...preposterous to the Sun King than any question of whether the Saar is German or French. Having said "L'etat c'est moi," His Majesty would certainly have troubled no more about Saar nationality than to say "The Saar is mine!" Last week a lumpy lot of Teuton farmers and workmen from various parts of the U. S. enjoyed free passage on German ships as they were rushed Saarward to vote in the plebiscite...
Bland amid Teuton bedlam was petite Miss Margot Vagi. She let other people explain that, although Japanese, she was a child of six living in the Saar in 1919 when the Treaty of Versailles took the Saar provisionally from Germany, handed it over to the League of Nations as trustee until 1935.

His shocked wife Anna, who apparently knew nothing of her husband's finances, got him a lawyer, but Hauptmann refused to see him. Then she got him another...

Her claim upon German Ambassador Leopold von Hoesch is that she is not only "Miss Germany" but also the grandniece of that gloomy Teuton, Philosopher Immanuel Kant. Would not the German Ambassador consent to be one of the judges...
