...Important stage direction: the Judge, the prosecutor, and the defense attorney are all recovering from severe colds. The Judge, normally firm-voiced, speaks in a stage whisper.

Rebuttal. New York banks most closely associated with the House of Morgan are: First National, Guaranty Trust, Bankers Trust, New York Trust.

Meanwhile, however, the Japanese advance to occupy Jehol Province (TIME, Jan. 16 et seq.) was not pushed last week. Japanese planes reconnoitered and dropped a few bombs but no battle or skirmish of importance took place...
