The Paris-Strasbourg express train crashes into a freight train because someone forgot about the change back from Daylight Saving Time and someone in the other rail line didn’t.
What’s an international peace conference without a good ol’ assassination rumor? Today’s is about German nationalists intending to kill Foreign Minister Gustav Stresemann for his plan to sign a security compact within the framework of the hated Versailles Treaty. The German government would really like to revisit the whole “war guilt” thing, but France and Britain are nixing that.
Stresemann complains that Soviet policies, including using Berlin as a center for disseminating propaganda, are “bordering on diplomatic tactlessness.”
And the Romanian police thwart yet another possibly imaginary assassination plot against King Ferdinand and Queen Marie to serve as a trigger for a possibly imaginary revolution plot.
