SIX MONTHS FOR
 GIRL Of l6 WHO
 KILLED HUSBAND
Mrs. Edna Marchant of Kansas Says She Shot to
 Protect Her Health. ss

Independence, Kan, oct. 30.--SiX months in jail for third degree man. slaughter was imposed by a jury upon Edna Marchant, the 16-yearold girl widow whose defense plea for shoot ng her young husband was that she 0i1 it to protect her bodily health. While the jury did not justify her for taking another life for this reason, it is evident from the light sentence, the minimum under the law, that great consideration was given to the girls plea, advanced for the first time it is said, as defense in murder case.
 John 'Marchant. the slain husband, was five years older than his girl wife. When they were married about year ago they were known in their home town as model young couple and both were active in church and Sunday school work. The girl was the daughter of a well-to-do farmer and had many friends and admirers.
 The husband and wife were happy at first. Then young Marchant in herited and obtained possession of a considerable sum of money. Wealth was new tc him and he started spend ing it lavishly. Soon the home town weariel him., There was not enough diversion that could be bought with money. And his wife insisted upon continuing in the quiet and modest life in which she had been reared.
 The big cities attracted Marchant. Leaving his wife plenty of money for support. he would go to Kansas City St. Louis or Chicago and spend weeks and upon returning to his home would boast of tNc wild time one could have with little money. Rc- turning from one of the trips last July. he told tpaf an illness his manner of life had brought upon him.
 His wife heard of it and began to pack her belongings to return to her fathers home. This angered March ant, who, according to her story. went to her, house. and was on the point of attacking her to force her 10 con- tinue to. live with him, when she draw a revolver and shot him. She, sur rendered. to the police and told why she had killed her husband. st. te5

Aeroplane Great For Restoring Shattered
 Nerves of Soldiers

Boulogne, March so-The aero plane as g rest cure is recommended by at least one British soldier as a result of his personal experience.
 He joined a Line regiment in tha early days of the war, and being an excellent shot and a good mechanic. was put in charge of machine gun. He and his gun were left by accident in an isolated trench position when his battalion was withdrawn, and he had continuous spell of forty-three days in the forward trenches, much of the time completely cut off from his army, before he regained his reg iment. By that time he was a phy- ,sical and mental wreck, and he was sent to a hospital to recuperate. When his leave was up, he confided to the officer in charge that his nerve was SO shattered that he simply couldn't bear to go back to the trenches. 'sI can't get the sound of bullets out of my head he declared. you must find something else for me to do for a time. 7
 He himself suggested that he be transferred to the Flying Corps, and inasmuch as he had already had some experience in this line Of work, the transfer was approved. In a few weeks he had qualified as an aviator, and began spending an hour or two aloft daily, The 'scharge of air'' worked just the relief he required. and restored his nerves to their or1- g1na1 firmness

Dispatch Riders of
 Motorcycle Corps
 Show Strain of War

London, March So-.Alnost the only faces with the Army on which the strain of their experience is visi- bly, written are those of the motor cyclist dispatch riders,'' says a letter from the front, the writer adding, ':I should give them all the Victoria. Croes's
 To ride for months at high rate of speed over cobble pavements of an extreme Inevenness is of itself a. physical strain, but this is increased many fold by the responsibilities and dangers which are the daily lot Of the dispatch rider.
 with dry roads and only the ordi- nary peace-time traffic to dispute the right of way occasionally, the motor cycIist can take an ordinary pace with no great strain. But it is quite different when the cobb1es are greas- ed by the oil and slime of months of traffic and weeks of rain and fog; when 8 ten or twelve inch drop into oily mud awaits on either side Of the narrow roadway; when every road is crowded with great motor trucks which claim the road and take it willingly; when orders are-they al- ways are, apparently-to travel not at a lefsurely go-as-you-p1ease, but at the top speed of which the battered machine is capable.
 Add to these little difficulties a, binding rain, a pitch-black night, no lights, a few shell-swept stretches of road, snipers, sentries, obstacles, sheIl-holes, and other disturbing mat ters, and there is the picture of the ordinary life of the dispatch rider. Sideslips and collisions, broken forks and headers into sheil-hoIes, are all in the days work. But what the dispatch rider really objects to, is be- ing shot at by his own sentries. This is by no means exceptional, for the sentry's challenge is quite likely to be drowned by the noise of the en- zine"
 'In the early days" writes one rider, .'the wandering Uhlan was a terror, not because of his so1dierly qualities, but because you were all ways liable to find yourself charg- ing at some crossroads in the dark ness, into his horses body I knock ed over several like that, and I new CT knew how they were going to take 1t. I think they must have generally lost their horse and gun in the dark, for only one of them ever fired a shot, and he did not fire at me-

Alien Sailors Are
 In London in More
 Numbers Than Usual

London. March 3o-There have been more Greek sailors in London in every month since the war began than formerly in a whole year Spanish and Italian sailors have also been un- usually numerous.
 The large number of foreign sail ors from the Mediterranean in vari- ous British ports shows the change in shipping due to the war, for the carrying that formerly went to the Germans is now in the hands of the neutrals. There are plenty of Ger man ships lying up in the southern ports, but they fear to venture out.
 Like the Italian merchant marine, the Greek consists largely of slow steamers bought second hand from the British. These boats come up la den with wines, fruit, marble and the Egyptian cotton.

