CUPID AND MEASLES IN
HOT RACE IN COMPANY c
Thomas Mou, Formerly of Philadel-
phia, Wins Bride After Two In
terruptions to Ceremony.

Brig. Gen. Nicholson played the part
of Cupid in a romance that eliminated
in a happy marriage.
Thomas Mou. formerly of Philadel-
phia and now member of Company G,
314th Regiment, had made every az
rangement to marry Miss Ethel Nathie-
son. 2S33 North Judson street, Phila-
delphia, on Thanksgiving day.
An unforeseen event occurred, how
ever. which completely upset the plans
of the couple, for the measles, not
even respecting the subjects of Cupid,
directed an attack against Company c
and succeeded in putting Private Mou
in quarantine.
Scarcely had the members OF Com
pany C been released from quarantine
when Cupid renewed his activities and
the wedding was set for Saturday after
Christmas.
But alas. The grizzly measles again
came "snooping" around, and again was
Private Mou, much to his disappoint-
ment, quarantined.
This time, however, Cupid was de-
termined not to be defeated. Miss
Mathieson wrote an appealing letter
to Gen. Nicholson, explaining the whole
affair and telling of the obstacles which
she and her fiance already had encount-
cred. AS a result of the letter, the
young couple gained formidable ally.
At the direction of Gen. Nicholson
Private Mou was taken out OF quaran-
tine and sent to the base hospital. Here
his clothes were thoroughly fumigated.
Then Private Mou was allowed to pro-
coed to the Quaker city where the
wedding took place according to sched-
ule. The ceremony was performed by
the Rev. A. Pohlman, pastor of the Re-
formed Lutheran Church of Philadel-
phia
Private Mou has now returned to
camp supremely happy and delighted
at the way Mr.. Cupid, through the
agency of Gen. Nicholson. had put the
measles to rout.

Meade Unscathed in INQUIRIES.

Camp Meade is emerging unscathed
from the many special Investigations
in Washington. The testimony with
regard to shortage of clothing did not
include any reference to, it, but it was
explained that Camp Meade men have
their clothing and never have had to
suffer any hardships. such as some less
fortunate soldiers have endured. The
men. who upon their arrival were given
fatigue uniforms to wear over their
civilian clothing. have been supplied
with army uniforms, and thus wear the
indigo suits only when engaged in dig
ging that would subject the uniform to
needless wear.

ordered that all food taken on plates
shall be eaten. Disciplinary measures
will be taken in all cases of violation of
this order"
