McDONALD'S MEETING
To the Editor:

III tuC A1OACOA
DIR. Ralph Mcdonald brought his po-
litical circus and vaudeville show to
town tonight and showed in tn Getty
Auditorium, which seats approx
mately 1000 people. The crowd was
composed of visitors from all over
the State and the usual number Of
curiosity seekers from Raleigh. A
good many of those who braved the
torrid temperature of the Hall, ex-
pressed themselves as not having got
ten their moneys worth at the show
No one can truthfully accuse DR..
Mcdonald of any outstanding orator
ical ability, his address was purely
sophomore. His chief appeal was to
the prejudices of his hearers. The
applause he received was not spon-
taneOus except in spots when the or

is difficult for any one to see just
what purpose the good doctor and his
lleutenants had in mind when they
first conceived the plan for the meet

believed to be inspirational, however
the crowd was far from unanimous
IN their applause and they were quite
obviously there to be entertained 1t
is doubtful that single vote was
changed for the doctor. A goodly
number of colored citizens were pre-
sent and there were a number of
empty seats left after the crowd got
settled

about her to pass that up.
She could have done that, written

FIRST WORLD WAR DAY-BY-DAY

20 Years Ago Today-To continue
the account of the battle of Jutland:
Back in August 1914, the German
light cruiser Magdeburg had been
sunk in the Baltic, and upon the body
of a German officer, Russians found
cipher and signal books, as well as
German SQUARED maps of the North
Sea. These were sent to London and
thereafter, by intercepting the
enemy's enciphered wireless messages
the British intelligence was able to
obtain advance information of many
of the enemy's movements. Although
The Germans made variations in
codes from time to time, their eff
forts to seal UP the leakage of in
formation was offset by development
of directional wireless as a means
of locating the position of ships.
Thus the British were forewarned
when Admiral Sheer, commander of
the German high seas fleet, sent his
scouting force of battle and light
cruisers, under Admiral Hyper, to
demonstrate off the Norwegian coast.
His plan was to thus draw part of
the British fleet into a trap and de-
stroy it. The main section of the
British Grand Fleet under Admiral
Jellicoe, put to sea, and Admiral

WHAT TO DO2


Was 1t proper. was 1t fright?
Joan asked the question and laughed.
She had never heard Of a secretary
to-be being interviewed by a pros

but she supposed that authors and
playwrights might be different. And
II did seem like sound idea She
was so beastly hot and untidy.

the servant had said. That, at least,
made it seem little more conven-
tional. and then the thought occurred
TO her that she had been mistaken
for a guest. Certainly. she mustn't
presume to that extent.
She wiped her face with her hand
kerchief. abandoned the hope of any
help from powder. touched her mouth
up with her lipstick and tidied her
frock. Then, running comb
through her hair, she put her hat on
sedately and went downstairs.
She stood undecided at the foot Of
