...classifying Paris disorderly houses for use by officers of different ranks-apparently all before the Army crossed the Dutch frontier. One German thing which they enjoyed was massed band concerts-given on the Opera steps, in the Tuileries Gardens, in the Place de la Concorde-under the direction of Herr Professor Doktor Schmidt...

Few weeks ago John Herr lost two of his crack outfits when the First and Thirteenth, long since mechanized, were transferred from the Cavalry to the new Armored Corps (TIME, July 8).

Contemplating a U. S. left, if Britain is beaten, to face a new Nazi economy of "blood over gold," he observed: "Such an upheaval . . . would put America's entire foreign trade . . . under the control of Germany and her allies. . . . America would find the competition of a consolidated Europe, behind whose salesmen stood the military might of Germany...
