This December has witnessed a French Revolution of Lilliputian dimensions, with Committees of Safety, Tribunals and Robespierres appearing to defend strange principles and candidates of questionable qualifications for governing this diminutive republic of four hundred citizens. Social and political factions have sprung from superficial causes of difference hitherto unknown. Campaigning, electioneering and forming of combinations have been rife. In fact the supposedly mature, intelligent Seniors of Harvard University have descended to the low, despicable methods of a well-conducted Tammany Hall election, in order to elect twenty-two class officers...
...past six months, he had been working on the development of a new process for chlorination, one of the most widely used and important reactions in organic chemistry. This process appears to have certain fundamental advantages over any hitherto known. In spite of his quietness, and the anger with which he would have rejected such a suggestion, he had the power of seeing visions. He realized as all too few people in America do realize that a nation's welfare both in war and peace depends very closely on the science and industry of chemistry, and will in the future...

When this was done the Vosges section took charge of the work in the important sector extending from Metzeral to the famous Hartmanswellerkopf, where it opened up to motor transport the hitherto inaccessible mountain "postes de secours." This new work was made possible by the use of Fords. During the same month the French asked for a new section to send to Pont-a-Mousson. Following this a section was detailed to Dunkirk. Gradually the number of sections has been increased to nine...
