Bruno Paul, famed German modernist architect, onetime Director of the Imperial Academy of Arts, reached the U. S. on the German liner Columbus, last week, and told that he has just been commissioned to erect "Berlin's first skyscraper" (12 stories...
...automobiles. It is not true, as has been widely stated, that Their Majesties in purchasing clothes and personal effects, carried the goods away on credit and have not yet paid.
