Britain's territorial integrity in Hong Kong would not be worth a bosun's whistle if Japan really attacked the possession. Last week's maneuver, though its announced purpose (like that of the occupation of Canton in October 1938) was to cut the flow of supplies into Free China, was obviously also intended as a threat to Hong Kong. The Japanese military warned British authorities 48 hours beforehand of the intended move, and brought supplies, indicating a long stay...
...Baltic Plain is glacial country. When the ice cap was inching out over Europe, drainage toward the north was blocked; hence the plain is now crisscrossed-by old river beds that run from east to west, by rivers that now flow into the North and Baltic Seas. The new river beds and the old connecting valleys make it relatively easy for soldiers to roll across the Baltic Plain in any direction. Germany's soldiers rolled against Russia in 1914 on railroad lines built especially to serve strategic purposes. On the Russian side of the border railroafls were...
...ever liked Fritz. He was too smart. During the War, barely out of college, he got a job in the German Government bureau directing the flow of raw materials through Germany. In no time, he headed it. At 27 he persuaded Belgian industrialists to accept the paper currency issued in occupied territory.

But Paul Reynaud was grateful, served as best man when, only eight weeks ago, the dying financier surprised everyone by marrying a tall, dark, 21-year-old Brazilian girl named Marie Antoinette Reiss. The marriage was as doomed as Fritz Mannheimer's bank. The groom had a heart attack during the ceremony...
...voiced choir and the Georgia State Girls' Military Band burst into Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow. A huge throng of Atlantans, ringing Terminal Station Plaza, cheered and handclapped as a white-haired man, large of frame, square of face, firm of jaw, stepped from the station. Atlanta's Mayor William Berry Hartsfield, a representative of Georgia's Governor Eurith Dickinson Rivers, Baptist ministers white and black greeted him-Rev. Dr. George Washington Truett, best-known Baptist in the world. He had arrived in Atlanta last week to preside over the sixth congress of the Baptist...
