RUMOURS.
EX-OFFICER ALLEGES CON- SPIRACY BY WAR OFFICE,
A former officer of the 5th (Royal Irish) Lancers and ex-member of the House of Commons, who alleges that he has been the victim of a War Office conspiracy, which arose out of false rumours spread by a beautiful widow to whom he was once engaged, hos presented a petitition to Parliament pleading that his case should be reopened and investigated.
It is understood that the question will be raised in Parliament.
The petitioner is, Major W. A. Adam. In his petition he quotes A letter which he sent to the Secretary for War in November 1929 (Sir Laming Worthington Evans), and in which he reviewed
the whole case"
Ordered to Resign. Among the statergents which Major Adam made in the letter are these:--
The War Office, on December 1, 1000, ordered him to resign his com mission under the severest threat.
PLEA FOR A WORLD-WIDE BROTHERHOOD.
GAELIC CULTURE.
ΟΙ
This year's Celtic Conference, which lasted a full week, was open- ed in London recently, when in the forenoon the presidential "address was given at University College by the Rev. Dr. Maclean Watty Glasgow Cathedral. In the after. noon the official opening of the Congress was performed, at "His Majesty's Theatre, by Lord Howard de Walden, who briefly welcomed the delegates, from all the Celtic
nations.
Later, in the same place, the in- augural concert of contemporary Celtic music as given by Bliss Megan Foster, Miss Beatrice Har rison, Mr. Plunket Greene, and Mr. John McCormack, with the Virtuo so String Quartet and Mr. Leon Goossens (oboe), and Miss Gwen- dolen Mason (harp). In the even- ing the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoresa of London gave a civic reception to the delegates at the Mansion House.
In his presidential address Dr. Maclean Watt put in a strong plea for the building up of a great world. They belonged, he said, to Gaelic brotherhood throughout the

Sir John French's letter (the con- tents of which were not made known to Major Adam until 1925, when Lord Haldane read, the letter in Parliament) alleged no specific fault against Major Adam, and contained no suggestion that be should be ordered to resign his
commission.
Major Adam, in his letter, then dealt with the "other circum- stances" and what he surmised them to be.
"In 1895," he wrote, "I became engaged to a widow, Mrs. X, one of the most beautiful and charming women in London society. In 1503 I became aware that she was an inebriate, and in 1900 I reached the' conclusion that she was incurable, and most regretfully broke off cur engagement..

and whose blood was mingled in the veins of all living white folks. The Celt was not unlike the Jew in that he did not die, but differed from the Jew in that he mingled with other races.
A Gallant Survival.
through the changes and strife of The Celtic tongue had persisted generations. In Brittany and the British Isles there
were still 3,000,000 people using it and know.. ing it. It had survived bitter Parliamentary schemes for its de struction and educational methods which had 'ignored it and punished' the children who used it when they knew no other. It was only in 1802 that the Bible was translated into Gaelic.
It was their duty to see to it that Gaelic children were taught their own language so that they might preserve their own nation. ality and personality. A Gaelic geography and history should be provided for Celtie children, so that they should know the brave strug ge and passionate love of freedom and home which characterised their forefathers.

As the result of orders which are being placed by the Air Ministry the Royal Air Force will shortly have the fastest standard aircraft in the world. This is the Hawker "Hornet" Interceptor Fighter, and work has already begun on the construction of the first squadron.

It is a single-seater specially de- signed for the defence of London against daylight raids by the fastest bombers at present available to any foreign Power Such bombers have speeds of over 130 mp.h. at high altitudes, and to engage them with- out maintaining a constant patrol of the air calls for machines with a very rapid rate of climb and A speed of over 200 n.p.h. at 20,000 feet that ja, nearly four miles up.
