...With this proposition, impressionistic, word-jumbling Gertrude Stein, most famed of U. S. literary expatriates, greeted the first corps of U. S. newshawks she had seen in 31 years. Author Stein, hearty, hefty, dressed in a coarse, mannish suit and thick woolen stockings, was sailing up New York Harbor to begin a lecture tour.

For a few hours King Alexander lay in state, before being carried to a special train and sent on a slow roundabout journey through the provinces of his enemies to his capital.
