EUROPE DECLARED
ON VERGE OF WAR
"Any LunatiC Could Start 1t, "
! Says Austrian, Urging
Unity of Continent.
Hy the Associated Press.


BERLIN. May lin launching a
campaign for the establishment of a
European federation, the Aus
trian Count Won Coudenhove-K -Kalergi
writes in the Vossische Zeitung that
Europe is on the verge of another
war" The war menace, he declares,
IS greater than in 1914; the present
European developments are to be
viewed from historical standpoints as
the prelude to a new outbreak.
One day Europe will have placed
before her the alternative of war or
a general revolution as a counter
measure to new outbreak. and this
means the smashing of the present
European system" says the count.
who long has been a leader in the
movement in favor of the organiZa-

The count, who is the son of the
late Count Henry Won Coudenhove-
Kalesgi and a Japanese mother, was
born in Toxic when his father was

garian legation. He declares the
Western Alsace Lorraine problem

Iocarno agreements, but says in its
place at least a dozen new AlSace-
IorraineS have cropped uD in Eastern
Europe. which are located in the
volcanic zone responsible for all Euro
pean wars since 1871" He contends
that at present the main safeguard
against war is general poverty, which,
however. is not considered inSur-
mountable. He comedies that the
League of Nations also represents a
certain prophylaXis.
The count points out that the
tendency of every European state
which is more inclined to cultivate
relations with neghbor of neigh

neighbor continues permanent

Germany and Italy
Still another menace, he says,
threatens from Italy, the objective
of whose avowed Imperialism and
militarism still is uncertain, whether
directed toward Africa, Asia or Eu-
rope.
To-day" says Count Won Couden-
hove, ANY lunatic is capable of in

The only salvation seen by him is a

Ibsen's "Peer Gynt." Her per-

Miss Heni is touring America
after a successful season in Eng
land. Being a linguist of rare
capacity, she has thoroughly
mastered the English language.
In a recent review, the Bir-
mingham (England) News said
"Arna Heni took advantage of
her compatriotism with Ibsen to
show Peer Gynt as Ibsen really
meant him-as he can be shown
only by a Norwegian who feels
in her very bones the mysticism
of the folklore whose atmOs-
phere surrounds the story"

ANDREWS THINKS
ORANGE COUNTY
NEEDS MANAGER
Candidate for Clerkship Says
Present System is Ineffi-
cient and Wasteful
LARGE SUMS ARE HANDLED

S. w. Andrews, who will go
into the primaries in June as
a candidate for county clerk,
said yesterday that Orange
county should have a regular
full-time business manager.
The business of the county is
getting to be too large, he de-
clares, to be properly conducted
by commissioners meeting once
or twice a month.
This advocacy of county man.
agership is of course nothing
new. The unbusinesslike con-
duct of county affairs, all over
the country, has become one of
the conspicuous scandals of gov
eminent, and it has long been
recognized that the old-fashion-
ed scheme of rule by county COM
missioners was wasteful and in
efficient. But this is the first
time that a candidate for public
office in Orange has come out
with a definite proposal that the
present system be abandoned.
II am not criticizing the three
men who serve us as commits
siOners," said Mr.. Andrews.
'But no three men meeting one
day a month can manage Or
ange county's financial affairs.
Twenty years ago the county
collected about $4,000 in taxes
now it collects about $285, 900.
We have several hundreds of
thousands of dollars of bonded
indebtedness.
"The county ought to have a
full-time manager, who devotes
all his attention to the county
business. 1t can't be carried on
satisfactorily any other way.
What business man would invest
the money that we invest in our
county, on such a loose business
basis?
"Certainly something needs to
be done to put an end to the pres
ent system-or, rather, lack OF
system"

MADDOG NEARLY
BITES OFF NOSE
OF PINK GUTHRIE
Negro Crawls under House Ex-
pecting to Find Corpse,
But Animal Is Alive
ABERNETHY MENDS FACE

Pink Guthrie, celebrated negro
citizen of Chapel Hill, crawled
under a house after a mad dog,
late Sunday afternoon. Having
shot at the dog, and considering
himself a capable marksman, he
thought he was going after a
corpse. But the dog, still very
much alive, leapt at him and bit
a section of his nose of.
A few minutes later, at the
infrmary, DR.. Abernethy gath
cred the loose part and the sta
tionary part of the nose togeth-
er, took a few stitches, and dis
missed Pink practically as good
as new.
DR.. Calvert Toy began admin
istering the Pasteur .anti-rabies
treatment Monday and will con-
tinue it. one injection day,
for three weeks.
Pink lives on the southwest
edge of the village, out beyond
Isaac w. Pritchard's home.
When he heard there was a mad
dog nearby he issued forth from
his home with a gun. He shot.
and the dog went under the
house of the neXt-door neighbor,,
presumably to die. Pink pro-
ceeded after him. TBere was a
furious yowling from the fugi-
tive, and second later a wall
from the pursuer.
Pink's entrance into the in
Urinary, at an hour when DR..
Abernethy was rendering his
regular vesper services to a
string of patients, caused much
excitement.

