...public places where people congregate, and actually . . . in private parties [Doesn't that sound just like Washington? asked the President] there are men [today you could add women, said the President] who know who are leading the armies into Macedonia, where their camps ought to be placed, what strategical positions ought to be occupied. . . . They not only lay down what ought to be done, but when anything is done contrary to their opinion they arraign the consul as though he were being impeached...
...Finally, it was felt that though the first period of the training, from April 6 to May 16, was a difficult time to ask students to add another activity to their curriculum, the program is so important that exemptions should be granted only in exceptional cases. If the training is entered upon in a spirit of co-operation and with an understanding that it aims to prepare the individual for future service, as important contribution to the war effort can be in initiated smoothly and effectively...
...teeth and his hair is grey, but at 69 George Humble is all set to ship out. Retired from the Navy 20 years ago as chief carpenter's mate, he broke out his old uniform again last week, prepared to work towards another hash mark to add to the swatch of eight that adorn his sleeve already (they represent 32 years' service).

So last month oilmen tried again for a West-East pipeline, got turned down as they did last fall, because the pipeline they wanted required 500,000 tons of scarce steel plate. But they refuse to quit, still want a fat 21-inch pipeline to move...
...will present a fine performance tonight. Mary Douglas has the delightful part of Leonora Fiske which she plays well but with some inconsistence. The best part of the production, however, comes from three new-comers to the Agassiz Theatre. Gertrude Wind and Jane Spencer as the two balmy sisters add the plaintive touch of comedy that makes the play so poignant. Jane Spencer's performance is some of the finest amateur acting that has been presented in any of the productions near Harvard Square and is alone worth the admission fee. Along with them comes Edith Bronson playing the role...
