Over £600,000 of unclaimed army prize money has been applied towards keeping up Chelsea Hospital and grounds. In Austrian theatres no one is permitted to appear on the stage in a uniform bearing any resemblance to those used in the army of that country. The highest viaduct in the world has just been built across a gorge in the Shan Hills, in Upper Burma. It used up 5,000 tons of steel and cost £140,000. Russian military cadets are now permitted to wear moustaches and beards. Their naval confreres are to wear inonstaches, but must shave the beard.