The board of aldermen held an
emergency meeting Wednesday
afternoon to consider the prob
lem presented by the many dogs
that run loose in Chapel Hill.
They adopted an ordinance,
which goes into effect at mid
night Sunday, providing that
every dog outside of his owners
premises must be both muzzled
and held in leash. Any dog not
so controlled shall be shot by
the police on sight, cand its own
err shall be subject to a fine of
$50.
: Handbills notifying the public
of this enactment are to be sent
all over town before the end of
the week.
The Pink Guthrie episode Sun
day afternoon stimulated the al
dermanic action, but this case is
not by itself. There have been
other alarming instances.
The little Zimmerman boy was
bitten in the post-office one day
this week. His injury is not
thought to be serious, but the
fact that the dog that bit him
has not been identified, and
might possibly be infected, is
enough to cause some uneasi-
ness.
Until Wednesday it was not
known to the police and the
health officer that the dog with
which Pink Guthrie had his en-
counter had made a trip from
one end of town to the other,
swapping at dogs and men, be-
fore it reached Pink's home.

Aldermen in Emergency Meeting
Act to Avert Mad Dog Danger;
LeasheS and MuzzleS Required

three hours before, the animal
was seen down on the old Hills
boro road. George Coffin Tay-
lor and Vernon Kyser saw it
chasing a dog owned by Foy Ba-
ker. And it leapt at Mr.. Olives
dog near the school building.
Evidence gathered from all
who saw the dog has convinced
Health Officer Nathan that, be-
yond a doubt, it had rabies. But,
to make sure, the head is being
sent to DIR. c. A. Shore of the
state bureau of hygiene in Ra-
leigh.
The prevalence of unattended
dogs upon the streets of the vii
lage has been causing a good
deal of complaint, and the alder
men took cognizance of the situ-
alton several weeks ago. Before
their Wednesdays meeting they
had passed a muzzling ordinance,
but had postponed putting it in
effect until a committee, COM
posed of DR.. Nathan, Chief
Featherstone, and Carl Durham
should select and recommend a
suitable type of muzzle. The
most recent developments, how
ever, moved the board to emer-
gency action.
One of the favorite gathering
places for unchaperoned dogs is
the post-office. They are al
ways waiting for the mail, and
even after it comes and is dis
tributed they do not seem con
tent to- leave. The spot has a
sociable atmosphere which is ir-
resistible to them.

.Eurhythmics
Community Club Arranges for New
Kind of Musical Training

The Community Clubs music
department, of which Mrs. Paul
John Weaver is chairman, is or
ganizing a class in Dalcroze
Eurhythmics, to be held in the
Chapel Hill school gymnasium
during the first session of the
University's Summer School.
Eurhythmics is exercise in
rhythmic muscular motion. The
founder of the DalcrOze method,
Emile Jaques-Dalcroze, an emf
nent teacher and composer of
music, was for years professor
of harmony and composition in
the Conservatoire of Geneva and
is now director of the Dalcroze
Institute there.
The following passage from an
article that George Bernard
Shaw wrote about Eurhythmics
gives a good idea of what it is:
"Dalcroze's pupils walk, work
and play under the sway of
music. 1t is music that makes
them obey a command in a way
which would astonish a soldier
of the guard. Music makes them
think and live. Through music
their brains become so clear
that they can move the different
parts of their bodies according
to the music played until they
become a living collection Of as
sociated, dissOciated, and conven-
tionalized rhythms. What is
more, they finally create music
which eXerts an irresistible
rhythmic influence on others.
Such a fascination flows from
Dalcroze's school that every man
or woman who visits it cries out :
oh! Why was | not taught this
way"
Mrs. Weaver expects to get a
teacher who was a pupil Of Dal-
croze's and who taught Eurhy-
thmics in the University OF
Pennsylvania.
The fee for the course will
probably be $40. Children's
classes will be held five times q
week and adults classes three
times a week but with longer
periods.
Mrs. Weaver will be glad tc
answer anybody's inquiries a.
bout the plan.

To AdOrn Laundry Yard
Paulsen Prepares to Beautify Space
in Front of Building

Now that the new laundry
building near the west end of
Cameron avenue is completed,
Superintendent G. H. Paulsen is
making plans to beautify the
space out in front of it. Build
ing operations left this space, of
course, in an unsightly condition.
A road in the form of a horse
shoe, meeting the avenue at two
places, will be built. Some of
the brick for the foundation of
this road are already delivered.
The inside of the horseshoe will
be leveled off, properly fertilized,
and planted with grass and
shrubs. w. C. Coker, professor
of botany in the University and
the leading landscape gardener
of the village, will be asked to
give advice about the planting.
Only a limited appropriation,
if any at all, will be available
for the Identification, and so Mr..
Paulsen is going to have the
work done, as far as possible, by
the regular laundry force.
