As the St. Gotthard is the key. point of the Swiss defences and fying over it, therefore, strictly prohibited, it was at frat believed that the lone aviator, who is on Italian named Giovanni Gossignosi, had made the flight for the Italian intelligence service in ordet to spy out the Swiss defence system.

100,000 Leaflets Dropped. However, this theory was aban- doned when it was learned that on Friday afternoon an unidentified aeroplane flying at great altitude had dropped approximately 100,000 anti-Fascis leaflets over the city of Milan where the police and militia were called out to prevent the crowds from picking up the leaflets which violently attacked the Fascist régime.

Before her marriage Mrs. Edel- ston was motoring with the doctor and it was alleged he had a col- lision through driving downhill at

It was stated the parties are hap- pily married and the action was really against an

Mr. Justice MeCardie said the action called in striking fashion for a review of the legal results that followed marriage in England at the present time. Husbands were placed under burdens from which wires were free, and it seemed there was no method whatever which enabled a husband to recoup himself from his wife.

Husband and wife are one in law" was written 300 years ago, and since then that doctrine of unity had led to innumerable com!

It is, therefore, now assumed that Gossignosi is "identical with that mysterious pilot who was respon sible with the Milan leaflet har rage and that he lost his way when chased by a cumber of Italian battle planes which were sent up by the Italian authorities in order to bring the machine down on Italian territory, The Swiss - thorities now believe that this verplexities. sion is right inasmuch as it was I find it difficult," he said, "to found out that the smashed machinesee how the doctrine of unity can' was registered in the name of the director of the Paris royalist news paper Action Francaise which is decidedly anti-Fascist.

"Husband and wife have their individual outlook. They may be long to different political parties, to different schools' of thought. The wife may be counsel in the court against her husband; the husband may be counsel against his wife. Nevertheless, there seemed to be a sound sociological basis for the view that in certain respects there should be a pre- sumption of modified unity between husband and wife.

Mrs. Edelston's case was that the confirmed

negligence of her husband before marriage gave her the right of action against him.

A Daring Feat. Berne, July 13.-The Italian flyer Bassanesi, the victim of the mys terious accident on the St. Gott hard glacier, who is lying in the military hospital at Andermatt to day, recovered sufficiently to make a statement where he with and aviator who, or Friday afternoon, dropped thousands of anti-Fascist leaflets over Milan and that he had

lost his direction back to Le Bour- get aerodrome when pursued by Italian military 'planes which were sent up by the authorities as soon as the nature of the leaflets had been found out.

It was well settled that the wife has the widest powers of action for the protection and security of her separate property add for that pur- pose she could sue for breach of contract and tort. She could, also claim an injunction in the most striking circumstances. But in his work

Bassanesi also stated that on his way from Paris to Milan he bad
