For the first time since the war started, Italians had the uncomfortable sensation of shells bursting on their side of the line...

Knowing his constitution to have been weakened and his heart severely strained by his illness eight years ago, the King exerted himself before winter and its dangers should come...
...refusing to reveal to a grand jury the sources of his news stories about New York's numbers game, roughly coincided with Exclusive Story's premiere in Manhattan last week. The revelations range from the not particularly astounding information that racketeers browbeat small shopkeepers and sometimes shoot each other, to the more alarming but less plausible hypothesis that the Mono Castle (called in the picture the Mochado} was ignited by a shipload of liquid fire owned by a Manhattan crime cabal...
