Indeed, the spectacle of Germanophobe France paying all-highest honor to a dead German would be rib-crackingly funny if it were not so heartrendingly serious. The French chose their unknown poilu at random and because of that very fact it has on occasion been hinted that he was a U. S. doughboy, a Senegalese rifleman. It has also been stated before that he was a German, but never proved. Suffice it to say that the decomposed body under the stone slabs of the driveway of the Arc de Triomphe is, to the minds of Frenchmen, a Frenchman...
...athletic managerships, for musical activities, and for the college publications. The printed announcements are brief and unsatisfactory. They bear the name of the activity, the hour at which the candidates are to assemble, the length of the competition, perhaps, and little more.

Thus, the Baltimore Post's alleged offense was in making known the payments of five separate citizens, to wit, the Messrs. Daniel Willard (railroad man), Waldo Newcomer (capitalist), and J.

The Romantic Lady itself is the story of a lady of surpassing charm who chooses her husbands somewhat at random and divorces them with equal facility. Fay Richmond is about a man and a girl, and the realization of their love which came too late-but not too late for a still later fleeting consummation. Consuelo tells of another dazzling woman whose honor-and the physical well-being of whose...
