Last week Methodist Bishop Herbert Welch (North) was on the Pacific coast. The first week of September he will sail from Vancouver for Korea on the Empress of Japan. With him will be Bishop James Chamberlain Baker (North) of Korea. At Seoul they will convene with Bishop William Benjamin Beauchamp (South), seven other U. S.

...clerk and a mendicant monk were taken from a train at Prague last week, charged with high treason against the Republic of Czechoslovakia. Old world diplomats studying the case grinned in their beards, figuratively doffed their cocked hats to dowdy, indomitable Zita of Bourbon-Parme, ex-Empress of Austria-Hungary.

...does choose, a way was at least indicated last week. Archduke Rainer Carl, an unimportant, very distant cousin, died in penury in Vienna a few days after Albrecht acclaimed Otto. Wily ex-Empress Zita, Otto's mother, saw in the death a chance to bring all remaining Habsburgs under her son's banner. Magnificently she ordered a royal funeral for the pauper, had him interred next to the bones of Emperor Franz Josef and for the first time in more than a decade Vienna saw the yellow and black flag of the Habsburgs on public view...
