STRETCHED THE VESSELS

''The German commander made a sketch of the vessels attacked by hm, two drawings of which are enclosed. The pic- ture of the steamer Sussex, two copes of which are also enclosed is reproduced photogra phically from the English paper, the Daily Graphic of the 27th ultimo.
 "A comparison of the sketch and the pciture shows that the craft attacked is not identical with the Sussex; the dif- ference in the position of the stack and shape of the stern is particularly strik- ing.
 NO other attack whatever by German submarines at the time in question for the Sussex upon the route between FolIe- stone and Dieppe occurred. The German government must, therefore, assume that the injury to the Sussex is attributable to another cause that an attack by a German s.1l1fra ri nc

Thrice O. Bride,
And NoW ONLY Is,
w OMld w ed Again

MACON, Ca, April 1S.-Mrs. Fannie
Sheppard, only IS years old has been
married three times and she wants to be
married again but she is halted. And
all on account of those "horrid' d.
vorce courts, the wheels of which re-
fuse to turn East enough legally to sep
arate her from her third husband, c.
s.. Sheppard, a man of so.
When she was but ehirteen-year-old
school girl. Mrs. Sheppard, then Miss
Fannie Walker, daughter of a premi-
nent planter of Jones county, fell in
love-or thought she had fallen in love
with L. NJ. Taylor, 80, of Jones county.
Somehow or other. she says, the love
of the first husband grew cold and, be-
cause of her age, her marriage was an
nulled.
About a year later, February 16,
1912, she married T. W. Blackburn, an
other older man, and moved with him
to Augusta. Hardly before their hon
eymoon was over she sued for divorce,
two months later, and was awarded a
decree in the Richmond superior court.
Free again she returned to Macon,
married Sheppard in March, 1915, but
still failed to find the husband she
could live with till death and other
things"
Just a few weeks ago she filed suit
for divorce. and called recently on her
lawyer Attorney Hubert Rawls. Can I
you hurry it up?" she asked. You
see 1 have met some one [ like mighty
we'll"
The lawyer understood but told her
that she would have to wait the pro-
cess of the courts which, when two
verdicts are rendered, might possibly
last an entire year.

started to address the crowd yesterday
afternoon az the Irish Relief Fund Ra-
zaar in Madison Square Garden and said
she and her friends would give the war
dance which was performed Just before
the battle OF Custer" nobody laughed.
You cant expect the noble red or any OF
his family to stick around the tepee at
night reading the encyclopedia and get
ting the tedious facts OF history straight
ened out.
Just before the war dance she gave
what she called the corn dance. but
which was recognized at once as an Irish
reel and heartily applauded.
The Indians supplied only one part OF
the programme OF entertainment yester-
day afternoon at the bazaar. A band Of
Kilties paraded and other vaudeville
features were offered.
You could take a nance on anything
from a case OF whiskey to an automobile
offered by a German newspaper. or buy
a picture postcard Of the Kaiser to send
TO the folks back at Ballyshannon. You
could spin the wheel OF fortune at the
booth Cf the United German Societies. or
hearken 10 the man with the megaphone
who invited you to take a trip and see
the ships belng blown up by an imita-
ton submarine.
Although they called It the Irish ba-
zaar. 1t had strong Teutonic leanings,
and a prominent German brewer had
furnished a tar with his wares and
promised to turn the proceeds over to
the cause Of the revolutionary party.
Men with gold bands around their
hats gave orders In German and kept the
employees Of the bazaar on tho move,
and German women were among the
most active In selling their goods.
