...award was created in 1902 to commemorate Lord Kelvin's researches, and is presented every three years by the Institute of Civil Engineers of Great Britain for research work in ocean telegraphy and electrical measuring devices...
Newspaper Genius Lord Northcliffe took him on, pitched him into the kaleidoscopic career of a special correspondent. He covered royal weddings in Spain, religious troubles and riots in France, Stomach Tax in Canada, celebrities and murders and mysteries at home. Out of his heterogeneous experience he retains an exaggerated admiration for "the clean and decent poor" (famed Backbone of England) and for "the brotherhood of working journalists, salt of the earth."

As military gov- ernor of Shantung Province under the late, great War Lord Chang Tso-lin (TIME. July 2), Marshal Chang Tsung-chang bled the people to ruin and starvation with outrageous taxes before he was driven out and forced to flee to Japan (TIME, Sept. 24) by the present Nationalist Govern ment at Nanking. The return of Dastard Chang from Japan at the head of a band...
