...sister ships, the longest in the world (938 feet), were launched, last week, from German yards, and will go into service late next spring for the North German Lloyd. The sisters are Europa and Bremen. Though slim and expected to challenge the trans-Atlantic speed record held by the Cunarder Mauretania, the Teuton sisters will be no lightweights (46,500 tons each). Thus they will be but little lighter than the two heaviest liners in the world: Leviathan and Majestic, which were originally Hamburg-American sister ships, but were snatched from Germany by the Allies...
Captain Herman Koehl, Baron Ehrenfried Gunther von Huenefeld, Major James Fitzmaurice, last week were honored by onetime royalty, snubbed by royalty's onetime subjects. Fresh from receptions in Bremen and Dublin, they flew to Doom, Holland, where Wilhelm II stood on the castle roof to wave them farewell with his one sound arm; thence to Cologne, Germany, where the city fathers, Kaiser-hating, failed to appoint a committee of welcome...
...train stopped, and the Boy Scouts rushed forward to greet the man who stepped with sure tread from the car. Cameras clicked jerkily; the young shouted their welcome; reporters, notebook in hand, mused on childish love of deifying.

Whatever Germany's time in doffing her cuirass and carrying a dove on her wrist, she has succeeded beyond cavil in regaining a position of honor and trust among the nations. She has honestly endeavored to sustain a balance of concord in the world...
Batteries of cameras had ceased clicking and the last flashlight had done its part in filling the room with clouds of smoke. The three Bremen flyers, Baron von Huenefeld, Captain Koehl, and Major Fitzmaurice, fought their way through cheering Bostonians and tangled folds of the banners of massed American legionaries from the Colonial Room of the Ritz-Carlton Hotel yesterday afternoon following the Hub's reception to the trio. The sole means of escape was by way of the hotel's rear kitchen elevator, where the besieged flyers, thinking themselves free from further annoyances, found a CRIMSON reporter...
