New York. Oct. 2.—Down the Bay:
It is six forty-five a. m. and a sleepy
trickle of reporters and sound camera
men collects in front of pier A, the
Battery. The skyscrapers of lower
Manhattan stand cool and remote
from life in the after-dawn quietude.
1 drop into a coffee pot .where sev
eiai scribes I know are snatching a
reviving cup of java. There will be
coffee on the cutter, but this dose is
a sleep-destroyer. One red-eye news
r* eler has been up all night and he
washes down a pair of aspirins mo
rosely.
The little group grows. Customs
men. In their yellow-green uniforms,
match steadily past, nodding to old
acquaintances of th« ship-news bri
gatie Tlie squat little coast guard
cutter rocks at the pier while sailors
holp the lens lads hoist t'leir heavy
cases and reels of sound .able to the

Till-. TAKEOFF
Clay irjrgr.n, the uapper and genial
press agent for the French line, who
is by the way, an authentic Manhat
t.\ i personality, lit iratus and intimate
o' notables, l.u:ties down the catwalk
p’ with a gay-j! y that belles the- un
l.va’J-of hou’.
The cutter casts -ts lines and chugs
off toward the misty liners which wait
on the horizon. Already a stud poker
game is in progress in the little cabin;
this game has been in session longer
than most ship news reporters can
remember. Coffee boiis and makes
the air fragrant.
Presently we are alongside the
Fianconia, homeward bound from a
cruise. The prow is nicked from
bumping a freighter in fog, a mishap
fortunately trivial, and the camera
men aim their boxes f.-aui ically at the
biuised keel. The Santa Clara is nex l
and another pair of government men
are swallowed Into a safety door near
the waterline.

LATE ARRIVALS
We head out now brskly toward our
final goal, the huge Isle de France,
anchored off Quarantine. But we put
in flist to shore at Quarantine, where
a tardy reporter has arrived by taxi
frantically. The captcin of the cutter
is nothing if not obliging. Indeed,
most of these men have been making
tiie trip for years and are his good
fi lends.
A mail boat glides away from the
Isle de France and we board her,
(many decks down, and climb flight
after flight of stairs. Elevators raise
the bulky cameras to upper tiers. On
the sports deck the pick of the no
tables are assembled. We have all
been furnished with mimeographed
lists of famous folk arriving. Ship
news men have routed them out.
Will Rogers grins his mile-wide giin
and wisecracks mildly for the elabor
ate set-up of sound apparatus which
has been quickly installed. Then he
poses for the still cameras. Eob Rip
ley and Jack Lait go through the same
routine. Dr. Alexis Carell and others
pose.
I watch the passengers coming
(home. Their emotions are tangled;
they feel the old surge of rejoicing to
be in the shadow of that skyline again
but their vacations are, after all, over.

## Tears Ago Today: The Battle of Arras started. Removal of the
Belgian base from Antwerp to Ostend began under fire of German siege
guns. Stocks of American concerns manufacturing or dealing in war
supplies were shooting up, as reports came in indicating that the Euro

were rising in the U. S. because of heavy European purchases. Generals
Ferdinand Foch and Paul von Hindenburg had birthdays.

THE WORLD WAR DAY-BY-DAY
Oct. 2, 1914 —The men who were to
become the foremost adversaries in
the World War, Foch and Hindenburg
had their Natal Anniversaries the
same day.
Paul Ludwig Hans Anton von Ben
echendorf und von Hindenburg now
was commander of the German IX
army, in the south of his native Po
land. The antagonist whose over
whelming defeat at Tannenberg had
made Hindenburg a national hero, j
was dead. After that Debacle, Alex
ander Samsonov, 55, went into a wood
and shot himself. He was buried
among the thousands of Russians who
died obeying his orders. His widow
coming into Germany with the Red
Cross, searched among the bodies un
til she recognized his by a medal for
bravery that he wore.
On his 67th birthday. Hindenburg’s
IX Army, with the Austrian I army
on its right, was pushing hack Rus
sians toward Wnrsaw, where a great j
struggle was to take place.
On his 63rd hirtnuay, Ferdinand
Foch was assistant to tne command
er-in-chief, .loifre, with the task oi
coordinating the movements of the
various French armies in the north
with those of the British and Belgian
j forces. The French generals could
: advise, they could not command, their i
■ allies.
Eighty miles west of beseiged Ant- ;
werj), »ne liist battle of Arras was j
raging. First, the French II army |
ol -.yen. de Castelnau. brought up '
from Lorraine over a ciicuitous route
in those cookie-box cars---homines 40,
chevaux 8 had attempted to out
flank the German right wing north of
the Oise and cut off the arm the j
enemy was reaching toward the sea.
Six enem corps, detached from vari
ous parts of the line in a hurry, were
hurled into the combat, and after
fighting as bloody and furious as
any in the war, Castienau’s outflank
ing attempt came to a stop on the '
Somme. Then Gen. Maudhuy was |
given command of a newly formed
French X army and ordered to try
an outflanking movement a little
further north. Instead of being able
to pass around the German flank, he
he found himself o nthe 2nd strug- j
gling desperately to hold Arras.
Britain, awakened now to the prob
ability of the success of the German
sweep norts and capture of Belgian
ports, disclosed intentions of mining
the North Sea.
HISTORY UP-TO-DATE
Oct. 2, 1700 Charles II gave away
his entire country! He bestowed the
kingdom of Spain, including all its
possessions in the Americas, upon
Philip of Anjou of Anjou, aged 17,
who was no relative and had no claim
upon the thorne
Charles had no direct heir, and in
his will, made this date, he bequeath
ed his throne to the Bourbon prince
Four weeks later he was dead.
Philip also gave away the crown,
had to take it hack, tried to give it
away again.
Lait and I chat about the other side;
he says that the two most absorbing
news personalities in Europe .vhile he
was there were Dillilnger and Hueyl
Long; Europeans were vastly mystifi
ed by both.
Now the reporters and cameramen
are gathered in ihe little room reserv
ed for them aft of the main dining

October 2, 1780 —Maj. John Andre,
29 adjutant-general of the British
army in North America, wos born at
j the foot of the gallows in Tappan, N.
Y., upon which he was hanged. He
had wanted to die a soldier’s death
by shooting, but George Washington
denied him this final request. }
His last thoughts were of Honora
Sneyd, his letters show. When her
family blocked their marriage, he
joined the army to forget her. She
married another, but he entinued to
love her from afar.
His body was to lie in alien soil for
41 years. In 1821 it was moved to a
hero’s niche in Westminster Abby.
A Nsw York merchant commemorated
the site of Andre’s first grave with
i a monument. It was chipped to
pieces by relic hunters. Another mon
ument was set up by Cyrus Field, who
wanted to show that Americans could
honor brave, soldierly qualities even
in an enemy. An angry crowd hack
ed away the inscription. Field re
paired it. A mob blew it up with
dynamite.
Oct. 2, 1850—Amelia Biffon, renown
ed English painter, died at 55. She
had neither hands nor arms. She
i painted with a brush held in her teeth.
Oct. 2. 1895 The Texas Legislature
met in special session to stop a prize
fight. The legislators were called by
Gov. Culbertson to enact a law that

TODAY’S HOROSCOPE
In olden times this degree would

The mental tendency seems to be to

tendency can he turned into forceful
investigation, there is no reason why
success should not be attained.

■'Hundreds oi millions will be paid North Carolina farm

lakers, thieves, robbers, charlatans, bogus stock sales
men, land speculators. Advise the farmers to keep r.u
