...Japan has poured an invading army (TIME, July 26). So deceptively abject were the local Chinese population, its coolies meekly unloading Japanese munitions and its Chinese officials blandly obliging, that General Kazuki did not bother to keep Tientsin heavily garrisoned, hurried almost all the Japanese troops he landed directly inland toward Peiping. Suddenly about 2 a. m. Chinese artillery secretly brought close to Tientsin started shelling the central and east railway stations used by the Japanese. Simultaneously Chinese snipers, evidently well organized on a citywide scale, began firing from the rooftops, hurling hand grenades. In the streets some Chinese soldiers...
...Salamis and quietly and unofficially sent ashore a boatload of provisions to Greek revolutionaries hiding on the small island of Psyttaleia. Before Commodore Daniel Todd Patterson could sail away, however, he was persuaded by the Greeks to buy a huge mutilated statue of great antiquity which had been buried inland and whose five tons of bulk gave Old Ironsides' grumbling sailors no end of trouble. But Hellenistic Commodore Patterson brought his statue safely home, presented it to the flourishing young Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia. For more than 40 years it stood in the Academy...
...Follette report was by no means the last chapter in John L. Lewis' unsuccessful siege of "Little Steel." As far as Mr. Lewis was concerned the strike was still on, except against Inland Steel and the Youngstown Sheet & Tube plants in the Chicago area where Indiana's Governor Townsend had patched up truces.

So he went after the warehousemen, who stand economically between the longshoremen and the teamsters. There he clashed with Dave Beck in a violent struggle which is still far short of settlement. Meantime Bridges is being attacked on the flank by Harry Lundeberg, a tough, towering Norwegian from Oslo who arrived on the Pacific Coast a few years after Harry Bridges. Like Bridges...
Meantime in Indiana Governor Townsend patched up a truce between the Steel Workers Organizing Committee and Youngstown Sheet & Tube, pending a ruling from the National Labor Relations Board on the question of signed contracts. Unlike the Inland Steel truce, in which both sides made definite agreements with the Governor, this truce was informal. After the company made a few changes in its labor policy regarding vacations, the S. W. O. C. called off its pickets in Indiana Harbor, broke out 30 barrels of beer for a "victory" celebration as 7,000 workers prepared to return to the last closed plant...
