EIGHT YEARS AGO

August 1, 1914.-Italy seeded from
the triple alliance, formed thirty years
before between Germany, Austria and
Italy. This was heavy blow to Ger
man plans as Italy had been counted
on to attack France from the south.
1t became known later that France had
already received information of Ital-
ian neutrality, and several army corps
that else would have been kept on
the Italian frontier were released to
be sent north.
d. German ambassador left Russia.
Russia made no answer to German
ultimatum.
:, German ambassador left France.
Financial leaders of Europe notified
the powers that they would not toll
crate universal warfare. For some
years the world had believed such a
threat would stop any war.

which we fear we brought out imper-
fectly, and that was that the people
in that long shoe-string of counties,
less than a generation from the wild

their country than we have in ours,
which has so many greater natural

faith and obtaining profit by their

WON FAME AS SEA FIGHTER
Scandinavian Hero Also the Center of
Many Legends That Have En-
deared Him to Posterity.

One of the great Scandinavian
heroes of modern times was Tordenks-
jold, who rose from the rank of naval
cadet to admiral in eight years, and
died at the age of thirty, and is &C.
counted today as a naval strategist of
the first order. 1t was Tordenksjold
who, by his operations against Charles
XII of Sweden, preserved the freedom
of his native Norway and saved the in
tegrity of Denmark
All his experiences were exceed
ingly colorful and picturesque, so much
so, indeed, that legend has been busy
in providing him with an array of adj
ventures which undoubtedly never hap
pened. One of these is the story. that,
when boy, he sat down on a grind
stone to wear out the leather patches
which had been put on the seat of his
trousers as a punishment for tearing
his clothes. Once he pursued a frigate
much larger than his own until his
ammunition gave out He sent word
to the enemy, inviting the commander
to come aboard for glass of wine and
asking whether he would lend some
powder to continue the fight. 1t was
this sort of bravado which his age
delighted in. He was killed in duel

American Expedition Has Unearthed
Graves of Steeds That Once
Bore Proud Royalty

Objects unearthed at El-Kur'uw, on
the Upper Nile, by the Harvard uni
versity, Museum of Fine Arts expedi-
ton shed new light on the early his
tory of Ethiopia, the tombs of all the
kings from $50 B. C. to $50 B. g. hav-
ing been recovered.
1t is known that King Piankhy was
a great connoisseur of horses In his
account of his besieging the Egyptian
city OF Eshman he tells of his anger
at finding the horses of King Namlat
starved thin as result of the siege.
Hence it is reasonably conjectured
that Piankhy started a cemetery of
horse graves which was found at FL
Kur'uw-the only burying ground of
its kind that has been discovered in
the Nile valley. Here, in four rows,
are the graves of the steeds of several
monarchs. They have been plundered.
but not so thoroughly as to prevent
finding some of the trappings; a
plume carrier, silver head band, four
strings of very large bronze balls,
beads, amulets and other objects.
These horses were manifestly sac
riflced at the funeral of the king i'm
order that their spirits might accom-
pany his into the other world. The
sacrifice OF men and animals at fu-
nerals is now well established as an
ancient Ethiopian custom by excava-
tons in Kerma. But the sacrifice of

LITTLE THEATRE CLUB
PLAY ON MONDAY

Monday night. March u,
marks the greatest Eastern Nor
mai student event of the year.
when The Little Theatre Club
will present its first four-act
play for the students of the
school and many friends and pa
irons of the city. This club, by
its many successes and the TACT
that each member Is To a great
degree an honor member, has
won the confidence of all OF the
rest of the organizations and all
OF the student body or the cam
pus. Last year its efforts were
along the line OF the one-act
plays, many of which the patrons
of Richmond will remember
with pleasure. This year the club
feels that it is capable OF enter
ing an even more difficult field
and one which it hopes to prove
as successful in as that Of It's
former successes.
Under Cover" Is to a certain
degree a paly with mystery.
That in itself is sufficient Tor
any audience. But in addition to
this, it is being staged by a cast
OF superior qualifications, both
as to ability and, for the part OF
the young ladies at least, a rare
beauty and rharm. 1t is indeed
seldom that such combinations
are possible with a cast of mem
0erS. These men and women
have been before the eyes OF the
student body and the friends in
Richmond before and this in it
self is guarantee enough to draw
large audience.
