In his interview Lord Rothermere, drew attention to the urgent need for Government aid for British trade and shipping to the Far East, and his sentiments were warmly applauded by. everyone in Britain who have real knowledge of the grave dangers threatening this commerce.

In welcoming the decision of the British Government to send Mr. William Kirkpatrick, former Conservative M.P. for Preston, on a special mission to study conditions on the apot, Rothermere told the "Telegraph" representative:

Carlisle, Nov. 5.

N admission by Miss Gladys Cooper that she was in love with another man was mentioned at Carlisle Assizes to-day when her husband, Sir Neville Pearson, Bt., was granted a decree nisi against her.

Mr. Philip Merivale, an actor, was cited as co-respondent. Neither he nor Miss Cooper was represented.

Sir Neville's case was that he lived happily with Miss Cooper, whom he married in June 1928 ut Dorking, until January 1934. when she went to the United States to act in a play in New York. On her return her attitude completely changed. Eventually deed of separation was drawn up and his wife went to the United Stales again.

As Source Of Epidemic

HOMESIDE SCARE

Strong criticisms of the Minis. try of Health in regard to the nation's milk supply were made by Mr. J. H. Maggs, Chairman of United Dairies, at the annual meeting in London recently.

Ile referred to the "Ceplorable, unnecessary, and easily prevent- ablo" milkborne epidemic which hnd recently raged at Bourne- mouth, and made an urgent plea for the universal pasteurisation of milk.

It was an amazing fact, he said, that the purity of the milk supply was still dependent on the voluntary action of distributors. There was no law to require the pasteurisation of milk, and should an epidemic occur, the activities of medical officials were confined to preventing the spreading of infection. He described the Bournemouth epidemic as "outrage."
