MRS.
KATE SPENCER AND MISS
EULA COLE RETURN"
FROM rUROPE.
After having j,.ic s;v;ral wee'es
in Europe during the war which is nov
going on there, Miss tula Cole aad Mrs.
Kate Spencer of this city on Sunday
arrived at New York. W len the war
was first declared Mrs. Spe icer and Mhs
Cole were at Ncrth Cape, Norway.
While not in the 111 st acive part of
the war zone it was feared that thty
might be detained indefinitely if tHey
remained in Europe for any great lengt'i
of time and they at once started l.ci
to the United States. On Aug 1st 15
they reached Copenhagen, Demmrk,
and on the twentieth sailed from that
point to New York. In a letter received
by relatives here the to iristi st-ite that
they wi!l return to New Fe n in abo t
two weeks and friends here are awai.
ng their arrival with interest in orJer
that they may sret first ha'if niws of
con-iitions existing in t le Watr swe ,t
countries. It is expert ?d that Rev.
R. M. Von Mille-, the Jacksonville,
Onslow county pastor who wasin Ber
lin when war was declare ', will .return
home some time d .rin; the preser t
month if it is possible (or hi 11 to get ot
of Germany and aboard a steamer bo jnd
to the States. Aletter was received
from Rev. Von Miller about two weeks
ago and in this he stat xi that he was
in no immediate danger and wo 'dl
remain for a few weeks longer. Since
then events have' taken a turn which
lead his friends here to believe that he
will return home as quickly as possible.
