The German 10th Corps under Emmich was hammering at the gates of
Leige twenty years ago today. The antiquated fortresses and the out
numbered army of General Leman, the Belgian defender, could not hold
out long, and Leige became the first of the key towns of the Franco-
Belgian frontier to fall into German hands, and Leman the first notable
to go to a German prison. There he remained three years.

THE WAR 20 YEARS AGO TODAY
Aug. 6, 1914 Austria-Hungary
make her state of war with Russia
official. Strangely, her formal decla
ration tardily follows by more than
five days that the ally which first be
came involved in the war because of
her!
Germany’s mobilization had been
ordered after France’s. Serbia, the
cause of it all, was not invaded until
after Germany, Belgium, Russia, Lux
embourg, France. Appropriate is the
ironic comment of the Russian pre
mier, Count Sergius Sazonov:
“Enough of this chronology!”
Germany’s army still is in process of
mobilization, like the others; but it
is striking mortal blows. On the sth
the 10th Corps under Emmich reach
ed the eastern forts of Leige, demand
ed permission to pass unopposed, and
onposed by Gen. Lehman with two
divivsions of the Belgium field army,
began a furious assault on the town
which is continuing unabated.

and on the 10th, the great forts will

Britain has won one great victory,
the significance of which is not appre
ciated at the time: she has gained
control of transatlantic communica
tions. On the eve of the war decla
ration, British ships had been sent to
locate and raise all cables of the pros
pective enemy. 'They were lying
across decks, with axes raised ever
them, when the ultimatum to Berlin
expired at midnight on the 3rd. Now
the Entente is dependent upon wire
less communication, which can be in
tercepted. scrambled and falsified.
Henceforth, Germany is tongue-tied.
Britain’s able propagandists, who
are recognized in Whitehall as being
as important as big guns, make cer
tain that the United States and the
other neutrals receive shocking ac
counts of Germany’s ruthless treat
ment of Blgium. Even unexaggerated,
the details would be enough to alien
ate sympathy for the German cause
The 'nvaders are seeking to demoral
ize the Belgian army and break the
national resistance by ruthless terro
rism For the first time in so-called
civilized warfare, unarmed civilians
are treated like combatants.
Naturally, the opposite of the desir
ed effect is created by the Germans.
Belgians, driven to desperation fight
more furiously; and more precious
*ours are provided for French and
British preparation to withstand the
blow aimed at Paris. The example of
■Belgiums’ treatment is all France and
Britain need to rouse the sacrl&ial
ardor of their fighting forces.
GREAT DAYS
Aug. 6, 1434 —Traditional date of in
ception of the waltz in Provence,
France. It was too warm for the live
ly gaillard at a summer festival, and
a Provencial suggested steps
that could be danced to a slower beat.
Tunes were improvised from old dance
numbers to fit them.
' No talented composer devoted at
tention to the genre for four centuries,
until Johann Strauss, junior and sen
ior, made the waltz really popular.
: Johann, Jr., (not Richard, with whom
,he is confused sometimes) wrote the
Beautiful Blue Danube Once the
great Brahms inscribed the opening
, measures of this waltz upon Mme.
Strauss’ fan and added, “Alas, not by
Brahms!”

