Meeting after the results of the referendum were tabulated, the Student Council last night incorporated into its by-laws a comprehensive new "constitution" for the organization of Freshman activities. The salient feature of the new system is the choosing of the Smoker and Jubilee committees partly by election and partly by appointment...
Probably the most debated point in postwar Soviet history was the "last testament" supposedly left by Lenin. Most salient point in the alleged document was a proposal to get rid of Stalin "because he is too crude." Stalinists have long denied its genuineness; best Trotskyist argument is that Stalin once quoted it and that Stalin once admitted: "Yes, I am rough, rough on those who roughly and faithlessly try to destroy the 'Communist Party...
...dragged up some heavy artillery back of Perl at their supposedly "weak" corner by the Luxembourg frontier, where the right flank of a German assault would be protected by neutral territory.

The Germans did some fairly heavy shelling farther east in the Wissembourg sector, to which the French replied in kind. On the Rhine frontier, the French tried some...
Continued quiet in the ticklish Forbach salient, overlooking the ghost industrial city of Saarbrücken, led observers to guess that the German onslaught there last month, which for a time had the French defenders entirely cut off from support and supplies (TIME, Nov. 13), was a typical German "information" offensive, designed to find out what the French command will do in given circumstances rather than to take an objective now.

Forbach is outside the Maginot Line and its forts overlook the German city in the Saar Valley below. The French push of September brought other artillery up to assist Forbach's in dominating Saarbrücken, paralyzing its industry. The French retreat in October left Forbach sticking out like a sore thumb. By last week the Germans had brought...
