The article notes a return to wearing lockets driven by wartime, describing older grandmothers’ styles and the shift to modern, affordable lockets. It highlights lockets holding two to four portraits, enabling wear as a service flag, and positions the locket as a discreet yet attractive keepsake for soldiers’ photos and summery outfits.
The article analyzes Baron Von Burian's note to Austro Hungarian premiers on Wilson's principles, arguing it reveals Teuton insincerity. It contends the core obstacle to peace is territorial demands, with Germany preferring to retain conquests to sustain militarism and influence. It notes the note misrepresents both sides and exposes motive behind warmongering.
In this analysis the speaker argues that Germany would accept any principle if allowed to wield power. Belgium’s inviolate status is cited, while Austrian demand for territory is dismissed as a pretense. The piece frames Wilsonian principles as material realities, accusing Germany of using sophistry to dodge the core issues that caused the war.

The piece warns against basing opinion on legal technicalities and urges careful stock of legal factors.
The piece argues Americans spent about 45 million dollars in May on theaters cinemas and related amusements under a 10 percent admissions tax. It contends this supports morale and mental poise during war, praising moving pictures as valuable while criticizing cafes and cabarets as poor imitations of Europe. It urges heavy taxation on dubious amusements and government support for wholesome ones while hoping for frost to hasten war outcomes.
The article weighs whether a Speaker can convene the legislature and if a governor’s call overrides a speaker’s, in the Ferguson impeachment context. It argues legality hinges on constitutional precedent, cites possible impeachment paths, and notes a July 27 election deciding party power.
