France is again in the throes of a political scandal which in more normal times would be creating a world-wide sensation. M. Malvy, for several years Minister of the Interior, whose activities had been shown up in a very bad light at the time of the Bolo Pasha scandal, and who had been subsequently accused in the Chamber of being in league with Germany, requested recently a trial before the Senate for high treason. But the Special Committee of Thirty-Three, charged with the investigation of the accused, has rejected this proposal and suggested to the Chamber that...
...consummation devoutly to be wished. But will the average New Yorker recognize his most famous thoroughfare again after such a sudden transformation by elimination of the mining-camp excavations, the derricks and littered side-walks? Years have now elapsed since the city's streets have been in anything like normal condition, although originally we were assured that the "cut-and-cover" method of excavation would leave scarcely a scar on their fair surface. We have grown accustomed to chaos, to climbing up temporary stairways, winding through improvised galleries, or hurdling over a zone of desolation like that in France...

Theirs is no easy task; they have as much work to carry on as their predecessor, yet with only half the old number of assistants. So we must get out of our heads the idea that these elections are merely a formality. Good officers and a respected class go hand in hand...
Both teams have not had much practice but every player is an individual marvel or he would never be on the field. The undergraduate sympathy will doubtless be with the Navy for its line-up contains four men who, if this were a normal year, would be representing the University. Clark, Murray, Casey and Enwright will all start the game; it is Casey's first appearance in the Stadium since we watched him wriggle through the Princeton line last year...
...short flights to demonstrate his ability and to learn the machine, he was sent up for practice in spiraling. For this you ascend to 1,000 metres and from that altitude you spiral down to 600 metres where you stop the spiral and descend to the ground in normal and wide turns. He commenced his spirals normally, but, when at 600 metres, he did not stop. At about this altitude the machine "slipped off on a wing" (side-slipped) and then went into a nose drive. It struck the ground in this attitude. Two possible reasons for the accident...
