Mr. Eden has spoken of the "splendid work" of the guard, declaring "These troops have saved a large number of foreig lives."

The order to proceed to Addis Ababa came to him when he was in Poona last summer. His wife was then with him, but later she return- ed to England. The officers of the guard under him are Capt. G. A, E. Keene, Lieut. .R. A. Anthony, and Capt. T. E. Palmer, R.A.M.C.
Major and Mrs. Charter have two children-Elizabeth aged 12, and William, aged 7—both of whom were born in India. They are now being eduented in England.

The Court of Appeal recently allowed, with costs, the appeal of Mr. Herbert: George Latilla,__a financier, from the judgment of Mr. Justice Charles awarding £30,000 damages to Mr. Edward John Way, a mining engineer.
Damages were awarded for breach of agreement to give Mr. Way a pro-

BRITISH HOSPITAL BOMBED
The bombing of the British Red Cross unit at Quoram. Ethlopin, was repeated on threo successive days, and the result was the almost complete demolition of the unit's tents and equipment. A number of patients and attaches were killed and wounded in the bombings, some of the result of which are pictured in the accom panying scenes. At TOP, tents of the British Red Cross ambulance station are seen in background in the scene, that shows members of the outfit putting a wounded victim of the air raid on a litter. AL BOTTOM, the smouldering ruins of a hospital tent that caught fire and was destroyed. Fictured in BACKGROUND is a truck of the unit that was damaged by concussion of an exploiling bomb.

The Court refused leave to appeal Bill

Lord Justice Slesser, giving judg ment, sald Mr. Justico Charles had accepted the evidence of Mr. Way in preference to that of Mr. Latilla.. which he spoke of as "prevaricating, shuffling and in some cases patently untrue."
