LONDON, Sept. 22.-Lord LANDAU is air
ing a curious grievance. The advertise
ment columns recently contained the an
nouncement of the birth of a child to
Countess LANDAU. AS Lord LANDAU is a
bachelor Che was born in 1896 and was
home secretary from 1886 to 1922, the an
nouncement caused him some annoyance
and mystification, which was only ex-
planned by the fact that child was born to
the wife of a man named Matthew, who,
two years ago, announced his intention of
assuming the title of Earl LANDAU. This
announcement appears to be his only quail
fication for the peerage.
