Last week, as the campaign moved to Chicago, the real battleground, Mayor Kelly injected religion into it when he cried to some 500 Jewish politicians assembled in the Morrison Hotel: "It will be a sad day in Illinois for the Jews if it is apparent in the face of the election results that the Jews voted for Horner because he is a Jew. . . .

...made away with. That very night sleek, feline Karl puts in an appearance. When Karl stabs the faithful old dog, up pops a grizzled old gardener. By the time the long-lost Josef returns from the U. S. to claim his middle-aged bride, her cottage has become the battleground of eerie forces...

Ever since the gaudy coronation of kinky-haired Power of Trinity I as Emperor four years ago (TIME, Nov. 10, 1930), the country has been a secret battleground for Europe's colonizing Great Powers. Only port of entry is Djibouti in French Somaliland. Otherwise Italy and Britain hem the country in on all sides. In addition Japanese tycoons who have been dumping cheap cotton goods and manufactures in the country, are negotiating for great tracts of land to grow...
