W VJI KJ -A- . tMm. ;: JlUXir V BLUE DANUBE HIGHWAY AND A BATTLEGROUND Allies Complete Internationali zation of Famous Central European River The completion of the internationali zation of. the Danube ty the recent for mal action of the interested allied pow ers announced in Paris dispatches is the occasion for the issuance from the Washington, D. C, headquarters of the National Geographic society, of the following bulletin descriptive of ihi famous river: "From the Black forest to the black sea, over a course 1800 miles in length, the Danube has lone been a chain upon which romance and history have vied with each other to hang Interesting traVtions andoccurences. Geography too has done 'Ttsr share, and although the Volga exceeds its rival in .length, and although the Rhine In Thackeray and Hood has had better press agents, the Danube is larere. enough and beau tiful enough to rank in interest with the great rivers of the world. "There was a time when 'ths Danube Ws symbolized by an old fashioned waltz. But since the world war be gan, nothing but a hesitation typifies the place the river has held in the economic life of the countries through which it runs. It has been less the highway and more the barrier than in ro.wor slave NT r t vat np it lrVA to bind the various nations through which it passes into a trienaiy ana co operating group, it nas oeen omciany open to ships of all nations since the forming of the Danube commission in 1856 and the various states interested long cooperated to improve the navi gation facilities, especially in the lower reaches of the river; but politi cal conditions have done much to weaken the economic link which once bound Line and Vienna to the great grain shipping center of Braila, to which ocean going vessels can steam, and to the Black sea ports themselves. "Charming villages, beautiful mead ows, picturesque hills crowned with ruined castles, princaly palaces, eccles iastical piles and two of the world's most fascinating capitals are strung along the lengthy and winding river. Thriving industries raise their smoke stacks beside the stream whose legan dary color is blue but whose true tint varies from a dirty green to a nvaddy yellow. More tragic than the encroach ment of factory smoke has been in lata vasts tVto sari fs1p-tit nf mintlata chimneys from which the lifebreath of i ts wharves teemed with life aind its huge grain elevators bulged with the rieh products of Wallachta and Bo brudja, which has seen great develop ment since the Russians gave it to Ru mania instead of th mnra 1 ki nr,a f Ul UUIC ' fertile tracts of Bessarabia. From uaiat to the sea, the Danube has alr ready been under tha control of; an international commission whose duty has been to tarn the-river and the many pationalties to 'whom' ths river is highway or barrier according to.-the tides of human passion- and national life." MUST HAVE LIGHTS ON ALL BICYCLES AND MOTORCYCLES The department of public safoty, through Mayor, and Conunissloner James H. Cowan, yesterday called at tention of the public to that Motion of the city ordinance requiring all blcyr cles, tricycles and - motorcycles ;o carry a white Tight which shall be "visible within a -reasonable distance of the direction in which the machine is going." The department. Mavnr Cowan explained, has been receiving numerous complaints of persons riding bicycles and motorcycles without lights, endangering life and limb to pedestrians.' No complaints, so far as is known, have been received u t th riding of blind tricj cles. Violation of the ordinance mentioned by Mayor Cowan calls for a penaltj of not more th in $20 f r each offense. READ AND WEEP, ALL YE WHO DREAMED OF "HOPS" 1C WASHINGTON. Au;r. 25 Beer, as a medicine was doomed tnfinv vv tv, treasury unless oongrees after recess should fail to enaet the Willis-Campbell-anti-beer bill. In conference with Revenue Commit' sioner Blair, Secretary Mellon decided that the regulations already drawn, which would permit physicians to pre scribe a case of beer at a time with no limit or the number of prescriptions, should be held up by the treasury pending determination of the medical beer question by congress. In reaching thia decision it was rx. peeted the treasury took the attitude that issuance of regulations in rhe face of what was re carried a. nutii legislation would be to no purpose es pecially as brewers have shown no de sire to nave the beer rules promal- i gated or to begin operations oefore I congress finally accents or rH,.., th. anti-beer bill. i IX MEMORIAM MiSS Louise Parks SI no n nrK drowned at Wrightsville Peach on the j morning- of August 7, Is the subject ! 7 U 1 ..- "M, 1 oonuary appearing in a recent Industry seemed to have expired for- issue of the Statesvllle Landmark.

"Near its source at Donaueschingen, the river passes between the castle which gave its name to the late ruling family in Germany and a war monu ment to the Hohenzollern men who fell in the Franco-Prussian war. Farther down it passes through the once proud capital of Austria-Hungary, where the fine government buildings stand to the desnairiner inhabitants as a rocVinar re minder of better days, and beside the .prater, once a deer park and later a pleasure garden noted for its Viennese eaiety. "Still farther along its course just after entering Czechoslovakia, at its junction with the March, there is a towering cnn spirea witn a monument ereetea to ceieDrate onethousand years of Hungarian nationality. ThisMs Czechoslovakian territory now, and there last summer the Stars And. Stripes were dropped on the occasion' of the visit of a large' group of Czechs Americans to the newly freed land of their fathers. "Bratislava, now Czechoslovakia's river port, was once .the city in whose dignified cathedral the Hungarian kings were crowned. The boat station' mere reveals the changes which his tory has wrousrht. Over the center of the landing the present name is sriven but to the left one can see most ofl the letters of the German name, Pressburg' and to the right there is the Hungarian name 'Poszony.' "Vienna, brooding in its lovely parks, which lack the care that: was once lavished on them, and contem plating with cynicism the motto Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum,' whose golden letters decorate the walls of the ministry of war, is a sad sight. But Budapest. still militant. still haughty in the consciousness of its Deauiy, seems to have been less trou Diea oy the passage f war. Food is the main reason. Hn n reduced as it is, still contains some of the best land in Europe. Vienna, its maustry stopped, can do little to earn the food it needs. During the summer oi xju an tramc between the two cap itals was stopped by mutual boycotts niiu annougn steamers plied the Dan ti Via w T : v "" Alum .Luna io cuaapest, no tnrough passengers or freight were re ceived. "To the casual observer, Budapest 5s me same proua city as of old. The nne -arnament building and the im posing palace on the heights across the river, wher Admiral Horthy now rules, seem as attractive as before the war. The upper river is still crowded wim Datners ana with canoes and row boats in which charmin stalwart men do their best to attain a yojous coat or tan.
