Dan Cupid's darts brought two
strange victims to the marriage license
bureau. yesterday, when George Et-
finger, white, aged 81, and Emma
Terry, colored, age unknown, applied
for certificate so tnat they could
be happily wed.
Ettinger explained that he was a
veteran of TIE Civil War and was get
ting a pension. The woman could not
remember her age. Recorder James
Il. Lentz investigated and learned from
the Directors of the Poor that Etting-

him, let alone providing for wife.
Both appeared to be greatly disap-
pointed when told they could not get
a license.

Type of American
Most Able Soldier

London, Feb. s. - Commander
Josiah Wedgewood. member of Par
lament, recently returned from the
United States, who has fought in the
war from Antwerp to East Africa, and
bears a wound from Gallipoli, would
welcome the United States in a peace
league.
To his fellow countrymen and
others who argue that America has
no army or commander, Wedgewood
points to the record of the colonials
in the present war.
This war; he says, has made
America incredibly powerful, not alone
because of added wealth and popula-
ton, but because the unframed, un-
military American type makes the
best soldier in the world.

Entire U-Boat Warfare
Problem Is Challenged
in Note From Spain

Madrid, Feb. 8. - Spain, in her
reply to Germany's newest declaration
of sea terrorism, challenges the entire
U-boat policy of the Berlin authori-
ties Tie governments note rests,
basically. upon the same foundations
as those President Wilson has urged
since the war began - international
law, respect for neutral rights and
preservation of human life.
This governments statement, which
was handed to the German Ambassa-
dor yesterday, is firm and dignified
protest against the creation of the
new war zone. 1t declares that Ger
many's decision to close completely
certain sea routes is outside the legal
principles of international life.

Albert Stricken of Princeton town, a
farmer of German descent, and who,
by the way, has few equals as a corn
grower, cut the following clipping
from a paper published in. his former
home town, Sioux City, Iowa. He re-
quested the Union to copy it, saying
that it expressed his sentiments pre-
| cisely.
"Sioux City, Iowa, April 5, 1917.

articles in the Journal about Germans

American by heart and hand. will

poor, like the most Of my countrymen
who came to the good old United
States of America to get away from
oppression, and it was hard matter
to keep the wolf away from the door
at times. When 1 landed in this coun-
try I secured work at once and re-
ceived more money for one month";
work than I got in Germany for one
years work. I sent for my folks and
I am proud that they are all true

needed. -.......

All he did was to start this cruel war
and starve all our people there, and

Baccalaureate Exercises.

The baccalureate sermon to the
graduating class of 1917 of the Prince
ton high school was delivered at the
Armory Sunday evening by Rev. Err
nest H. Peatfeld of the Congregational
church, and the spacious auditorium
Of that building was crowded.
The exercises opened with a song
and then Mrs. Geo. Ross favored those
present with a vocal solo. A vocal
duet by Mrs. J. F. Peterson and Miss
Rita Byers was we'll received, and
then Rev. Jas. A. Geer of the M. E.
church pronounced the invocation.
After another song Rev. Peatfeld de-
livered the sermon, taking for his sub
ject, Righteousness Essential to Sue
cess" It was an inspiring message,
and all who heard it profted thereby.
Among other things Rev. Peatfeld
said:
"From the earliest days of history
down to the present time, from the
period when the mighty statesman
Moses, and the invincible soldier
Joshua, demanded of the people
of Israel that they live in, obedi-
ence before God, from then all
down the centuries it has ever been
true that righteousness is essential
for success. This has been so first OF
all from the standpoint of the nations
of the world, and our own national ex-
perience very forcefully illustrates
this principle. Who would have
thought that that tiny boat load Of
Pilgrims sailing in the Mayfowe1
would have laid the foundations of a
nation that has developed into the
greatest people on earth? They were
so insignificant, mostly poor and of
very little account. And as they sailed
from the old land to face the unknown
terrors of the dread Atlantic, I can
we'll imagine how Europe concluded
that they were bunch of religious
fanatics who were then sailing away
to death and oblivion. True they were
insignificant as the world estimates
