that, aside from military reasons, to
increase the number Of correspondents
with the troops would do more harm
than good from a news viewpoint by re
ducing the amount Of news each writer
could send by cable.
The sixteen correspondents now in
France. he explained. are utilizing all
cable facilities. The best news from
the soldiers, the Secretary added, will
come in letters to their friends. and
arrangements are being made for facilt-

General Duncan and Major Ming

According TO the French oihcers'
General Duncan was at forward Cd
servation post when the Germans
spottcd il and began pouring In smell;
One fragment hit his helmet, ana
the colonel in charge advised MN tnaU
il would be well 10 move back 10
safer point Of vantage. The American
officer replied that it was his first Dig
show, and he did not purpose to give
up his front row seat.
From another observation point Ma,
ior King paid visits to the hrst-aid
dressing stations under violent BON,
bardmcnt. encouraging the wounded
with words of cheer in American ana
French. That night his dugout was
flooded with poison vapor ron 'he
CONAN gas shells. He awoke in time to
warn his two companions, who got
masks on in time to prevent injury.
The question Of acceptance OF deco
rations by the American officers now
is before the War Department. Major
King was formerly instructor at the
University of Indiana, while General
Duncan was on the General Stan be-
fore the war.

King Balks at State Bride
Alexander of Greece Wants
to Pick His Own Queen

ATHENS, Sept. Is (delayed).-The
prospects Of matrimonial alliance for
King Alexander are being widely dis
cussed and have become an affair Of
state.
Since he assembled the throne and
Greece joined the Entente the view has
been held that the marriage of the young
King with a princess Of one Of the
Entente countries would be more in the
interests Of Greece than private ALI
ance. King Alexander has made IL
known, however, that he did not APP
prove this view, his desire being 70
marry a young Greek woman Of high
character, the daughter Of a court OFF,
cial.
This desire is arousing objections for
reasons of state, while the alliance pro-
posed for such reasons is opposed by
the King. The issue thus remains
undecided.
