WHO'LL BE BRITAIN'S WAB LORDS?-In the event of a second World War, who will lead Britain's forces? The answer is belieyed written by the Imperial Defence Committee and the Prime Minister in a secret war book to be opened only when war comes by the trusted secre- tary, Bir Maurice Hankey, lower lett. Popular speculation, however, places the naval forces In command of Vice-Admiral Sir Lockhard Harnam Noble, left centre, who last week became Commander-in-Chief China station, with Admiral Sir Roger Backhouse, lower right, as second cholce. Army commander is believed Lieutenant General John Greer Dill, right centre. I spen culation is correct, they will fill the Grst World War roles of Admiral John Jellicoe, top left, General Douglas Halg, top-centre, General John French, top right, and Admiral David Beatty, lower centre.
Gerardo Binchado, left, deposed president of Cuba, confers with his secretary, Fernando Villapol, before leaving a New York hospital, where he has been ill, for a trip to Bermuda. General Machado was recently cleared of charges of mass murder and embezzlement when the Caban legislature granted an amnesty to all political offenders,
Ill for nearly a year with a serious disease of the liver, Dowager Queen Marie of Humanis was despaired of, as mem- hers of the royal family were summoned to her bedside in Vienna, The above picture shows her about two years ago with her. youngest grandchild, daughter of Archduke Anton of Hapsburg and her daughter, Princess Ileana.
