Prof. Atlas Married?
 That s What They Say

Prof. James Atlas. one.tiIne wres- ting champion. strong man, and thea trieal prom oter. has taken unto him self wtfe-acfording to rumors that have gained widespread circulation.
 Prof. Atlas got a marriage license last week at the town clerks office. The identity of the bride is concealed. Town clerk office employees have the right to conceal such records if they wish. They say so, themselves. But if the license goes through with the ceremony, the officiating clergyman or other parsonage who ties, the knot must make the record public within 30 days. So, perhaps, the commun- ity must wait a. month before getting all the graphic details.
 Last Friday when things were quiet at the Hotel Atlas, the professor clear ed a private dining room, and escorted an attractive young woman, and a strange man into the room. Just before this, he had procured a mar riage license What happened is only to be conjectured. But that the professor had become a benedict was the report that spread, first through the hotel, and today through the town.
 But the professor won't tell any thing about it. He's big strong fellow, yet, and reporters are a little tinid about pressing him too closely for details.

War Widows Want
 Husbands Quickly

Berlin. June 29.-The war has giv- en a sudden and unprecedented inn petus to the marriage brokerage'' game, and advertisements for hus- bands-war invalids' in many cases were never so plentiful as at present. Many women exhibit an irrepressib1e desire to get married right away and appear to be quite unconcerned about the kind of a husband they got.
 Individual women who want to get married at any cost are not the only ones, however, who. have taken ad- vantage of the unusual situation. The more or less shady matrimonial agen- cies are making hay while the sun shines, and apparently stop at noth- ing in order to turn a questionable pfennig.
 Thus many have, in some manner, procured the names and addresses of women whose husbands have been killed at the front, and intrude upon their grief with brazen offers of sec ond husbands. The men for the most part are mere adventurers, but in a few eases are invalided soldiers, eith- CT anxious for 8 home or beguiled iE- to letting their name be used.

Washington, June 29.-In line with it's policy to prevent, if possible fur ther revolutionary movem ents- in Mexico or at least the setting on foot of any such expenditions on Ameri- can soil, the American government purposes to prosecute vigorously vio- 1ations of neutrality regardless of the prominence of the individuals or their affiliations.
 The arrest of Generals Victoriano Huertas and Pascuale Orozco at Ell Paso. would appear to be part of this general policy. It is said the dpeart- ment of Justice was in possession of some evidence which seemed to connect General Angeles, Villas rigflt-hand man, with a plot in which citizens of one of the European bel ligerent powers are involved. Angeles it was said, was to call at the state department today to deny that he was in any way involved.
 General Angeles and L1orente went to the war department and entered conversation with the chief of staff. In view of LIorente's announcement that the mission Angeles was a military one and Geeral Scott's thor ough familiarity with Mexican affairs which includes an intimate acquain- tance with Villa, the conference at tracted no little attention

GAN TELL SORT OF SHELL FROM
 NOISE IN AIR
Artillery Ear" Is One of the Latest Products of
 European War.

Berlin, June 29.-The war has de- ve1oped what might be termed an far ti1lery ear'' especially among the sol diers in this branch of the service, which enables them to judge accu- rately what kind of a, shell is being fired at them. and whether or not it is aimed at their battery or at some other spot. Many lives have been saved by this gradually developed oral aIertness.
 The artil1erist, explains an officer who has been in the field for months, is able almost instinctiveIy to tell whether a, shell is headed for his bat tery or not. The men have learned to pay not the slightest attention to @ shot that gives off the peculiar sound indicating that it is aimed at some other battery or position.
 Bcause of the confusing noise of the artillertst's own battery, the squad tending it usually is divided into two groups, one of which listens for the shells of the opponents, and gives the warning to dive for the shelters back of the guns. The men learn to talk with pauses between each word, list ching meantime for thestel1-tale whis- tie of the dangerous shell.
 Only in the case of the small field cannon, fired at a. range of, say 2,000 yards, is it impossible to hear the shell III L11110 lO O1NS the security or the she1tering t'understand.'' Those shells have reached their mark about as soon as the sound of their dis charge. t
 The 12-centimeter hat-trajectory guns on the other hand gives just enough warning so that the men can make one dive. There isn't one frac- tion of a second to be wasted, but by quick action the arti1lerfst can save himself
 The big howitzers, however, give nearly half a minutes warning. As the officer puts it, one can hear the shells from these guns, and still cut off a slice of wurst and take a swallow from ones field bottle before seek ing shelter The shelter in this case must be a genuine shelter, consisting of about three layers of heavy wood, and two yards of earth and stone, Else the shelter and aG-tiI1erists are gone

Russian Holy Synod
 To Allow Marriage
 Of Leper To Another

Petrograd, June 2s-The Russian Medical Council has informed the Holy Synod that there is no objection to lepers marrying 1epers, although the union of a leper to a healthy mate should not be allowed. This is the councils answer to the question raised by the Russian church.
 The influence of the parents on their offspring in the spread of the disease is considered weak, since the percentage of infant 1eprosy is very small, only about five per cent Fer ti1ity also decreases among lepers as the disease advances. Leprosy is not believed to be a, hereditary disease, but one due to contact For a Ieprous mother to part with her infant is pain full, although necessary is the chf1d is to be saved. But marriage brings at least some happiness into the tragedy of disease stricken lives

a,., and 4ha ouean-

The quaintness Of many provisions of British law is curiously illustrated in the status of the queen of England So far as her maJesty's private busi- ness is concerned, she is not regarded by the laws and customs of England as a married woman at all. She is the only woman in Great Britain who does not come within the scope of the mar ried woInan's property act The idea in all this is that affairs of state con sume all the time of the king, and therefore no responsibility for the queens private business rests upon him If the queen contracted debts in her husbands name he would not be responsible for them, as any other hus- band in the United Kingdom would. The king. cannot be sued for debt, but the queen can be. Should the king die some authorities hold that the queen could not marry again. in case she wished to, without the license of the kings successor.-New York Tribune.

FRENCH MAIL BUSINESS
 CONTINUES TO BE HEAVY

Paris, June 29.-War has had con- trary effects on the postal service of France Distractions to commerce and industry resulted in a great de- crease in business correspondence but this is more than compensated by the increase in personal letters be- tween members of dispersed families and the soldiers and their relatives In a single day the postal depart ment handled IA million letters, 7so thousand registered letters and pack ages, 135 thousand newspapers and 57 thousand postal orders. The volume of matter has steadily in creased since December.
 But the moratorium, the closing of number of financial establishm hments and the suppression of discount has also turned a great flood of co1Iec- ton business to the postal depart ment.
 Naturally, dead letters have also largely increased, partly through the fmpossibility of delivering the letters or packages to their destination, but largely on account of defective ad- dresses. Between December 1914, and May 9th last eight and a half million letters and nearly sixty thou sand packages were thrown into the refuse heap. Among the letters that have gone to the Dead Letter Of flee" during that time were found bank bills to the amount of 36e 900 francs of which the department has been able to return to it's owners only about 30.000.
