...Friedrich W. von Prittwitz und Gaffron, the German Ambassador, sought relief from Washington's heat at Hot Springs, Va., making occasional trips back to the capital only when necessary. He hopes to visit the Fatherland later in the summer. H. H. Prince Albert de Ligne, Belgium's Ambassador, has removed himself and his diplomatic entourage to Gibson Island, Md., in Chesapeake Bay. Katsuji Debushi, the Japanese, has gone to Buena Vista, Va., for cooling elevation. The Mexican Ambassador, Senor Don Manuel C. Tellez, went to his own country, where it is really...
Luther (Cob-Film). The German producers who made this compressed biography of Protestant Martin Luther had to be careful. They could not make him out an inspired and righteous prophet or Roman Catholics might stay away. They could not, on the other hand, suggest as some theologians have, that Luther was an oversensitive but not overintelligent monk, stimulated by the dirty church politics of his time into a rebellion which became increasingly fanatic as it became increasingly personal. Their real job was to consider that Luther had no reputation one way or the other. If they had shown...
While lightning struck the Prussian Diet, man-made thunder roared and echoed in the German Reichstag across the way. Most of the thunder came from bulky, rumbling Dr. Gustav Stresemann, Germany's quick-brained, bullet-headed Foreign Minister.

...which Wilhelm's exile has been maintained is the famed "Kaiser Clause" in the Law for the Defense of the Republic, which expires July 21, making residence in Germany of the onetime ruler dependent on the will of the Reichstag. Since the bill involves a change in the German Constitution, a two-thirds majority is always necessary to renew it. Bickering between Communists and Nationalists last week brought a final vote of 268 in favor of the law to 166 against, enought to defeat it. The Reichstag is almost sure to pass the law when it reassembles a fortnight...
...Beauty and Art would bring Oriental and Occidental cultures together and keep the earth forever at peace. The War and Russian turbulences balked him. So he went to the U. S. to find money, without which not even religion can spread. His reputation, which neither the U. S., British, German or French Who's Who yet record, went ahead of him to a few artists and mystics. They formed a circle which widened. Money came to Nicholas Roerich and his hopes. His acolytes created for him Corona Mundi (Crown of the World) International Art Centre, and gathered together...
