Kerensky is a moody man; he broods and broods for hours on end, "with his yellow-green eyes half closed." Then, suddenly, something snaps within him, "an enthusiasm stirs his deep spiritual organism," his face changes, his forehead "grows higher and broader," the yellow-green eyes flash-the man speaks. Once Kerensky spoke for twelve hours without stopping. Senor Ibañéz, after seeing him, thought he could speak for 24 hours and not be in the least affected. Said he: "The Russian has a mouth like a codfish . . . and a voice like a cross between a megaphone...
...fund requirements of $14,000,000 as a result of its acquisition of American Brass. Except for its newly acquired Chile Copper Co. properties, Anaconda is a high-cost producer, and with the red metal selling about 15% below even the 1913 price, cannot expect to operate its old deep-shaft mines at much, if any, profit.

In the third game he started with a run of 7 straight points, scoring continually on skillfully executed deep shots. So accurate did his strokes become that he allowed his opponent but 7 points the whole game...
...Sommaripa protested against current superficial and erroneous impressions and statements about Russia. "The Russian Revolution," he said, "is as large and deep as Russia herself. Her situation and her strength for political liberties, for liberty of the press, of education, of religion, of forming business organizations, and carrying on international trade, independently from state supervision, should be lighted only by those who have been in Russia for several years or by those who are able to penetrate the Russian psychology. Here the best interpreter is a Russian who in blood belongs to the great Slavonic race." He further declared that...
