...misinformation about the British Navy was published last week by the New York Times, which labors scrupulously to satisfy Secretary Knox. It published a picture of a British sailor being invalided home (he came into New York Harbor aboard the Empress of Asia) and captioned it "a bearded British tar whose ship was sunk in the Battle of Crete. . . ."

Mr. Roosevelt patted his moist forehead, dictated a note to "My dear Bob" telling him he did not much care for the results of the committee's 14 weeks' work.

...last week the South Americans were full-fledged U. S. collegians. Some were on the staff of the Daily Tar Heel, some in the chorus of an undergraduate musical comedy. Crowning gesture of good will: Chilean Señorita Sylvia Goich, running against five campus beauties, was elected queen of North Carolina's annual student-faculty...
