His Sister Won't Listen To Traitor Colonel In Rome

Lieut.-Colonel Rocke has lived
in Italy for, some years, and it was recently announced that the War Office had stopped his pension.
While he lives in well-to-do cir- cumstances with his wealthy Ameri- can wife, his aged sister exists in poverty in a hamlet near Bere Regis, Dorset She occupies one room of a cottage, and her income is 9a, a week. Fighting Curries

Several large fires broke out as a result of the bombing, one of which was followed by a heavy explosion, Miss Currie said she come accompanied by a brilliant red flash.
