route home he stopped over in Rich
mond to viist friends in the city and at
Union Seminary where he was a STU
dent. While in Gastonia, Mr.. Flanagan
/ paid the Gazette Office call. He talks
Interestingly Of his trip abroad and
more especially Of the adventures and
incidents encountered upon his return
home. Mr. Flanagan and party were
in Milan Italy, when war was declared
and their itinerary led them through
Switzerland and France to Liverpool
where they had booked passage. Be-
ing thus in the very heart Of the war
zone during the mobilization OF the
troops and other events directly con-
nected with the European war, their
homeward journey was necessarily
characterized by more or less exciting
adventures, causing varying degrees
of uneasiness, both Of body and mind

Peter S. Rhyme, of Gastonia, received
a letter Wednesday from their son, DR.
o. P. Rhyme, who went abroad early in
the summer stating that he was safe
and sound and expected to start to-
wards home within a few days. The
letter was dated August 18th and was
written from Heidelberg where DR.
Rhyme has been pursuing special stu
dies during the summer. This was the
first message the family had received
from him since the war was declared

easy for his safety. The soul
