BURGLARS

Britain's most daring cat burglar, George William Enright, now 45, recently went back to pri- son to serve a sentence of four years' penal servitude passed on him at the Old Bailey, where he was found guilty of receiving two suitcases and £377.

Enright's proud boast was that he could climb any building. In Britain and on the Continent his funtastic exploits gained him the title, "The Human Fly." In the United States he was known as "The Monkey Man."

Enright was the first of the far the cat burglars, and by greatest of them all, yet this time he went to prison for an offence which, for him, is en- tirely out of character,

Daring Attempt

His most sensational adventure, however, was in 1928, when he tried to escape from the train. Enright had taken part in one of the most daring robbery attempts of modern ilmes.

There was known to be thousands of pounds worth of gems in the sate of a Newcratle jeweller. The raid was carefully planned, but a "ques- ler" warned the police, and when the ruiders entered the jeweller's pre- mises they were surprised by 50 vilcers.

Mrs. (or Frau) Louise Diel, a lady of charm and many accomplishments, is providing Dr. Goebbels with information and ideas on which he will base his noxt "drive" for British. colonics. She got a good deal of information from British mandated Tanganyika and from Kenya, whence she has just returned via Italian Somaliland, next door.

A few days ago, we are able to roveal. Frau Diel placed before Hitler her reactions following an extended tour of former German colonies in Africa. The war cut short her investigations. She escaped into neutral Italian territory from Mombasa and has been making her way home by devious routes.

Among the gems which Frau Diel brought to Berlin was an "address" from Kenya natives to Hitler, assuring him of their "Fidelity" as good "German negroes.

Stalin has rebuffed Hitler over Finland. Diplomatic sources reveal that Von Schulenberg, Nazi Ambassador to Moscow, met Molotov privately two days ago and informed him that in Hitler's view a peaceful settlement of the Finnish war would be welcomed in Nazi circles.

I should trent this second view with caution. There are 60,000 men in the German Navy. They are of high moral and their courage and their seamanship must be respected, Moreover, this German Navy, even more than

We should be foolish to resume that the Germans did not train muny U-boat seamen when they de- cided to base their main avat Atrategy on U-boat warfare. During the Spanish civil war the Germans passed a great number of men rapidly through sui- marine course.
