...German-American Mixed Claims Commission decided the Black Tom and Kingsland cases in Germany's favor. Recently the U. S. Government produced fresh evidence, attempted to reopen the case, proffered a copy of a Blue Book Magazine on the margins of which an Imperial German secret agent was supposed to have written incriminating statements in lemon juice. (Lemon juice writing is invisible until heated, then turns brown...
Publishers used to wonder how the St. Louis Times, least able of the city's four dailies, was kept alive. Founded 1907 by the German-American Press Association for St. Louis residents of German descent, the Times has been regarded as a consistent money-loser for a decade. Its latest circulation report was only 55,000. Last week the Times was bought by the noisy, up-&-coming Star (circ. 140,000), presumably for its nuisance value. The Star is published by Elzey Roberts, archfoe of Radio, whose father bought it in 1913. Few months ago Publisher Roberts boasted that...
Even more than to see Spitz perform his high jump, spectators at the National Championships last week wanted to see a mile race in which the overwhelming favorite was a German-American youth who, at the advanced age of 23, is a senior at Pottstown, Pa., High School.

His time-4 min. 12 sec.-equalled the indoor world's record set ten days earlier by Paavo Nurmi. Lasi week Gene Venizke, a 23-year-old German-American of Boyerstown, Pa., who was unknown two years ago and no better than a steady pacesetter last year, beat a crack field in a mile race for the Wanamaker Memorial Trophy. His time, 4 min. 11, sec., became the new world's record...
...world-the North German Lloyd's Bremen and Europa* Strapping big Heinrich Schuengel, who is for N. G. L. what humorous little Sir Thomas Ashley Sparks is for Cunard- resident U. S. director-had a chance to air his grievance before Counsel Samuel Seabury's legislative committee on municipal scandals. Smaller Lloyd liners use Pier No. 42, North River. For nine years, said Director Schuengel, the line tried to get larger accommodations in Manhattan for its big new ship. An early offerer of his good offices was Mayor Walker's German-American friend, David Maier, who used...
