...soon as Bolivia's German General Hans Kundt got back from exile (TIME. Jan. 2), he broke up the attacks against Munoz by counter-attacks on both wings. In the middle of the rainy season (South American armistice time), he sent his men floundering eastward on three fronts in an encircling movement. His coterie of one-time German Army officers led the little brown men in hand-to-hand Indian fighting with the machete, instead of the modern warfare that had astounded South America around Munoz.

Last week Boston's booming Mayor Curley was loudly debating issues with a onetime Republican Governor of Kentucky in Omaha while Kentucky's homespun Senator Barkley raced to Wheeling to open the West Virginia drive. From the American Legion Convention at Portland frock-coated Josephus Daniels orated his way eastward by easy stages. In last week's Satevepost the one-time Secretary of the Navy wrote glowingly of his wartime subordinate, "Franklin Roosevelt As I Know Him." Waashing-ton's chubby Senator Dill was all set to carry the Roosevelt power issue up & down the Pacific coast. As soon...

...dogs were pulling the sledge, six or eight people accompanying them. This sight was first reward for the two hard-ridden explorers. They thus proved what the Canadian Government had contended was unlikely-that Eskimos never passed north of Banks Island. The pleased pair now bore eastward toward Winter Harbor to see what might lie there. Near Winter Harbor they found three herds of musk oxen and an old Eskimo settlement. Reported Adventurer Verville: "These Eskimos have milk-white skins, except where their face and hands have become tanned and weather-beaten...
