New York, Sept. 18.—Randomusing:
I wonder how the night club on the
65th floor of a Rockfeller Center sky
scraper will make out. ... It is one
of a flock of new after midnight
places opening this fall and it will
have, besides the view ,a revolving
crcular dance floor and an orchestra
seated before a curved mriror. ...
■ The whole night chib business, in
his opinion, is in for some revision,
i i‘. ■ . Not long ago I said that the
Simple places—even the boits with
sawdust on the floor— due for a
boom, after a long rising curve of
magnificence. In the past as soon as
one of the informal joints prospered
—-which is to say, as soon as it be
came “smart’’ and was “taken up’’
by the richest and dullest people in
town —nothing would content the
owner except a bar done in carved
hardwood, a mirror floor on a col
lapsible shutter and monogrammed
champagne beakers embossed in ogld.
There have been roof gardens and
roof clubs, but I do not know of any
65 stories high that are conventional
night clubs. , . . Mr. Jolly Coburn,
who will wave a stick at the music
makers there, is an engaging young
man who went to the Naval Academy
and led at Columbia one of the first
collegiate orchestras to make a big
name for itself, . . . That was wya
back yonder in the middle twenties.

like to dine there .a few times a year

The Allied recovery on the western front was more than matched by
Russian success in the east, 20 years ago today. Thousands of desertions
from Austria’s polyglot army followed the Russian proclamation offer

Polish dismemberment for the coup.

THE WORLD WAR DAY-BY-DAY
Sept. 18th. 1914—1 t was the anni
versary of the partition by Russia,
Prussia and Austria. Two women
and a man, Catherine 11, Frederick
II and Maria Theresa had accomplish
ed it without difficulty. But none of
the powers had reason to celebrate
the occasion. Now they are engaged
in a bloody struggle upon its terri
tories.
Austria was faring worst. Her arm
ies had been driven out of Russia
Polad in ignominous defeat. They
had not been annihilated because an
army of nearly a million men cannot
be destroyed in so short a time.
Russia was faring best. Her arm
ies were in possession of Lemberg
and were being joyously received. The
quality of her eneralship had been
underestimated completely by contem
ptuous Germans and Austrians. Ter
leaders were proving again that a
general learns to command by com
manding.
It had been 44 years since Germany’s
officers had been upon a battlefield,
and only nine since the Czar’s com
manders had learned bitter lessons
from the Japanese in Manchuria. One
.Russian general had just come out of
the Balkan Wars a hero, and his suc
cesses stemed from his greater ex
perience.
This was Radko Dmitrieff. Born
in Bulgaria, he studied in two mili
tary academies, commanded a regi
ment in the Serbo Bulgarian War.
and rose in the army until he became
reigning prince and had to leave the
involved in a conspiracy against the
country. Russia’s army welcomed
him. and he se*\’t'd it 10 years.

Young Napoleon Bonaparte’s applica

Russian army was court-martialed

for his lack of foresight, no likely
looking foreign officer ever was re
fused a Rusian commission.
Upon the accession of a new prince,
Dmitrieff returned to Bulgaria, rose
came the “Napoleon" of the Balkan
to chief of the general staff and be
war. Disgusted with the political
squabbles which followed it, this sol
dier of fortune returned to Russia.
With a half dozen more like him, the
Czar could have looked forward to a
longer life.
The Czar was using political as
well as military strategy. On this
date he had issued a proclamation
offering self-government to Russian
Poland. He promised not only to give
Russian Poland home rule, but to add
to it the Polish peoples in Austria and
Germany.
It was a bold and effective move.
It produced disaffection among the
Poles in Austrian Galicia and German
Posen. The results were seen imme
diately in the demoralization of the
Austrian armies where considerable
numbers of Czechoslovak troops de
serted to the Russian army. Whole
regiments of them changed sides.
HISTORY UP-TO-DATE
Sept. 18th 96 A. D. —Emperor Domi
tan of Rome was assassinated.
He had a presentment of violent
end, sought to avoid it. All the rooms
in which he lived were lined with pol
ished stones that he might see all
that went on behind and around him.
He decreed that all his servants
should be put to death if he were
killed; locked himself in when he
slept; had his food tasted before
hand; never ventured out; saw all
visitors one at a time and alone. But
he met his fate anyway,
A' distinguished soldier. Clodianus.

ed a knife into Domitan’s heart
Sept. 18th, 1634 —3OO years ago to
j day—Anne Marbury Hutchison, 44,
arrived at Boston from England to
become the first woman preacher in
America. She organized the first
women’s Bible clas, the first “ladies’

ability of men preachers caused her
to be expelled from the colony.
Sept. 13th 1793—The cornerstone of
the most famous building in the
i United States was laid, with Masonic
I ceremony, by President George Wash-
I ington. It was, of course, the Capi
tol. designed by William Thornton, a
Wesb-Indian not considered worthy
of mention in most American diction
aries of biography.
•Sept. 18th, 1867—Alfred Bernhard
Nobel, 34, Swede, discovered dyna
mite, by accident. Nitroglycerin es
caped from a cask into the siliceous
sand of the packing and showed him
how to mix a saf eand easily manage

of the English language: James Bos
well. When his mother died at 90, to
pay the expenses of the funeral John

a single week and sent off the sheets
to the publisher without reading them
over. The book was a popular novel:

YOU’RE WRONG LF YOU
BELIEVE—
That lightning never strikes twice
in the same place. It does. The
same place is as often struck again by
lightning, especially if it be an open
place.
A record kept of the number of
times the colossal bronze statue of
William Penn, at the City Hall, Phil
adelphia, is struck is adequate proof
of this. There are numerous other
conspicuous instances.
Also you’re wrong if you believe:
That diamonds are the most valu
able gems.
That tomatoes are vegetables.
Tell us your “Wrongs." The best
will be published and acknowledged.
