...biggest cinema trust in Europe is Universum Film Aktiengesellschaft, known as UFA. The biggest independent telegraph agency on the continent is Telegrapher Union Internationale, or T. U. Both Ufa and T. U. belong to potent, slightly sinister Dr. Alfred Hugenberg, bristle-haired Junker. These and his famed Berlin newspapers (Der Tag, Berliner Lokal-Anzeiger) have given Dr. Hugenberg one of the most efficient machines for moulding public opinion in the world. He needed it last week, for he was attempting to force through by popular referendum a law denying Germany's War guilt, forbidding German acceptance of the Young...
...Hindenburg's thanks to Foreign Minister Stresemann on his return from The Hague Parley (TIME, Aug. 19) as his personal endorsement of the Young Plan. Irate and august, President von Hindenburg reasserted his neutrality: "I declare herewith that I have given nobody authorization or cause to make known my personal opinion on this problem."

Spalding, trained, as he says, by his father not to waste the time of important people, presented Mr. Eliot with a carefully wrought plan for improvement in the Department of Music. 'Mr. Spalding,' said the President, 'your argument is cogent and conclusive. Good morning...
Harvard has a back of her own who comes in for more than his share of christening. T. W. Gilligan '31, as he is known in the chaste columns of the CRIMSON, has been called "Gone Again", "Off-Again-On-Again", and "Giddy-Ap" Gilligan. Wallace Harper, who will be missed from the Harvard lineup today, has been dubbed the "Ioway Dutchman", for reasons unknown. In general the nicknames are amazingly apt. "Gentleman Gene" and "Tiger Jack" just about describe those two ex-heavyweight champs. The local pugilistic comedian, one Mr. Stone, has been happily termed "Rocky" (Crushed) Stone...
