jriis object in coming to the town will be to see the Mayor and the townspeople. | uniortunateiy, His ICoyai. Highness wiil not be able to remain long, as he has to be back in London on the nignt 01: June 27tn to fulfil another public engagement. Owing to pressure of time, thereto re, the visit will be quite an informal one, and will probably extend over only a few hours. Arrangements have been provisionally made, but until these have been finally appioved by the Prince they inuat be re- garded as confidential. There may be a visit to the docks, and possibly to one or two works. The matter will come before a meeting of the Parliamentary Committee in the near future, and may be mentioned at that committee on Monday, or at the special meeting of the Council which has already been convened to aeal with busi- ness alluded to in our columns on Friday. A CORDIAL WELCOME. No doubt the townspeople will be asked to give the Prince a very cordial welcome in every way, and to hang out flags and otherwise to do all in their power to pre- sent the town in its best possible aspect. A Cardiff contemporary's London corre- spondent gives the following as the Prince's programme:— On Monday. June 23, he will travel down to Cardiff by the afternoon train, and will proceed to Cardiff Castle, where he will be the guest of the Marquess of Bute. On Tuesday—in happy coincidence, the Prince's birthday—he will motor to the Rhondda Valley, where he will spend the greater part of the day studying the in- dustrial conditions of the district, and. incidentally, will go down a coal mine. On Wednesday he will spend the whole day at the Royal Show. On Thursday the ceremony of present- ing the freedom of the city, in the event of his Royal Highness* feeling able to aocept the honour, will take place, and will be followed in the evening by a great City Hall banquet given by the Lord Mayor, whose guests will also include representative men of the city and district and leading people ? connected wit? lt? show. On Friday the Prince will travel by an e&rty train to S, Where it is ex,1 pected he will be entertained at a civic luncheon before proceeding on his a toucr l Of the docks and other places of interest.

FUTURE OF TURKEY..I
FUTURE OF TURKEY.. I Paris, Saturday.—The "Petit Journal" says that the occupation of Smyrna indi- cates that the Allies consider the port incapable of governing the great poptita- tion which has been hitherto kept under their control. The dislocation of the Turkish Empire has I)een"devid(-d upon, and the crescent will be definitely banished from. Constan- tinople and Asia Minor. The protests of the Turkish Government will be backed up by any resistance that cannot be pro- nerlv crushed. BEGINNING OF THE END. I Paris, Saturday.—The occupation of Smyrna appears to Fercinas" as the beginning of the end. In a few weeks, he writes, perhaps in a few days, the Otto- man Empire win cease to exist after a rulo lasting five centuries. Out of the European remains of the old domination, the intent is the construction of two parts ,one of which will go to Greece, and with the other a new interna- tional state iyill be formed, with Con- stantinople placed under the mandate of America. The enterprise was offered to France, who, we believe, wisely refused it.- Exchange. I
FIVE DAYS LEFT.1 -
FIVE DAYS LEFT. 1 GERMAN ENVOYS MUST HURRY. Five days are now left to th'3 German envoys at Versailles in which to present their observations to M. Clemenceau on the peace terms. COUNT RANTZAU TO SIGN? According to Reuter's correspondent at Versailles, wiring yesterday, a secretary closely connected with Count Rantzau made the following statement to a pro- minent personage in reply to the ques- tion whether the Peace would be signed: You haw- dug your knee into the pit of our stomach and your thumbs into our eyes; how can we help signing under those conditions? The mere fact that Count Rantzau has waited twenty- four hours for the translation of the peace terms, not wishing to go by the French text, and that he has examined all the details, shows that lie has de- termined to sign. COURIERS LEAVE FOR GERMANY. PARIS, Saturday. Five German couriers arrived at Ver- sailles yesterday morning. After a long interview with Count Brockdorff-Rantzau, Prof. Max Weber, and two Privy Councillors, they left for Germany with confidential despatches.

I WOLFFE'S ; XT SWIM. .6.…
I WOLFFE'S XT SWIM. 6 I New Methods for Channel Attempt. Twenty-two unsuccessful attempts to conquer the Channel has not damped the ardour of Jabez Wolffe. A representativc- ot the "Daily Express" who interviewed the famous 6wimmer on Friday at Brigh- ton, where he is busy training for another Channel swim, found him looking in splen- did condition, and confident that his next attempt will result in his achieving his life's ambition. I have never been so fit in my life," Wolfe said, and I attribute this almost: solely to a new system of training, in which I begin the day at six a.m. by cycl- ing ten miles, after breakfast I swim fivj and after lunch walk five, and after that go for an hour's row in a skiff." Wolfe's jollity of manner changed for a moment as he relator the dramatic story of how the war robted him of a great op- portunity to get across in 1914. 1 had been waiting for some time in Boulogne harbour," he eaid, and at last there came the day for which I had waited eagerly for years. The sea was like glass and the tides unusually favour- able. Unfortunately, that day was the 4th of August, and when the news of the declaration of war came through the men in the steam tugs refused to put off." U This time," he added, I shall start fiom Dungeness and make for Cape Grisnez."
HOUSING CONFERENCE.
HOUSING CONFERENCE. Swansea Anticipates Board's Suggestions. An important conference was held at Cardiff on Friday, under the auspices of the Institute of Municipal Engineers. Swansea were represented by Mr. Percy Molynejix (chairman of the Housing Com- mittee), Mr. Ernest Morgan (the Borough Architect), and Mr. Heath (the Borough Surveyor) The deputy Lord Mayor of Cardiff, who opened the conference, stated that in Car- diff alone between 2,000 an? 3,000 houses were required to relieve the ?ngestion in the city. They hoped in near future to extend their boundaries, as all available land had been developed within the ex- isting limits of the city. TECHNICAL ADVISORS. SitOJaines Carmichael, Director-Genera" of Housing for the L.G.B., stated that the country was divided into 18,000 locai authorities. each with its own technical advisor. He considered these advisors as the most important members of the com- munity to-day. The Government had ap- pointed a housing group to look after the housing echemes of the various autho- rities, and he assured his hearers of the hearty co-operation of that group. It was the intention of the Government to erect during the next two years 300,000 houses. REGIONAL PLANNING. I Mr. Heaith emphasised the necessity for the due consideration of town in regional planning previous to Housing Schemes, but of course, not 00 as to delay materially the Housing schemes. He gave instances of this fact with reference to the Morris- ton Housing Schemte. He said that Swan- sea had been so eager to get on with the work that the local authority had antici- pated many of the Board's suggestions as put forward that day.
