...thoughts could drift back to a December day in Philadelphia, when the Federal Council was in the throes of organizing. It was no easy matter to thread the creeds and dogmas of dozens of sects and bring them together in a common Christian purpose. Out of a bog of conflicting theological ideas Dr. North led his confrères to high and solid ground-social service. An active minister and city missions worker, he believed that "when the standards of the Gospel shall have become the rule of Society, His Kingdom will be here." He wrote the first social creed...
Sirs: TIME'S notice, Bog War (April 3) gives an erroneous idea of the struggle in question. Paraguay has administered Chaco Boreal since Colonial days in her own right. Bolivia was only able to construct chain of small forts owing to domestic troubles in Paraguay during last 30 years, penetrating slowly into undisputed Paraguayan Zone recognized as such by treaties signed by themselves, by U.

Bolivian authorities' object in claiming Chaco is only apparently obtention of outlet on river...
...done that once before, and neatly, with the same engine and parts of the same Lockheed plane. That was last year when he and Bennett Griffin first tried to beat the Post-Gatty record.

Gone were the days when an excited public was eager to pay $149 for I. T. & T. stock earning $3 a share. The stock earned nothing, sold...
...that has never been declared, three sets of peace makers including a neutral commission in Washington, a League of Nations observation commission and the ABCP group of neighbors (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Peru) had done nothing. When it was winning last December, Paraguay wanted no peace in the bog. Last week advancing Bolivia wanted no peace, suggested a 30-to 60-day armistice to bring up fresh troops and supplies, the front to remain the same as at the end of hostilities. Paraguay was willing to agree to an armistice on condition both sides evacuate the bog. Observers thought peace depended...
