Farmer Prefers to

Leave Wife Behind Virgil Haskett, a farmer living near Strangling Station, believes it is better to return from Europe to a wife rather than to come back to a sweetheart . ; Accordingly, he and Miss Hesther Polk, of Cambridge City, were married in the clerk's office at the court house Saturday morning by Judge Fox. "I'd rather leave a wife behind, than to go away' single," Haskett declared. He added, however, that he did not know whether-he would be called or not, on account of his occupation. Hotels Serve Meals to Please Patrons, and Not For Profit A visit to a hotel kitchen reveals that they, too, are fighting the H. C. ofL. , Stewards say the dining rooms of hotels do not pay any more. They are run for a convenience, to the guests rather than a money-making plan. "During the last two years, meats and domestic canned goods prices have increased about forty percent," Steward Minnick at the Westcott hotel said. "Foreign canned goods have increased about one hundred and fifty percent." ' Hotel kitchens try to overcome the high cost of things by serving less of each article and by buying in larger quantities. Servants are carefully watched to see that they do not throw away unnecessary amounts of food. Two Seriously Hurt in Auto Accident E. D. Mroch, and son Raymond, 3years old, living south of Richmond were slightly injured Friday afternoon, when the machine they were riding in skidded off the road four miles east of Greenville, O., on the Greenville pike.

' Mr. Mroch's collar bone was broken and his son sustained a broken right thigh. Neither are In a serious con dition. STRIKERS BACK TO WORK SAN JOSE, Cal., July 28.

Or Will He GERMANS REFUSE TO GIVE GOLD AMSTERDAM. July 28. The daily recurring public notices printed in conspicuous type In German newspapers entreating citizens to aid the fatherland by giving it their gold evidently is Insufficient of productive results. The Weser Zeitung of Bremen publishes a renewed appeal complaining especially that the well-to-do public still fails to realize the situation and that all gold must be handed in. The newspaper cites examples of members of the German imperial and royal princely houses sacrificing their gold and jewelry and says competent authorities calculate that three- to four hundred million gold coins are being obstinately hoarded in Germany while the value of gold ornaments is esti- J mated at a billion marks. The Weser Zeitung says the public often asks whether gold cannot be loaned instead of given to the German imperial bank. The answer is no, because the law demands gold as j a cover for paper money and that it i must be in coin. The public is again urged to yield jewels of all kinds which realize good prices abroad and are most useful for credit purposes there. STOUT HEARTS AND STERN HANDS NEEDED TO STAY ARMY PETROGRAD, July 28. Premier Kerensky, referring to the situation in Russia said: "It is a spectre of anarchy which needs to be obliterated. Stout hearts and stern hands are required to stay the rout in the army. There is plenty of good material in Russia but it has been allowed to go to waste." Straw was employed by the Egyptians for making bricks. It was chopped up and mixed with the clay to make them more compact and prevent them from cracking.

American Officers in France Are Praised For Efficiency

WITH THE AMERICAN FORCES I IN FRANCE, July 28. By the Associated Press. The hard training which the American troops are now undergoing Is bringing out a marked degree of efficiency in young officers who recently joined the army, having undergone training at Plattsburg or at other camps. Regular army officers are particularly struck by the enthusiasm with which these men have plunged into their work. They declare that the quality of these men sets at rest any doubt as to the nigh standard of leadership In America's vast new army, trainingi The young officers have adapted themselves very quickly to the new conditions met here In training with French instructors, and seem to appreciate fully the most minute details. They are exceedingly earnest in their wrok and never tire. They have won unstinted praise from older officers who have seen long years of military service. The colonel of one of the old line American regiments, standing today watching the work of one of his battalions in which many reserve officers are serving, exclaimed: Praised by Old Officers. "They are simply splendid! I cannot say enough about them. I have never seen a finer class of young officers any where. With very little preliminary guidance they have shown themselves capable of taking over entire direction of the battalion. They have brought to their work not only much of the technique of professional soldiers, but the high moral and enthusiasm of men who have been attracted to military service by natural InclinationThe colonel further expressed what seemed to be the opinion of most officers already here, that as many of these officers from training camps as can possibly be spared should be sent to France at the earliest possible date to undergo intensive training in the actual war zone, and also to have experience In the trenches so that they will be fitted to act as Instructors to the American troops as they are landed. There is a feeling that these young officers should not be held in America until the regiments to which it is proposed to assign them are actually formed, but should come in advance of their regiments so that they can direct the final training of their men here. Would Make Them Instructors. Under this plan a certain number of officers would be assigned more or less permanently to training duty in America and men of the various regiments would pass through their hands for drill in the rudiments of soldiery, such as the manual of arms, ordinary marching tactics and general setting up instruction. They would then cross the ocean and the regimental staffs would be completed on this side from among the officers who already had undergone a course of study and training in the ever-changing rules and practices of modern European warfare. The men of the expeditionary forces have settled down into the routine of the new training very quickly and are progressing as rapidly as their officers expected. They are up at five o'clock in the morning and reach the

training ground not later than 7:45, -drilling and digging without Interruption until 11:30. After half an hourfor lunch and another hour for rest they drill again from one until 4:30 o'clock. The men lunch in the field, having sandwiches and other cold rations prepared for them before they leave camp each morning. The French, soldiers who are training the Ameri-i cans rest from 11 to 2 o'clock. Theyi have field kitchens and eat a -hot midday mealLike Bomb Throwing. As was to be expected, the Amari-; an soldiers have taken naturally to bomb throwing. They like that part; of the daily program better than any other. When they are not hurling dnmmy metal mlssils they may be seen practicing with heavy 6tones, dummy sheU holes having been constructed as targets. The Americans are wonderfully accurate and the French instructors are amazed at their skill, so easily acquired. This of course, is due largely to baseball training, although bombs are thrown with a straight arm swing quite different from the. elbow motion of the baseball pitcher. Word was received from headquarters today that the expeditionary

force field bakery would be In operation within the next few days, supplying the soldiers with "home-made" American bread. They have been living thus far on the regulation French war bread. Representatives of the Salvation army arrived at headquarters today and will soon make arrangements to hold meetings in the various billiting areas. Preparefor Winter. The headquarters staff has received from the French government meteorological data of the department in which the American troops are training and also for the part of the line in o which the troops may eventually be employed. These figures show January is the coldest month of the year, with a mean temperature of 33 degrees fahrenheit, a maximum of 46 and a minimum of 5 above zero. The lowest temperature recorded In this section of France is 9 below zero, in 1879, and the highest 102 in 1881. July is the hottest month with an average maximum of 90 degrees and an average minimum of 45, the days being very warm and the nights quite cool. November, December, January, February and March are all cold months with much rain and quite a little snow, so that preparations already are being made to protect the men as far as possible from winter hardships. The dampness causes the cold to be felt keenly, a temperature of freezing on this side being as uncomfortable and dissplriting as zero in most American regions. RECEPTION FOR MEMBERS New members of the Y. M. C. A. will be welcomed into the association at a social meeting Saturday evening.
