Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing; for God is my defence, and the God of my mercy.—Psalm 59: 16, 17. , " My <u ot V b y James Aswell •’ New York, Aug. 1. (CP) —Artists de scend on this neighborhood and that like locusts, filling the natives of the poorer sections with a mixture of awe and disdain. Now the quays along the East river swarm with sketchers, who apparently, are charmed with the whimsical local color of a submerged dynamic line of a coal barge or the cabbage. At one especially unromantic. pier along the waterfront a class of 30 sets up easels regularly and limns what ever fragments of nature there are around about. The presence of the daubers has caused some consternation among the bumptious East Side Kids in the habit of swimming there. They must wear trunks now and forego the pleasure of a swift disrobing while a lookout warns of approaching cops and gives the signal for the pink and white plunge of the gang. Unfortunately, the class in question doesn’t do nudes. • * * Unhappy End Billy Montgomery, once one of the box-office wows of American vaude ville, died, at the low end of his dizzy parabola the other day In Jersey. Booked at $2,000 weekly with Flor ence Moore, his former wife, he was the comic sensation of his day. But somewhere along the line he turned to the left and kept ‘going—downhill. Those who knew him in his hey day can put a mental finger on no specific act of Billy’s that “threw” him. He simply went to pieces. At the last he lay on a pauper’s slab in the morgue. It seems incredible that of -the hundreds who much have fattened on Billy’s largesse during the apex years, not one was on hand to see him de cently buried. This is one of the things I still find difficulty in under standing about Broadway. It gives you the shivers. * A ik No Enemies Two years ago in Vienna this re porter met the late Engelbert Doll fuss briefly. The government liais son officer who arranged the contact with the half-pint bundle of nerves and good-humored vitality remarked: "There’s one thing really extraor dinary about Dollfuss. Although he has risen to power straight up from peasant ranks, I don’t think he has enemy in the world. ’ Dollfuss may be dropped, but he will never be as sassinated.” » * ♦ * Hollywood Tableau I am told that Harold Lloyd actu ally fortified himself for his latest picture by learning a smattering of Chinese. Two Oriental professors call ed on him each morning before he set forth for the studio and drilled into him the language of the race which did not invent chop suey, the Ameri can dish. Harold’s new picture may be very funny, but I hazard the guess that a new’s reel shot of the comedian tak ing Chinese lessons from a pair of dignified celestials would bring down any house.

Purvis is chief of the Chicago Bureau of Investigation, and is not just a casual person as Stewtart describes him in his criticism (which happens not to he of the constructive type). Dillinger Not All * Besides getting Dillinger, a notori ous criminal who has held the title of Public Enemy No. 1 for quite a while, this now famous Melvin H. Purvis has been the cause of solving the fam ous John Factor case, the Bremmer kidnapping, the “Machine Gun” Kelly case, the Sankey case, the Sinkler case, and numerous other cases. Now 1 ask you. how could a man like Stewart call a man like Purvis ‘a casual person”? Mr. Stewart states that he is ablei to quote army au thorities to the effect that the marks manship that killed Dillinger and scratched a couple of bystanders was inexchsable. If Mr. Stewart’s army authority is such a smart crimint*b gist. why didn’t he get Dillinger. I bet he could if Mr. Stewart would only lend him a hand. Mr. Stewart, why don’t you and this army man get together and kill "Baby Face” Nelson, get him any way you can, and I won’t criticise you at all, cause if I did I would make a fool out of myself. Next time you want to get a little pub licity, Mr. Stewart, see me, and I will try to arrange with the funny paper man so that I can put you in “Things We i.'an Do Without’’. By the way, "Vas you dere Sharlie”? •‘A MELVIN PURVIS FAN”. Henderson, July 31, 1934.

THE WORLD WAR 20 YEARS AGO TODAY August 1, 1914—King George is in his pajamas when Prime Minister Herbert Asquitli and undersecretary of foreign affairs William Tyrrell, ob tain his signature at 1:30 a. m., to a telegram to cousin Nicholas in Peters burg, endeavoring to ward off the war. It is too late. Austria-Hungary is mobilized. Russia is mobilizing. Ger many is mobilizing. That cannot be undone. But there is no need now for France to get into the war. The Kaise promises he will not attack France if Great Britain will pledge French neutrality. His amhnssador in Par’s has made repeated inquiry if France proposes to aid her ally Russia and has been told that France will do “that which might be required of her by her in terest.” Paris does not mean, perhaps, the interest on the millions loaned to Russia. The Kaiser’s offer furnishes Eng land the opportunity to prove her pa cific disposition and to prevent Franco-German warfare. London’s Liberal newspapers are crying, “this war i 1 ? none of our affair.” They do not know, the English people do not know, that their statesmen have com mitted them to fight whenever France is disposed Has to Explain jfff i "■ , . t | Dr. Kurt Reith ! * While N*zi outburst in Austria hai Europe m. pins and needles.

Thomas Jefferson, a committee ap pointed by the continental congress to prepare a device for a state seal; but no one knows who was author of the motto! (It is an ancient turn of phrase, to be found in numerous classical auth ors.) August 1, 1798 —'One-armed Commo dore Horatio Nelson, 40, was seasick as he won for Britain the most im portant naval victory in her history. His fleet was numerically inferior when it confronted in Aboukir Bay the French fleet guarding Napoleon’s communications with Egypt. The wind was blowing along the French line, so he concentrated his attack on the weather end. The leeward ships could not give any assistance; and thus, creeping down the line, he captured destroyed the whole flee tand made Britain supreme in the Mediterranean. As the smoke cleared away, he wrote Sir Wm Hamilton, British am bassador at Naples, whose wife he was to steal: “Almighty God has made me the happy instrument in destroy ing the Enemy’s fleet . . .
