Finally Dr. Bach broke the deadlock by appearing to yield. He would order the golden marks paid, if Herr Langkopf would accompany him to the Cashier's office. As they rose, the nervous finger of Herr Langkopf accidentally depressed the detonator, but all that ensued was a slight "ping." Dr. Bach, seeing his chance, dashed for his life. Distracted Heinrich Langkopf drew a revolver and fired into the bomb which still failed to explode. An instant later strong hands collared...
These charges are familiar, but what gave them weight last week was a statement by Chancellor of Austria Monsignor Ignaz Seipel. He rose in the Austrian Parliament and declared "The treatment of the Lower Tyroleans is in our opinion incompatible with minority rights, and is a hindrance to further amicable relations between Austria and Italy, which are very desirable."

But of whatever type they were, and wherever they lived, they improved their lots. The more difficult it was to gain a livelihood, the quicker and the farther they rose in mentality and spirit. And the purer a race kept itself, the quicker and higher it rose among its neighbors. Today, writes the shrewdly erudite president of the American Museum of Natural History, "purity of race is found in but one nation-the Scandinavian." But, he laments, "so many...
