...dedicate a Danzig monument to German sailors lost in the World War. The delegation, including the Reich's Rear Admiral Fleischer and a company of marines with a brass band, arrived in Danzig last Sunday.

The Poles ignored the move, and sly Danzig Nazis reasoned that if they could get away with one "foreign" naval detachment in the Free City, they might get away with more...

When, in 1924, Buck Duke made little Trinity the tenth richest university in the land (endowment today: $30,000,000), it was glad not only to take his name but also...
