Variety, adventure and human interest are elements which stand out primarily in Dr. Grenfell's talks. For twenty-eight years he has acted as a surgeon, fought disease and given aid to thousands of fisherman who have been held up on ice floes on the Labrador Coast. He and his assistants cared for over 12,000 patients in one year in their eight hospitals on land and the five on sea. Moreover, being almost the sole agent of civilization in the bleak north, his work has been extended so that he now operates a children's home, two industrial stations...
...Hawali, Samoa and the Philippines. She can not lay down her white man's burden in this quarter of the globe without leaving chaos behind and without inviting the occupation of these lands by perhaps another power. These Pacific possessions are the outer defense of the American western coast line and the transmission points of her western civilizing influence in the East. She is working out great problems in her treatment of native races and Australia hopes to follow along the lines America has laid down...

Italy's military prestige and the moral support that the Treaty of London gave to her attempts, have made them afraid to push matters too far; all they...
According to the agreement, the Jugo-Slavs are to get most of the Dalmatian coast, and, as a further sop to their pride, concessions have been made on their western boundaries. Italy is to receive Zara and certain strategic islands in the Adriatic; while Fiume, although established by the agreement a free state, not even subject to the League, is virtually an Italian protectorate, since Italian influence is dominant in municipal affairs. The port itself will be used freely by both parties, however, so that the Jugo-Slavs come out of the affair rather well. Above all, the settlement bids...
