Dr. Karl Barth, Professor

Theology in Bonn University, who as a member of the Confessional Movement refused to give an uncondi-Hlonat oath of allegiance to Herr Hitler, was placed to-day on the retired list by the Nazi Reich Minister of Education.

The Professor explained in an interview subsequently that he had objection to an oath of allegiance to the Reichfihrer, but that he objected to a formula putting his duty to Herr Hitler before God.—Reuter.
