...financial "angels" were identified by bug-eyed, mustachioed Alexander Trachtenberg, a naturalized Russian who manages Communist publishing and propaganda outfits in Manhattan. One was Miss Anna Rochester, a worker for the Labor Research Association in Manhattan, whom Witness Trachtenberg respectfully described as "a very wealthy woman." The other was a retired New Jersey manufacturer (of compressed oxygen), named Abraham A. Heller, who got into the news 20 years ago as "the millionaire Bolshevist," still contributes liberally to Communist ventures. "He is a very wealthy man," said admiring Mr. Trachtenberg. "And a member of the Communist Party?" ejaculated scornful Mr. Dies...
...Warsaw thought it had actually thrown the Germans back. Part of the Army fighting in the narrow pocket to the west of the capital, between the German pincers, fell back into the city, joining the defenders. To the north, Modlin fortress fell and a German force crossed the Bug River east of Warsaw, cutting off retreat. From the southwest, the German drive swung eastward past Radom, crossed the Vistula. Warsaw was surrounded. Once again it faced its historic fate. For ten times Warsaw had been taken by an invader-the last time on August 5, 1915, when Mackensen...

Impeded at the Narew River after taking Plonsk and Pultusk, they were halted last week at the Bug. At the junction of the Narew and the Vistula, the fort city of Modlin had yet to fall at week's end. But artillery diverted for this defense weakened the Poles on the southwest. Smashing into Cracow, Germany's armies of the south swept on into the Industrial Triangle to take Sandomierz, Poland...
Grey's spunkiness delighted rich Jewish Banker Ellice Victor (later Sir Victor) Sassoon, inveterate flying bug, who agreed to back him in a new aviation magazine. In June 1911, Editor Grey brought out the first issue of The Aeroplane. Through several changes of management, many a near-fatal slump, he held the editorial chair. Lately, under the aegis of Temple Press, the magazine boomed...
