Captain Michael J. Brennan, of the Cambridge Police Department, when interviewed yesterday declared that he had already discharged 36 cases with reprimands. He said that the intended to be similarly lenient with the remaining ten cases before him, but that he planned to exact the full fine of ten dollars for any future cases of parking law violations...
Coach Fisher spared no one yesterday but tried out every one of the 65 men on the squad in the work. The veteran line was back intact again and looks almost certainly to be the exact forward combination which will start against Rhode Island a week from tomorrow. Gordon and K. N. Hill were back on the ends and Kernan was in again at center, flanked by Hubbard and Grew and Dunker and Eastman...
...exact moment of death is as difficult to establish with currencies as it is with persons. The German mark has long since been pronounced incurably sick, and its fever has risen beyond the ability of existing thermometers to measure it.

And yet it seems a curiously lifeless book. The characters seem shadowy and unsubstantial; the exact, neat detail, lacking in any real significance; the tale, twice-told. To your reviewer, coming, as it does after Mr. BritUng, Sonia, Le Feu, Three Soldiers, One of Ours and Through the Wheat, A Son at the Front appears like an exhibition of perfect waxworks, meticulously constructed, displaying every external appurtenance...
