Lord Erroll married in 1928 Lady Idina Gordon, sister of Earl De La Warr, and a daughter was born in 1926, They settled on a farm in Kenya directly after their marriage.
LOUVAIN FACADE.
ARCHITECT'S DISPUTE WITH RECTOR.
Paris, June 23. It is reported that Mr. Whitney Warren, an American architect who has, been supervising, the building of the new Louvain Library, is taking legal action against Monsignor. La Deuze, It was obvious also that ahe the rector of Louvain Univer- was a woman of very low charac-sity, ter and a liar. That might be the largely due to the influence of Lord Erroll.
There were no children to con- sider. Damages had not to be given by way of punishment One function of damages was to provide compensation to the hus band for the loss of his wife at the hands of the co-respondent. The extent to which the character of the wife contributed towards it was irrelevant.
Husband's Affection.
"I should have thought," added Mr. Justice Hill, "he (the hus band) was very well rid of a bad woman, but he does not take that view, and it is obvious that he had great affection for her-a very great affection."
While under the influence of Lord Erroll the wife evidently took to very bad. courses In Kenya, and ran up large accounts. The husband had to discharge the bills before he left Kenya. He was quite prepared to do that."
They amounted to about £2,000, and he (Mr. Justice Hill) thought. would meet the case. that if he added another £1,000 it

inscription, "Destroyed by German fury, re- stored by American generosity." Warren says the late Cardinal Mercier wished that there should be such an inscription, but La Deuze says his colleagues object because it is contrary to the spirit of Locarno, and that, furthermore the inscription is ex- pressed in bad Latin.
Tablets bearing Warren's in- scription arrived at Louvain from Brussels and were dumped from a waggon in front of the library, A police guard has been posted pending inquiries. The Belgian sculptor, Desoette, representing Warren, arrived at the scene and was taken to the police station. Warren later in the day lodged a complaint, after which Desoette was released. The stones have been placed in a warehouse.
EMPIRE IN FILMS.
HOME MARKETING BOARD' PLAN.
London, June 29. The political correspondent of "The Times" says: ""The Empire Marketing Board has established a Special sub-Committee to con- sider the production of films con- veying an impression what the Empire really is. The sub-Com- mittee is at present discussing the matter with Mr. Rudyard Kipling, whose co-operation is likely to be sought. It is not intended to pro- duce merely advertising or pro- paganda films, but to create ap- propriate backgrounds and meet the demand from many parts of the Empire for films giving a true idea of the daily life of the Mother country and the Domin- ions."

CHINA NEWS, LOCAL NEWS
AND ALL THE NEWS

Considerable significance is attached to the return of Wu Pei-fu who, three years ago was the strong man of China, is now reported to have placed himself at the head of 200,000 men along the Upper Yangtsze. His re-entry into the political arena at this stage, when the Nationalists have gained most of China Proper, may have much influence on events during the next year or two.
Latest developments are recorded in this week's "Overland China Mail" in which will also be found a series of special contributions from a political correspondent, dealing with several topics of moment. Possible peace between the Nation- alists and Manchuria is another subject referred to; also the position of Japan and other foreign Powers in relation to China's attitude on treaties.
The first typhoon of the season and the Court Martial of * Naval officer are among the most prominent of local events reported in the "Overland China Mail," the only illustrated weekly summary of "local" and "China" news.
WHEN YOU GO ON LEAVE.
Are you going Home on leave this year? If you are, you will be surprised by the number of persons who will ask you about China and Hong Kong. You will be astonished at the number and type of silly questions put to you in all good faith And you will have to admit reductantly (if only to yourself) that you are not quite certain. Will you be believed, though?. Keep in touch with Hong Kong and China by having the "Overland China Mail sent to you for a stipt- lated period.
By spending a little time while you are on holiday, YOU' can keep yourself well informed if you have the "Overland." The articles which you will seek are written to help non- Chinese to understand. In any case, you will not regret, from your own point of view, being posted with the main develop- ments (reported in brief) while you are away,
