It will be recalled that Marshal Tukhashevsky, his opposite number in the Russian Army, was similarly liquidated a short time ago. We are prompted to offer prizes of book tokens for LI Is. and los. 6d. for the best descriptions (in not more than 250 words of dialogue or narrative) of the meeting in the Shades of these two distin- guished but unfortunate soldiers.
