Perceiving the obvious, Candidate Walsh wrote a polite letter to his campaign manager terminating his candidacy. He referred to the "futility" of any man opposing Candidate Smith. Candidate Reed was less polite, more stubborn. He said he only wished Mr. Walsh had withdrawn "before he muddied the water." Candidate Reed pictured himself as "a General in a war" and said he would not surrender because he had lost a "skirmish." He men tioned "great issues" and said: "The convention at Houston will at least have a chance to vote on them...
...Stubborn correspondents have insisted, for some months, that the "Roman Question" would be solved during 1928. In imagination they have fairly hustled the "Prisoner of the Vatican" out of his retirement and into a concordat with his erstwhile "Jailers," King Vittorio Emanuele and Prime Minister Benito Mussolini. Rumors to this effect were cabled last month, in extenso, even by respected Salvatore Cortesi, who has served the Associated Press in Rome for 25 years.

These German actors have a serious, slow, almost stubborn way of performing which is utterly convincing. The shooting of the scenes from striking angles, the sudden change of-tempo and the superb lighting effects make Primanerliebe another reason why U. S. producers should take some more hints from Germanv...
What seemed to have occurred was that several thousand rural bravos & marauders descended upon Leiyang to stage a good old-fashioned glut. Whole families were tortured until they told the whereabouts of valuables and gold. Dirty thumbs with ragged nails gouged out the eyes of stubborn misers or those who really had no gold. Finally surviving citizens of Leiyang were herded and penned into buildings which were lighted and burned amid awful outcries. The heathen, glutted to repletion, spread their grins and carried off their loot. Supplementary despatches confirmed that those burned & butchered numbered approximately...
