...Sunday Speech." If Germany has been wiped clean of War guilt, what states are War guilty? French Nationalists saw in the "bierabend speech" of Herr Stresemann an implied casting of War guilt on France. Moreover Premier Poincare himself has been accused of being the chief author of the World War by revisionist historians. Would he stomach "Gambrinus" Stresemann's indiscretions? When M. Poincare announced that he would make one of his famed "Sunday speeches" at Bar-le-Duc, French Nationalist newsgatherers scurried thither, prepared to hear him tear the compromise of Thoiry to tatters...
...Broad, clean, tree-planted streets diverge from the Omon (Great Gate), near which stands a monument (TIME, July 26) to the 730 geisha and joro girls who perished during the earthquake.

What the red jersied players did show on their first appearance, was clean handling of the ball in the backfield, plenty of willingness and snap in the execution of plays and a knowledge of the rudimentary facts of football. Flashes of genius and inspiration were conspicuous by their absence and will, unless the situation improves, again be among the elements missing...
