Thousands holiday seashore station visitors to gathered meet at the the, "American Beauty Special" from Philadelphia. So, too, were a hundred policemen, half a dozen politicians and a WPA band. Locomotive No. 5456 pulled the train in at 3:15. A cheer went up from the crowd and the band played "By.
The Beautiful Sea." City Commissioner William S. Cuthbert, grand marshal of the beauty pageant, greeted each little beauty as she stepped from the train. The town's handsomest policeman escorted the beauties to waiting taxicabs. Then, led by a battery. of siren-screaming motorcycle policemen they were whizzed to the boardwalk plaza in front of convention hall.
There, more thousands gathered. Thomas L. Husselton, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, disguised as King Neptune in a suit of clam shells and imitation seaweed, came out on a platform and issued a proclamation. mopping his forehead wither handkerchief, King Neptune proclaimed that all his subjects "everywhere" must pay homage "to her, the fairest of the fair," meaning Miss America. It was 96 in the shade, but there was no shade at that spot and not once did King Neptune mention- Atlantic City's, cooling ocean breezes.

The Fourth Army, commanded by Lt. Gen.
John L. De Witt, has just completed its maneuvers on the West coast, evoking the comment from Secretary Stimson that its units were far, far ahead of any of the divisions sent to France during the World War, when he was an artillery colonel. Troops Already Moving Toward Maneuver Areas Troops of the Second and Third Armies already are moving toward the maneuver area and by September 1, they will be in position for the preliminary phases. The maneuvers are to be of the type. described by the army as "free" in that they will not proceed in accordance with a preconceived plan in which the winner already is known.
As vet. the commanders of the opposing forces do not know what problem they will be expected to carry out. When the proper time comes, Lt. Gen. Leslie J.
McNair. general headquarters chief of staff, will outline the task and from then on the opposing commanders will be on their own just as they would be in real warfare. It will be up to their scouting forces to determine the position and strength of the "enemy" and for them to dispose of their men and weapons to make or repel the necessary attacks. 1,800 Umpires Selected To Decide Winners In Mock War A staff of about 1,800 umpires, composed mainly officers of the First and Fourth Armies, will decide the winner of the maneuvers and their decision will be based on the losses suffered, by both sides. computed according to a complicated system for estimating the losses sustained by units under given circ*mstaces in actual war.
For instance, the umpires' manual shows that infantry "overrun by tanks' -that is. if the troops are within 100 yards of any tank will lose approximately three per cent of its men in real war and that an infantry column surprised by low airplanes be likely to lose as many as 10 per cent. With such guides, the umpires are able to decide whether the various units in their jurisdiction have been wiped out by superior fire or whether by skillful- use of natural cover and proper dispotition they have been able to hold their losses to a minimum. The umpires also rate the tactics employed, giving credits or demerits APPALACHIAN FUNERAL HOME Phone 5111 Roosevelt Declares U. S.

Leavitt, national historian of the United Spanish Warl Veterans, delivered the principal address at, the annual Tri-State Veterans Association picnic held at the Soldiers Home yesterday. One of largest crowds ever to attend the picnic was present and heard Mr. Leavitt explain the veteran's part in national defense. The program began at 10 o'clock and was held in the Spanish American Assembly room. At 10:30 the veterans saw a film entitled "Go West." At noon a picnic dinner was spread on the picnic grounds in the grove, and the veterans talked over old times as they ate.
Officers of the facility extended welcome to the visitors after lunch. After Leavitt's talk the visiting veterans were conducted on a tour of the Facility. at the THEATRE ELIZABETHTON "A WOMAN'S FACE" With Joan CRAWFORD Melvyn DOUGLAS QUANDARY -Difficult is the life of Frau Hans Thomsen whose husband is acting as Germany's ambassador in Washington, for each new war crisis gums the wheels of social functions, may reduce her list of "friendly" fellow diplomats.

