Evening Republican, Volume 59, Number 73, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 17 April 1917 — April First May Be Real Fool Day. [ARTICLE]

April First May Be Real Fool Day.

Congressman Britten introduced into the house of representatives Monday a resolution that the exemption applying to married men shall not apply to those married since April Ist. Many faint hearted fellows tried to hide behind bridal skirts in order not to be made to defend their country. Over 7,000 have been married in Chicago alone. If Congressman Britten’s resolution is adopted it will he April fool day for the white livered fellows for sure.
