...King Peter and how he received the news of his father's death, or how the Queen wept over her husband's corpse. It is strange also that, in a country so democratically minded, interest should be concentrated on glorifying the career of a somewhat doubtful Balkan Monarch to the exclusion of any concern at the calamity which has befallen Europe in the death of one of France's greatest foreign ministers. Even your own excellent paper seems hardly to have noticed that a great democratic leader has also died. Surely this must mean more to the immediate future...
...picked up 96 living persons from the sea and towed 70 more in other boats, to safety. Their 26-ft. self-bailing surfboat was the first on the scene. They plucked 14 from the sea and rushed them beachward; they returned immediately to find the City of Savannah and Monarch of Bermuda in the vicinity and later the Andrea F. Luckenbach and from then on they picked up the survivors and turned them over to the liner by the boat load. The surfboats cannot hold more than 20 persons without foundering...

She skidded up to the Morro Castle like a polo pony, wheeled and dropped four of her boats with one splash before losing headway. The Monarch, Captain Albert R.

She arrived at 6:20 a. m., lowered no boats until 7:08. She resumed her voyage at 8:03 without having saved a single soul...
This year the Little King made his debut in cinema. As an animated cartoon, his success was inconspicuous. A beardless variation of the Little King was created for an advertising series in which the diminutive monarch, grown suddenly articulate, dealt didactically with the merits of Standard Oil's Red Crown Super-fuel. For Borden's Ice Cream Soglow gave the King a son, the Crown Prince of Ice-Creamia, an amusing little moppet who behaved much like his father. For Brooklyn's Abraham & Straus department store Soglow drew a Queen who strangely exercised her royal prerogatives by appearing publicly...