The Japanese have made representations over the shipment. The press kept up its insistence on the "immutability" of Japan's tie with Germany and Italy, But now that dawned on Japanese that the Russian-German war may be protracted, commentators have stressed the necessity of solving Pacific problems without new conflict.
Foreign Minister Vice-Admiral Teijiro Toyoda was urged by the widely circulated newspaper ChuKai to adopt a bargaining attitude and emulate Japanese statesmen who in the past have prevented formation of any strong coalition against Japan. Emory Henry Gridders Open Work Today EMORY, Sept. Football practice will begin at Emory and Henry College today with a much brighter, outlook than was hoped for last spring. Although four of last season's lettermen were lost by graduation, four and possibly two or three more by the draft defense work, and three for reasons, Coach "Pidney" Porterfield's outlook is not as dark as might seem. The twenty five scholarships for athletes approved by the board of trustees in June which cancelled their ruling of absolutely no athletic compensation passed in February, has given Emory the hope of again boasting an A-1 small college football outfit.
T. L. Porterfield, who has been promoted to head coach of Emory and Henry College, will have only ten or eleven of last year's regulars back this year but is rounding up a numbe of new recruits to fill in the vacant places. Emroy's weakest points are in the end and center positions. Elmo Early the only end who will be returning this year except possibly second stringer: last year's captain, "Whitey" Holyfield, who consistently filled the other guard position, will be greatly missed this year.
None of the centers will be returning this year. Jim Hagy and Blake Brewer will be back to fill the guard positions with the help of Billy Brickey and possibly Tom Asbury. Gordon Johnson, who was out last year, will be back at this year. Capt. Joe Shafer Emory, one of the tackle positions with French Kreger in the other.
The backfield is a big question mark. Billy Edmondson and Bob Neal are definitely back, but "Bear" Atkins is still uncertain as to whether it will be possible for him to return. Tony Mancuso, Charlton Graybeal and Shad Solomon, three of last year's subs, will probably return. However. it is uncertain about "Flash" Allison and Bob Kilbourne.
Emory's opener will be with Johnson City's East Tennessee State Teachers College and will be played on Fullerton Field at Emory on September 20.

for the placing of weapons and similar steps, Every Effort Being Made To Achieve Actual Conditions Every effort is being made to achieve realism in the maneuvers to a degree never attempted before in peacetime army operations. Even- -war correspondents will be liable to "capture" if caught outside the lines of the forces to which they are assigned. War Department officials said the forthcoming war games would provide an especially interesting test of "blitz" tactics because of the wide variety of terrain over which the troops will have to maneuver, ranging from the dry, rolling west-central region to the swamps and bayou country bordering the Gulf of Mexico. The area is sliced -by creeks and rivers, providing a wealth of opportunity for the army engineers to exhibit their bridge and roadbuild- ing skill. Supporting Elements To Play Major Parts Lines Behind the actual "war zones" all the supporting elements of the army will be called into play, just as they would in a real war effort.
The Quartermaster Corps will have to feed the fighting forces and keep them supplied with munitions; the Medical Corps will have to provide the facilities to care for the "casualties" determined by the umpires and the transportation division of the QMC will have to arrange for the travel of large numbers of the men from far distant points. At certain times. more than 100,000 troops will be moving by rail at the same time. New Army Weapons Face Acid Test Under Fire Army sources said it was unlikely that the maneuvers would produce many radical changes in tactics. However, they said the maneuvers thus far had demonthe need for much stronger anti-tank units and led to the creation of the -called "tank killer" battalions, equipped with modernized 75 millimeter cannon mounted on swift "halftrack" vehicles which originally were designed as troop carriers.
The guns, which can be fired from plete circle, thus making it much their mounts, can traverse a comeasier to train them on fast-moving tanks and other armored vehicles. The army took the wraps off its new "tank killer" at Fort George G. Meade, earlier this week and showed officers and newsmen that it had tremendous offensive as well as defensive power. Speedy formation of units seemed assured because plenty of modernized 75's are available and 10.000 of the "half track" vehicles powerful truck-like affairs with caterpillar treads on its eight rear wheelsordered months ago for transporting troops across rough terrain. Plans for close cooperation between tanks and planes in the Louisiana maneuvers have been made so as to give the troopsboth attackers and defenders- the fullest possible benefit of this development of the European war.
Because of the army's shortage of dive-bombers. however, two squadrons of torpedo bombers, 20- proximately 40 planes in all, are being borrowed from the Navy and Marine Corps for the occasion.
