...details for Their Majesties' 26-day train tour of the Dominion (and five-day visit to the U. S.), the liner Empress of Australia, bearing their precious persons from England, groped through blinding fog, shied away from towering icebergs and treacherous, low-floating "growlers," made hooting, painfully slow progress westward. It was a bad crossing from the start. Three days out George had to muffle up and Elizabeth stayed mostly indoors as a 60-mile gale whipped the Empress, tossing up mighty waves that washed over her gunwales. The wallowing sent many of the retinue discreetly to their cabins...
...fearful that the Socialists in the Reichstag (the Social Democratic Party had 112 seats out of 397 in 1912) might forget their "revisionist" doctrines and adopt the naked class war propounded by Karl Marx. Lacking internal flexibility and with the shaky Austro-Hungarian Empire messing up the possibilities of progress to the east, the German economic system had seemingly reached its limits of growth as far back as 1914, Germany's "assisted capitalism" had run head-on into Germany's poverty of resources-a circumstance which was to have an ominous parallel 25 years later...

In the final analysis, it is simply a question of whether the giants will continue to progress and to create, or whether they will stolidly rest on past achievement. An in this case, the augurs are generally favorable...
Horse & Buggy Practice. So rapid has been the scientific progress of medicine that a great number of physicians are practicing "horse and buggy" medicine according to the rules of the past generation at the expense of "the defenceless sick." Dr. Bernheim's remedy: medical licenses should be granted not for life but for periods of five years. This would allow young graduates a five-year trial period in which to find themselves, would make it necessary for specialists to secure separate licenses to work in their chosen fields. Since they would have to take periodical examinations, doctors would find...
