...Ullstein which took it over in 1914, 229 years older than Nazidom, as dignified as the London or the New York Times but far more venerable, the Vossiche Zeitung was "Auntie Voss" to Berliners. It had reported the battles of Frederick the Great and Napoleon, the rise of Bismarck and the rise of Hitler. Toward Handsome Adolf its attitude was one of disgusted scorn, until he came into power and threw the Nazi blanket over "Auntie Voss' " head. That blanket has suffocated 600 German newspapers. In Hamburg alone four papers gave up last week. And in Berlin "Auntie Voss...
...Bismarck's Second Reich did not interfere with the frontiers of the various States. This was one great error of the Second Reich.

With the help of a "brass brain" (a periodometer or mechanical calculator) which he invented to co-ordinate chaotic masses of data, he delved into the temperature and precipitation records of Bismarck, N. Dak., far back into the last century. In them he looked for cycles of 22 years, because that length of time represents two eleven-year sunspot cycles, or one complete magnetic cycle. He found something like the weather cycle he was seeking, but quickly saw that...
...talk. Europe's entire Press (particularly the Swiss) broke out in a rash of headlines suggesting that the Disarmament Conference, scheduled to reconvene in Geneva on Oct. 16, will face in acute form the alternatives of Disarmament or War. Slightly appalled by the effect of the dynamite Prince Bismarck had so dutifully exploded, the German Foreign Office appealed to Ambassador-at-Large Davis to "mediate" in Geneva between their delegation and the French...
