TODAY’S YESTERDAYS 2520 Years Ago Today, May 28, 585 B C. An eclipse of the sun caused both sides to surrender in a hat tie be tween Lydians and Medes near the River Halys in Asia' The warriors interpreted the suddenly darkened skies as an indication of the anger of the god l --, laid down their arms and went their separate ways peacefully. (Our present knowledge of eclipse cycles and references of awed com mentators in literary antiquities make it posible for us to determinate accu rately the date of 2520-year-old hap pening' . The Lydians were the people that Croesus came to rule 25 years later There was no eclipse (o save him when he crossed the Halys in 548 B. C.. to wage war on Cyrus of Persia. His 420,000 were defeated, and Croesus "the richest of mankind," became a slave and a pauper. May 28. 1754—George Washington. 22. fought his first military engage ment—in British uniform.

WRITING WRONGS You may guess— That "price wars" are something new, a development of modern econo mic struggle. Yet an adveitisement in the Stam ford Mercury in 1716 said: "Whereas the majority of Apothecaries in Bos ton ha\-f> agreed to pull down the price of Bleeding to six pence, let these certifie that Mr. Richard Clark, Apothecary, will bleed any body at his shop, gratis.” Or you may be lipve— That famous Merrimac was the fiist iron ship in America. The John Randolph, launched at Savannah, Ga., in May 1834, was this brought over in a wooden ship. That STAMP, ALBUM/*® "TianM AT THE close of the World war in 1918, Switzerland was one of several countries which issued stamps marking the armistice. The Swiss adhesive portrays a fallen soldier who sees in the distance the dawn of peace. The design is most appropriate to a nation whose neutrality is respected throughout the world. The League of Nations has its headquarters in Switzerland and many important peace confer ences have been held in the Alpine state. Switzerland is one of the few riations which has no •tanding army, depending on a v militia drawn by conscription. “That $453,743. iT”” ppF m JUSSI Vi- Vj * v j&HgfiSgSn Robert M.

THE WORLD WAR 20 YEARS AGO TODAY May 28. 1915 Germany sent an eva sive reply to President Wilson's note of protest over the sinking of the Lusitania. Wilhelmstrasse was in no mood to temporize. It did not regard the Unit ed States as a posible belligerent. Its armies were more than holding their cwn on the western front, and there was great news from the east. Von Mackensen's “Phalanx” had forced a new Russian retreat to the gates of Lemberg, to the famous Gro dek lvup. a system of lakes and marsh es a few miles west of the Galician capital. Here the Russians had a strategical position similar to that which had enabled Von Hindenburg lo win the battle of Tannenberg and end Russian invasion of East Prus sia. But they did not have a Luden dorff and a Hofmann to show them how to take advantage of it. Meanwhile, the Austrians had push ed north and struck in the rear of Przemysl, seeking to encircle it from the South, as Mackcnsen aised at en circling it from the north. The fall of this lost fortress. Austria’s greatest prize, was made imminent. What Do You Know About North Carolina? By FRED H. MAY 1— What qualifications does the constitution require of a governor? 2 Wfjy did the King call on North Carolina to prepare to give aid in 1770? 3 Why di«. the legislature of 1745 annex a pan of Currituck to Hyde county? 4 What did General Green write General Washington from Charlotte about the condition of his soldiers? 5 Why were the members of the general assembly not paid in the spring of 1782? * 6ln what way did a northern writer describe a North Carolina far mer in 1865? ANSWERS 1— He must have attained the age of 30 years, tie must have been a resident of the United States five years and of the state two years be fore the election. He can hold only one four year term within an eight year period, unless he attained the office from the lieutenant-governor ship. The same qualifications are re quired of lieutenant-governor. 2On September 28. 1770. the North Carolina olony and oilier olonies were asked to prepare to avenge the in sult to the King toy the Spanish gov ernor of "Buenos Ayres" who had. dispossessed “His Majesty’s subjects of their possessions at Port Edgmont, Falkland Islands.” 3 The legislature of that year gave to Hyde county the Mattamuskeet section that then belonged to Curri tuck. This was done for the conveni. ence of the inhabitants who. until the change was made, had to cross about 100 miles of sound to reach the county seat. 4 After General Green had taken command of the southern army at Charlotte in December 1780 he wrote General Washington telling him of the condition of the army. The fol lowing extract is from the letter: “A tattered remnant of some garment, clumisly stuck together with the thorns of the locust tree form the sole covering of hundreds, and we have 300 men without arms, and more than 1000 so naked that they can be put on duty in case of desperate necessity. 5 The scarcity of Indian corn in the state warehouses was given as the reason by Governor Alexander Mar tin. On June 10. 1782 Governor Mar tin notified the county commissioners that payment of this certificates of the members of the genera# assembly was to be deferred until the next Sep tember. —“Spindling of legs, round of shoul ders. sunken of chest, lank of body, stooping of posture, narrow of face, retreating of forehead, thin of nose, small of chin, large of mouth. —This is the native North Carolinian as one sees him outside the cities and large towns.” This description was given by one Sidney Andrews in a book, The South Since the War.

