HENDRIX HOOK

A marriage of unusual interest IN
Lexington county took place at He
bron church about miles from New
Brookland Thursday evening March
7, at o'clock, when Miss Sarah Leila
Hendrix and Mr.. Simon Belton Hook
were united in holy matrimony. The
church was simply but effectively
decorated. The vows were spoken
before an altar draped in American
flags and decorted in the national
colors.
Beautiful music was rendered on
the organ by Mrs. W. W. Caughman.
The impressive ring ceremony of the
Methodist church was read by Rev.
Foster Speer, pastor of the bride.
Little Miss Hook, a niece of the
groom, was the dainty and lovely lit
tie ring bearer.
The bride is the daughter of Mr.
John w. Hendrix and is young lady
of many charms and was universal
favorite in her community. Mr.. Hook
until recently, was a planter and mer-
ch- Mt of near New Brookland, but
was drafted in the last call and is
now located at Camp Jackson. He
is young man of many strong traits
of character and is held in high
esteem by all his acquaintance. The
best wishes of The Dispatch-News
and their numerous friends go with
this happy young couple.

TEACHERS "MORAL CODE"
FIGURE IN HER TRIAL
Forecast by Attorneys in Case of
Miss Grace Lusk, Charged With
Death of Mrs. Roberts.

WAUKESHA. Wis. May ia battle
OF psychologists and alienists centerine
about moral code devised by a country
school teacher was forecast by attorneys
in the case at the opening today Of the
trial OF Miss Grace Lusk, charged with
Staying Mrs. Mary Newman Roberts, wife
Of DR.. David Roberts, former state vet
erinarian.
The moral code compiled from letters
Miss Lusk wrote to Mrs Roberts and
which were admitted by her at the time
of the inquest, will be submitted to a
jury composed mostly of farmers, it was
indicated from the makeup of the first
venire of 1876 men. In these letters Miss
Lusk, who at the time of the tragedy
was q school teacher. wrote:
The passing OF a husbands affection
.. for his wife is a sufficient annulment oj
any marriage vow.
"So-called respectable women isnore
the loss of a husbands love to live a life
Of ease.
Those who truly love must be brave
enough to stand together before a cold
world which is bitter against anything il
cannot understand.
Hiding a real love is the onlv sin-that
is why feel have sinned."
The trial marks the last chapter in a
tragic triangle. After a long friendship
between Miss Lusk and DR.. Roberts. the
school teacher pleaded with Mrs. Roberts
to give up her husband, and Mrs. Roberts
refused. The shooting, which occurred
almost year ago, followed.

AUSTRIAN OUTRAGES ON
PRISONERS UNSURPASSED
Seem to Be Trying to Guido Accom-
plices in Cruelty and Feroc-
ity Toward Italians.

Italian prisoners in Austria are sub
jected to horrible outrages. dispatch
to the Italian embassy from Rome to-
day says.
"Never in the history of the civilized
world have such outrages been regis
tered it says. "The whole thing
seems to be a systematic effort on the
part of Austria to destroy the manhood
of Italy. Austria is endeavoring in
every possible way to surpass in cruel
ty and ferocity all of her accomplices."
The dispatch says Italian prisoners
have been stripped and left without
food or care If wounded. Most of them
die of hunger and Of plague. Tuber-
culosis is raging and thousands of con-
sumptives fill the concentration camps.
When their condition becomes desperate
they are returned to Italy in exchange
for Austrian prisoners whose condition
in Italian camps has improved. In the
last 800 prisoners sent back to italy
from Austria all were suffering from
tuberculosis in a very advanced stage.

So Declares French Minister

By the Associated Press.
PARIS, Saturday, May 1.-The effec-
tfveness Of the German submarine
campaign is declining. The German
government is aware of this fact, de-
clared Georges Leygues, minister of
marine, before the naval committee of
the chamber of deputies today. but has
made the greatest efforts to conceal it,
He said the situation was most favor
able and that the sinking of subma-
rines in the first three months of 1918
through allied measures was greater
than the number built by the enemy.
Minister Leygues referred to the
statement made in the reichstag on
April II by Vice Admiral Won Cape!le
German minister of marine. in which
he said 100000 tons of allied shipping
were sunk monthly. This figure, the
minister said, was incorrect. 1t was
reached and passed in April. May and
June of 1917. In July it declined and
in November it fell below 100000, and
since has diminished continuously.
The minister gave the following COM
parative table of the tonnage claimed
to have been destroyed by Germany
and the tonnage actually lost in the
past five months.

FRANCE, Saturday. May 11.-In the
Luneville sector our patrols early this
morning established the fact that the
hamlet of Ancerviller has been aban-
doned by the enemy. The Germans
had not even attempted to occupy shell
holes in the salient. which recently was
torn up by our artillery. Quiet prevails
today on all fronts in which there are
Americans, according to reports. Poor
visibility prevented extended aerial activ-
iity.
