Wives of Naval Officers and Enlisted Men Not
 Wanted on "Other Side"

Base American F1otilla in British Waters. october S0.-(Correspondenc of the Associated Press.(-A order to American naval officers and men not to bring their wives from the United States has just been issued by the com I7andfn~ officer of the Tinted states destroyer flotillas operating in Euro pean waters. It reads:
 "The force commander is of the opinion that it would be very inadvis- able for any officers or men of the naval force in European waters to cause their wives to take passage for Europe"
 Two American naval officers sue ceeded in getting their wives to join them before the order was issued. Both were married in April. The next month their husbands received orders to sail for Europe. One wife came from Phil adelphia and the other from Boston.
 Those responsible for the prohini : tion justify it on the grounds of eff high rank said:
 eve must get the maximum of eff ciency out of our officers and men. They must be unfettere. to go wher- ever they are sent at any time. We cannot have their wives following them around from one base to an- other. It may look hard to the thou sands of young wives of our naval men but they must remember that this is war and that they are better off back home, where they can be of more use to the nation"

AMERICAN SOLDER IN FRANCE FACES
 A FIRING SQUAD
Man Is Executed Following Conviction on Charge of Criminal Assault and
 Murder

Washington, November 17.-An American soldier of General Pershins's forces, found guilty by court-martial of the rape and murder of French woman. has been executed by firing squad. All details of this, the first death penalty imposed since the troops landed in Europe, are being withheld by the war department.
 When a full report has been re- ceived from General Pershing it prob ably will be published, as officials of the department want the world to know how the American army deals with men who commit such crimes. Secretary Baker said today that Gen eral Pershing had full power to carry out the sentence of the court martial without referring the case to the Pres ident.

Tne Americans in danger were Con sressu1au C. C. Dill of Spokane Wash : Congressman Charles 5. Timberlake of Colorado, Congressman John r. Miller Of Seattle. Wash; Congressman Albert Johnson of Washington and former Rep- resentative Stout of Montana, Nobody was hit, but it was one of those peculiar freaks of fortune which soldiers call luck, because the shots came in shower so close to them it seemed almost certain some one must be wounded, although they were exposed only for brief time.
 The other seven members of the party were in another section of the trench and were not disturbed by the fire. Later however, when all the Americans were together the Germans dropped big shell some 10 yards away, seriously en- dangering every one One member, in describing the incident to the correspond ent, later said he and his companions heard the shell tap Coming, it sounded like the roar of an airship, he said.
 Again fortune favored them and no one was injured. The visitors spent the night near the front and rose early this morning for trip to the trenches in the vicinity of Dixmude. The Belgian and GefTnan lines run NlCn1n oU gdTuS or Cdcn other al one point, and it was there that the five men came into danger. At this distance it is quite easy to see any one in the opposite trench who raises his head above the top. Only the usual fir ing was under way when the party reached this place.
 The Americans were having an excel lent view of the panaroma when several of them got into an exposed position and were seen by the Germans. Suddenly the enemy machine guns nearby began a vicious chatter and bullets came whizzing across the narrow strip of No Man $ land at the rate of several hundred q minute. Before the visitors realized the situation, bullets were whining all about them like a storm of hail, and 0trt was being thrown into their faces a some of the steel pellets struck the top of the trench. They all bent down for cover, but all might easily have been caught, since it does not take more than a small fraction of a minute for ma chine fun to account for a number of men, if the shooting is accurate.
 The Americans departed this evening for England. On arriving at the port whence they sailed, they said their trip to the Belgian front had been most sat isfactory. They were especially pleased at the invitation of King Albert to take

against New York Life Insurance
Company, defendant, appellant, the
supreme court of South Carolina has

preme court affirmed the judgment
of the circuit court, and later dismiss
ed the petition of the Company for
a re-hearing. The insured was rep
resented by ] D Gilland, Esq. of the

Messrs Thomas & Lumpkin, of the
Columbia bar, ,and Mr. j H Mcintosh,

WORK AT NEWPORT.

Mrs. French Vanderbilt Is the au-
thority for this statement. She has
written for the October issue Of Har-
per's Bazaar an article on the Red
Cross and other war relief work IN
Newport.
Naturally. with such serious work
on all sides, the character of Newport
has changed completely. And the
cause for this change was the visit
of the 'U-55." The people Of New
port had to house and care for the
victims of this merciless raider of the
seas. They were, however, not pre-
pared for this sort of thing, and on
realizing 1t they built up, without
any loss of time, a very efficient Red
Cross organization. and now every
one is engaged in some kind of war
relief work.
