...Kaiser. It has also sounded good to Herr Hitler, whose world-swallowing ideas are formulated by retired Major General Professor Karl Haushofer, a contemporary and fellow ideologist of Herr Doktors Rohrbach and Naumann. In Syria today is a direct human link between the Drang dreams of Hitler and Hohenzollern. He is Baron Max von Oppenheim, 81, who has been snooping around the Near East since 1893.

King Defies. Bulgaria, vital pawn in the giants' chess game, entered an uneasy new year. King Boris III, who prefers his English cousins any day to his Hohenzollern relatives, had told Adolf Hitler at Berlin that, rather than see German troops in his peasant kingdom, he would abdicate. Last Week he retired 27 high Army officers who had demanded that Bulgaria join the Axis and, in a stormy session of the Sobranje, Premier Bogdan Filoff silenced pro-Nazi deputies with a defiant "No foreign regimes for Bulgaria." With the arrival of the first Nazi units at the frontier, Bulgarian...
