THRILLING JOURNEY

Muskogee, July S.-From Lahore,
India, where they went as bride and
greor three years aeo, Mr.. and Mrs
J4forh J. ~ Connel, Jr, have re-
tan.ed to Oklahoma after series Of
experiences as thrilling as ever be-
fell the nero and heroine Of any gtor-
lei romance with them came Mas
tea Joseph j. Mcconnell, the third.
ths.r handsome, sturdy baby son who
wss born in Lahore and who is maxi
ing his first visit TO the United States.
Mrs. Mcconnell was before her
marriage Miss Bess Brewer, Inc
daughter of one OF the most promi-
nent teachers, ministers and mis-
sionaries in Oklahoma and herself
one Of the most popular and best
lnown girls in the state. Her mar
riage to Joseph j. Mcconnell, Jr.,
was the sequel to a pretty romance
Mr. Mcconnell was at that time a Y.
~ G. A. worker Of national reputa-
ton and Immediately after his mar
riage he was sent to Lahore. India to
take charge of the Y. NJ. c. A. work
in the University of India Mr. and
Mrs. Mcconnell returned to America
two weeks ago for the first tine since
their marriage.
Indirectly the sinking of the Lusi-
tania IL responsible for the fact that
Mr. Mcconnell is not at the front
with the armies of the allies in
France and for his return to his home
country with his wife.
During their residence in India |
both Mr. and Mrs. Mcconnell achieV-
ed the difficnlt task of winning the |
full confidence and friendship of the
natives of India and Mr McConnell'sl 4
work among the students and the na-
tive men was so successful that atl
the outbreak of the European war he
was transferred from the university
work to Y. NJ. C. A. work among the !
Indian troops. When the Lancers
from Lahore were ordered to the |
trenches in France Mr.. Mcconnell /
was ordered to join them at the
front as soon as he could make ar
to send his wife and lit
Tie son home to America.
The McConnells left lahore April
lG. Mr. Mcconnell expected to ac-
company his wife and baby to Lon
Ion and from there to start them on

Conveyed by War Vessels.

Mr. and Mrs Mcconnell and the
baby made the trip across the Allan
tic on the steamer Lapland. The
boat was conveyed though the war
zone by two warships. one of which
went ahead of the Lapland while the
other followed; while submarine
kept guard on either side. The few
passengers on board were directed to
keep their life ,preseryers in constant
readiness. Even Joseph j. theAthird'
had his life preseryer, to which 3
fresh bottle of milk was strapped
each day in order that, in case of an
attack, the baby might hare his dinr
ner with him until rescue arrived,
Before the Lapland was cut of the
war zone a heavy fog came up and all1
one day the steamer was forced TO
lrift while her crew and passengers
hourly expected an attack from the
German fleet

The pronounced difference OF opinion
to he found in the street regarding the
comparative merits Of the war stocks
is not the result of ordinary causes.
Some knowledge of the nature OF the
market in the war stocks Is necessary
to understand 1t. The big trading In
the war stocks Is rather concentrated. 1t
is estimated that the majority Of the
business In the leading war stocks il
done by five or six firms. The rest or
the street takes care of the miscellane-
Gus trading in these issues. These firms
handling most of the business shaNe
specialized, each in its wi favorite war
stock or stocks. This Is because the
firms are interested in the market
through large holdings or because their
customers are. These firms have thus
become important factors in the market
for their particular favorites. They
have also a speculative following in each
case.
As u result, the information or opinion
in regard to the movement or prospects
OF the different war stocks is apt TO
vary greatly. according to where II If

ture OF certain stocks. for instance, III
