...Bonfires die out with each growing moment of dawn. Arms are gathered, stations called, ranks formed. Excitement and anticipation fill the camp. A huge gaunt figure, hatless and cloakless, sweeps imperiously on a white charger to the front of the newly formed platoons. This man commands attentions, respect, admiration, fear. Ranks become straighter, shoulders stiffer, guns arched higher. His voice booms like a cannon through the crisp morning air: "Comrades, this is an historic moment. All Europe watches us today. Victory means freedom from the treacherous claws of Louis of France . . . if we loss our lives, our Country...
With 135 tons of lead ready to bear down at any time to the task of getting out the November exams of which about 19,000 copies will probably be required for Harvard and Radcliffe, we fear that the neglectful student had better relinquish any vague hopes that on the morning of the exams he will find any of them unprinted.

Sweden's aged King Gustaf, who mortally fears Soviet Russia, was having the Communist jitters again last week. Last month the League of Nations took U. S. S. R. into its fold of respectability (TIME, Oct. 1). Straightway King Gustaf, by no complicated chain of associations, thought of the Aland Islands. The Aland Archipelago in the elbow of the Baltic Sea separating Sweden and Finland is the ticklish spot in Sweden's naval strategy. Overlooking the harbor of Stockholm, the Alands are some 300 sandy, stony little islands and one big one. They are full of Swedes...
