...unseeing night, a train steamed across the Polish Corridor* on its way from Berlin to East Prussia. Between the German town of Stargard and the Polish town of Dirschau, the engine ran off the tracks, the two front coaches telescoped, the remainder of the train, except the last two coaches, toppled over a 20-ft. embankment, 25 persons, including 12 women and 2 children, were killed, some 30 others were injured. The accident occurred in exactly the same place as a similar wreck...

...drizzling Sunday, 31,000,000 Germans, or 85% of the electorate, went to the polls from church, or to church from the polls. Serious disturbances?between Monarchists, Republicans and Communists?interrupted the Sabbath calm. From north and south, east and west of Germany reports filtered in telling tales of violence. Several persons were killed, many were more or less seriously injured. In Berlin, the same story was told; but it fell to the Communists to supply a note of humor. The Communist Red Cat or ganization paraded the city in motor trucks singing their "Miau-Miau" song...
...Blind Spot." Explorer MacMillan's plea for this assistance was indeed persuasive. In return for two airplanes, he would try to give the U. S. a new continent. North of Alaska and Siberia, from about 120° West Longitude to about 120° East Longitude, and from the 77th parallel to the North Pole, lies a vast region never explored by man, a "blind spot" on the most modern of maps. In 1906, three years before he reached the Pole, Admiral Peary stood on a cape of Ellesmere Land, looked northwest, swore he could discern, about 120 miles...

To a large extent, the Company's executives believe that the production from Katanga will be cheaper in cost than any other mines in the world, and consequently able to sell on a profitable basis at all times...
