Bursting with excitement, Herr Doktor Oberbürgermeister ("Lord Mayor") Günter Riesen of Cologne buttoned himself into his sausage-tight Nazi Storm Troop uniform and took his stance, shortly after noon, facing the Square. To Rhinelanders in whose bones is bred Die Wacht am Rhein with its ringing, tingling question: "The Rhine, the Rhine, the German Rhine! Who guards tonight our Stream Divine?" This was the most blissful moment in 17 years. Adam's apples gulped as on three bicycles the very first real GERMAN SOLDIERS, trim lads in grim steel helmets, swerved into the Square...
...Margate, England earlier in the week a wartime flying ace for Kaiser Wilhelm, dapper Doktor Hermann Gortz who now calls himself a novelist, was arraigned on charges of prying into Britain's air defense secrets.

His troubles arise chiefly because journalists whom he trustfully presents to his friend Adolf so often write unflattering articles. In his way perhaps the wittiest...

What made each & every mayor anxious was the fact that his municipality was still dangerously long on joblessness requiring relief and uncomfortably short on cash to meet that requirement. What each & every mayor was in Washington for was to get money, more money and still more money out of the Federal Treasury for local relief. Hardly had bald, hawknosed T.
