...days discussion of the Bill was swamped by a heavy sea of amendments, counter-amendments and other parliamentary devices. Friends of woman suffrage were adverse to Deputy Roulleaux-Dugage's children clause, others supported it because of its close relationship with the birthrate problem, while the enemies of woman suffrage "tried to steer the discussions into a debate upon internal politics." At the end of the two days the bill had made no progress...
...Professor Ross covers in some detail the period of the Russo-German negotiations during the winter of 1917-18 that culminated in the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk of March 1918, and he describes briefly the reorganization of Russia under the Soviet regime. He then outlines the various attempts at counter revolution and foreign intervention such as the Archangel expedition, the struggles in Siberia of the Czecho-Slovaks, Kolchak, and Semenov, and the intervention of Japanese and American troops, as well as the attacks of Denikine, Wranged, and Yudenitch.

...this position. Dunker is the best guard in sight, but another year should mean great improvement for Daniell, C. H. Bradford, Laimbeer, and Macomber, Whellock of the 1926 Freshman team, ineligible this year, and Savory and Platt of the 1927 team are all worthy of consideration. The counter position will cause little worry with Greenough available for first-string duty and Adie, Bond, Rosecrans, and Gamache as substitutes. The latter was not eligible this fall, but his work on the second team was of a high order. Should one of these men prove to be first string material, Greenough...