Ford Peace Ship Os 1915 Recalled (Contii.ued from Page One.) from Hoboken until Dec. 4, 1915. Still, even as early as this the fliv ver king was giving favorable con sideration to representations that, if he would make the effort and spend the neccessary amount, of money, he could end the war. He was just beginning to he men tioned as a. billionaire—“the richest man on earth.” He likewise had just boosted his workers’ pay to a minimum, of $5 daily. It doesn’t sound so large now. but it did in 1915. Parenthetically Sen ator James Couzens says he was the one (not Henry Ford) who original ly advocated the increase. Still, he gave Ford credit for acquiescing in it. Anyway, maybe the Fordian ego was inflated. Dean Samuel S. Marquis (now of Christ church. Bloomfield Hills. Mich then the Ford company's welfare su perintendent,) who accompanied the expedition but was not overly hopeful of its success, told me that he sus pected as much. Additionally Ford, more than the average individual was shocked by the waste of conflict. From talks I had with him, on his peace voyage, I didn’t learn that he was so much horrified by war’s slaughter, as regarding it. economi cally, the “limit” of assininity. PUZZLED CONCERNING WAR Ford didn’t know what the war was aibout (who did?). He didn’t know frontier from fron tier. He assured me, on that voyage, that it was possible to travel from Denmark to Holland without crossing a belligerent country's territory, and yet without going to sea. He was convinced that anything could be accomplished with money— and he was willing to spend any a mount of it to end the war. inflation Is Dropped For Bonus Plans •’Vr* tinned trorn one ) the Vinson bill, or some combination of the two. It was decided definitely there wmuld be no compromise on their de mand for cash payment, but only on the method of financing. The decision, it was believed, virtu ally killed any chance of an agreement between the administration and the cash bonus bloc at this session An appeal was broadcast by the Patman leaders also for veterans not to march on Washington to demand the bonus. The expressed the fear that instead of helping the cause a bonus march would harm it.

Furthermore, fheir opinion was the couit ban against regulation of in. trastate business would handicap se riously any legislation designed to keep industry on an even keel. The consensus was that last night’s administration decision to halt code enforcement was inescapable, and that its appeal for business and in dustrial cooperation on behalf of pre serving- code standards was at best tout a stop-gap. Prediction by union officials of strikes in coal and textiles, should attempts be made to return to wages, hours and working conditions that preceded NRA. were noted without, undue alarm. Industrial leaders from various sections headed for vital con ferences at the capital to weigh the alternatives faced. Confusion was evident on some mar kets. Commodities declined to an ex tent and the stock market went down after opening fairly strong. Trading was active. Because of the projected study of the administration's measures. House leaders decided that today’s session, originally set for 11 a. m. for initial consideration of NRA extension should recess without action. Donald R.
