...Hubert Work, new chairman of the Republican National Committee, said he would issue no important campaign statement last week. His stated reason: "Courtesy to the Democrats." Dr. Work was much occupied with finishing off his duties as Secretary of the Interior, preparatory to resigning. Dr. Work did, nevertheless, make some statements. He said: "We need only about two months. . . . Our campaign will be a real pep rally!" He said: "I never heard of a President of the United States making campaign speeches."

One day later, Captain Otto Schwamberger, master of the Hamburg, sailed on his ship in quarters much too small for him. Reason: Mr. and Mrs. Fleischmann missed the Paris, watched three little Fleischmanns with governess, family trunks, sail without them. A feverish search for reservations on following boats was unavailing. Obligingly, Capt. Schwamberger gave up his suite to pursuing parents...
...Manchu Dynasty, in 1912, whereby the abdicated Boy Emperor was guaranteed the retention of his palace in Peking and a pension of 4,000,000 taels per year. Feng brushed this contract aside, ousted the Boy Emperor from his palace, and gave that young man such good reason to suspect that he would be murdered that, with the aid of his British tutor, Mr. R. F. Johnston, he escaped the guard set over him by Feng, fled to the Japanese concession at Tientsin and still resides there as "Mr. Henry...
