...first regimental drill of the year will be held in the Stadium. The companies will assemble at 3.30 o'clock and will march to Soldiers Field where they will drill by battalions for a short time. At 5.30 o'clock they will be drawn up with the band in line of masses in the Stadium, and the retreat ceremony will be held, after which the battalions will pass in review before Captain Cordier and the military staff. This occasion will give the public the first opportunity to see the Training Corps drill together. Seats on the west side...
...first of these two considerations applies particularly to the largest of the South American republics, namely, Brazil. For almost a generation Brazil has been actively concerned, because of her extensive coast-line and river system, with the problem of building up water transportation facilities.

In fact, the two poets present an interesting and suggestive opposition throughout. If in Mr. Norris I find sentiment, fancy, wit--in the older sense--in Mr. Hillyer I find, above all, passion and imagination. But their latest poems are both...
...uniform the incipient politician may not measure the great or the near-great by examining whether their shoes are custom-made, or their hats come from New York. The prettiest fop does not show distinction in company front after an afternoon of drill in column and line formations. The assurance gained in talking to paid and obedient servants does not help greatly in telling a platoon of strong and aggressive men to deploy as skirmishers, and be excessively quick about...