CHAPTER 48
US TWO weeks Joan would marry
Drew Hallam. It tt had not been for
Aanelie and Scripps. Giles would have
returned at once to his island. Among
his books he felt he might find sur
cease from the agony which tore him.
Deer in his heart he was aware that
Joan would never be happy. There
was that within hei which Drew
could never satisfy. She was heading
straight for disaster.
There were things, too, he had to
think about, which made him un
certain as to the course he should
pursue. Many ot the men he had
met In Paris knew Drew Hallam and
from them he had heard the gossip
Which linked the name of Joan’s fu
ture husband with a past which was
Indiscreet, if not stained with dis
honor. If Joan had had a brother
•r a father. Giles would have laid the
whole story before them. Yet to go
to Joan herself? How could he do it?
She would not believe him. and he
would seem only a despairing lover
trying to force an issue for his own
sake.
As he sat by the quiet pool, in the
purple dusk, he wondered why he
should care what he seemed to
others. The thing was to save the
woman he loved. He had thought
•f an appeal to Hallam. Os a chal
lenge to Drew’s own sense of the
euormity of linking his smirched life
with the life of a girl like Joan.
Whatever he did. must be done at
once. He rose and stood with his
face uplifted to the sky. Above him
was a serene world —yet his heart
was torn.
And now Amelia and Scripps came
from the blossoming arbor, hand In
band. As they approached. Amelie
was singing a little French song she
had often chanted long ago for
Scripps—her vcice was like a bird’s,
sweet and clear in the silent night.
When they reached him Scripps
spoke: “Amelie wants to come back
here . . .’*
“You mean . . .?” Giles looked
from one to the other.
“Yes.” Scripps said, and his voice
was deep with emotion, “she wants
to come with me. Giles, alone . . .”
Sitting by the pool the three of
them made their plans. They would
return to Paris, and as soon as pos
sible Scripps and Amelie would set
tle down for a time in this lovely
Spot. Amelie was radiant. The dark
clouds had lifted. She was like her
self. Simple, sweet. Giles felt, how
ever. that they mua, not go too fast,
there must be no mistake before
upon this new life
which was to be an ecstatic echo of
the old.
As they drove home Giles knew
that freedom had come to him at
last. Amelie arid Scripps would soon
not need him. Yet he knew too. that
his release had arrived too late. He
would be alone with neither friend
ship nor love to fill his life. The
days intervening between Joan’s
marriage would soon pass. She
would be Drew’s wife. Lost to him
forever.
That night, as he sat late in the
grill room of his hotel, he was ap
proached by an English officer whom
he had known intimately during the
poem, In Memoriam, was published
anonyymously. It bespoke his many
years’ grief ovef the loss of his friend
Alfred Hallam. Except:
Death has made
His darkness beautiful with thee.

ASTRO-PROGIOSTICATION
Zodiac sign: Leo. Women whose
birthdate it is are advised by astro
logers that wedded happiness lies in
marriage with men born in Aries
(Mar. 22-Apr. 20.) For men born this
day Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 23) or
Aries women are deemed ideal. Those
born this date are accounted of prying
nature, an asset because it sends them
delving into new methods and deve
lopments and causes them to make dis
coveries to their advantage. They dis
like routine, and take new positions or
move to new scenes at every oppor
tunity.
$6Z876.24
Paid Here
On Tobacco
Rental and benefit payments made
by the Federal government to tobacco
growers in Vance county since the
sign-up campaigns began amount to
467,876.24, according to official an
nouncement by the Agricultural Ad
justment Administration in Washing
ton today. North Carolina received
$5,014,608 out of a total of $11,092,424
of total rental and benefit payments
paid to all tobacco growers in the
United States under the 1934 tobacco
curtailment program up to July 1, the
announcement showed.
North Carolina will share even more
heavily in the payments to be made
from now on, because the payments
announced today included the bonus
paid on the 1933 crop, which was shar
ed in only by those growers who sold
their crop before the rise in prices dur
ing the 1933 season.
Growers in the old belt and middle
belt in "North Carolina did not benefit
at all from these payments, which
ranged from 10 to 20 per cent of the
market price. Growers in Eastern
North Carolina benefitted only slight
ly, the bulk of these particular pay
ments going to growers in Georgia
and South Carolina. Thereby, the
North Carolina border counties shared
very heavily, the payments received by
Columbus and Robeson counties be
ing the largest in any county in the
State, although Pitt and some other

