·LORD INVERCLYDE.
ACTION AGAINST HIS 10
YEARS OLD WIFE.
The lists of the Court of Session issued at Edinburgh include an ac tion by Lord Inverclyde, of Castle Wemyss, Renfrewshire, against biz wife, Lady Inverclyde, whose ad- dress is given as the Curzon Hotel, Curzon-street, Mayfair.
The nature of the action is not disclosed, and Lord Inverclyde's solicitors refuse to make any state
ment..:
Lord Inverclyde, who is the fourth Baron, is 30 and married in November 1928 Miss Olive Sains bury, the 18-year-old daughter of Mr. Arthur Sainsbury, of Glouces ter House, Park-lane, W., one of the heads of the provision firm of Messrs. J. Sainsbury, Ltd.
He succeeded to the title in 1919, his father leaving an estate valued at more than £2,000,000. Formerly
Pathans, hard never fred a shot without regarding themselves as battling in the cause of religion.
Their terms Ghazi, the religious warrior; Shaheed, the martyr; and the styling of even the smallest frontier affray as a Jehad, a Holy War, are outstanding examples of this tendency. Invariably these. wars have been either provoked or stopped by the priestly influence.
It was the power of the Clergy that helped Amir Abdur Rahman Khan-who made Afghanistan a kingdom to consolidate his posi- tien. His success in Chitral and Kafiristan was won through the Mullahs; nor did the late Amir underestimate the usefulness of the Doctors of Religion.
The last Khost rebellion, during the first year of King Amanullah's reign, sufficiently shows how dan- gerous it may prove to dely the priesthood in Afghanistan. So de- voted are the hill folk to their. religious teachers that they have never fought for a nation but only in the name of Islam. The heart of the Turkish soldier has scarcely ever responded to that call in quite the same manner, and religion to him does not inspire in him the same glow of enthusiasm.
Furthermore, the Ghazi of An-
