...Franco-Belgian discord is only just making itself felt. Belgium wishes to present a separate note to the Germans after receipt of the second Cuno offer. Her reply will be based upon Anglo-Italian support, which is precisely what France desires to avoid. It seems that France must either admit all the Allies into the Ruhr discussion or try to drown the harmony of an orchestra with a noisy trombone. It is, therefore, probable that an Allied reply will be sent to Berlin...
...severe oral quiz and a long thesis in addition to a high course record and certain specified studies, entitles the successful candidate to "Honors" or "Highest Honors".

That is the gist of the Soviet reply to Curzon. Much capital has been made out of a British warship, which is now in the White Sea, but it is certain that neither Britain nor Russia has any intention of going to war. The most that...
...Anglo-Belgian company announced that it will build a casino, erect restaurants and lay out pleasure grounds at its own expense. The Municipal Council of Heligoland decided to accept the proposition, principally on account of the bad financial state of the island and its inhabitants. It was also announced that the municipality will receive a percentage of the bank's receipts in exchange for the concession...
