of friends. The bride, in company
with her uncle and aunt, Mr.. and Mrs.
Ed s. Derden, went on a visit to San
Antonio, and was joined there by the
groom, the wedding taking place as
stated. They did not take their
friends into their confidence and APP

lovers are, however, freely forgiven.
From Bryan friends congratulations
numerous and hearty will go out to
Mr.. and Mrs. James and wishes for
the best that life holds will follow
them.
The bride and groom have always
lived in Bryan among friends who are
tried and true, whose every heart is
sincere with interest and love for
them. The bride was becomingly
gowned in a stylish coat suit Of
brown velour de lain, with hat, shoes
and gloves of corresponding shade.
She wore corsage bouquet Of brides

was distinctive from all viewpoints
and was OF a dignified character fitted
to enhance the sacredness OF the oc-
casion which marked the termination
of happy girlhood and the beginning
of new life lit with the glow of pure
affection and happiness. A sweet
sanctity pervaded the dim, silent
church and formed a fitting at
mosphere for the solemn ceremony
which united the destinies of these
young people. Rev. Emory Hawk was
the officiating minister and the time
honored ring ceremony was used. In
this quiet wedding with only relatives
and a few intimate friends present,
the impressive ceremony lost nothing
of that sweet sacredness which hovers
like benediction around the mar
riage altar. A romance started during
early childhood was thus happily
eliminated and the happiness Of low
ing hearts realized. The announce
ment of this interesting nuptial came
as a complete surprise to their hosts

educated and accomplished. Her
petite figure and pretty face have
graced many social functions for sew
eral seasons, and no girl was ever
reared in Bryan who was more uni
versally beloved than she. Mr..
James needs no introduction to the
people of Bryan. He is well known
and successful young business man,
of unusual ability and sterling char
acter, whose genial manner and abili-
ty have won him host OF friends in
the social and business world. He Is
in every way worthy Of the implicit
trust and confidence Of the young
woman who has entrusted her future
to his keeping.
Mr.. and Mrs. James will remain In
San Antonio for couple Of weeks
before returning to Bryan.

DOROTHY ARNOLD
ON BIBLE FLY LEAF
Family's Lawyer Doubts
Book Found on Girl in
Texas Is a CleW.

Experts long ago agreed that the
mystery Of the disappearance Of Dor
othy Arnold would remain unsolved
but every so often something happens
to recall the case. This time it is the
arrest of girl in Texas who carried q
Bible. on the fly leaf of which was
written Dorothy Arnold" To add color
TO the story yesterdays report from
San Antonio had it that slip of paper
had been pasted over the name.
The case of the missing girl was
sure TO be remembered this week, any
way, for it was just four years ago
this coming Saturday that she left her
home and family, at los East 18th ST.,
and was swallowed up. With the Texas
prisoner was a man who calls himself
Fred j. Benson. The pair are held
pending an investigation Of pawntick-
cts for alleged stolen goods. They
came from Mexico recently.
Speaking or the family last night,
John S. Keith, of 81 st. Nicholas Place,
the lawyer who has had charge of the
search for Miss Arnold, said that in
the last year not one clew had been
turned up that vas considered worth
investigating
He would like TO see the handwrit-
ing in the Bible in San Antonio, he
said, because then he could easily prove
or disprove the validity of the sigma
ture. Miss Arnold's peculiar system
of writing could not be mistaken any
where, he said.
Outside Of saying that he would like
TO see the signature Mr.. Keith mani
tested little interest in the clew. In
the first place he was quite sure that
the missing girl would not be in the
company of lawbreakers if she wero
alive. Then he announced positively
that she never had a Bible. A hand
bag was all she carried from her home,
except the clothing she wore, the law
yer said finally, although as the re-
suit Of an afterthought he intimated
that he thought the Texas clew was a
joke.
William J. Flynn is one Of the many
who have been concerned in the search
for Dorothy Arnold who thinks she is
dead. The announcement Of her dis
appearance was made by him when he
was second Deputy Police Commission
er in charge of the Detective Bureau
AS long as he remained in the depart
ment he thought his search would be
successful. Since then he has changed
his mind.
Much mystery has always surround
ed the case. Although the girl went
away in December, 1910, 1t was not
until January 20, 1911, that the public
was informed that worldwide search
had been instituted.

