The troops landed amid the fran

Enthusiasm rose to fever pitch

MAJ. T. X. JR., AND CAPT. AR.
CHE TO BE IN PERSHING'S
HEADQUARTERS.
TWO OTHERS TO FOLLOW
Quentin i'm Flying COMPASSIONATE
Law of Col. T. R.WilI
Also Go.

New York, June 26.-Col. Theo-
dore Roosevelt, in a speech delivered
in the interest of the Red Cross at
Oyster Bay, made public the fact
that two of his sons had already gone
to France, and that "the others are
to follow" The two who have gone
are Maj. Theodore Roosevelt, Jr.,
and Capt. Archie Roosevelt, both of
whom, II is understood, will be at
tached to Gen. Pershing's headquar-
tres. The announcement that they
had been detailed to special duty was
recently made in an army order.
This is the first installment of the
Colonel's famous pledge that he and
his four sons and at least one of his
sons-in-law would be ready to join
the country's forces whenever the oc-
casion arose. The other sons are al
ready in the service, and DR.. Richard
Derby, the Colonel's son-in-law, is a
Major in the army reserve Medical
Corps.
Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., and Ar
chic Roosevelt were both among the
members of the original Plattsburg
training camp in 1915, and Theo-
dore was one of the group of Harvard
men from whose decision, on the day
after the Lusitania was sunk, that
would have to be done to
help get the country into a state of
better preparedness for war, the
Plattsburga movement originated.
Both Were In Militia.
Both of them have besides been
of militia organization,
Theodore having held the post of
Major in the Connecticut Guard, and
Archie having served in the naval
militia of Massachusetts. Theodore
Roosevelt, Jr., began his personal ex-
perience of military affairs on a bit
terly cold afternoon in April, 1908,
when he stole away from the White
House for long trip in an army bal
loon.
A second trip in the air convinced
him that his particular sphere was

filed an application for membership

2-The reapportionment cannot
be made within so days of the Pri-
mary election at which Candidates
for Magistrate are chosen.
3-The report of the Commission
ers, Stevens and Render is void be-
cause it attempts to abolish one of
the now existing districts.
4-The report of the Commission
ers, Stevens and Render, is void be-
cause 1t does not comply with the
Statute in laying off the boundaries
of the various districts proposed.
5-That the districts as proposed
by the Commissioners, Stevens and
Render, are unequal in area and pop
ulation and the division unfair to the
people residing in the respective dis
tricts.
C-That the defendant, Jno. B.

Court, acted arbitrarily and had made
up his mind in advance of the trial
as to what his judgment would be;
that his judgment was not supported
by the evidence and that he heard
no evidence at all on the part of the
petitioners.
On the hearing last Tuesday var
ious witnesses testified to the arbit-
rary ruling of Judge Wilson; that
the Districts as proposed by the Com
Stevens and Render, are
unequal in area and population and
that there is no necessity for re-
apportionment of Ohio County into
Districts and that the
Districts as now composed
are more equal in population and
area and more convenient to the peo-
pie residing in the various districts.

BRIDE BEHIND;
PASTOR Leaves
WIFE DISCOVERS NOTE ONLY
UPON HER RETURN FROM
VISIT.
HAD CHANGED FAITH
Christian Minister Recently a Bap.
fist, Now On Way to
Europe.

