Hess Escaped To "Save Humanity

Special to the “Telegraph”

LONDON, May 13 (UP).-Rudolf Hess fled to England with a fanátical desire to "save humanity" from the tragedy of a full Russo-German partnership, British quarters declared to-day.

This sensational theory was advanced after it had been dis- closed that the Hess plane was riddled with Splifire bullets. It is reported that Hess' first words were "I have come to save. humanity."

Terms

For Mediation By Turkey

ANKARA, May 13 (Reuter).-Raschid All's terms for Turkish mediation, delivered by Sayid Shawkat, the Iraqi Defence Minister, are reliably reported to be as follows:

(1) British troops landing at Basra should not remain there but proceed to A

destination outside Iraq;

(2) Raschid All, while agreeing to an increase in the number of British troops in Iraq, insists that such increase and, the manner it is carried out must be determined and settled by a joint Anglo-Iraq Commission.

Since these two points are contrary to the terms of the Anglo-Iraqi Treaty, it is felt in Ankara that there is very little chance of Shawkat's visit being successful to the rebels.
