Ferene Molnar apparently takes issue with Ford Madox Ford in the latter's dictum that "New York Is Not America." Back in that dear Budapest after a whirlwind visit to Broadway and environs the playwright says that there is but one wonder in the world and that is the city of New York...
Newsgatherers drew from Amir Amanullah, last week, an intimation that he plans to visit "the chief capitals of Europe" on his present tour, and may possibly extend it by a brief trip to the U. S. When an English correspondent asked, "Is Your Majesty a friend of Great Britain?" shrewd Amir Amanullah replied: "I will answer that question after I have spoken to Sir Austen Chamberlain" (British Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs).

Boston had the honor last week of being first to entertain Maurice Ravel, French composer, come for his first U. S. visit.

In Chicago no bricks were thrown at President Cosgrave, for "Big Bill" had instructed his people that such procedure is not good form in receiving an honored visitor. Chicago has outstripped Boston in its cordiality to a British sympathizer; for Cosgrave is so looked upon by the Irish Republicans. His omission of a visit to Boston is generally ascribed to a fear of hostility from that direction in Boston. The situation is anomalous. But then they...
