...timberlands of Russia were underselling the western manufactured product. It appeared evident that Matchmaker Kreuger had come to establish a 100% monopoly in Germany as he had done in other countries. Indignant, the patriotic German press published premature announcements of the plan. It was stated that Swedish Match Co. would buy the monopoly by offering the government a loan of 600,000,000 marks (about $144,000,000). Last week despite public opposition Ivar Kreuger made the match, a more clever and less offensive match than had been first suggested. Terms of the new monopoly provided for a continuation...
Herr Kreuger is a rather slight man with a large, somewhat bald head, a high forehead and prominent cheekbones. He is a great admirer of Cecil Rhodes and Dr. Jameson.

Attending members studied and discussed hospital improvement plans, cancer research, industrial surgery, treatment of fractures, eye-ear-nose-&-throat surgery, care of crippled children. Acrimonious was the discussion on hospitals. Charged William James Mayo: "I would call attention to the clandestine-if I may use so opprobious a term-method of increasing hospital income by exorbitant charges for the use of the operating room. . . ." Passionately retorted Director Warren Pearl Morrill of the Maine General Hospital, Portland: "If some surgeons would forego the pomp and circumstances demanded...
Last week the United States Daily's publisher, Princeton-educated, Associated Press-trained David Lawrence, sent a letter to his subscribers announcing that he would attempt something new. To the Daily's patient chronicle of the Federal scene were to be added the minutes of government in all the 48 States...
