 But what. is not known about either of them is that at one time they matched up a German British peace plan between them, after conferences with 8 we'll known Britisher in the United States.
 Princess Stefanie Hohenlohe- Waldenburg- Schillingsfuerst, Vi- enna born, is about AS years old, a woman of great culture and charm, who attracts many ad- mirers. She has friends in a1- most every capital of Europe, once was called 'London,s lead- ing Nazi hostess" The late Lord Rothermere, just before war broke, cooperated with the Princess in an appeasement pro- gram.
 When she came to the United States, one of her close friends was Captain Wiedemann, former commander of Adolf Hitler when der F'Hehrer was a corporal in the last war. Both lived in San Francisco. Both motored ex- tensively around California, fre- quently stopping at tourist camps in the California mountains.
 The Princess lived at the Mark Hopkins Hotel in San
 Francisco, where Captain Wiedemann was 8 frequent caller. And it was at this hotel in November of last year that Princess HOhenlOhe received an interesting British visitor. BRITISH SECRET SERVICE
 He was Sir William Wiseman, head of the British Intelligence Service in the United States during the World War, and now a member of the banking firm If Kuhn, Loeb in New York.
 Sir William flew to San Fran cisco, where he stopped at the Mark Hopkins Hotel and in- mediately went into huddle with Princess Hohenlohe and the German Consul General. The huddle lasted three days.
 During 1t, a peace plan was worked out "a plan not unlike many such plans previously matched, by which Germany would keep the entire continent of Europe. With her huge army this would make it possible for her to attack England at any time.
 Sir William Wiseman's part was to arrange with Viscount Halifax, then Foreign Minister, to permit Princess Hohenlohe to

 Connecticut governors didn,t use to make an explanation when they vetoed bill passed by the Legis- lature. They simply refrained from signing it and that was known as the pocket veto." The old proce- dure, has been changed by an amendment, which accounts for Governor Hurley's statement of ob- jections in killing a piece of legis- lation after adjournment of the leg islative body.
 And the governor was busy in this respect, as witness his dtSapproval of the wheel gambling act, the bill that would exempt from the state gasoline tax all gasoline used by mu- nicipal automobiles and the legisla- ton emasculating the Merit System Act.

More Proposals
By Army Life

Fort Jackson, S. c., Nov. s.
Here's a tip for girls who are
waiting impatiently for a proposal
from a timid sutton. Encourage
him to join the army.
A perusal of the records of the
43rd Field Artillery Battalion
here at Fort Jackson indicates
that six months of army life will
spur the most reticent swain to
an immediate expression of his
desire for marital bliss rather
than martial bliss. No less than
seven members of the Headquar-
tiers Battery of the 43rd had the
knot tied while on recent fur
loughs.
It isn't that the boys dislike the
strictly military side of their ar
my life. It's simply the matter of
sewing buttons, washing clothes,
making beds, and doing K. P. that
opens their eyes to the joys of
living in a snug little nest, with
the zone and only" in constant
attendance to keep the place pro-
perly policed.
