Despite his successive defeats, friends of Soldier-Poloist Tremayne insist that he is not one to quail before enemy fire; that he will next year return to competition...

...Soviet citizens imprisoned or detained in China be instantly released. Atrocity stories reaching Moscow told of 40 Red Comrades chained and beaten by Chinese and White Russians at Pogranichnaya, Manchuria. Fired by these tales, thousands of proletarians mass-met at Leningrad and voted a manifesto: "The Leningrad workers insist that the Soviet Government take decisive steps against the haughty Chinese and the White Guard bands. . . .
