Germany's Biggest Plane Crashes During Test

Berlin, To-day. Disaster overtook Germany's biggest aeroplane "Der Grosse Dessauer,' the most recent achievement of the Junkers' Works, when it got out of control and crashed to earth whilst making a trial flight to test the effect of a new invention for giving increased stability and speed by production of propulsive wing vibra- tion.

New York, Jan 25, A Doctor with a hypodermic syringe bent over a semi-conscious figure in Memphis, Tennessee, Bap- tist Memorial Hospital to-day. He gently injected into a vien a glucose solution. The figure in the bed stirred weakly as though protest- ing, then relapsed into sleep in- duced by sedatives.

That was how the 22-day fast of Dean Israel Harding Noe was bro- ken-not because he had agreed to abandon his attempt to prove, by taking neither food nor water, that man is an immortal being who can live by spiritual food alone, but because the doctors took on them- selves the last desperate attempt to save his life.

Before the war General Aziz Ali served as an Ottoman officer in Macedonia, Albania, the Yemen and Tripoli.

His success and his influence with the Turkish Army aroused

Enver Pasha's jealousy, and Aziz Ali's life was at one time not worth a day's purchase. During the war

ago he entered upon a diet of or- anges and nuts, and at the end of last year had cut himself down to

a few oranges a week and no water. On January 2 he gave up oranges and since then has taken only Com- munion wine and water. He planned to gave up that, believing that when he did he would be existing on a purely spiritual plane.

the British sent him on various CAGOULARD PLOT TO

missions in Arab countries.

He is remarkably active and a strict disciplinarian. He is a man of original ideas, as was shown during his term as Commandant of the Police School, where he re- volutionised training.
