iAttle of Dan Cupid and his forces md the army of High Cost of Living! Ouring an engagement which has lastid the whole month of Juno, heroic Dan Cufcid, who has faced battle season after season, and hag participated n more engagements than any other tnowa general, who has created more mppiDees and the other thing than any ther factor, has been completely y(that is, almost) vanquished, and his forces are fleeing—far from the maddening girls.

in' one of

the corner* at

jthe court house and weeps real tears in his despair over the way his army t.s retreating, with no recruits enlisting ind everybody slacking. It's a serious '^situation when old Vigo county sees .but 94 weddings In the month of June, he month when every one is expected to turn foolish, and the young man's fancy turns to thoughts of love.

What's become of all the bridegrooms, anway? Were they all killed luring the war 6r married before the *«rar? This is the last call, too.

Some one said that all the 1919 mridegrooms were weak-kneed, that io feller wfanted to face love honoring ind obeying besides furnishing three iquare meals and a place to sleep for my woman, no natter how attractive he might be, whtie bacon and hams soared up in the millionaire class. Why sven soap is ten cents a liar, and no nan could expect his wife to take in irasblng and support him with soap ind trimmin's for washing so high, no natter how optimistic he might be. Tuat seems like somebody had taken :he Joy out of livin', anway. tt has been whispered about in a sewing circle manner that some of the returned bridegrooms "just wished tb«y hadn't," and that they had confuted the fact that Hun bullets were nothing to face compared to expenses for the week, the month and the year.

LiMt year, in spite of the fact that

on and that girls were go

ing to distant cities to be married from list®, that many refrained because they pould not have the usual bridal frills ""•froth and foam, that there was too

Koh cannon roar in the clang of the Carriage bell, there were 130 weddings, hat Uk there were 130 marriage lii»f«M issued in, Vigo county, so it is io wondsr that Dan Cupid is despairlay. It seems a shame for the world 'to allow H. C. of I*. to take such a 5rhack Dan's business and to com-' fdetely knock the man out of romance,

it certainly looks lllie that is what has happened. "Here Comes the Bride** has remained unheeded, the strains have gone merrily on, changing here ftt the last of the month to "Waiting at the Criurch." Wedding cakes iced early In thft season, now are covered with moaquito netting to protect them for another year. Tulle is selling, they •ay, for half price, white dresses are used almost entirely fo* shrouds (many die from lore although Shakespeare or Bill Herschell or some one deoiared that many have died and worms have eaten them, but not from love, they were speaking of men) and graduating dresses. The roses bloomed on unnoticed, except for decorating graves, life just don't seem worth living tad all that talk about women giving up their jobs to men and getting married was Just that—talk. It has been advised that marriageable women are at a premium in the wild ajid woolly ^est but far be it from me to advise glrla to go west or to hong any crape. But, anyway, there does seem like something wfts wrong in Vigo county, the men not proposing and leap year so far off and promising never to come again if they change the calendar down at Washington—but there's an Sold ladles' home where you can get I taken care of for the rest of your life "for $800—so don't worry girls. y.

snatched from news sellers by excited I'arisians going home from work. Plans for Ceremony.

Plans for the ceremony attending the signature of the treaty were considered by the supreme council today. It Is known that President Wilson favors making it as simple as consistent with the nature of the event, and the original plans for the conclusion of "the second peace of Versailles'' have been materially modified at his suggestion.

The plenipotentiaries wffl be seated on a raised dais in the center of the va«t hall of mirrors in the chateau of Versailles, upon which will be installed the table upon which the treaty will be signed. The program does not contemplate any set addresses, but It is believed possible that both Premier Clemenceau and the leading German delegate may make short speeches. The delegations will come to the table when called upon by Secretary Paul Dutaste to fix their signatures opposite the seals which will, prior to the event, be fixed to the instrument.

The announcement of Germany's acceptance of the treaty has thrown the Hotel De Crillon, American headquarters, Into wild confusion. Because of the uncertainty as to the date on which the treaty will be signed, experts, officers and clerks who will return on the George Washington with President Wilson have been ordered to be ready to leave on Tuesday night. Consequently trunks, bookcases and military bags were today tumbled into the corridors in great disorder and American soldiers rushed about in an effort to get baggage to stations as quickly as possible so that the personnel of the mission might be ready to leave at once, should the treaty b« signed on Tuesday. ,%•!

Rejoicing Is General. .,

PARIS,,June 23.—(By The Associated Press.)—Celebrations over the German decision to sign the treaty of peace without reservations were nowhere more enthusiastic than at 1/ille and other cities and towns In territory wrested from the Germans.

Newspapers printed special 'editions while cheering crowds paraded the streets and the houses were decked with allied flags. At Toulon, Brest and ohter naval ports, warships announced the news to the people by firing salutes of 21 guns: In all the cities government buildings were illuminated.

Will Name Delegations

WEIMAR) Monday, June 24.—The German delegation to "sign the peace treaty probably will be named tonight or tomorrow. ,*_»•.s/

Before the n?itl'6fral assembly voted today to sign the peace terms unconditionally, fiery appeals In opposition were made by the democrats and conservatives, but they apparently had little effect.

All but a few menders voted to signifying their affirmation of the government's decision .to eign« Gloom then appeared to descend upon the assembly. The most vigorous opponents of signing were speechless and seemed to accept the inevitable with resignation.

Many wild rumors of what would happen when ft became known the assembly had voted almost unanimously to accept the terms gained currency. One that appeared to get most support was that all the officers of the German army would resign if the government did not, refuse to sur

In military and semi-military circles a strong insistence has developed that the former emperor is innocent, and that under no circumstances must he be placcd on trial, except in a neutral court.

In some quarters threats of the officers to resign was taken most seriously on the ground that such action might pave the way for a Sparlacan and communist, uprising throughout e- o u n y