night, gave q private lecture several
days ago to a party Of friends at Saga
more Hill upon his adventures on the
River of Doubt" Among several
thrilling escapes by members of the
expedition described by him. the Colo
mel told of fish which he called the
"cannibal fish"
This fish, the Colonel said, though
only about eighteen inches long and
almost as wide, was of indescribable
ferocity. One day, he said. one Of the
native carriers fell into the river. AL
most instantly he was attacked by
"cannibal fish," which swarmed around
him and we're so voracious that when
the rescuers arrived, only the skeleton
of the man was left.

London, Dec. "a dispatch TO THE
Daily Mail" from Rotterdam says that
a bombardment OF the Belgian coast
between 0stend and Nieuport began rt
o'clock yesterday afternoon in con-
junction with land operations.
A correspondent Of "The Daily Ex-
press" telegraphing from the Belgian
frontier, says:
"The German divisional headquar-
ters was removed from Roulers when
shells began to fall in the town after
the British had recaptured Passchen-
daele, eleven miles northeast of Ypres.
This indicates distinct and inn
portant advance by the Allies"
London, Dec. 8.-Fierce fighting at
points along the Flanders battle front
is mentioned in to-day's dispatches.
The fragmentary reports indicate that
the Germans are on the offensive from
a point south of Ypres northward
along the User Canal to the coast, a
distance of approximately twenty-five
miles.
The French official report tonight
announces that the Germans have
made q violent attack upon the Allies
at Saint-Eloy, south Of Ypres, which
was repulsed. This may mean a re-
newal of the German attempt to bat
ter through the allied lines.
A wireless dispatch from Berlin
quotes the German headquarters staff
as saying that in the West everything
is proceeding according to our pro-
gramme." This is taken to mean that
decisive action may be attempted any
day and that Berlin believes the Ger
man operations to have been successful
so far.
To-day's official German report, also
received by wireless, is less definite
than the statement issued by the
French War Office. II says the bad con-
dition of the roads along the coast Of
Flanders is causing great difficulty in
the movement of German troops.
Whether this has reference to the bonn
bardment of a coast town west Of Nieu-
port, on the Calais line, which was Of
ficially reported yesterday by the
French, cannot now be said, but IL is
noteworthy that neither yesterdays
nor to-day's official German reports
contain any mention Of that lombard
ment
"Some slight progress" to the north
of Arras is claimed in the German re-
port, while the French report of opera
tions in the region of Arras again men
tions the French occupation of Ver-
melles positions, which engagement
had already been circumstantially de-
scribed.
According to kilograms from Sluis,
Holland, via Amsterdam, fierce fghting
has been resumed on the User.

GERMAN AIR BOMB

Du- kirk saying that Lady Decies, for
merly Miss Vivien Gould, daughter of

"On the occasion of the last visit Of

Germans Claim Capture of
100000 Russians at Lodz

London, Dec. S.-The great battle for
possession Of Poland continues. The
front extends along 300 miles, and VIC
tory over a part of it at least appears
TO have fallen to the Germans, while
the Russians are pressing upon Crscow
in the south.
That LODI has fallen into German
hands seems to be undoubted, and a
Russian official report just issued ap-
parently is preparing the public mind
for the news by referring TO the diff
ficulty Of defending the city, which
gives to the Russian front an abnormal
contour, and forecasting reforming
of the line.
Details of these mighty battles have
yet to be written, and the general facts
that there have been fearful slaughter
and intense suffering from the cold
comprise about the total of the infor-
nation received.
Germans Claim Pursuit.
Inc Germans claim that they are
pursuing the Russians to the south
and southeast of LODI. Several Amer
lean correspondents were with the Rus
sian army when the battle broke, but
nothing has been heard from them
for several days. Evidently they are
under the hand of strict censorship.
British military experts insist that
of the best material of
the German army has been held in the
western theatre OF the war throughout
the campaign and that the troops op-
posed to the Russians consist prin-
cipally of second line organizations.
