...Some of these undoubtedly are true, but others simply surpass belief. The prize one so far is this which appeared in the Japan Times. A party of Japanese soldiers were out on scouting duty, when they observed a much larger party of Chinese, apparently bent on the same mission, approaching them.

In Boston last week arrived Dr. Carl Ferdinand Eyring, onetime physics professor at Brigham Young University, to be first president of the New England Mormon Mission. He found that some 3,000 New Englanders were already Latter-day Saints.
