Since in Russia it has always been more important to know the exceptions than to know the rules, citizens of Moscow accepted with stoicism last week the revelation that in their Soviet midst a total of 1,667 Capitalist landlords have survived to harass the proletariat with extortionate rents. According to the Government Press, which professed itself scandalized, one Moscow landlady is now suing before a Red court to compel a proletarian family to pay her a bonus of 5,000 rubles for the privilege of not being evicted. When the suit appeared to be dragging on. Moscow...

Spurned by a Socialist Austrian Government, which exercised mercy only in saving the Habsburgs from being butchered as the Romanovs were butchered, Little Otto's uninspiring father, Kaiser Karl, was allowed to slip away...
With the militarists riding high, Poland's Socialist Party appealed to all workers to stage a 24-hour general strike in protest against the new Constitution's electoral provisos which stifle Democracy. Contemptuous of the proletariat, Army bigwigs gossiped in their cafes chiefly about who is going to be elected Poland's next President. Today the candidate of the "Colonel's Clique" to succeed Scientist Moscicki as President is able, energetic, shrewd General Kazimierz Sosnkowski, close crony of Inspector General Edward Rydz-Smigly who was expected to try to repeat Marshal Pilsudski's feat...