After 8 Years At Canal, Goethals Is
 Ready To Retire

E Panama, March 30,-When Gov ernor GoethaIs leaves the canal zone he probably will retire from the army and enter civilian life. He has not yet made a public announcement to this effect but has frequently voiced his desire; probably after September next, to lead a quiet life and do only such work as he wishes.
 General Goethals has not decided upon the place where he will make his home but it is generally under stood here that he will reside in New York where he will become a. con sulting engineer. It has been said that he probably will form a part nership with s. v. Williamson who was formerly tht engineer in charge of the Pacific Division of the Pana- ma Canal construction work. MT. W1lliamson recently made a. brief Visit to the Isthmus and it is be- 1ieved that the partnership was then discussed.
 Governor GoethaIs, having an nounced his early retirement from ac- tive lalbors on the Panama Canal, is manifesting an tmpatience to depart from the 1sthmus. He feels he has done his duty by his country and the army in spending eight strenuous Years here.

ANCIENT FORTRESS WILL BE RESTORED
 TO GUARD CANAL
U. S. Authorities Plan Soon
 to Have Old Stronghold Effective Again.

Panama, March 30-Fort San Lorenzo, an ancient fortress which stands on a high bluff at the en- trance to the harbor at the mouth of the Chagres River. probably will again play a part in the defense of the Isthmus. Canal authorities are trying to obtain from Panama the right to re-establish the old fortress, rebuilding it and placing therein a number of modern and high-power coast defense guns.
 The site of the ancient fortressS is important because it stands at the en- trance of a deep-water way from the Caribbean Sea to the Gatun locks, dam and spiI1way. It is declared that the Chagres river is easily navigable for small torpedo boats and subma- rines. The only obstacle is a bar at the mouth of the river. however this may be passed at high tide.
 The Castle of San Lorenzo was in 1897 and for many years was con sidered practically inpregnabIe. John Morgan and his Buccaneers, however, almost destroyed the fortress and the English under Admiral Vernor cap tured 1t in 1740 blew the fort sky ward. Since then it has been an his toric ruin. 1sw
 The American government has long regarded the mouth of the Chagres liver as an important point in the coast defenses of the Panama Canal, of the locks, dam and spi1lway at Ga tun through the stream. The near est Notifications of any strength and importance are now at Toro Point near Colon which is about 8 miles east of San Lorenzo.

ENGLAND MAY STOP SALE OF ALL LIQUOR
Lloyd George sympathizes With the Views of a Depu7
 tation of Shipbuilders.

London, March 3O.-t'We are fighting Germany, Austria, and drink, and, so far as can see, the greatest of these three deadly foes is drink,,'' said David Lloyd George. the Chancellor of the Exchequer, replying yesterday to a deputation of the Shipbuflding Elm ployers Federation, the members of which were unanimous in urging that, in order to meet the national require ments at the present time, there should be a total prohibition during the pe- riod of the war of the sale of intoxi- eating liquors
 This should apply, it was declared, not only to public houses, Osaloons). but also to private clubs, so as to op- crate equally with all classes of the community.
 It was stated by the deputation that, despite the fact that work was being carried on night and day, seven days of the week, the total working time on the average in nearly all the British Ishipyards was actually less than be- fore the war, and the average produc- tiveness had decreased. There were many men doing splendid and stren- uous work, probably as good as the men in the trenches, but many did not even approximate full time, thus dis astrously reducing the average. {. | It was stated that notwithstanding
 
 which they were allowed to keep open, the receipts of the public houses in the neighborhood of the shipyards had greatly increased, in some cases 40 per cent. As an instance of one among many similar cases, that of a battle [sship coming in for immediate repairs was Cited. She was delayed whole day through the absence of riveters, who were drinking and carousing. E In one yard the riveters have been working on the average only 40 hours a week, and in another yard only S6 hours.
 In conclusion, the deputation, which inluded representatives of the leading shipbuilders of the country, drew at tention to the example set by France and Russia and urged upon the Chan ce1Ior of the Exchequer the need of drastic and immediate action.
 The chancellor, in the course of his reply, said the reason why the govern ment had not heretofore taken mora dractic action regarding the liquor question was because it needed to be assured that it was not going adverse to public sentiment-otherWise more harm would be done than good. The government must feel that it had every class in the community behind l it when taking action which inter fered severely with individual fiber l ties. But, MT. Lloyd George said, Ahe was sure that the country was begin ming to realize the gravity of he sit uation.
