COAL MINES IF WALES IN B|C
 COMBINE

LONDON, Aug. 10. - The greatest coal combine known to the United Kingdom has just been effected by Lord Rhondda, better known to Am ericans as D. A. Thomas, the Welsh coal magnate. He has brought into the Cambrian Combine, of which he is managing director, between $500 and 4,000 acres of the richest portion of the South Wales coal fields belong ing to D. Davis & Sons, Ltd. The deal involves the transfer of the collieries of the Welsh Navigation Steam Coal Company, Ltd, acquired three years ago by Davis X Sons for $l,574,25O. The combine places Lord Rhondda at the head of an organization with a capital of $17765,17O.
 Public interest has been so much concentrated in the war that, outside business and financial circles, practi- cally no interest has been taken in the gigantic effect of the deal. It is that the Consolidated Cambrian Com bine controls now all of the fields pro ducing the renowned steam coal which has contributed so much to the su- premacy of the British mercantile ma rine, and which has been said to con stitute the life of the British navy. It is said that there is no coal in the world with a higher reputation for bunkering purposes, and that more record runs by ocean craft between New York and Liverpool have been made with this coal than with any other.
 Details of the deal are not available, but it is understood that the market value of the shares of D. Davis & Sons, Ltd, have appreciated in value recent, ly from $7,67e,125 to $10.O40.625.
 The great combine will have an an nual output of 6.O00,0O0 tons.

use the communications trenches where he would be out of sight of the enemy, because that line is crowded always with soldiers going to and from the front line. with wounded be- ing carried back, with men of the com missary department carrying prOvis- ions to the men on guard. That is too slow a route for the courier of Verdun: he must take his chances of being sighted-and hit-above ground.
 The first formidable obstacle to pass is the zone that is beaten by drum fire" where S-inch, 6-inch and finch shells are bursting with formidable explosions. sending showers of shrap- nel over the whole zone. It going through this ordeal, the courier sees everywhere the spectacle of death, stumbles over corpses, sometimes runs into cloud of poison vapor before he has crossed 1t: once through, he is within range of the smaller German guns and the quick firers.
 During the whole distance of a mile or two miles, according to the position, his nerves are at the highest tension, with his mind on the end of his mis- sion and at the same time on the ob- stacles that are multiplied each in stant in his path.
 Some of these couriers get through untouched, others crawl back to the starting point bruised or maimed. Some of them never come back to tell the story of their heroic effort.
 The couriers of Verdun maintained communication from the rear with the heroic troops under the orders of Commandant Raynal - company of 142nd infantry, and machine gun section of the 53rd who held the Fort of Vaux for several days against overwhelming numbers of assailaHts. They were all volunteers selected from a considerable number of men who offered themselves for the dangerous mission. One of them was a boy of the contingent of 1916, of childish as- pect, who every time volunteers were asked for was the first man to the front. "He had scarcely returned from one of these perilous missions" said his captain. "when he pleaded to be sent out again" Another, literally riddled by fragments of shell that had burst in his path, had dragged himself back, though unable to rise to his feet. saluted his colonel and said: ."Colonel, I am done for, but l have of my mission" He made his report got enough left in me to give account and that was the end of his service for his country
