...first six months TIME'S cover subjects included not only the figures of 1923 (Uncle Joe Cannon, Warren Harding, Eleanor Duse, King Fuad, Hugo Stinnes, Andrew Mellon, E. M.

She volunteered for service during the uprising, plunked a bomb on the house of Seyyid Riza, a rebel leader, killed him and so helped mightily to crush the rebellion. For her trouble the Turkish Government awarded...
