January 17, 1920 issue

add to cart   close window

The article presents information related to several socio-political developments. Two recent incidents of the sea have given great comfort and renewed faith in the return of humanity with peace. One of the first German ships to cross the ocean since the armistice, the bark Paul, met with terrific seas and gales and was pounded almost to pieces. Babe Ruth, a great baseball player has been influenced by the name of Drifter; or more probably the effect that his great playing had in the getting and retention of such a name.
