...defeated and prostrate Turkey watched the destruction of its forts by the victors. In 1923 the Treaty of Lausanne decreed that the famed Straits should be open to all ships, should never again be fortified by Turkey. Last fortnight Turkey's President Mustafa Kamal ("Grey Wolf") Ataturk moved to scrap the Treaty of Lausanne, refortify the strategic Dardanelles...
...Locarno Pact." Except from Italy's point of view, this was hardly true. The original peace treaty with Turkey was the ignominious Treaty of Sévres which stripped Turkey and partitioned it into French and Italian "spheres of influence."

Headmaster Frederick Herbert Sill of Kent School, which graduated young James Perry in 1928, sermonized in the Providence Cathedral last week: "You have had the heart of a priest from your boyhood. You were dedicated...
...slave insurrection in Virginia in 1800, and such a theme requires greatness. It is beside the point that greatness is still to seek nowadays, since the long-awaited and long-heralded "great American novel" is in abeyance, and there is scarcely a critic who has not called "Wolf!" too many times, once again in the case of the author who fathered 'Of Time and the River.'
