...Roosevelt said he wanted more Navy "specifically and solely because of the piling up of additional land and sea armaments in other countries, in such manner as to involve a threat to world peace and security." But Mr. Roosevelt has also said that the peace of the world depends on the co-operation of the world's democracies-i.e., the U. S., England and France. In 1916, the last time so many-nations were at war, Thomas Woodrow Wilson began with a policy of Peace and Preparedness, then took to playing ball with the British and ended...

Warm-blooded and grey-eyed, Milagritos was a lovely puzzle for Mr. Witt. At once serene and violent, free in her manner but irreproachable in her conduct, she was indolent, simple, with a streak of exuberance and humor that could be disconcerting to a prudent husband. They had been married for 15 years and, except for the fact that each blamed the other because they had no children, they were content...
