Next day 23 of the officers, mostly captains, sailed for Paris aboard the President Harding while General De Witt, sure that his guides would behave themselves under any temptation, returned to Washington to complete arrangements for the wholesale excursions. The first group of 255 women, largely from Nebraska, will sail May 7. Eighteen other contingents will follow during the summer. Each group of 25 women (average age, 65) will be provided with an officer to conduct them to the military cemeteries, a trained nurse and free medicines to guard their health. The free trip of two weeks abroad represents...
Pianist Vladimir Horowitz arrived in Manhattan from Chicago last week, gave a final recital which elicited the customary superlatives, hurried off to Camden, N.

After two days' practice in Connecticut the Harvard University 150-pound boat, and the Kent eight, rowing over the Henley distance on the Housatonic river, raced to the finish in a dead heat. The time was 6 minutes, 35 seconds. The Kent oarsmen, who sail in June for the royal Henley regatta in England, drew abreast of the University lightweights after trailiing by half a length at the three-quarter mile mark...
