...fortunate idealists who at length saw a concrete issue of their plans. The pact renouncing war as an instrument of policy was the joint creation of himself and Secretary Kellogg. It may be suggested that the realistic and even cynical Briand was not deceived by the glib pretenses of the pact, but even so he was eminently the man to gauge its psychological value. More important was the Locarno Treaty, which made an epoch in Franco-German diplomacy, and in which the influence of Streseman was vital. The League of Nations, though not of his creating, has taken deeply...
...Biggest landowner is the Duke of Richmond who owns more than a quarter million acres (23 times the acreage of Bermuda).

Among the other writers included by the editor are Andre Maurois, Philip LaFollette, and Nicholas Murray Butler...
Expounding a simple, wholesome, somewhat sentimental philosophy of living at the expense of pseudo-aristocratic affectation, the versatile Tom Powers outdoes his justly famous efforts in "The Apple Cart" and "Strange Interlude" in his interpretation of the principle role in "Handy Man", a thoroughly enjoyable comedy of his own creation now playing at the Copley Theatre.
