...town fluttered the gold-&-white flag of the Papacy. Pilgrims poured in, ostensibly to visit the tomb of St. Boniface who as "Apostle to the Germans" in the 8th Century, fought against the same kind of Teutonic paganism that many a Nazi seeks to revive today. So the Nazi Konigsberg Journal recalled that Boniface placed the German Church "under Rome, and thereby laid the foundations for the later struggles of Popes and Kaisers...
Reichsbischof Müller, no friend of Jews, declared in an interview at Konigsberg last week that "Christianity was not born of Jewry but out of a fight against it." On the other hand he was not ready to paganize Protestantism, seemed to wish to straddle that issue. "We cannot be a conglomeration of Christians and Nordic pagans," he declared. "We must learn to view Christ in the German fashion," This fashion the Reichsbischof did not define. It vibrated last week between non-Nazi and Nazi overemphasis respectively on the passive concept of Gentle Jesus and the active concept...
From a hillside near Konigsberg, East Prussia one morning last week a group of university students launched into the air a small sailplane named Loerzer of Grunau. In the cockpit sat a brown-shirted youth named Kurt Schmidt, 27, a philology student at Konigsberg and a Nazi Storm Trooper.

He sailed south along a ridge 40 mi. or so, swinging back & forth to catch...
...groups of meteorites recently studied appears to be below 3000 million years, which suggests a low age also for the stellar universe. Professor Paneth of Konigsberg has determined the age of a number of meteorites from their relative content of helium and radium; for 24 different iron meteorites he found values ranging from 100 to 2900 million years; for the Pultusk stone meteorites, the fall of which in 1868 has been well observed, he gives a preliminary value of 500 million years, which is probably a minimum value because of possible loss of helium in space and in our museums...
...Speiser made a speech. He wanted to remind his dear friends, his honored guests, of those dear days when Tanga was one of the chief jewels in the Kaiser's crown. He wanted to remind them too that it was from German East Africa that the commerce raider Konigsberg, almost as spectacular as the Emden, started in 1914, and that it was not far from Tanga harbor that she was finally sunk with colors flying...
