...gave to war is a deep condemnation on my soul. . . . Men cannot have Christ and war at the same time. I renounce war." Such a fervent outpouring of words came last week not from some pacifist who makes a living on the lecture platform, not from some battle-scarred veteran who had staggered back from the depths, but from a brisk and business-like Man of God named Harry Emerson Fosdick. During the War Dr. Fosdick had "stimulated raiding parties to their murderous tasks'' from Y. M. C. A. huts behind the lines. Today as the personal pastor...
...governorship. Chief contender appeared to be Attorney General William A. Schnader, endorsed by the Mellon-Vare machine. His motto: "I refuse to sell you a gold brick." Among the rash of twelve other Republican candidates, most promising was Lieut. Governor Edward C. Shannon, a conservative out-state farmer with veteran backing. For Senator, Joseph Guffey, Democratic boss of the state, was whooping up his own candidacy. In 1890 he went to Princeton, met and admired Woodrow Wilson, made money in oil in Pittsburgh.

So far as veterans are concerned, the Spanish War Veterans, the veterans' organization known as the "U. & W. V." (very few, if any of whom are Legionnaires), are far more interested in the passing of this bill than any Legionnaire...
...Finally he picked a political dummy for Alejandro Lerroux named Ricardo Samper Ibanez, an owlish, spectacled lawyer from Valencia and Lerroux's onetime Minister of Industry & Commerce. All but three of the Lerroux Cabinet were reappointed. Most notable omission was cultivated dome-browed Salvador de Madariaga, trilingual veteran of dozens of League conferences at Geneva...
