Splendid New Feature

Lovety Agnes Peabody, 19-year-old Bolton tank queen, has become a special military correspondent.

Miss Peabody, who until recently held the proud title "of "Miss Legs of the Guard: has had unrivalled opportunities for studying the military scene, and presents her views with freshness and charm.

In a brilliant review of the situation to day, Miss Peabody writes:

"I think General Viscount Gort and General Gamelin are two perfect soldiers and gentlemen. Some military men.I could name may be soldiers, but they aren't gentlemen by a long chalk. It would be ever so nasty for a nice girl if they were at the head of things. As it is, with two such absolute gentlemen and soldiers as General Viscount Gort and General Gamelin in command, I expect we shall win easy."

Sooh Miss Peabody will write with inside knowledge on "Strategy and Tactics in Attack and Defence,"
