...allies of France, Rumania and Czechoslovakia also sent bombing planes, partly to ensure the safety of Rumanian King Carol and Czechoslovak Foreign Minister Eduard Benes, partly to remind grief-stricken Jugoslavia of her treaty ties with France.

A longtime fur trader, Hero Dorbandt lately was accused by the Federal Government of smuggling pelts into the U. S. Last month in Seattle...

After strenuous protest from tanners, RFC last week agreed to advance $10,000,000 to hold surplus hides off the market until demand increases or they can be dumped abroad...
