THE EUROPEAN WAR
American Soldiers Repulse Foes
Germans Being Thwarted
Allies Augmented

When the Hindenburg army
captured KENNEL Hill, the most
important post of vandage in
Flanders, England practically
conceded English Channel coast
to Germans, but it may be diff
erent. Americans have covered
our army in France with glory
and beaten their enemies in
every attack. Praise and Won
der expressed over heroic and
scientific Fl g h til ng by
our boys is heard everywhere
among allies.
The situation for Allies in
northern France is yet very SER
ious and the result of the next
German drive for railroad GEN.
ters and channel coast anticipat-
with direful uncertaity, notwith-
standing the enormous losses
of Germans. Nearly two mil
lion of our men are said to be
now available. Another peace
move by Germany is said to be-
ing planned and a new appeal
from Pope Benedict looked for
this month. A French warship
rammed and sunk an American
liner Wednesday on our coast
and 67 were lost.

Chapman-Sellenburg

At the parlors of the Paso Del
Norte hotel, Ell Paso, Tex, 7::30
p. m. April rs, George Chapman
of Keytesville and Miss Ethel
Sellenburg of Ell Paso, were uni
ted in marriage the ceremony
said by Rev. DR.. ]. w. Williams
pastor of the First Baptist church
of that city. Immediately after
the ceremony Mr.. and Mrs.
George Chapman departed for
Phoenix. Ariz.. for a brief hon.
eymoon, after which they will
return to Ell Paso and be at home
to friends.
The news reached this city the
next morning after the wedding
of the popular old Keytesville
boy, and much surprise was felt
among his set that the society
lad who had escaped so often
should have been landed in so
short a time in Texas and the
estimate of the young lady who
linked her fortunes with his, for
attractiveness is very high.
George was in business here for
some time but hunting a broad
er field, went to St. Louis and
became a travelling salesman for
Hamilton Brown Shoe Company,
enlisted in the army, trained for
a soldier but on final physical ex-
animation was rejected for act
i've service on account of defec-
tive feet. He was made sanitary
inspector for Camp Baker near
Ell Paso and will be permanent
with that camp, delightfully."-
situated and so near his wifes
home that he counts it stroke
of the best luck.
George Chapman, son of Mr..
and Mrs. Charles A. Chapman,
was born in this city, educated
and reared to manhood here and
is SO we'll known and esteemed
by all that Introductory words
are superfiuous. A favorite in
society and in business circles
and while imbued with natural
git up and git" and in on any
thing of interest in a business
or pleasureable way, he yet was
level headed and dependable un-
less too completely surrounded
by pretty girls, as he usually
was. Mrs. George Chapman is
the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
S. Sellenburg of sos California
Ave, ElPaso, a skilled musician
and a social favorite, and can
count as her friends all those
friends of her husband, all of
whom extend congratulations to
both and wish them a long and
happy life.

A Home Demonstration Agent

Congress made an appropria
ton of $4.5O0,000 for the pur
pose of paying for the service:
of competent women demonstra
tors of home economics in such
communities as would comply
with the requirements made il
order to secure such a demon
strator. The plan will be fully
outlined in any community where
a sufficient number of women
will make it known to Mrs. Lot.
tie M. Pearson, the agent of the
college of agriculture at Colum-
bia who is now in the county
with headquarters at this city.
Mrs. Pearson is authorized to
organize the county for the pur-
poses and will go to any point
in the county when called upon.
The plan in brief is; the govern
ment will pay the salary of a
demonstration to be selected by
the county organization from
among applicants and the en-
ployed will own her own car to
make trips over the county, the
local organization will have TO
local expenses such as for an
office, fuel, stationary. gas etc.
and the organization will have
to enroll as many as $50 women
in the county for a starter. But
hear Mrs. Pearson when she
comes to your neighborhood and
you will understand it and appre-
ciate it all much better than we
can present the important move.
