The day being rather dull HMI devoid of action around the police •Hlli.1 n I decided to step out and get •ye full of the actual proceedings HI a wedding. I knew where a nice qpQ was to be staged and hied myself April) to the scene, arriving some few meeients before the bridal procession rihMWred up. I amused myself by spinyarns with the aged janitor at li^Ano's a* he lay on the lawn in ftip* of the church, and by giving the lull cord a few Jerks to wake him up #f)«n I saw the bridal party coming 4Kfm the street

It wa warm in the church and I iJHir iprln tnil a nice seat near an open Window to watch the ceremony. The Ijflde was Miss Clara Keskoko, of 2121 iCatth Twenty-first street, and the was John Chervenko, of the Hills address. The bride looked quite «M| and collected in her fluffy raiment, p^Ftho groom was sweltering like the prdperbial colored gentleman at an •MHOS. I felt sorry for him as he piloted down the aisle at the head the procession, and tel4 aUuul nt of the altar.' I e ceremony started and unfortuy I could not understand what transpiring, curses to my lgnorof Latin. ^:.:r defter the bride and Wroom had hat I took to be doaens of

She'll Never Break

i. Through

Torre Hsutesn Prediots Biggest Battle In All History, with Germany Routed.

The following Is an extract written by Private Henry A. Olsen, Battery B, One Hundred and, JTorty-fUnth artillery, In France: "We are now at it. We all know that, due to the Russian failure, Germany has been able to mass untold numbers of men, guns, supplies, etc., to the western front. As Lieutenant told us tonight, while It is true

that the German civil population is on half rations and the old people are starving, the German soldiers have plenty of food, guns, ammunition, etc. Second, they are wonderful and experienced soldiers. Third, it has been adjudged by all of the highest military authorities that Germany wllj stake her all In the big drl^ la expected at any time." "If Germany can break through she -will win the war. If not, it means her total collapse, and she will never break through. It Is reasonable to expect her to start before the United States can get its full strength Into it. It will be the most terrific struggle and by all odds the largest battle in history. The loss of life will be terrific. I will be in it. With God's help I am going' to do my duty and then some. A lot of us will never roturn. We are all *W)lunteers. We did not pick a shell proof Job in an ordnance department, quartermaster corps, etc. We Joined to fight, to face death, discomforts of cold, wet, hunger, etc. Am I. blue or faint hearted? I am not I "I know that all of you back home are proud that I am going into real action. Your gifts, kindness, etc., have been a source of great encouragement to me. Foolish to worry! If I get nicked I'll never know it, and if I don't I have nothing to worry over, so why in hell worry at all? "Have been diligently studying commercial law, English and economics from regimental chaplain's collection of hooks."

MINERS WILL DEMAND TRAIN SERVIff TODAY

Intend Taking Definite Stand At Mass Meeting to Be Held At Brazil.

By Special Correspondent. BRAZIL, Ind., June 15.—All miners who are employed in mines along the Vandalia track between Harmony and Glen Ayr are to meet at a mass meeting to be held at the Sourwine theatre at 2:30 o'clock Sunday afternoon to discuss future action on the miners' train question.

Officials of the United Mine Workers of Districts Nos. 8 and 11 will be present and address the convention, and the miners' train problem will be gone over thoroughly. The miners claim that they have made appeals to every official and department they know of without getting any satisfaction, and they are now determined to have the question settled at once.

Many of the miners are in a mood to quit work unless a miners' train is promised, and it Is expected that this plan will be proposed at the mass meeting tomorrow. The miners do not intend to call a strike, but will Just refrain from going to work until the miners' train service has been Inaugurated.

The miners say they are tired of paying the excessive fare on the street car line and then bo forced to walk several miles a day. Over 600 miners are employed along the Vandalia track between Harmony and Glen Ayr, and this number Is being constantly increased.

VERY LANDING PUCE

Site of Babel's Famous Tower and Noah's Old Dam Site Also Hear Battle of Wv,

By Harold Earl Newman* WITH THE BRITISH^ ARMY IN MESOPOTAMIA April Jl^—(Correspondence of the Associated Press.)— Warlike scenes again encompass places made sacred by Biblical stories or association with Biblical characters, along the British Unea in this )2lr^t)place of civilization.

Going from Nahaf to lETiltah, one passes Kufe with its beautiful mosque, built upon the spot where, according to popular belief, Jo nan was cast up by the whale. Half an hour later, the traveler comes upon another shrine, the tomb of Eseklel, revered by Moslem and Jew alike.

The next relio one passes la Blrs Nimud, a huge mound of earth with a rock-like brick foundation surmounting it, which, according to Arab tradition, is all that remains of the town of Babel. But here the scientist comes In with his disappointing researches and tells us that it is merely a piece of work dating so further back than Nebuchadnezzar. The tower remains in view until one enters Hillah, Here science and local traditions agree, and one may look upon the ldentloal chamber where Belshazzar saw the handwriting on the wall.

The story of Noah and his flood is a tale easily credible in Mesopotamia. It nearly repeated itself in the first two years of the British struggle towarls Bagdad. It takes little Imagination to picture the dove vainly seeking a resting-place between Kut ana All Gharbl,

Fiery Furnace, All Right, Those who survived the July of 1917 can easily belieVe the story of ghadrach, Meshach and Abednego, or, If there is any doubt in their mmas, it will concern only the artificial origin of the fiery furnac^.

Babel, the mixing of tTie tongues and languages, is still in progress in Mesopotamia. Moreover, a new tongue is arising to increase the original confusion, a compact of English, Arabic and French. In the new tongue, railroad is called "shemmin-duffer," a corruption of the French "chemin-de-fer." An automobile Is called "stronbiil," which Is as near as the Arab can get to the English pronunciation.

At Aden the Arabs have coined a verb from an English expletive— "damfulni," to abuse, which is conjugated in all the Arab mooCs and tenses —"I damfuled you," "He dunifuled me," with the proper Arab inflections.

The British soldier, too, is broadening his vocabulary. Two of the commonest Arab words, "imshi," or go, and "makoo,"" or there is none, hare been
