Press authority, I cannot be accuMd seriously of putting the candle in-the turnip and raising la bogy that is really dead. 'Since thefcjose of hostilities we have, been so much concerned with getting things going,; hot only in Ger­ many and on the Continent as a whole, but;also here at pomel that we are in danger of repeating the' glRve erroy of late; 1919 and mly 11920, when we persuaded ourseWes that German mill-' tarism wasismasned for ever, the ; true situation being that it|had been mereW andi temporarily pushed undernraund. We must have no repetition this time.

There is nb certainty even that[ Hitler is dead When a certain famous lawyer, was defending an alleged murderer! by questioning whether ! any murder had been committed, jhO ' dramatically deillanded, ” Produce! the corpse 1" So far, the body of Hitler has escaped the closest scrutiny. Myself I have an open mind about , it. He riiay be dead right- enough, but on the !other hand appa^ rentiy no one would be surprised , if Hitler turned up alive and full,of the same malice .which actuated his tactics at; Munich. and elsev^fhere.

Perhaps it will be riot without interest if I relate something of theta [life as I knew it, especially theta superstitions-|- it will take more than one article—for in those days they were immersed in every (form of superstition. ! For, example: An Arab woman used to do my washing in Baghdad. ’The washing was, collected and delivered’ by her daughter. On njakirig one delivery the daughter showed me some marks on my shirt. I askra her how came they. The reply was that the marks were of henna (a pasre made of pounded flowers and useq by Arab women for dyemg theta nai s) and that the wash­ ing had be^ done by the jtans, other­ .wise hobgbbltas or spirits. “But how
