...days after the sod was tamped down on his simple pine coffin, some 12,000 War veterans marched slowly up the Champs Élysees, paused for an instant to pile flowers on the Unknown Soldier's grave in tribute. Leading the parade were President Doumergue. Prime Minister André Tardieu. Foreign Minister Briand, Marshal Pétain, and one-armed General Gouraud. Just at eleven o'clock a cannon boomed, while all the crowd stood for a motionless minute. There were neither speeches nor prayers for Atheist Georges Clémenceau...
Architect Hastings was born in Manhattan in 1860 of an old Dutch-English family, in America since 1634. He studied for a while at Columbia University and went to Paris in 1880, entered the Ecole des Beaux Arts where he studied architecture in the atelier of Jules André. In Paris he became imbued with the great French tradition but, never an academician, he returned to the U. S. with an open mind bent upon adapting his learning to U. S. limitations. In the firm of McKim, Mead & White, where he spent his apprenticeship, he shared a draughting board with...

Paris painters, recalling Carnegie's previous recognition of more salient French painters (first prize, 1927, to Henri Matisse; first prize, 1928, to André Derain) were considerably puzzled by this award. Edward Bruce painted an Italian pear tree, leafless, in full blossom. This canvas won first honorable mention and $300. Meticulously Painter Bruce had picked out each bud against a leaden sky, producing a pleasant, symmetrically composed picture, eclectic, Japanesque...
...fighter can win a maximum number of five points in each round, points for being the most aggressive, for landing the cleanest punches. In Hartford little Christopher Battalino, local boy with black curly hair, scored 75 points to 56 and won the world's featherweight championship from Windmill André Routis by holding Routis' whirling arms when he got close and hitting him when he backed away...
