...Mogul v. Cadet. At the moment, the "Presidency" of China is a matter of insignificance in a land so torn by anarchy that only the military are of account. Last week the Pekingese War Lord Chang Tso-lin, temperamentally a cruel, picturesque, luxurious "Great Mogul" began his expected offensive against the Cantonese (TIME, Dec. 6), by issuing a statement shrewdly designed to win Occidental sympathy: "I am fighting not only in behalf of China, but in behalf of the World. ... The menace of Bolshevism is a world menace and the Cantonese are Bolsheviks. . . . Whether I win or lose is personally...
Against this astute Mogul, wise in the thought of the Occident, the Cantonese War Lord Chiang Kai-shek steadily deployed his troops last week.

Who is the Chief Mogul that can tell us what the Bible means ? . . . Nothing was ever heard of all that [Christian divisions] until the Fundamentalists got into Tennessee. . . . Here is one thing I cannot account for, that is the hatred and the venom and feeling of people with very strong religious convictions. . . . Joshua made...
...Mogul. There is probably a wide public for the type of entertainment in which an Irish tenor sends the show out for recess every now and then and sings a couple of ballads. This one even takes time to tell a funny story when the plot begins to lag. Fiske O'Hara is his name. In this play, by De Witt Newing, he is not a poor Irish lad arriving in this country but a full blown business man. The notion of Elbert Gary suddenly holding up a conference of the Steel Corporation to sing about shamrocks is interesting...
