60 years old, came to Sioux City to-
day to be married, according to pale
face" custom.

lovers to have the matrimonial knot
to bring along an interpreter. Not
until they had waited at the court
house for several hours were the two
welded by Justice of the Peace ID.
C. Browning. A Sioux City interpre-
ter came to their rescue.
Thick, bright, gray hair attracted
the attention of witnesses to the GER
emony. Both the bride and groom
seemed sturdy and in the best of
health.
Veteran of many Indian wars and
one of the first TO enlist in the civil
war, the groom in broken English
declared that he first met his wife
when they attended an indian cele-
bration on the old Winnebago reser-
walton. Love developed and they
were welded according to Indian
custom.
Years passed and both were very
happy, the groom said. Then the
two learned of the pale face" we'd
ding ceremony. They decided to be
remarked by pale faces"

WAR SUMMARY
PROGRESS OF CONDITIONS AS
COMPILED BY THE ASSO-
GATED PRESS.

New York, April Especial: The
whole of Ireland is under martial law
as a result of the attempted revolu-
ton in Dublin. The disaffection has
spread to points in the west and
south of Ireland. but here. as in Dub
lin, strong military activities are un-
der way TO put down the movement.
The submarine issue between the
United States and Germany is still
being considered by the German gov
eminent. James w. Gerard, the
American ambassador to Germany, is
to visit Emperor William at army
headquarters and discuss the situa-
ton with him.
The sectors of Avocourts Esnes
and Cumieres, northwest of Verdun,
are still under the same heavy bonn
bardment that has been in progress
for several days. No infantry attacks
by the Germans have been attempted
here, according to the Paris official
communication. but an attempt at an
advance probably is imminent. as
these artillery preparations usually
precede an attack.
The Germans to the northwest OF
Verdun, to the front of Haudremont
and the Thiaumont farm and be-
tween Douaumont and Vaux. essayed
attacks following violent lombard
ments. but the French curtain of fire
held them in their trenches.
Artillery engagements have featur-
ed the fighting on the other parts of
the line in France and Belgium, al
though the French aircraft have car
ried out bombing operations against
numerous German positions.
The German guns are keeping up
their heavy bombardment Of the Rus
sian position at the Ikskull bridge
head. Farther south the Teutons
launched an infantry attack near Ba-
..ranovichi, but were repulsed. Still
farther south the Russians have cap
tured the village of Chromiakoua.
along the Rovno-Kovel railway.
In Asia Minor. TO the south of Bit
lis. the Russians have dislodged the
Turks from all their positions in the
mountains. says the Petrograd COM
munication.
