...front page Mr. Gandhi's use of Christian acts as a weapon against men with Christian beliefs. Only in exceptional publications like Asia (U. S. monthly) has the religious side of India's passive battle with England been described at graphic length by men like "Upton Close" (pseudonym of Joseph Washington Hall, probably the greatest historian of contemporary Asia, certainly the one closest in tune with Asians), and C. F. Andrews, an Englishman who used to be St. Gandhi's secretary. In the daily press, taboo keeps Gandhi to the fore as a sort of quaint fool with spinning wheel...
Stephen Crane, 14th child of a Methodist pastor, was born in Newark. N. J.. in 1871, became a newspaperman at an early age. His first novel, Maggie, a Girl of the Streets, was printed at his own expense, under a pseudonym; it fell flat.

He served in a Cuban filibustering expedition, the Greco-Turkish War; Spanish-American War. The last few years of his life he lived in England, was a great & good friend of the late...
Great last week was the tittle-tattle which floated about Manhattan concerning next year's Metropolitan Opera plans.

...publishers, but to the London Graphic (illustrated weekly) goes the well-merited palm for ultimate journalistic impertinence. It has equipped one Dr. Erich Salomon, under the pseudonym of "Cyclops," with a camera which will take pictures of people where they have never been successfully snapped before?in ordinary electric lamp light. This enables him, for example, to attend a great banquet and photograph a queen with a spoonful of soup at her lips. For the past ten months the Graphic has published such stealth-got snapshots. Last week Graphic readers smirked and tittered at the "Unsuspected Moments" page. Not only...
This cynic admired one man: Napoleon. In the disastrous campaign against Russia, Henri followed him, this time as a member of the Emperor's staff. With the abdication of Napoleon, Henri took refuge in Italy, turned to literature. His first book, under the pseudonym Louis Alexandre Cesar Bombet, was proved to be a plagiarism from one Carpani. From Henri's point of view, however his version was merely a brilliant condensation of a dull book. He was looked on with suspicion by the Austrian authorities in Italy, who thought he might be a Carbonaro, and finally was expelled...
