WHITE Russian General, once a trusted adminis- trator under the Tzar, is the inspiration of Ger- many's secret military plans for the eventuality of war with the U.S.S.R., details of which I am able to dis- close to-day, writes a London Sunday Chronicle re- presentative.
These plans, which contain a complete strategy for a Russian campaign, have been evolved by General Ludwig Beck, Germany's greatest military genius, in collaboration with General Skoro- patsky, last Governor-General of the Ukraine under the Tsarist regime.
Here is the complete scheme, both military and diplomatic, that Germany has prepared for a conflict with Russin.

·OU cannot muzzle your wife," said Mr. Justice Bennett when hearing an application to commit Mr. Edward Stuteley, of Streatham Vale, S.W., for breach of an order made by the Court of Appeal to prevent his wife being a nuisance to the neighbours.
It was alleged that, in her husband's absence at work, Mrs. Stuteley "cried loudly and persistently, made whining noises and uttered weird mouns and groans.”
Mr. Justice Bennett: What is the husband to do? How can he
stop her?
