OFFICERS HONORED FOR BRAVERY
Men in American Army and Navy Who Have Been
Decorated For Heroic Deeds

Ten officers OF the army and navy OF

of gold and silver medals. bestowed
upon the mby the government In rec

OF heroism must have been attended

but. where IA gold one is given, the
deed must have been of the highest
order of bravery.

Louisville, July 31-A special cable dispatch from Paris to The Times to- day says:
 Behind the announcement that Miss susanne Henning, of Louisville and New York. and the Marquis de charetts. are to be married. there Is an international romance. The young French nobieman was e constant visi- tor to the house of Miss Henning's 6 father. J. W. Henning, who has e coun- try place at Tuxedo Park. He also visited the Hennings In Louisville.
 The Hennings were opposed to the idea of having a titled son-in-law, and finally told Miss Susanne she must not see the Marquis again.
 Two days after the parental edict was issued the couple engaged Q chaperon. Miss Virginia Hamilton. who travelled with them to France. They fully expected forgiveness by cable when they landed in Cherbourg, but the Hsnnings gave no such sign. The couple and their chaperone were not over-burdened with money and put up at small. cheap hotel on the Rue de Turin. Then the young mar quis called upon his parents by tele- phone at their country home and endeayored to explain the situation.
 The baroness motored up to town immediately and took the young couple away with her to the family chateau. Next negotiations were be- gun with Mr. Henning. Ultimately he
