Major Cornwallis-West writes to the "Daily Mail" in reference to the report published in Germany that Prince Pless is seeking to have his marriage annulled on the ground that he was not a free agent. In the report from Germany it was staled that the Prince alleges that the late Colonel Cornwallis-West forcedhim into marriage with his daughter. at the point of the pistol.' Major Cornwal-lis-West, stigmatises this allegation as scandalous and untrue. "The true facts are' these," Major Cornwallis-West's letter continues. "My father was for a long time-against the marriage on the grounds that he did not"wish his daughter to marry a German. How right he was my poor sister learnt after from bitter' experience. Few people in this country realise how she suffered' during the war, how she was hectored, bullied, and fepied upon by many of her husband s j own class, merely because she went out of her way to assist B'ritlslr prisoners of war, many of whom will vouch for the kindness they received at her hands."
