Today -100: July 26, 1925: Of ethnic cleansings, geniuses in the air, and... there are odors in New York?

Poland will force out the 15,000 ethnic Germans who voted for German citizenship in the plebiscite in Upper Silesia in 1921 (no secret ballot, I guess), with 20,000 more to come. Germany retaliates against Poles living in Germany who voted for Poland (10,000). Warsaw bans German-language plays. (Update: it’s not actually based on voting in the plebiscite; it’s Germans who retained their German nationality after the plebiscite).

Albert Einstein takes his first plane ride. 

Headline of the Day -100:

Rude.
