A Midnight Wedding.

Justice of the Peace T. M. Cum.
mngs was called from his bed at IL
o'clock Sunday night to unite in mar.
riage A. D. Hodo and Miss Mary Lee
Wilson, both of whom reside Of Re
form, Ala, and before beginning the
ceremony asked the groom if he was
entering into matrimony for the pur-
pose of escaping military service
Mr.. Hodo replied in the negative, stat
ing that he had been released by the
exemption board in his home county,
and Judge Cummings then proceeded
to perform the ceremony.
The bride was attired in a dress
which reached only couple of inches
below her knees, and was apparently
in her early teens. That there was
parental objections to the marriage
was indicated by the fact that both
young people were anxious to have
the ceremony performed as quickly as
possible and seemed inexpressably
happy whenl they were finally pro.
nounced man and wife. They came
to Columbus in an automobile, ano
returned to Reform Immediately after
the ceremony.

PICTURES OF WAR
AT PRINCESS TODAY
WAR ON THREE FRONTS" WILL
BE SEEN AT PRINCESS THIS
AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT.

What Americans must prepare to
face in taking part in the great world
was is told in the most graphic and
forceful manner possible by the "War
On Three Fronts" pictures to be
shown at the Princess Theatre this
afternoon and tonight.
These films were taken by Capt. F
E, Kleinsehmdt, who was an Alaskan
explorer before he became war cor
respondent carrying movie appara.
tus into the centrifugal centres of
death on three fronts--the Russian,
the Serbian and the Italian, For
two years he and his instrument de-
fled the Grim Reaper with odds SO
overwhelming in favor of the latter
that the miracle of his preservation
confronts you in the record of the
bullet and shrapnel scars with which
he covered.
In the making of these films Capt.
Klenschmidt stood where shrapnel
exploded near enough to deafen him,
or flew through the air, the target
for a hundred ant-aircraft guns; or
sped through the water on frail illaunch'
es, pursued by aeroplanes and war.
ships. To a degree, perhaps never
attained before these pictures are Of
The very essence of the horrible real.
ty of war.
No other war pictures ever shown
we're more worthy of comparison
with these vivid chronicles of death
and destruction. Capt Kleinschmidt
and his camera has written a
more graphic history of the great
war than books can ever give us. II
is not only a privilege to be able to
see the result Of his two years Of
daring service, but it is the duty of
every American who has the interest
of his country at heart to see these
pictures and learn the lesson they i'm.

duced to IS cents to all.

There he made an informal address
in the way of explanation of what
our government was asking of its

what it proposed to do for them and
its soldiery, and the generous treat

and their families, safeguarding
their families against privation on
