...which men mapped out for the World at Paris in 1919. One of them was the refusal of the U. S. to ratify the Treaty of Versailles, which meant that President Wilson's promise to Belgium was nullified. And the thought of many Belgians was expressed recently by Paul Hymans, Foreign Minister at the Versailles Conference, who asked in a session of Parliament at Brussels: "Who could have imagined in 1919 that the signature of President Wilson would today be disowned...
Legal occupation and remuneration takes men from public life. It had been announced that Charles E. Hughes was retained as attorney for the receivers of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul R. R. Last week it appeared likewise that John W. Davis, onetime Ambassador to the court of St. James's, onetime Democratic candidate for President, is acting as attorney for Cornelius Vanderbilt Whitney (TIME, July 6, MUSIC), defendant in a breach of promise suit for $1,000,000 started by Evan Burrows Fontaine, famed cabaret dancer...
Among the many schemes to rehabilitate the St. Paul Railroad, not the least ingenious is that worked out by the receivers, Mark W. Potter and Edward J. Brundage, and known as the "Potter plan."

The St. Paul wants a rate increase on any terms that promise its own solvency. Shippers growl at much higher rates. These interests are well cared for by the plan. But the rival roads...
Disgraceful. A crowd in Newark, N. J., hooted and jeered. Ringside humorists expressed the idea that they had come to see a boxing match, not a pillow fight between a couple of roommates. In the center of the ring Paul Berlenbach, cloudy-faced Light Heavyweight Champion, stood with his huge arms around Tony Marullo, New Orleans fondler. Now and then they stepped apart, dealt each other coy fillips. The referee warned the fighters against petting. They did not heed. Customers' catcalls grew louder. At length the referee ended the disgraceful scene, ordered both from the ring...