times, of Am£lie and Scripps, and

. his sense of restlessness and inde
cision. “1 am not sure what I want
. to do with my life.”
“Why not travel?”
Giles tapped the table thougbt
, fully. "It was what 1 wanted—but
now that the opportunity is mine, I
find myself eager to go back to my
island—to bury myself.”
His friend demanded. “What has
1 happened ?”
I Giles tried to laugh it off, “Perhaps
! 1 am growing old.”
“Perhaps—you are in love."
“What makes you think that?”
' “Oh, a man like you should be
ready for adventure, for life, for ex
' perience.”
Giles flung up his head. “I am in
love. With a woman who marries
another man next week and he is not
| worthy of her.”
‘How do vou know?”
“You remember him—Drew Hal
lam.”
The Englishman gave a short ex
clamation. “Reinember! He is a cad
and a coward.”
Giles' tone was eager, “You’re sure
or that?”
“Sure of it," the Englishman set
tled himself in his chair, "listen to
this.”
The story that he told was not a
pleasant one. “There was Rose Car
ter. He would have married her in
a minute if she had had money. He
is always hard up. If you care any
thing for the girl that he is going to
marry why dpn’t you lay the case
before her ?" *
“But how can l, loving her, do
that ?”
“It is because you love her that
you should do it.”
‘‘l’d rather go to Hallam himself."
“Well, why not? Tell him what
you know in the old days you could
have had the thing out with pistols.
As it is you may knock each other
down, but what’s the difference?”
They said little after that, and the
next morning Giles left for Barce
lona. He took the same route that
Joan had followed, coming at night
to the dusky inn where Rose and
Joan had met. He was aware of the
charm of it all and of the atmos
phere which seemed t.o belong to
medieval days. He was aware too
of that sense of romantic adventure
which had impressed Joa n. He
wondered if by any chance he might
some day travel this road with the
woman he loved. If she did not
marry Drew? Might there not come
a time , . .?
As he sat at breakfast he saw
opposite him a sailor In a vivid blue
shirt, scarlet sash and scarlet hand
kerchief about his bead. He was
showing to a companion, as pictur
esque as himself, the model of a lit
tle painted ship. It was a tiny, per
fect thing, carved from wood, bril
liantly colored and gilded, with its
pennants and flags perfect* Giles’
eyes rested on it eagerly. He leaned
forward and asked In his imperfect
Spanish. “Will you sell?"
The sailor nodded and named a
price, and presently Giles found him
self in possession ot the tiny bark

i r© give it to Joan, its spreading sails
I held the promise of some voyage of
, happy adventure. If only she did
■ not marry Drew!
t When he came that night to
Barcelona, he went to the hotel and
asked for Drew. He was told that
Lhe Hal lams and Miss Dudley were
spending, the week-end in the moun
tains, a halt a day’s journey by mo
' tor. They had gone away, the clerk
informed him, that Miss Dudley
i might rest.
Giles asked. “May I have the ad
i dress? Lam an old friend."
The oierk gave it. and an hour
later Giles was on his way. He
would see Drew Hallam and have
the thing out. And failing Drew,
Joan.
The retreat to which Joan and the
Hailams had gone was an old mon
astery. which offered hospitality to
those who sought rest and quiet. >
Joan would have loved it if she could
have been there alone with Drew.
“It is a perfect place for a honey
moon." she said, “but why should
Rose and her mother have followed
us?” Her voice had a note of sharp
ness. her nerves were on edge. It
had seemed incredible to her that
Rose and Mrs. Carter should intrude
at such a time. “What made her
think she could come. Drew?*’ she
insisted.
He evaded her question, “Oh well,
you know Rose . . ,”
“But—surely you didn’t invite
her ?”
“No—but she adores this place—
and asked if I cared if she joined us.
What could T say?”
“Will she be following us tike this
after we are married?”
He laughed and put a finger ander
her chin, iifttng her face so that he
could look Into her eyes, "Jealous?”
A deep flush stained her cheeks,
*You know I’m not. But the thing
is so utterly absurd. Rose ought to
know she is not wanted."
“Oh well, in a week you and I will
leave her behind forever." Fie laid
his cheek against here, “My
sweet . . "
Joan wandered that afternoon into
the garden of the monastery and sat
on the rim of an old fountain and
watched the doves flying down to the
water. One or the brown-clad broth
ers came out to feed the doves.
Joan said to him. “I love this
peace. The world seems so far
away.*
The brother said quietly, “Yet
there is peace in the world, daugh
ter, if we have It in our hearts.”
“T know."
There were no further words be
tweefa them, and krheti he had fed
the birds the brother went away, but
Joan thought of what he had said:
* There is peace in the world if we
have it in our hearts.”
She knew there was no peace in
her world. When she was with
Drew She wak cohsCioUs of a sort of
tumultuous happiness—he was a
marvelous lover and knew how to
filay off the strings 6f her emotions.
Yet always at the back of her mind
was a disturbed sense that some day
the glamor tfoMd disappear and she
Would face Drew’s faults and be .
afraWl of them.
