MARRIED IN BED
Sick Funston Soldier Takes
Nurse as His Bride.
Pneumonia Patients In HOspi-
tai Were Witnesses.

The war has brought about many
changes in the way of weddings. Some
are big, some are little, some have the
military tinge. and some-a very few
do not. Telephone weddings are COM
mon, nowadays, and the telegraph has
played its part. But it has remained
for Fort Riley to stage the most spec
tacular wedding in a hospital ward in
Kansas.
The stage was set in the ward at the
Fort Riley base hospital known as the
severe pneumonia ward" Lieut.. G..
Charles Gray, chaplain of the base.
performed the ceremony uniting Sergt.
Alfred Moran of the signal corps bat
talon at Camp Funston, and Miss
Clara Hanson, nurse at the base.
The ceremony was conducted under
the supervision and with the permits
sion of Lieut.. W. ]. Salisbury, surgeon
in charge OF the ward. Nurses Mar
guerite Winger, Pauline Howden and
Emma Clinton were the bridesmaids
and Pvt. r. E. Kemp of Perry, S. D.,
was best man.
According to the story told over
the telephone by Chaplain Gray, this
morning, the marriage was the out
come of a hospital romance of sorts.
1t seems that the bride and groom had
planned a big wedding, but the groom
was taken sick with the pneumonia
and it became next to impossible. APP
peals to the surgeons of the ward and
to Chaplain Gray finally brought out
a solution of the dilemma. The fifty
five beds in the ward were moved
about and the groom's bed was moved
into the middle of the semicircle.
With orderlies stationed at the ward
doors and the patients propped high
in their beds, with the rack of pneu-
monia coughs punctuating the cere-
monies the two were bound until
death do them part"

IN 3 BIG BATTLES
Manhattan Corporal Honorably Dis
charged After Being Wounded.

Manhattan, Kan, Oct. 24-After
experiencing nearly three years of
warfare in which he was actively en-
gagged with Canadian forces in some
of the most sanguinary battles of the
French front. Corp. Harry Dodge has
returned to his home here. On ac-
count of being gassed and wounded
he has been honorably discharged.
Dodge. was in the battles of Ypres, the
Samme and Vimy ridge iL the early
stages of the war when the allied sol
dies did not have the encoura cement
they now have of seeing the Hun
waves pressed back.
- Corporal Dodge says that the Ger
mans are realizing that their inau-
guration of the use of gas shells is
but boomerang and that the Huns
themselves are the worst sufferers
from this form of fighting now. He
tells of one gas attack in which SIS 900
G rmans were gassed. He says Hun
gas now has no particular terrors for
the allies because of the superior gas
masks now utilized.
The corporal relates an incident
when peace for a day; was declared
between the opposing armies. On
Christmas, 1916, he says, Canadians

ORDERS NULLIFIED

Almost the first action of the war de-
partment after announcement of the sign
ing Of the armistice with Germany was the
cancellation Of all army draft calls under
which more than 100000 men had been
ordered to entrain for camps before No
vember 80.
Cancellation Of draft calls and Undue
lions practically nullifed the famous

It also was announced from Washing
ton, on November IL, that draft boards
were ordered to stop classifying men I'M

withhold questionnaires for such regis

officially at the provost marshal generals

in it. It is significant that the
majority of the multitude Of proclama-
tons are addressed to comrades rather
than to citizens, and that references are
no longer made to the people republic,
but to the Socialist Republic. .
Yet there are some who still hope for a
reign Of reason. The Chicago Tribune
says:
CHOW the German people are entering
a trial greater than the war. We do not
think what has happened in Russia will
happen in Germany, because the German
people are literate and to some extent ex-
perienced in government. The revolts now
breaking out adopt the forms and symbols
of the Russian revolutionists, but there is
reason to hope and believe that the mass
Of the people will not follow the fanatical
theorists Of Bolshevism There is a middle
class which should be able to steady the
situation and leaders not drunk with theo-
ries unmitigated by experience or common
sense, like the Bolsheviks Lenine and
Trotzky.
Elm short, Germany should be able to
pass from autocracy or militarist bureauc-
racy to some rational form Of representa-
tive government without going through the
cruel and foolish cycle Of anarchy back to
despotism and then slowly, after loss of
years. forward on the road Of political and

GREAT BRITAIN,S MARITIME
POWER

Within the past year the people of the
United States have heard great deal about
the gigantic strides made by the American
shipbuilding industry While the ship
yards of Great Britain have been at a COM
paratively low ebb, owing to shortage of
men and the stress of the world war, Amer
lean shipyards have forged ahead, con-
structing greater tonnage than any other
nation
What has been done by the United
States is simply marvellous, in face Of the
difficulties encountered; but we are yet far
from being the great maritime power Of the
world, the merchant marine of Great Brit
ain still being nearly four times larger than
ours at the end Of struggle in which she
has lost hundreds of ships.
The following, from the London Ecoas-
om,ast, is Illuminating:
"To those whose eyes look beyond the
war; and who already anticipate a great
American mercantile marine in competition
with depleted British lines we would point
out that after all it's losses British mer-
chant shipping still amounts to over
100000 tons gross, and that Americas
ocean going tonnage built and completing
exclusive of captures-is as yet little
more than 100000. What the relative
positions will be year hence-or two years
hence, if the war should last so long-we
do not venture to predict
