...northwest was used only by beef boats (and occasionally by Beatty's fast battle cruisers) until the Hampshire (with Lord Kitchener aboard) was sunk by a German mine outside it. Then it was closed by mines, as it doubtless is again this time. Hoxa Sound on the south is the deepest and widest approach. Here are a "boom" and submarine net barrier* as well as hundreds of mines, doubtless of the controlled type operable by electric switch ashore. Infrared "electric eye" detectors for surface craft are also believed installed at Hoy and Hoxa. To pick his way through such...
...Kembs (in front of Mulhouse), due warning was given to the German side. Evacuation of 300,000 civilians from Mulhouse to Biarritz on the Bay of Biscay was begun by the French this week. This hinted that the French may expect a real German push at her Belfort Gate, south end of the Maginot-Westwall stalemate, or through the Swiss side door. > Machine gunners on the forefront of the German advance wore steel armor covering them from neck to crotch.

Its 14 large, high-ceilinged rooms are filled with obsolete instruments, antique pictures, books about music of the long ago. Inseparable bachelors, they act, talk, think alike, have identical handwriting, birthdays within 24 hours of each other (June 29 and 30). Though they have toured the whole U. S., they have never appeared in Manhattan because Manhattan concert managers insist that they hire their own hall...
...numerous Catholic priests who have been disturbed by the participation of Catholics in these groups is Rev. Paul B. Ward, Paulist father, editor of Wisdom (monthly Paulist organ). Few weeks ago the October Wisdom appeared with a brief story about how a leader of the Christian Mobilizers had gone south to a Ku Klux Klan meeting. Forthwith, Father Ward's office was ransacked. He was warned, anonymously, that his life was in danger. He was informed, by telephone, that his church would be picketed. Father Ward called the police...
