...Kermesse Flamande, held in Horticultural Hall for the benefit of the Belgian Relief Fund, will be given today for the last time.

Madame Vandervelde's appeal in the Union several days ago ought to have sufficiently sounded the call for assistance for a suffering people...
...sporadic production brought about by varied industrial seasons are among the principal causes of our continuous amount of employment, as stated by Mr. Walter Hinkle, of the New England Committee of Intercollegiate Socialists, before the Socialist Club last night.
