Co. Officials
Assist Cupid

With A. w. Swanson, county pro-
baton officer, acting in the role OF
an aide to Cupid, a pretty little ro-
nance which blossomed in the warm
hearts of two children of Mexico cul-
minated today with the marriage of
Jesus Lopez and Julia Ayola.
Lopez, who is "a years old, made
the long and hot trek from Everlee,
Ariz., where he is employed, to claim
the love thtat was his. The bride
was smiling little Miss Ayola, 15-year-
old daughter of Limo Ayola of this
city.
The wedding was accomplished in
the face of parental objection, which
was overcome under the warmth of
the pleading of Probation Officer
Swanson and Deputy District Attor-
ney Simon just few minutes before
the ceremony was performed.
The parents of the girl bride, while
admitting the excellence of the young
mans character and habits, declined
to give their permission on the
grounds that the girl was too young
nd knew next to nothing about wife
ly duties. But the girl declared that
unless her parents gave the consent
which would permit the issuance of
the marriage license she would run
away with her lover.
The consent was finally given on
the condition that both church and
civil ceremonies be performed.

Completely at Loss to Un-

(By Associated Press)

Amsterdam, Thursday, Sept. g.
Apparently it has been impossible to
hide from the German people the Bit
ter disappointment of the military au-
thorities over the evacuation of Kem-
mel, one of the strategic strongholds
southwest of Ypres.
The Lokal Anzieger's correspondent
says it was effected with a "heavy
heart" and adds that the sole COM
fort surrounding the withdrawal was
that it was voluntary and served a
tactical purpose affecting the whole
army on the western front.
The Berlin Vorwaerts military
writer is completely at loss to un-
derstand why the proud KENNEL bas-
ton" was surrendered, but concludes
that the fact that two American di-
visions had been seen on that part
of the front indicated that some new
enemy coup had been placed, which
now had been frustrated without cas-
ualties.

London, Sept. 6.-The British have
captured Neuve Chapelle and Busy.
They haye crossed the Canal Du Nord
on the whole front exec : from Hav-
rincourt north to the Scarpe. The
French have captured a block of
hills from Outcourt massif, between
the Somme and the Disc. These are
within three miles of Chauny They
are approaching if not actually on the
Hindenburg line in st. Gobain massif.
The French and American advance on
a fifty-mile front in the Aisne region,
with the recovery of wide area OF
territory as well as important enemy
positions, is the main feature of the
battle news up to this morning.
The French and Americans have
reached the south bank of the Aisne
on an eight-mile front between Conde
and Viel-Arcy. American forces have
occupied Dhuizel and Barbonval vir-
tually without opposition.
The French have continued to push
forward on the entire front between
the Somme and the Vesle and have
made a further crossing of the Somme
south of Peronne. The have reached
the HamPeronne road at several
points. Americans advancing from
the Vesle have reached the outskirts
of Villers en- Prayeres.
The list losses of the Allies and
the large number of German prison
ers taken by the Allies in the present
offensives is attributed to the tempo
rary lowering of the fighting power
of the German army as the result OF
being "overfought," and to certain dis
organizations due to general re-
treat under constant heavy pressure
Military experts expect an improve
ment in the enemy morale when these
factors have been removed.
