...year of the Big Blizzard, German Immigrant Louis Blaustein landed in New York with 50? in his pocket, lent it to a needy cousin, headed for Baltimore. From a one-horse wagon he peddled cans of kerosene, soon got a job with John D. Rockefeller's up-&-coming Standard Oil Co.

As advertised in advance (to give all who wished a chance to leave), British warships lying in Ofot Fjord shelled the town systematically.

A full-fledged war could scarcely develop on bleak Sakhalin-last week's clash was followed by a blizzard which stopped railroad trains, to say nothing of troops on foot-but it looked at week's end as if Sakhalin clashes and Nomonhan scares would keep Russia and Japan from joining hands in what the Allies fear-exclusive enemy domination of the Far East...
