by recruiting officers. but he is here

who stand up so proudly and claim the

rejected over and over again by recruit

Dinsrdo explained how he got INTO the

BRIDE ARRESTED
At CHURCH DOOR
IN NBIGAMY CASE

. NEW YORK, May 31.-Unless the
laws OF New York State are over
hauled Immediately. Minnie Kramer
OF - East Fourth street, expects to
live this, year the most annoying OF
her twenty-three summers. She has
more husbands than she can manage
to retain interest in, and what TO do
about it now is a matter which inter
ests her no more vitality than it does
John Brobowski. whom she married
in 1918. and James Krames, whom
she married last Sunday.
The confusion OF Minnie is no great
er than her inability to explain her
plight, for yesterday ip the Harlem
court. after testifyinK in circles for
more than twenty minutes. she wound
up her Impressions with this regret:
"Oh. woUIdst that 7 knOwed three
years ago already what now 1 got

Mate Files the Coop.
According TO John Brobowslxi. who
lives at 52s Sixth avenue. the week Of
his 1915 honeymoon was the happiest
OF his reasonably festive life. Three
days after his marriage he received
an offer OF a position in Pennsylvania,
and in court he declared that at the
end OF a week he left his bride and
went forth 10 make a nest in Pennsyl-
vania.
When IT was made his mate had
flown. he said. and for a year he could
not learn OF her whereabouts. He met
her twice and on these occasions
pleaded with her to return to him.
Minnie. he said. had in his absence dc
veioped a silvery laugh which on
these occasions she used upon him in
a manner which left him dizzy and
heartbroken on.
Last Sunday. according to Johns
testimony, he was walking along Sec
ond avenue. when he saw a bridal
party driving north in an open car
riage. He glanced at the persons
therein in a most casual way and sud
denly registered twenty guaranteed
emotions upon noting that the bride
was none other than Minnie. To say
that he ran after the carriage Is fail
ing to describe speed. He few.

as official killjoy at the wedding. but
when he told all to the Rev. Peter l.
PoppOh. who was to perform the
ceremony. the clergyman doubted him.
Minnie came forward. according to her
FIRST husband. and UnDlushinEly de-
clared she had never set eyes upon
this exceedingly strange Ond excited
man.
Neighbors in East Ninety-seventh
street noticed John running around
in circles in front OF the church dur
ing the ceremony. and before it was
over he attracted the attention OF De,
teCtive Pflaster. The detective be-
lievcd him somewhat. and Minnie was
arrested as soon as she arrived home
with her new husband. In court she
was held in 800 bail on, a bigamy
charge.

These were directed against portions
of the line believed to be lightly
held.
In France the Germans succeeded
by this method in gaining the rear of
strongly held portions of the line
which had to be evacuated quickly
by the Allies. Along the Italian
front, however, the foe was not able
to penetrate far into the Allied posi-.
lions and conterattacks soon drive
him back to his lines.
Italian Morale Sustained.
The result is as YET" in the balance.
So far German troops are reported
in only one sector in the mountain
front, but it is not improbable that
they will be dispatched to aid the
Austrians If they can be spared along
the French front. Furious fighting
is said to be continuing and it is
probable that harder blows will be
launched by the enemy.
The fact, however, that the first
onset did not result in a virtual de-
bacle, such as ensued when the Ger
mans and Austrians attacked along
the Isonzo last October, speaks vol
umes for the Italian morale. And late
reports give reason for belief that
the blow at Italy is not being launch.

London, June 1s.-Although the sit

battleline in northern Italy remains
somewhat obscure, it seems that the
Austrians have accomplished little at
the inception Of their drive against
the Italian and Allied armies.
From the lower Piave river and
northward along that stream reports
tell Of the enemy being checked and

to the Brenta, where the Teutons
advanced through mountain ravines in
their attempt to break through the
Allied lines the situations seems to
be we'll in hand.

JUDGE D. H. COLEMAN
 SEEKS REELECTION

Judge Dene H. Coleman of Batesville announces in today's paper as a candidate for a sec ond term as circuit judge of the Third Judicial District.
 Judge Coleman is now round ing out his first term in this of flee and has made good in ev- cry respect. His spirit of fair ness and the capable manner in which he dispatches the business of the court has won for him the commendation of the people generally.
 Judge Coleman has the hap py faculty of making friends wherever he goes and it is very probable that no man who ever held this position has made more warm friends in the district than has Judge Cole man.
 His judicial decisions are always based upon fairness and justice, and during the four years that he has occupied the bench, very few of the decis- ions of his court have been re- Iyersed by the supreme court. Judge Coleman will probab. | ly have no opposition for re- election as it is generally con ceded that he has been faithful and efficient in the discharge of his duties and is entitled to 3 second term.

OUR PART IN THE
 THIRD LIBERTY LOAN
Independence County's Quota For Latest Bond Issue Is
 Over $212,O0o.O0

All is now set for the great Third Liberty Loan Drive for s, ,ooo, 100000 with it's oyer subscriptions.
 Every county in every state in the union, and every town and city in every county is list ed at headquarters of the Lib erty Loan Organization at St. Louis and at the Treasury De partment at Washington.
 Each town, city and county has had the quota of bonds it must take, allotted to it, and each will be expected and must take the bonds assigned.
 The Financiers everywhere expected the issue to be much larger than the $3,000,000,000 required. Plans were perfect ed for a sale largely in excess of this. Now with the organi- zations that have been per fected the quota should be sub- scribed in very brief cam paign.
 Many counties and towns have advised headquarters that their quotas have already been pledged, and with a little work the over-subscriptions will reach sums that will show the world that the patriotism of the people has been aroused to a high pitch; will show our al- lies across the water that the United States may be depended on to do it's part, and will dem- onstrate to the Kaiser and all Germany that every man in the nation and every dollar of Americas wealth will be en- listed in war that is to sweep Prussianism from the face of the Earth.
