...single highway were jammed with refugees, walking, creaking along in wagons, only a few so lucky as to have automobiles. A trainload of war-wounded, had to wait hours every few miles while its crew repaired blown up rails. The diplomatic exodus came to rest at Sniatyn, a town near the Rumanian border where there were boarding school dormitories. Ambassador Biddle got a fine "mansion" on the main street. There were no lights, of course, and no running water, but his wife and family were safe. His British neighbors across the way marveled to see him sweating, stripping...
...target practice; in line with British belief that false hopes should not be raised, French troop movements on the Western Front were reported with so little detail they sounded downright dreamy. While Germany's Propaganda Ministry (see col. 2) exulted over the capture of each unpronounceable Polish town, and handed over photographs of Hitler at the front, Hitler comforting the wounded, Hitler sitting in an automobile, Hitler peering through a telescope, Lord Macmillan at first clamped down on all wire and radio photos.

...route. The cavalcade chugged westward on a 9,000-mile tour of 24 States. Whenever time permitted, the counsellors held lessons in history and geography, as prescribed in Promoter Rose's circulars. At night everybody pitched tents and, if the opportunity presented itself, Mr. Rose went off to town. Midway across Wyoming Mr. Rose, finding himself short of funds, organized a little side-trip into Yellowstone Park. For this he collected $4,000 extra. In Portland, Ore., broke again, he asked families back home for a "loan" of $50. Some parents anted up, others said it was the next...
