Last week French newspapers received heavier cable reports concerning the progress of M. Caillaux's mission (see Page 6, Cabinet) than have ever before flashed eastward over the wires. Frenchmen, early pleased by the cordiality of Secretary Mellon's greeting to M. Caillaux, became angry, excited and somewhat defiant as the rejection of the initial French debt proposals became known. Phrases flew: "France bloodless, the U. S. stuffed with food . . . refuse to discuss the Mellon memorandum . . . Frenchmen slaves for 62 years ... the feudal U. S. mentality . . . 'virtuous' President Coolidge ... if M. Caillaux must return without...
...Hoover, other lawyers "of counsel for the defense." They left behind them John W. Lacey, ex-Hoosier, ex-school-teacher, ex-Chief Justice of Wyoming, gallant 76-year-old leader of the Rocky Mountain Bar, also "of counsel for the defense." Next morning's Chicago express puffed Eastward with Owen J. Roberts of Philadelphia, ex-Senator Atlee Pomerene of Ohio, other lawyers "of counsel for the prosecution." The greatest trial in Wyoming history had come to an end-the U. S. Government vs. Harry F. Sinclair and the Mammoth Oil Co. (TIME...

It passed through the ancient province of Gandhara, where there is to be found a trace of the western culture left by Alexander and the traders who followed him. It then bent eastward through what is now Chinese Turkestan, and finally came out into the Kansu province...
...none too likely to have clear weather for observation purposes. At the hours of the eclipse and at the time of the year in which it takes place, the chance of clear weather at Buffalo is only 27%. The chance at Port Huron is 36%. The chance farther eastward in the belt of totality improves, with New Haven in about the most favorable position with 51% chance of clear weather. A third unfortunate factor is that the eclipse will be brief?less than two minutes...
...shadow of a complete eclipse oftener than once in every few hundred years. The January eclipse will stretch over a region where none such has been seen in the memory of living man. Its narrow band of shadow will start at a point somewhat west of Duluth and stretch eastward, going out to sea across the southern shores of Connecticut. The southern boundary of the eclipse will include Duluth (Minn.), Menominee and Frankfort (Mich.), London (Ont), Dunkirk (N.Y.), Wilkes Barre (Pa.) and the northern part of Manhattan (so accurate can the prediction be made). Within the northern limit...
