...German Foreign Office elicited neither "apology" nor "regrets" from the Foreign Minister, only an "explanation" accompanied by counterprotest against "malicious and untrue" U. S. press comments on Germany. The explanation, as reported in a semi-official communique, was: "If the language of some of the German newspapers went, perhaps, beyond the desired limits, this was due only to irritation. An insult to the American nation was by no means intended." The German press, which had banner-headlined Secretary Hull's "very earnest" regrets in response to the German protest against Mayor LaGuardia's crack week before, ignored both...
...Beyond that all he knew was that one morning he packed his kit in Ethiopia under the impression that he was to be sent back to Italy, found himself a few weeks later disembarking from an Italian transport at Cadiz, officially a member of Spain's Foreign Legion. Last week Fortunato Manure was one of some 200 Italians, ranging in rank from privates up to a Lieutenant-Colonel, who were captured by Madrid's defenders in five days of furious strife which badly broke the point of the so-called "Italian Spearhead" thrusting at Madrid from the northeast...
...Lent means 40 days of fast, abstinence, prayer, penitential works. Three Sundays before it begins, all churches are draped with mourning purple in memory of Christ's Passion.

The dish at the Loew's is triply unpalatable. It is a bad plot, full of silly situations which aren't very amusing, and too long. It is poorly acted by Robert Young and Ann Sothern; Young is one of these boys who finds that looking peeved, frowning, flouncing about and shouting too loud is the only way he can impress personality on you. And last...
...enjoyed himself hugely. Very popular with the troops, he raised quarter of a million pounds for them from the royalties of some popular verses (The Absent-Minded Beggar). Very British about the Boers, he recalls that De Wet with 250 men, Smuts with 500, were handy fighters; "but, beyond that, got muddled." After the war he took a house for his family at Cape Town, next to Cecil Rhodes's, wintered there for seven years. Kipling's best-known poem, If,* which has been translated into 27 languages, was based on the character of Dr. Leander Starr Jameson...
