Samuel Inbull Grabs Major Chicago Park Interests
The Review notes Samuel Inbull now controls the Chicago area amusement park property through direct or indirect stakes in the town’s giant holdings. The purchase places the site under the influence of the Chicago interests including the Commonwealth Mortgage Company and Public Review Company of Hitness, valued at over eight hundred thousand dollars. Forest Park residents hoped for a county park, but likely the land will be developed by Inbull’s network and preserved locally only as an asset.

Milk Faith Foiled by History in Tardy Diet Debate
The writer laments milk's touted role in daily meals while noting 60,000 more dairy cows in the region.

The piece shifts to reflections on France, Germany, and WWI impacts, praising German efficiency and German women amid war's toll, contrasting with French postwar ruin and the futility of seeking lasting peace through talk alone.
