Conjecture was not the only result of the war games, nor was the death (by drowning) of six naval men. The defeat of the scouting fleet and "destruction" of the Canal added point and pith to the arguments of two vociferous groups at Washington. Obvious was the boost given the Navy's cruiser program now before Congress (see p. 10). Less obvious, equally welcome, was the boost given to the proposed second interoceanic canal through Nicaragua by a sea-level route requiring few if any locks. As the war-game neared its final phase, New Jersey's Senator...
Judas. That Basil Rathbone is an able actor there is no doubt, but his part in writing this ineffectual piece should dictate to him the confines of his metier. He is not a playwright. Obvious, intermediate lines try without success to sketch Iscariot as a better man, really, than Bible History makes him.

The much greater length than breadth of the section is a serious problem especially as regards the more-crowded western side of the proposed rectangular Yard. Any adjustment, however, which would save the empty plot behind Gore would establish a basic formula for future progress, rapid or leisurely, toward a Yard of insured openness...
...peddle his biscuits in baskets" (bumptious bunk!) either in Nebraska, which he left about 1879, or in Denver, where, in 1893, he was, as always, dignified and rather magnificent. If those who have been trying to make his story sell biscuits had first taken the obvious step of looking up the history of this one of our most characteristically vital Americans, they could have undoubtedly made valuable copy and sold more biscuits...
