ficial Communist newspaper, an
nounced that the BeSsarabian
question had been re-opened.
To any neutral observer, the in
ference was sufficiently plain. The
BeSsarabian question has been a
delicate one since Benjamin Dis
raeli. Queen Victoria's famous
prime minister, travelled to Ber-
lin to dictate peace terms in the
RusSo-Turkish war in 1878, when
Rumanian independence was pro-
claimed.
BeSsarabia was assigned to Rus
sic, with safeguards for England
to insure that Russia would not
penetrate too far down in the
Balkans. During the World war
Bessarabia, which lies on the
Northeastern border of Rumania,
was assigned to Russia.
The gist of the conversations in
Paris was to show Carol before
he called on Adolf Hitler and Her.
man Goering in Berlin-that good
relations with Moscow, and conse-
uuently with France, Czechoslo-
Vakia, Britain and Geneva, must
form the basis of Rumania's for
eign policy, or Bessarabia will be
the rich plum that may pop out
of Carols pudding.

Interest Keen In
WhiteIlurst Trial

Of the shortage to have reacned
$4,000, WhitehurSt was placed
under arrest on a warrant sworn
out by the town commissioners.
At a preliminary hearing on the
warrant before Recorder w. D.
Boone in Winton, Whitehurst was
placed under $4,000 bond for ap-
pearance in Superior Court to
answer the charges.
Under surety bond to the Town
of Ahoskie for faithful perfor-
nance of the duties of his office,
the bonding company had previ-
ously been notified by the town
authorities and the $4,000 was
subsequently paid into the town
treasury by the bonding company.
The case since the shortage was
first revealed to the public has
caused much discussion and COM
mcnt, because of the large sum OF
public money involved, the pro-
minence of the defendant, and the
long period over which the defal-
cation had extended without de-
lection Notwithstanding the peri
odic audits that were made Of his
books throughout the nine year
period over which monies were
taken.

Wright Memorial
Beacon Presents
A Real Problem

and so disrupted matters that it
was impossible to light the beacon
as planned.
Il can have the beacon lighted
on ten minutes notice. In fact.
it is turned on occasionally just
for the purpose of testing the
mechanism. But getting permis-
sion to turn the beacon on night
after night is going to be a hard
thing to do.
In the first place, this light is
not marked on the maritime
charts, and until it can be de-
signated on all the charts it would
be advisable to keep it darkened,
lest mariners confuse it with some
other light.
Another drawback is the fact
that turning on the beacon would
place the monument in the cate
cory of a lighthouse and some ar
rangement would have to be made
between the Commissioner of
Lighthouses. who is under the
Department of Commerce, and
the National Park Service. which
is under the Department of In
terror.
1T is unlikely that the Park
Service would go into the light
house business just to operate one
beacon, but someone would have
TO pay the salaries of two men and
the cost Of upkeep of the beacon
if it were to be turned on. A spec
ial appropriation might be requir-
ed. or it might be that the Bureau
of Lighthouses could take care of
these expenses.
ANY way you look at it. it's Il
complicated affair, and it looks
like there will have to Ic a lot Of

BY reaching Villanueva de la
Canada, entire rebels regiments
were said to have been decimated
by loyalist brigades.
The slaughter, on a battlefront
already streWn with hundreds of
bodies, was said to have brought
the toll of rebel casualties during
the last 48 hours to more than
1900.
The rebels attacked in German
mass formation up to positions
north of Brunette, thrown up af-
ter the 18th and 14th divisions of
the government army abandoned
the town.
The loyalists waited until the
rebels were upon them, then let
loose with every weapon at their
command. Entire regiments were
reported to have been ripped to
ShredS.
Several hours later the rebels
attacked again, in greater num-
bers and the loyalist resistance
collapsed.
Disclosure of the participation
of the two Italian divisions came
from two German aviators. cap
tured by the loyalists.
The insurgents held Brunette
under constant and terrific ar
tillery and aerial bombardment
that repeatedly took hundreds of
lives. Hardly a house remained
standing in the town.
The insurgent attack was pre-
ceded by a cavalry battle outside
Brunette in which Moroccan rid

capitated men with one blow,

Coast Guard Station since July
IL, during which time DR.. David
Cooper, who is rated as an as
sistant dental surgeon. has given
dental treatment to upwards of
rs men. He expects to treat a
ajority of the 200 or more men
in the district before leaving here
on August IS.
Because the Federal govern
ment is obligated to provide medi-
cal and dental work for its SER
vice men, and because it had
proved to be expensive and most
inconvenient for Coast Guards
men scattered along the coast to
get to one of the U. S. Marine hos
pitfalls whenever they needed to
have a tooth filled or pulled. the
Public Health Service hit upon the
idea of converting a trailer into
a dental office and sending it to
various points on the coast where
Coast GuardSmen could reach it
without too much Inconvenience
The trailer. first of its kind US
ed by the U. S. Public Health Ser
vice, set out from Washington.
D. c.. in December, 1896. going
first to C. C. Base 6 at Fort Lau-
erdale. Florida. From there it
went to tie Miami c. G.. air sta
ton, the St. Petersburg. c. G. air
station, the Pascagula cutter base,
the Biloxi air station. GuifSport.
Miss, and then back to Morchcad
City, N. c., which was its last stop
before coming here.
This trailer is equipped with
modern laboratory. the very lat
est X-ray equipment, a dark room
for developing X-ray pictures, an
instrument Sterilizer and numer-
GUS other pieces Of dental equip
ment representing 4 total invest
ment of over 5000, exclusive Of
the cost Of the trailer. Few big
city dentists have equipment more
complete Of more modern than is
to be found in this trailer.
DR.. Cooper says present plans
call for the trailer visiting this
district at least once year He
say the Public Health Service will
probably purchase a similar trail
er soon for use on the West coast.
