I want to say how glad I was when I heard from THE GREAT
ROUND WORLD that General Gomez had won a victory. I wish
that that brutal General Weyler had been killed instead of
General Maceo. Wasn't it extraordinary that all the trees in
India were covered with that queer stuff? I wonder how it got
there? Have any of the Hindustanees risen yet?
I am also very interested in the war Greece is having with
Turkey. I wish the powers would not interfere with Greece and
Turkey, but let them fight it out.
Your picture of a statue of King Arthur has a shield. We have a
photograph of a statue in a tomb at Innsbruck, but it has no
shield. Did Fischer make two statues?
I wish THE GREAT ROUND WORLD were published twice a
week.
Yours very truly,
WILLIAM THORN K.
