Contrasting with French joy was the raging fury of the German press last week. In Berlin the potent, Democratic Acht Uhr Abendblatt, even thought that Prime Minister Poincaré of France had "influenced'' Agent General Gilbert to write a "made to order report," and rashly charged that this perfidy had been arranged at the Gilbert-Poincaré-Churchill and J. P. Morgan conference in Paris last autumn (TIME, Oct. 29).

Seizing the crook's slender wrist he wrenched away the knife; seizing his coat collar and seat of trousers he hurled him sprawling into a Kurfürsten-Damm gutter, returned to Gretchen. Half an hour later some 30 taxis teeming with tuxedoed crooks drew up outside the Hamburger...
...plants throughout the Middle West and South, in Canada and Cuba, in France and Germany and Sweden, foremen and factory-managers of the International Harvester Co. (McCormick) beamed with paternal smiles, clapped their boys and girls on the back. Alexander Legge, their stern, potent President, permitted them to announce last week a million-dollar-a-year vacation plan adopted by the company for its 40.000 employes. Two weeks of holiday every year will be given workers in all manufacturing departments, as well as office help. And this vacation will be with pay, an unusual arrangement in the industrial world.
