SAVING LIVES

TEACHERS SELECTED

Mrs. F. R. McFail was elected assistant superintendent of the boys' department of the First Methodist Sunday school by the board last night. Other teachers were elected and plans were discussed for the formation of a teachers' training class.

Capital society is discussing today a story of how the action of an American military censor held up the marriage of Captain Boy-Ed, formerly attached to the German Embassy, and Miss Virginia Mackay. Smith, daughter of the late Bishop and Rector of St. John's Episcopal church of this city. It is said that Captain Boy-Ed filed through the German Ambassador a request for the Kaiser's permission for him to marry, without which no German military or naval man may wed. No reply was received and the wedding did not take place. When Boy-Ed arrived in Germany his friends inquired about the bride. Then he learned that the Kaiser had sent his consent by wireless via Sayville, L. I., and also developed that an American naval censor had suspected a deeplaid plot back of the message and had held it up. At the Navy Department, however, knowledge of the supposed message Is disclaimed.
