...usurper of the throne, whom he shoots for the mad dog of a militarist he is; (b) Princess Helen of Saevia whom he loves, and marries, without any regrets for the U. S. girl. As a novel, The King Who Was a King is thus unconventional in form. The fact that it is the author's description of a possible film, gives the story an effect less real than it would have on the screen. Paul's dream of ultramodern warfare on land, sea and air, with poison gas, liquid fire, mob massacre, would make Hollywood producers tremble...
...other nations, renouncing war. The 186, deeming this a super-treaty worthy of super-ratification, signed and last week issued a super-pledge called a "British-American Message to the Churches and to All People of Good Will."

Not long ago, with this fact in mind, Publisher Hearst cast his eye about, saw Pub lisher Block making money as a com petitor in Pittsburgh (TIME, Aug. 13); saw him conducting also a large, selfsupporting business in selling space for news papers not owned by him in cities far from where they are published. Publisher...
...attention has been brought to the fact that several CRIMSON men have been so annoyed at the fact that Phillips Brooks House is not sending an official representative to the North field conference that they have taken it upon themselves to make up an unofficial delegation. We were much interested in an editorial in your paper about a month ago praising the action of P. B. H. in this matter and regret that any members of the CRIMSON board should take it upon themselves personally to reverse the policy of the board in such a flagrant way. R. S. Morison...