Princeton, KY, June 26.-The
Rev. E. G. Craven, who has been pas
tor of the Christian church here
since early in February, is missing,
and his bride of a few months is
much distressed over his disappear
ance. In seven-passenger touring
car, the property of his wife, he left
here last Thursday and has not been
heard from since. His wife, who was
a wealthy widow of Eminence, KY,
when he married her, and her little
daughter, were visiting in Eminence
at the time of the disappearance, and
was not aware that her husband had
left Princeton until, upon her return,
she found note in which he in
formed her that when she reached
home he would be aboard a vessel en-
route to Europe.
Little was known of the Rev. Mr..
Craven before his arrival here to take
charge of the Christian church other
than that he had served as pastor Of
the Baptist church at Eminence, KY,
where he met the widow, who later
became his bride. He went to EN-
inence from Louisville, where he
spent a few weeks at the Southern
Baptist Theological Seminary. After
occupying the Baptist pulpit at En-
inence several weeks he surprised his
congregation one prayer-meeting
night by announcing that he could
no longer serve them as pastor for
the reason that he was no longer
believer in the Baptist doctrine.
RenOunces Baptist Faith.
On the following Sunday night the
Rev. Mr.. Craven united with the
Christian church, of which the Rev.
w. d. Eldred is pastor, at Eminence,
and week later preached for Mr..
Eldred in the latter's absence.
Through the Rev. Mr.. Eldred, Mr..
Craven met the Rev. H. w. Elliot,
Kentucky State evangelist of the
Christian church, and it was through
Mr.. Elliot that the Rev. Mr.. Craven
became pastor of the Christian chur-
CHI here.
Mrs. Craven, before her marriage
a few months ago, was Mrs. Kate
Caldwell, widow of c. A. Caldwell,
who was wealthy merchant of
Eminence. She became acquainted
with the Rev. Mr.. Craven just six
weeks before their marriage, which
took place at Hotel Henry Waiter
son in Louisville, zSTyE 'wSSJ
Mrs. Craven probably will remain
here until she disposes of the hand
some furnishings with which she
the new home of herself
and husband and little daughter,
after which it is expected that she
will return to her old home in or
near Eminence.
During his brief stay here, the
Rev. Mr.. Craven became well liked
He told several persons here that he
at one time was surgeon in the
British army. He is about 40 years
old and posses a pleasant address.

HARTFORD OHIO COUNTY, KY, FRIDAY, JUNE %, 1917.

him his military aide with the guard
rank of Major. He held that post
during the time he was working in
Connecticut, but resigned when he
returned to this city. In 1910 young
Theodore, then 23 years old, was
married to Miss Eleanor B. Alexan-
der, and the marriage in the Fifth
avenue Presbyterian church had a
smack of the army to it, for conspi-
cuous among the guests were many
Rough Riders, some in their old toys.
When the Plattsburg camp was
opened last year Theodore was among
the first to win admittance. Based
partly on what he learned by diligent
work there and on what he had pick
ed up in more or less close connec-
ton with the army, he took an exam
ination for Major in the Reserve Off
cres' Corps. On February 6 of this
year President Wilson signed his
commission as Major of Infantry.
He has spoken several times in
churches here and at Oyster Bay on
preparedness, and always emphasize
ed the need of the country for red
blooded men who were awake to OBJ
legation as regards national service"
Archie Liked the Big Guns.
Archie, the third son of the Colon
ell, was noted while at the White
House for his chuYminess with the
army officers detailed at the Execu-
tive Mansion. Yet when he reached
the proper age he slipped over to
Boston from Harvard and enrolled
in the Naval Militia, where, as he ex-
pressed it, he'd get chance back of
the big guns. When, however, his
brother went to Plattsburg, Archie
decided to go along. Though he com.
pleted the course, he retained his
in the naval service, and
on April IL of this year, when it was
reported that the Massachusetts, mill
tiamen were to be called out, Boston
was surprised by the announcement
that young Archie" was to wed Miss
Grace Lockwood, daughter of Mr.,
and Mrs. Thomas st. John Lockwood
of that city. The day following,
announced that young
Roosevelt had successfully passed
his examination for a Second Lieut.
enancy in the Infantry Reserve.
Three days later Miss Lockwood and
he were married in Emanuel church
in Boston.
1t was learned that the aviator
who circled over Oyster Bay on Sat-
urday and made a series of maneu-
vers over Sycamore Hill was Quen-
tin Roosevelt, the youngest son of
Col. Roosevelt, who is in training at
Mineola for the aviation service. AL
though he has been in training only
about two months, Mr.. Roosevelt has
shown great aptitude as a flier. Yes
terday was his first venture as far
from Hampstead Plains as Oyster
Bay.

Washington. No formal announce

that Mai. Gen. Sibert, one of the

been given command of the first force
sent abroad, under Gen. Pershing as
commander in chief of the expedition.
One thing stands out sharply, des-
pite the fact that the size of the
task that has been accomplished is
not fully revealed as yet This is
that the American enterprise has set
a new record for the transportation
of troops.
Considering the distance to be COW

seas that were unhampered by sub
marines, mines or other obstacles.

Gen. Pershing and his staff have |

and submarine dangers that faced
them, the plans of the Army General

Immediately an expenditionary force

Mexican border. Gen. Pershipg him-

vessels that carried the troops were
scattered on their usual routes. Army
reserve stores were still depleted from
the border mobilization. Regiments
were below war strength.
That was the condition when Pres

be answered and force of regulars
