...editor who wrote your story of Emden (TIME, Oct. 16) drew freely on his imagination, particularly in respect to the escape of the crew on board the Ayesha. Lieut. Capt. Helmuth von Mikke's account in his book Ayesha relates that the landing force of approximately 56 men, sent ashore by Capt. Miller to destroy the wireless station on Keeling Island (English), did just that and was caught ashore when the cruiser Sidney engaged and sank the Emden. Contrary to your romantic "jungle hiding," the landing party which was, of course, now in command of the island, outfitted...
From England, where denunciation had been loudest, now came a "defense" more destructive than any attack so far. Wrote Author Harold Nicolson, in whose "Long Barn" estate at the foot of the Kentish weald Lindbergh stayed during his English exile: "He emerged from that ordeal (the 1932 kidnap-murder of his son) with a loathing for publicity that was almost pathological.

Before making such indiscreet statements, he might well study the historical background of this nation, and re-examine the problems of today in its light. He would then find that the propagandists of the last war wrote better than they knew, that the only war this country will ever fight is one which it believes will end war. This, it is not likely to believe again...
...harbor bound for--no one seems to know, just "Outward Bound." Passengers gather in the bar and try to figure it all out. By the third act the ship has reached its destination, and they all know. With this fantastic idea as a frame-work, Sutton Vane wrote a play that hit the jack-pot on Broadway a decade or so ago. Recently William A. Brady has revived the play and it has hit the jack-pot again...
