...Hull quickly accepted it, merely calling attention to this difference of opinion in his reply. The State Department's note presumably closed the incident but made it apparent that a repetition might be much less easy to explain away. Secretary Hull also adroitly reminded Japan that, for its account of the "origins, causes and circumstances of the incident," the U. S. Government "relies on the report of findings of the court of enquiry of the United States Navy...
...miming, her new paintings and drawings of archaic Greek and Oriental forms, Spanish bullfighters, imagined figures from history, were fresh, economical, expert. Her evening of pantomime to music was a reassuring exhibition for devotees and newcomers alike in a large, light-hearted audience. And in her briskly written account of Mediterranean travel, study and U. S. trouping, critics found a key to the pleasures of mime that many of them, had long fumbled for in vain. This key was, simply, vaudeville...
Last week Jake Kilrain, lately a night-watchman, died of cancer, heart disease and gangrene on the exact day the American Mercury appeared with this robust account of the almost incredibly titanic Kilrain-Sullivan battle. The story was the work of Oland D. Russell. Few ringside sportsmen 49 years ago would have wagered that the stumbling, blotched pulp of Jake Kilrain would serve him to a ripe age of 78. Almost as astonishing as his longevity was the Mercury's luck in timing Contributor Russell's story with Jake Kilrain's unpredictable death last week, the first...
...first thing she did when she stepped ashore was kiss the boggy soil of Louisiana. It took her and her four colleagues 40 days to ascend the river to St. Louis.

It is full of homely detail: the French nuns' first encounter with corn bread; Mother Duchesne's purchase of a slave, Rachel, from her bishop...
...practical, the guides sometimes fall between two stools, sometimes overelaborate local wonders, sometimes tantalizingly skim the surface of some item of unfamiliar history. From the browsing reader's point of view, boldest and best of the books is the anecdotal Cape Cod Pilot, which includes a vivid account of the sinking of the submarine 8-4 off Provincetown, manages to treat old and new Cape Cod with the same good-natured detachment. Almost every book shows flashes of inspired writing. Even the pedestrian Lincoln City Guide of Lincoln, Neb. brightens up in its account of the temperance movement...
