...place him in an economic strait jacket. With them around, his chance of getting it for himself is small but he has every reason for cooperating with Turkey and Bulgaria to keep his rivals out, chiefly by lending the use of his Black Sea Fleet based on Nikolaev and Sevastopol. If Hitler and Mussolini are seriously weakened so that he does not have to fear war with them, he might well attempt to extend his control down the west shore of the Black Sea, but that is an opportunity he can only wait and hope for. His major problem...
...daughter and fell in love with his cousin, Katherine St. Quentyn. Worse, he took advantage of Katherine's pity to spoil her good name. Luckily the Crimean War had begun or the St. Quentyns would have certainly called him out. Alastair tried his best to be killed before Sevastopol but only succeeded in losing an arm, while every St. Quentyn who might have pistoled him went down to death and glory. Home again as a hero, Alastair found himself friends with Katherine. Like a sensible Chappell he decided to marry a soldier's career. He had no room...

...Russia. Archeologists have long known the ruins of New Chersonese, an old Greek settlement, near the modern Crimean city of Sevastopol. But they had never found the more ancient site of Old Chersonese which Strabo, famed Greek geographer, described. Two years ago Professor Markevitch, Crimean archeologist, told the Moscow Archeological Society to stop scratching in the earth, to look under the sea for Old Chersonese. Fishermen had told him of a wonderful submarine city off the coast of Sevastopol. Russian scientists set to work soon afterward with divers and giant searchlights, found Old Chersonese 210 ft. offshore. The city stretches...
...this year War Minister Leon Trotzky had built up the "Red Army" sufficiently to harass and wear down the "White Armies" to vanishing white hopes. Denikin was driven from Ekaterinodar and fled to Constantinople. Baron Wrangel retreated to Sevastopol, lost it, and likewise fled-to turn up recently in Belgium, still "White" (TIME, Dec. 27). The "Red Terror," a series of extraordinary measures resorted to in time of stress, crystallized into the still active Soviet secret police...
