...Berlin the High Command announced that South African harbors are being mined by German naval units. This and The Netherlands' invasion made the Dutch blood of the Boers boil. Even Vaderland, organ of Anglophobe Opposition Leader General James Barry Munnik Hertzog, who was voted out of office when he tried to keep South Africa from declaring war on Germany, last week said of the invasion of The Netherlands: "This great crime will be repaid by history...
Rome has only two afternoon newspapers: the Fascist Giornale d'Italia and the Catholic Osservatore Romano, semiofficial organ of the Holy See.

...Fifty-five years ago and more, the writer hereof earned his first dollar playing for dances in Butler county, a young boy in his middle teens. We make no boasts but our outfit, consisting of a blind fiddler, a competent cornetist and deponent at the cabinet organ or piano, as the case happened to be-used to go out in the country to farm dances. . . . Mostly we played square dances, though we had two or three waltzes-'The First Kiss Waltz,' 'The Cornflower Waltz,' 'The Skaters' and 'Where, Oh Where, Has My Little...
