...Madrid. IL Duce kept this up until 48 hours before a great mass meeting of French radicals was about to force the hand of Premier Leon Blum with demands that his Cabinet rush similar aid to the Spanish Radical armies.

Appointed on recommendation of Representative Nicholas Longworth, long before that T. R. son-in-law became Speaker of the House, Midshipman Farnsworth won a certain notoriety for his bibulous escapades, was recognized by classmates as an able scholar and tactician. Few years after graduation he took up aviation, studied hard and long, became a Lieutenant Commander in 1925. Two years later his Naval career ended dismally when a court-martial dismissed him from...
