Annapolis '81. One plot in the National Cemetery at Arlington, Va., is set aside for members of the Class of 1881 of the U. S. Naval Academy. This plot was dug open last week to receive a casket from Mount Auburn Cemetery, Boston, containing the body of onetime (1921-25) U. S. Secretary of War John Wingate Weeks, who died July 12, 1926. Chief of Chaplains of the Army John T. Axton (see p. 11) read the committal service...

...noted by the trio of correspondents that the brick wall against which General Quijana died was already pockmarked with the bullets of many revolutions. The tale of Mexico, especially during the last twenty years, has been one full of sound and fury. With Calles as its chief narrator the plot is thickened with blood and iron. When he announces: "I will put down the revolution," as he did this week, Calles is fighting not only for the survival of his experiment in government, but also for his life. The end of a Mexican presidential career and of the life...
