CAMP DEMORALIZED Wood Nymph Promises to Sole Problem of Divorce. LACROSSL. Wis.. Aug. 10. Should America really become involved in the Kuropean war, the commander of the summer encampment of I'nited States! regulars at Sparta has a plan forj demoralizing tho enemy worthy of j consideration. He knows it is effective! because that his command has been suddenly unnerved without the tiring of a shot. The mysterious nude wood nymph, who startled Farmer Val Rushy almost out of his boots and who has successfully eluded all attempU at capture by the county ollicers, is the demoralized agency. She appeared on the fringe of woods near the encampment last night and it is with the utmost ditficulty that maneuvers have, been continued today. After the excitement over the twilight visitation sul sided, a sentry saw her again right in the midst of the camp, tugging at a wash tub filled with shrapnel. At the command of halt, she scampered off into the woods. Ollicers hunting for the mysterious woman have found plenty of footprints, but the nymph lvu eluded pursuR. They believe her insane and they say the soldiers at camp soon will be too if J-he is not captured. NOYHLIST I)I1. LONDON. Aug. 10.
