...last a Mussolini was to be wed in church, for neither the Dictator nor his agnostic sire was. Puzzling is the obstinate refusal of Italy's Washington Embassy and Fascist authorities at Rome to state the place and date at which Rachele Agostini and Benito Mussolini contracted a valid marriage of any sort, for antiFascists charge that they never have...
Possibly the trouble is that His Holiness has not scrupulously paid the 10,000 rupees annual tribute he must pay the Mahara-jadhiraya of Nepal according to a still-valid "perpetual unity" signed in 1856. Whatever the trouble, the Grand Dalai Lama despatched couriers weeks ago who reached the terminus of a Chinese telegraph last week and sent frantic appeals for troops to the Chinese Nationalist Government in Nanking, promising to pay them well if they will travel and march about 2,500 miles to the defense of Lhasa...
...regret that a large number of American college men, both graduates and students, will see in the abolition of freshman cap-burning ceremonies at the University of New Hampshire a symbol of the academic times. . . . Similar time-honored ceremonies are being abolished at other colleges and universities for less valid reasons, and with them are, vanishing much of the picturesqueness of American student life...
Fully realizing how similar are the time-worn yet ever valid reasons for the study of Latin, we cannot refrain from repeating a recent piece of testimony.

Chester Morris, though highly histrionic, makes the part of Grischa believable, and the last sequences, especially the execution, are directed...
