...laconic sentence the German Ambassador to Japan, Major General Eugen Ott, last week set a temporary limit to German war aims and gave Japanese jingoes an encouraging pinch in the backside. The German Government, General Ott told Foreign Minister Hachiro Arita, "is not interested in the problem of The Netherlands Indies...
These figures New York Timesman Eugen Kovacs gleaned at a station on the Rumanian-Soviet frontier. Cars loaded with maize, oil cakes, apples, eggs, butter, meat and lumber for Germany are systematically broken open and plundered while crossing Soviet territory.

But last week, at Kiel, Mme Horthy was called upon to break a bottle of German champagne over the nose of the newest 10,000-ton German cruiser. "I christen thee the Prince Eugen!" she cried. Emotional Hungarians were deeply moved, for historic Prince Eugen was no German. More than two centuries ago under the Habsburg banner of the Austro-Hungarian dynasty he delivered the Danube valley from the Turks...
