Arrive From Scene of Great
European Struggle

The happiest couple in Gardner
Vile today is Mr. and Mrs. VIM.
Starke, and the next to the happiest
couple. is their son and bride. who
arrived Wednesday from Germany.
There was great rejoicing at the
Hotel Germania upon the arrival of
Starke Jr. and his bride from the
war stricken zone of Europe.
Last summer, VIM Starke, Jr., went
to his old home in Germany to claim
as his bride young lady who had
been his sweetheart before he came
to America. The marriage occurred
in the month of August and upon the
exact date that his parents celebrated
their silver wedding at this place.
About this time, like thunderboldt
from clear sky came the declaration
of war that has plunged the countries
OF Continental Europe into one of the
bloodiest wars the world has ever
known.
Very fortunately, young Starke
liked America so well that he applied
for and was granted citizenship
papers. When he went to his mother
country, he carried passports as an
American citizen and were ii not for
that he would be carrying musket
in the great war
How well Germany was prepared
for war is gained from a statement of
Mr.. Starke, who says that at the out
break of hostilities. nearly 2.000.000
volnneers reported. whose services
were not required. at least at present
The "Ryndam" which sailed from
Rotterdam on September 9TH, on

that he can defeat La Grave.
