A Predicament.

IL was the night of nights Isabella
had said yes" Isabellas father had
said yes" and Isabella's young man"
was happy. SO was Isabella.
Minutes licked away as they sat
hand-in-hand, not caring for CONVEX
sation, blissfully content to s.. and
il and sit in each others proximity.
But suddenly Isabella's young man
crew restless. He began to witch and
pull fearsome faces. His facial CON
tortions got worse and worse till at
last Isabella got scared and cried:
"Whnt is II, beloved? Tell your Isa-
bella Are you subject to fitsT'
mo, no, of course not" said the
young man soothingly. MY eyeglasses
are falling off and ! don't want to let
go of your lovely hands"

AT BRITISH PORT.
Bio Army Soon to Follow tho Com
msnder, but Naturally Plans
Are Secret.

Washington, June e.--"Black Jack
Pershing. soldier par excellence and
Innior general of the United States
regular army, is In England. Cable
advice announced his arrival Mt a
British port reached here. With the
sense of qualification which was ex-
pressed by officiadom generally over
his safe arrival came realization
that at last the entire united service
Is in the war
From now on units of every branch
of the service will proceed to France
by selected routes, PerShing'S initial
command will be made up of regulars
and marines. Other divisions, com
prising such additional regulars as can
be spared and selected units of the Ma
tional Guard which saw service on the
Mexican border will take their places
on the line from time TO time.
Latter on these forces will be fol-
lowed by the new army to be made up
of the selectlve conscripted troops, who
wi be taken from the more than ten
million men who registered.
Naturally oil plans for sending the
troops TO France will he shrouded in
absolute secrecy. Secretary of War
Newton d. Baker has pointed out the
danger Of speculation as to who Is to
go. or the way they are TO go. There
viii be no announcement at any time
Of units that are going, although after
certain troops arrive 1t is expected
that the war department will from
time to time authorize announcement
Of their snfe arrival.
