...Fascist march on Rome was wholly militant and partially armed. It compelled a quavering cabinet to yield, to vanish. Very different was a march upon Bucharest last week, staged by 60,000 peaceful peasants. Their revered leader, Dr. Juliu Maniu, threatened no more than that the peasants would wait quietly in the streets for four days, meanwhile petitioning Premier Vintila Bratiano to resign...
...distance between Europe and America is just as great and effectual as it was when Edgar Lee Masters wrote of the Spoon River artist at Rome, with his work that looked now like Apollo, now like Lincoln. What has long gone without attention across the water still creates a tumult here. Chiselled marble brings a self-conscious blush to the cheeks of the New World, when it turns from its machines to play the esthete. And, after all why need it be ashamed of its lack of artistic sophistication: No European culture was budding let alone flowering, in as short...
Achilla Ambrogio Damiano Ratti, Pope Pius XI, is surely one of the world's most busy men. Last week especially did he toil in the hushed and shadowy gardens of the Vatican in Rome.

S. worshippers came, and at which...
Several circumstances in the city of Rome demanded the Pope's attention. One was the solemn benediction performed, near the Forum, by an abbot and a troupe of assorted monks, upon a bevy of parked automobiles. Holy water was sprinkled upon the radiators of the cars in honor of Santa Francesca Romana, a patroness of motorists. The other circumstances were connected with Vatican Bond Issue, sold in the U. S., to finance the building of the College for the Propaganda of the Faith, potent Catholic Missionary institution. The Pope had summoned George William Cardinal Mundelein of Chicago to Rome...
