Charles Sims, associated with the Royal Academy, studied with Jules Lefebyre and Benjamin Constant, acquired a precise and elegant technique, and developed, by painting the cold noses of aristocrats and the torsos of the wives of trade-kings, a satiric turn of mind that would have made him an ornament to the House in the days of Benjamin, Lord Beaconsfield. Two years ago he painted a picture of King George. The monarch's little legs protruded from a dandiacal bouquet of ribbons and stars, ermine and furbelows; his wan, overbred features looked down like a face...
These situations, which deal with national alignments, serve well to show how the methods of diplomacy continue the same. And rumor is as busy now as in 1914. It is a constant interest to watch the show and to wonder if there is any more charitable spirit abroad now than then; to decide whether the climax of these and future collaborations will be peace...
...increasing value of business training in military service. The American army has always been a pioneer in adopting scientific business methods and at present has many technical and industrial training colleges.

But every undergraduate, except the born scholar with the ability to see life through...
...Manhattan, with his small son David Binney Putnam; Art Young, archer; Carl Dunrud, cowboy; Dan Streeter, author; Capt. Bob Bartlett, Explorer Peary's onetime skipper; Knud Rasmussen, explorer; and naturalists from the American Museum of Natural History, have been cruising Davis Strait and Baffin Bay, off Greenland, in constant radio communication with the New York Times. Many a description of Arctic weather effects has been received, couched in Publisher Putnam's best editorial verbiage. Walrus, seals, narwhal and varied seafowl have fallen to the voyagers' trusty guns, a high moment coming last fortnight when the Putnams, father...
