Stephenam Victor Joseph Noel Otto alias Otto Debeney, 29, jokester, took his own life in his native city of Brussels, last week, by leaping from the third story window of a dingy lodging house. Gallant and daring his spirit, fecund his imagination. In 1919, after deserting from the Belgian Army, he appeared in Coblenz dressed as a Belgian officer. Announcing himself as an emissary from King Albert, he decorated Major General Henry Tureman Allen, commander of U. S. forces in Germany, with the Belgian Military Medal of Honor and kissed him on both cheeks. The ceremony was performed before...
...horses undeniably is a U. S. industry, and many a wild horse, caught, corralled, transported and slaughter-housed, is packed into cans and sold as foodstuff. In this country, to be sure, only well-to-do dogs eat horsemeat. On the Continent, poor people consume it. In French and Belgian villages are many equine butcher shops where only horse meat is sold. A stuffed horse head hangs over the doorway, to distinguish them from "chacuteries" (pork shops) where a pig's head holds the place of honor. Nor is horse meat particularly unpalatable.

...newsman can interview at any time. After a wrangle with die-hard government-owning Senators, the Chapman bid was accepted. Last week the Shipping Board opened bids on ships of the American Diamond and the America France Lines, which operate freighters between U. S. and French, Dutch and Belgian ports.

No official acceptance of the Chapman bid was announced...
...final draft of the agreement, known to the delegates as Draft C. Beyond that there remained only the affixing of the delegates' signatures and its submission to and (presumably) ratification by the governments of England, France, Belgium, Italy, Japan, the U. S. and Germany. The final obstacle-the Belgian franc business-seemed to have disappeared when Germany solemnly pledged herself to settle the War currency question before Sept.1, when the Young Plan becomes effective...
...Record had their attention arrested last fortnight by news that Publisher Edward Beale McLean of the Washington, D. C., Post was suing the Record for one million dollars damages for an article descriptive of "a social incident" between Publisher McLean and Prince Albert Edouard Eugene Lamoral de Ligne, the Belgian Ambassador to the U. S., an "incident" which had allegedly resulted in the Post's editorial attack upon the Ambassador (TIME, May 13, 27). Last week, the hard-hitting Record kept its readers' attention in custody by printing a front-page "correction in fairness to the Washington Post...
