...Chairman Young did thus actually obtain the agreement of Dr. Schacht to the minimum figure of $8,800,000,000, he performed a major feat. So sanguine seemed the delegates of results to follow that they determined to meet hereafter on Sundays as well as week days in an effort to fix as soon as possible how much more than minimum the Fatherland must pay. This surplus above the Allied needs for repayment to the U. S. is supposed to partially cover the cost of repairing War damage done by German forces by land, sea, and air. Reputedly, the Young...
Pallbearers for Ambassador Herrick were six, including besides the three Orateurs Funèbres, Owen D. Young, Chairman of the Second Dawes Committee (see International); Aristide Briand, the cello-voiced, bushy-eyebrowed Foreign Minister of France; and Mr. John Ridgely Carter, Paris Morgan Partner, representing J. Pierpont Morgan. Although suffering from a heavy cold, Mr. Morgan at the last moment disregarded the advice of physicians and sped by motor to attend the simple service held for Mr. Herrick at the Paris Pro-Cathedral. That edifice is capable of holding less than 1,000, and an appalling crush ensued...
...Young Germany sees the U. S. singing. Composer Ernst Krenek chose a U. S. Negro jazzer for his Jonny Spielt Auf.

In 1926 his Royal Palace was a sensation at the Berlin Opera. The Protagonist and The Czar Allows Himself to Be Photographed are recent one-act operas based on books by Georg Kaiser. Brecht, called "the German Kipling," is best known for his Die Hauspostille, a book of realistic ballads. The Lindbergh Flight will be broadcast when performed. Friends of the flyer say he will certainly...
...build a new hotel in London, England. This corporation has also let contracts for an Atlantic liner, Empress of Britain, and a Pacific liner, Empress of Japan, the two ships to cost nearly $20,000,000. It owns some 140,000 miles of telegraph wire, distributes millions of young trees (gratis) to Canadian farmers, has settled more than 55,000 immigrants on more than 30,000,000 Canadian acres, and operates a traveling school that brings education into sections of Ontario in which little red schoolhouses have not as yet been established. Yet this corporation is not primarily...
