Died. General Karl Litzmann, 86, commander of the Imperial German Army which broke through the Russian Front in 1917, ardent Nazi; of old age; in New Globsow, Pomerania.

Died. Charles John Baron Darling of Langham, 86, witty dean of His Majesty's High Court of Justice; in Lymington, Hampshire. Upped to bench and knighthood in 1897 when his impudent antics in Parliament dismayed William Ewart Gladstone, he jibed so often at counsel and witnesses that he soon won the traditional accolade of eccentricity by being cartooned (in cap & bells) by Max Beerbohm. Never at a public school or university, he lost no chance to poke fun at sporting Britain, thought football "muddy," cricket a "bore," maintained that marbles was his game.
