France, Great Britain and Russia,
whereby Roumania was to receive in
the promised division of Austcia-Hun-
gary the whole of Pennsylvania Ba-
nat, a large slice of Hungary up to a
line from Szeged to halfway between
Csap and Szatmar-Nageti, as well as
the Bukovina up to the Pruth. This
was later to be called "The most eth
nically unjust of all the secret agree
ments made during the war"
The treaty had been drafted Aug.
8. The Allies were to advance from
Salonika on the Goth and Roumania
to declare war on the 27th.
However, the plans for the advance
were betrayed to the Germans by
two French officers, and it was not
until Sept. Z, that Sarrail could move
his army out of Salonika. 1t gave
the Germans and Austrians time to
begin crushing movement that
could not be stopped.

TODAY'S YESTERDAYS

Aug. 81, IS B. Civilization ar
rived in the west.
Caesar himself tells us that he pro-
ceeded on his expedition when little
of Summer remained-when the peo-
pie in the south of Britain were err
gagged in their harvest-and we
know that he returned to Gaul three
weeks later, before the Equinox
Thus the day must have been in
August. He further tells us that the
full moon occurred on the fourth day
after his landing. The full moon in
August of that year is shown by as
Economical calculations to have been
at a. m. on the 31st Hence julius
Caesar landed In Britain at Hythe on
the 9th in the afternoon, after hav-
ing set out from Boulogne at mid
night with 5000 men in 80 transports
Plutarch tells us: His expedition
into Britain was the most famous
testimony of his courage. For he was
the first who brought a navy into the
western ocean, or who sailed into the
Atlantic with an army to make war
and carried the Roman en-
pire beyond the limits of the known
world"
Because he did, a language that
stems 60 percent from Latin the Ro-
man alphabet and calendar, and
Christianity are the heritage of Anne
ricans today.
Carrying civilization to Britons
was not, however, Caesars purpose.
He was attracted to the island by
pearls. They proved of little value.
Aug. 81, 1749-James Monroe was
born in Westmoreland County, Va, Of
Scottish ancestry. He was SO when
he was elected President and began
the most peaceful administration the
country has ever had. Political dis
sention was even less than in Wash
ington'S terms, and Monroe's eight
years in the White House came to be
known as the EZRA of good feeling"
In the election of 1920 Monroe re-
ceived all except one of the electoral
votes. The elector who cast his vote
against Monroe said he did so in order
that no man could be said to stand
in the shoes of George Washington.

New York, Aug. 27.-Ship Sailing:
The captain sits in the drawing
room of his suite, resting his eyes and
slipping & tiny cup o. coffee. He is an
old man in 4 few more trips he will
be marooned on land. Marooned.
That's what it ii be, for he has fol-
lowed the sea for tbirty-five years
and he has no ties any more with the
lard.
But he can rest fol few brief mo-
merits now and think long thoughts.
The business of loading, of innumer-
able small details connected with a
departure, is concluded. The pilot will
take over out through the Narrows,
out through the channel. The captain,
for a few fleeing seconds, can rest;
can close his eyes which must soon
learn to accommodate themselves to
the cramped distances of the land,
after sweeping for so long across
large horizons.
He is tired. He has reached an age

yet re breads one thing more: his

National Banks Exempt

According to published
statements, the Internal Rev
enue Bureau has ruled that
national banks are exempt
from the social security law
tax for unemployment insur-
ance. For months the banks
have beseiged the treasury
for a definition of their status
under that act, which imposes
a tax of one per cent of pay
rolls, this year, for the estab-
liShment Of an insurance
fund. In response to requests,
J. F. t. O'Connor comptroller
of the currency, wrote to Guy
t. Helvering, commissioner of
internal revenue, asking for a
decision. Helvering replied
that the banks were not sub
ject to the act. Helvering's
letter has not been made pub
lie, but his Interpretation was
reported authoritatively to
have been based upon a sec
tion of the law exempting the
federal government and its
'instrumentalities" from the
tax, with the national banks
assumed to fall in the latter
category.
