...great man thus thumbnail-sketched was Gustav Stresemann who died of a form of apoplexy (TIME, Oct. 14). Thumbnailer: Viscount D'Abernon, patrician first Ambassador of Great Britain to the German Republic, writing in the January issue of Foreign Affairs, scholarly grey-bound U. S. quarterly. Of Stresemann and himself the Viscount writes: "For six years we were in almost daily intercourse. ... I believe that no two men in similar positions were ever more frank with one another or more free...
Reminding its readers that J. P. Morgan & Co. will launch the long awaited German Reparations Bonds, soon after the Young Plan comes into effect (TIME, June 10, et seq.), Tageblatt intimated that should Dillon, Read beat their "rivals" to the Stock Exchange with an $100,000,000 German loan, subsequent Morgan pickings from Reparations Bonds might verge upon the loan.

...were five of them, addressed to the governing athletic bodies of Germany, France, Italy, England and Finland, asking 14 of the greatest runners in Europe to run in the U. S. this winter. Half-miler Tavernari and long-legged Hurdler Facelli of Italy, Joachim Buchner and Harry Storz, the German quarter-milers, and Sprinter Eldracher were asked. Among Finns, the invitations went to Harry Larva and Toivo Loukola, but not, for some reason, to Paavo Nurmi who, tinkering with an old automobile in his machine-shop in Turku, shrugged his shoulders and looked hard at his work when reporters asked...
