Journalist Wheeler questions Martha Pattinson about the McEwan murder and Miss Boyd's disappearance. He presses for details while she deflects with sharp wit, noting police raids and hidden motives as they discuss past ties between McEwan and Holgate.
The article argues tennis and golf drives differ fundamentally. It notes court dimensions, vertical versus lateral control, and the speed of play. It contrasts solitary golf with adversarial tennis and explains why tennis follow through cannot mimic golf.
A 20 year old writer to a Sydney schoolmistress expresses pride in France and urges spreading truth of the war. She praises French sacrifice, mothers, and soldiers, notes the grim casualties, and vows life to France’s honor and a future of glory beyond suffering.
In the fragment a note mentions German officers being moved from one location to another. The text hints at guards or attendants and references attire or gear, but is garbled and lacks clear details or names. The piece reads like a clipped wartime notebook entry with damaged wording.
In wartime dispatches, Allied forces struggle to hold the Balkan corridor from Servia to Constantinople as German troops press from the north and Bulgarian units strike east. Analysts warn that a Berlin to Constantinople road threatens Egypt, Persia, and India, yet emphasize Serbs’ gallantry and the unlikely payoff of German expansion.
In a scattered debate style the piece quotes a Westminster Gazette editor and a Nation reviewer arguing over German failures on the Eastern and Western fronts. It questions Britain and France lending strength, Greece's assurances, and whether large forces can be fielded for distant campaigns.
Contending voices urge Britain and Allies to aid Servia despite risks to France and Belgium. Leaders warn abandonment would damage prestige and invite German gains, while Greek hesitation and Balkan tensions complicate intervention. Public figures stress rights of smaller nationalities and European stability.
A fragmented reminiscence recalls veteran editor Dr. St. Clair McKelway and an early scoop scheme on the New York World. The tale recounts a Brooklyn Herald feud, a fake mill fight tale, and Cooper’s clash with World staff over sensational reporting and newsroom deception.
The article notes Gar Misleter’s hundreds of converts drawn by his vivid descriptions of Heaven, portraying him as a persuasive figure. The fragment also includes odd dialogue about bedtimes and a locked Pack door, cited from the Detroit Free Press.
