...well-tried almanac. He knows an amazing number of them personally. Twenty years ago this month, when he had already served fourteen years in Congress, he was quoted in the New York Sun as saying that he never forgot a name, that he never failed to shake a hand thrust out at him, that he never failed to answer a letter, and that his personal correspondence had been known to exceed twenty thousand letters annually...
...respondents promptly accused the I. C. C., as it had been accused before, of presuming to equalize prosperity between two competing sections of the country, i.e. to help the West Virginia, Pennsylvania and Ohio coal interests out of the bog into which their labor troubles have thrust them.

Friends of Count Bethlen had, moreover, allegedly assured Baron Havatny that his attacks had been "forgotten." Last week he was arrested on a new warrant, learned that stern, glacial, silent Dictator Count Bethlen does not forget...
...Such thrift was long the despair of the French. It may even have prevented an Allied victory in the early years of the War. But Sir Douglas Haig was inflexible in believing that Britain's "new army" should not join the professional army of France in a desperate thrust "to win or lose it all." Of his attitude famed Winston Churchill, now Chancellor of the Exchequer, has written: "On questions which, in his view, involved the safety of the British armies under his command, Sir Douglas Haig-right or wrong-was, whenever necessary, ready to resign." Not until...
