...There are times when it is necessary to speak clearly. Messieurs, the whole fate of French finances rests on your decision." Such was the climax of a great speech in the Chamber of Deputies last week-a speech that came in compact, persuasive phrases from Premier Raymond Poincaré. At 66 and long since a greybeard, he retains in debate the vigor and combative strength of youth. Last week, in his secondary role of Finance Minister, M.

When January has been devoted to Spinoza or January has been devoted to Spinoza or Jonson what is the fate of July? In other words--should the college man read during vacation and if so, what?

There Tristram, "orgulous and full of fate," is discovered lamenting the irony of the wedding he has blindly arranged for his gaunt-armed Uncle Mark, a "man-shaped goat" with a salacious eye. Having awakened late to its meaning for him, Tristram has a name upon his lips that becomes a cry, a despairing exultation: "Isolt, Isolt...
