...building somewhat different kinds of ships. The U. S., poorly equipped with naval bases, needs war boats of comparatively large tonnage and consequent long cruising range. Britain, well equipped with bases from which to refuel her fleets, would like to build smaller war boats, thus enabling her to pack a greater number of fighting units inside her global tonnage. This the U. S. cannot permit, fearful of a British swarm of hornet ships. Britain in turn fears what the U. S. might achieve with a sudden thrust of mammoth ships in a great battle such as Jutland...
Unworn Crown. Pious Jugoslavs, shivering bareheaded in the chilling rain, prayed aloud in unison as the stately Orthodox service began in Belgrade Cathedral, pack-jammed with royalty, statesmen and the corps diplomatique. Weeping beside the Duke of Kent was Princess Marina. Her brother-in-law Prince Paul, Jugoslavia's pallid, scholarly Chief Regent, barely controlled his grief.

Arriving nearly 200,000 strong each day, they drilled before the Realmleader on Zeppelin Meadows, a 48-acre field pack-jammed at every demonstration. As a special honor about 10% of each horde were privileged to goose-step past Realmleader Hitler in the public square, and, to make room for the marching columns, Nuremberg removed one of her most famed medieval monuments, the Fountain of Neptune, sacred to every tourist...
