Events are taking place os fast in Russia that the situation of one day is entirely changed before dawn of the following day. Differing groups coalesce or separate, cities change their allegiance from one faction to another, former leaders return to activ3e politics, the army enthusiastically supports the most eloquent speaker,--in short, the entire tern of affairs, however definite it may have been is unrecognizable shifted. From the meager reports that come through, it can be gleaned that the counter revolution is already under way, that the Army is supporting it, that Moscow is again in the hands...

Today is the time for undergraduates to show the committees who have been working for the most efficient plan of direction that the College appreciates their...
...importance may be withheld from an enemy by the publication of dispatches in this form, but they will look queer until we get used to them: "Lincoln, Neb., Feb. 30.--Mr. Bryan said today: "The -- is cast. From this moment we are all--. Our shores were invaded at dawn. Before sunset one--volunteers will spring to arms.'" Dashes are less cumbersome than (word or words deleted by the censor). In certain cases they may even heighten the effect produced by the news. As in this case: "-- --, L. I., Feb. 30.-- "Colonel -- gave out the following sentiment this afternoon...
