The article presents some military and political updates. It says that no American general has done better work in France than major general William M. Wright who returned recently. It was he who commanded the Third and Sixth Corps in France and it is related of him that he forced a river crossing which several American divisions had failed to take, despite a gallantry entailing heavy losses. The article also discusses about a labor union in an American university. A group of professors in the State-owned and controlled University of Illinois has formed a professors' local, headed by a professor of history, has joined the American Federation of Labor.
