Revival of the Czars tale a world of rumor and doubt

Reflections on the fate of the former czar and his family with speculation that he survived Ekaterinburg while the Bolsheviks killed others. The piece questions neutrality and cites Von Eckhardt’s German machinations to sway Mexico against the United States during World War I.

Exit Von Eckhardt

A fragmented passage reflects on Von Eckhardt and a failed alignment with Hallies during a war. It suggests potential gains from exporting minerals and oils but asserts the government leaned pro-German. A recall from Mexico and diplomatic prompts are mentioned as part of the narrative.

Soil born from war redeems French farms as shells aid depth

A scientific agriculturalist argues that German bombardment of French fields, though destructive to villages and crops, may enrich soil depth and subsoil, allowing eventual restoration and even greater productivity. He warns vast aid will still be needed to rebuild ruined farms and support refugees returning to ruined homes and plots.

Congress to vote on war housing stoppage resolution

A Senate vote on Joint Resolution 194 will test Congress business sense by ordering an immediate halt to government war housing projects. Critics charge the measure exposes a lack of true economy or failure to apply private‑enterprise principles to public affairs as work on all buildings would be halted.

Senators weigh stopping work on uncompleted housing projects

The Senate debated halting construction on United States Housing Corporation projects to save money. Proponents argued stopping now would save the remaining funds, but critics warned seventy five percent already invested would be jeopardized and unfinished buildings would suffer rapid depreciation if exposed. Housing officials opposed wholesale stoppage, a stance echoed by business leaders.

Poles Claim Danzig as Sea Port City

A survey of the Danzig seizure by Poland notes its strategic value as Poland’s access to the sea. The article traces Danzig’s shifting control from Teutonic Knights to Poland, Prussia, Napoleon, and back to Prussia, arguing the peace conference will decide the Warsaw claim amid limited recent Poles’ communications. It mirrors broader postwar contention and includes a collage of unrelated items from Wichita’s hotel, Lipton, moonshine, and poems on towns and Armenians.

Adventures in Vladivostok Life in a busy port city

Special Correspondent describes Vladivostok as a non stop carnival of risk and color with thundering army cars and crowded streetcars. He notes multiethnic passengers, harsh ventilation in cafes, slow Russian meals, shifting ruble prices, and quirky local services from washing to coinage. The piece paints a bustling, perilous, cosmopolitan frontier town full of officers, traders, and travelers.

Fragmented humorous digests from a late era editorial page

A collage of quips and observations on everyday life including sly social remarks about homes cluttered with chafing dishes, flu seasons, lane etiquette on Street cars, patriot gardens, marital roles, retirement, and a mockery of public notices. The pieces mix jokes, aphorisms, and brief vignettes featuring nameless locals and scattered references to Texas, El Paso, and wartime sentiment.
