GIRLS ADMIRE SOLDIERS.
Jilt 1-eavenworth Young Men for
Army Lieutenants.

Leavenworth Kan, Nov. 20-War is
threatened between the young men of Lea-
venworth and the young army officers at
Fort Leavenworth as a result Of the cap
ture by the army officers of a large num-
Der of the leading society girls of the city.
The young men of this city no Longer
stand any show in matters Of courtship.
Last week three of the most prominent
society girls of the city severed engage
ments with city young men on account of
their infatuation for lieutenants at the
post. Within the past month four girls in
the city have announced their engage
ments to young officers in the army, and
it is said that at least four more engage
ments of the same nature will be an
noupced in the near future.
There are dozens of art-brolIen young
men in the city. and some of them de-
clare that they intend to form a society
to prevent the heutenants from visiting
the city. The yong men who have been
discarded. after being engaged. feel des-
perate enough to do almost anything to
get even with the officers who caused their
sweethearts to forsake them.
Since the opening of the general service
and. staff college at Fort LesaXH,enworeh n
hundreds of lieutenants live at the post,
and many board in the city. After their
arrival hero they soon succeeded in secur-
and in this way they became acquainted
with all the society girls of the city. A
majority of the young officers are hand
some and highly educated and they soon
became social favorites with the girls of
the city The bright uniforms seemed to
have a hypnotic effect on the girls, who
fairly bowed at the feet of the gallant
young officers Promises given to young
men of the city were soon forgotten, and
in a very short time the engagements of
lieutenants to young girls Of the city were
announced. More will follow shortly. The
girls give several good reasons why lieu
tenant is good catch. In the first place,
he has a lifelong job, at a fair salary,
and is liable to be promoted at any time.

Neither club offered a guarantee for the
match. The bids were wired to Sam

cided not to accept either bid for the
present, as the required forfeit of $1,000
did not accompany the bids. The boxers
have agreed to leave the bids open one
week longer.
