SAGINAW, Mich, Jan. g.
Obeying an appeal from his sweet
heart to Come back to me at
once" Maurice Gray deserted the
navy and came to marry her, only
to find that she had welded an
other. Gray was on the battleship
Connecticut, and received the al
Turing epistle from his sweetheart
who lives in Bay City, when his
ship was at Tacoma, last May. OBJ
tanning shore leave, he took
train for Michigan and went at
once to Bay City, but learned
when he arrived that the girl was
already bride.
Gray says he then wandered
about the country until last week,
haunted continually by the knowl-
edge he was a deserter and imag-
lining officers were after him,
FINALLY he decided to give himself
|up and returned to Saginaw.
Gray presented himself to Off
Ger Stuff at the recruiting station
here, who took him in custody and

and most interesting convention
since the beginning of the "Spe-

the greatest number of acceptable
applications prior to February %.

clothes to the one receiving the
greatest number not less than 15x
and the offer of a $35 suit orr
.overcoat to the next, then to 9TH;
ers a fine assortment of pins and
emblems, seems to have awaken
ed the members to a porper senS
