Last week the reformed Young German Order appeared to be the backbone of the Staatspartei. Also in the fold was the old Democratic Party, which has been losing deputies at every election since 1919 until its formal dissolution last week.

Observers saw in this an attempt to bring into the Staatspartei the Protestant workers of Germany as the German Centrist party absorbed German Catholic workmen...

The silk-hatted, saturnine Majordomo of Castle Skokloster took the oars. While Sweden's King watched from the shore, Bishop, Baron and Majordomo rowed to the middle of the lake and plop went...
Wilhelm Hohenzollern II, his wife the Princess Hermine, his son, Friedrich Wilhelm, and a party of ten, motoring between The Hague and Haarlem, Holland, discovered in a ditch, badly smashed, the car in which their servants had preceded them. The servants were unhurt. Later in the day on Kager Lake a speed launch carrying the younger members of the party, blew up, badly burned and bruised two, nearly capsized the yacht Olympia on which the senior Hohenzollerns were cruising...
