covered that she had been divorced quite

the information.

was granted" stubbendorf explained.

youth asked. But Cupid" parted the
query and said he must know the date OF
the decree.

ago to make another wedding lawful

 In this connection General Scully said:
 Major Steiner telephoned me Saturday morning that he has authorized the or ganiZation of two troops here, one of which will be commanded by me. This troop will be organized at a meeting to be held Monday night at the city hall in Woodlawn.

Montgomery, August -(Special)-A dramatic incident occurred in Battery c today when First Lieutenant Henry Por- ter of Porter Clothing company, Bir- mingham, resigned and left for Birming- ham. He was compelled to surrender his military service and return to his com mercial pursuits. Before leaving camp he delivered the boys heart to heart talk and shook hands with each one. They grasped him affectionately in their arms and raising him aloft gave three cheers after which they placed him gent ly in an automobile which whisked away to the station.
 While no official announcement had been made, it is presumed that other lieutenants in the battery will be ad- vanced as a result of the vacancy and that Second Lieutenant John Fray will succeed Lieutenant Porter.
