      With great regret we have received the news that Miss Maria Willebrand of Warendorf and Mr. ing. Paul Tarnow of Düsseldorf-Oberkassel have died as a result of war action. Mr. Tarnow was an industrious collector of all things in the field of world languages. His library, which was probably the largest in Germany, has, however, been almost completely destroyed.
