81 OFFICERS ARE
RETIRED FROM
CAMP HANCOCK
Pennsylvania Guard Men Are
Replaced After Hard
Physical Tests

Camp Hancock. Augusta, Ca, Jan.
2i.-Farewells and preparation for
leaving featured the activities of the
thirty-one officers of the Twenty
eighth division, who either resigned
or were discharged yesterday. Many
of the officers had much paper work
to do in handing over their affairs
to their successors.
There was much sentiment in the
breaking of ties between the officers
and their friends and their old or
carnations. Surprise is express
ed in the discharge of Colonel
Ezra H. Ripple, former commander
of the Thirteenth Pennsylvania In
fantry, who is a fine physical speci-
men. Colonel Ripple is 3S years old.
He will leave for his home in Scran-
ton. Pa. on Tuesday.
Lieutenant Colonel Edmund II. f.
Conrad, formerly of the Thirteenth
regiment, will leave with Colonel
Ripple. This is the second time for
them to leave in going out of the
service, for it was here in 1898 that
both were mustered out in the Span
ish-American war.
Lieutenant Colonel Marshall L.
Case, formerly of the Fourth Penn
sylvania infantry, will leave here
TUESDAY. Major JdHleS Il. MOOIe,
formerly of the First Pennsylvania
Cavalry. already has left. Major
Samuel II. Heller, of the Fourth in
fantry, of Lancaster, Pa, will leave
Tuesday. The other retired officers
will leave on either Tuesday or
Wednesday.
Lieutenant Colonel Arthur S. Fritz
niger. of Philadelphia, acting conf
mander of the One Hundred and
Ninth infantry, was to-day relieved
of his command and superseded by
Lieutenant Colonel Wallace w. Fet-
ger. of Milton, Pa, formerly of the
First Pennsylvania cavalry. Colonel
Fritzinger now is attached to the
One Hundred and Third engineers.
The physical examination given
the retiring officers, it is said, was
very rigid. One of the features of
the test was that they were requir-
ed to hop on first one foot and then
on the other foot fifty times, after
which an examination of their heart
was taken.

War Marriages Should
Be Encouraged, Says
DR.. Clara McNaughton

In my opinion and in that of all
tne French with whom l have asso-
Grated during my three years work
IN Parls, the Americans are doing
wrong IN their tacit disbursement
OF war marriages." said DIR. Clara
NHlacNaushton, in an address to the
National League of American PEN
women in Washington.
Ihe experience of the French is
that the war bride is an immense
factor in the determination of the
people and their confidence of ulti
mate victory. The married man
nights better because his stake in
the struggle is greater. He is more
hopelul, and when depressed. more
quickly gets back to normal. The
constant thought of one who lives

For the woman the war mar

weigh so heavily upon the unmar-

While ill-considered and hasty
war marriages are not to be defend
ed on any ground, the marriage of
those whose acquaintance is of long
standing and whose affections are
ilrIniy ilNed, should not, in my judg-
ment, be postponed. That we have
so generally urged their postpone
ment is part of the American idea
that women should be shielded as
iaf as possible from the buffets of
life. The French are taking the
view that the woman has as much
right to risk her all for her country
as the man-soldier has.
If we are to have a long war.
such marriages will mean an in
crease in population of which we
will stand greatly in need"
