While lightning struck the Prussian Diet, man-made thunder roared and echoed in the German Reichstag across the way. Most of the thunder came from bulky, rumbling Dr. Gustav Stresemann, Germany's quick-brained, bullet-headed Foreign Minister. Almost completely recovered from a long illness (TIME, July 9, 1928 et seq.), he had returned from pruning his prize roses to defend in his own fashion the Young Plan settlement of German Reparations. The Nationalists were, charging that the Plan will make Germany a "colony" of England and France...
...Doorn to re-enter Germany. The means by which Wilhelm's exile has been maintained is the famed "Kaiser Clause" in the Law for the Defense of the Republic, which expires July 21, making residence in Germany of the onetime ruler dependent on the will of the Reichstag.

With great difficulty the deadlock between employer and employed was temporarily settled, last week, when workmen agreed to resume work on the old wage scale pending a decision by Minister of the Interior Doctor Severing as to whether or not their wages should be rightfully increased. C. Pan-Germans were mightily cheered, last...
