Cannot Set Aside
Marriage of Boy

Syracuse, n. Y.-Justice William
NJ. Ross decision holding that a
marriage contracted by a boy of 19
years without the consent of his par
ents cannot be annulled was unani-
mously upheld by the appellate divi-
sion. fourth department The test
case which the court passed upon
was the marriage of William Cher
noff and Miss Catherine Silver SOL
emnized on February "a, 1916. The
couple parted two months after the
ceremony.
The theory on which the action
was brought by Attorney Clarence
UnckleSs was that the age of 81 years
had not been reached by the boy and
therefore the consent of his parents
to the match was required. Justice
Ross dismissed the complaint follow
ing the ruling of Justice David +.
Manning of New York, holding that
IS years is the legal consent age in
marriages, Justice Ross held that the
age of 81 applied only when resi-
dents OF this state went into others
TO contract marriages.

I'VE have peculiar problem in

In the making of motortrueks." says
Horace T. Thomas. chief engineer of
the REQ Motor Car Company.
That is the propensity which is
almost universal. to overload a truck.
ANY maker who would make a
truck whose maximum load capacity
was 1900 pounds and then label it a
three-quarter-ton vehicle would find
he had a mighty short-lived truck.
Not once in fifty times would the load
be three quarter tons or less. In
many cases it would be fully twice
that.
IN trying to figure out the cause
for this. 1 came to the conclusion
that a large percentage of truck driv-
ers have graduated from the old horse
vehicle. OF course. horse-drawn We
hicles at one time had a capacity rat
ing, but it was So long ago nobody
remembers it.
The driver gradually got to know
by experience, or by kind of in
stinct, how much his horses could
pull over a certain section of road and
he loaded to that capacity. He did
not know, or did not care, whether II
was one ton, TWO tons or nNe tons. II
the horses could get away with II, he
considered that all sufficient.
when the same man was given the
mastery over motortruck, he applied
a similar principle. but with this diff
ference, that il the truck could not

Nowadays it is perfectly safe to

"Of course, we do not advocate
this, but we tell the owner he may
do so at his own option, always with
the understanding that he will get a
certain amount of service out OF the

GARDNER VICTIM
OF PNEUMONIA
(By Associated Press.)

Washington, Jan. 15.-Major Au-
gustus p. Gardner Of Hamilton
Mass, died late yesterday at the
Camp Wheeler base hospital after
short illness from pneumonia.
After continuous service Of fif-
teen years as representative from
the Fifth congressional district OF
Massachusetts,, Augustus p. Gard
ner resigned last year when war was
declared to enter the United States
army. For years he had fought for
national preparedness, for a bigger
army and a bigger navy, and when
this country became involved in
hostilities, he gave prompt and
practical demonstration Of his pa
triotism.
In the Spanish American war he
served as captain and assistant ad-
jutant general on the STAFF Of Gem
eral James HI. Wilson, and there
after waged determined fight in
and out Of congress for the develop
ment OF American military and
naval forces.
Since his graduation from Harvard
in 1886, Mr.. Gardner had devoted
the greater part Of his time to poll
tics. Elected to congress in 1902 to
I'LL vacancy caused by the retire
ment of William III. Moody he was
nominated to succeed himself in each
succeeding campaign and was elect
ed by large majorities over his Dem
ocratic opponents. Only once was
his political program varied, that
being I'm 1918, when he was the Re
publican nominee for governor
against Eugene Noble Foss. Foss was
elected, but the campaign did not
interrupt Gardeners term in the ma
tional house OF representatives.
After joining the army last year
Major Gardner was commissioned a
colonel, but at his request, was re-
duced to major in order that he
might be sent to France for active
service in the field. This, his friends
said, was characteristic OF the man
and in keeping with the doctrine nc
long had preached in favor OF uni
versal military service without
thought OF personal reward or favor

Weekly Summary of War
Department Reports
But Little Fighting
.OVERSHADOWED BY
PEACE PARLEYS
Intensely Cold Weather on
Western Front Has I'M
peded Operations
CBy Associated Press.)

Washington, Jan. 15.-Only minor
developments at the battle fronts
are recorded in the weekly review
of military operations made public
last night by the war department.
Wintry weather is interfering with
operations in Italy, France and
| Flanders, and in Russia the mill
! tary situation is overshadowed by
peace negotiations from which the
review says no conclusions can safe
| ly be drawn.
OF the American forces in France,
the department announces that their
preparation for the ordeal of battle
is being steadily pursued and that
General Pershing reports their
health and lighting spirit extremely
good.
| General improvement in health and
equipment conditions in training
camps at home is reported, and the
department says in spite Of abnor-
NAL cold the camps have been ade-
Quately heated and soldiers have
had a sufficient supply Of blankets
for their comfort.
ION the active fronts in the west
| and i'll Italy, the equilibrium Of bat
tie has been maintained" says the
review,
During the period under review,
the enemy has concentrated his at
tacks against the British in the re-
gion north of the Cambria area and
in the Ypres salient, and by con-
| tinuous harassing fire and minor
offensive thrusts endeavored to mask
tactical readjustments and new dis
positions of units.
Impeded BY Cold.
Owing m the fnf0nEalW cold
weather which has prevailed along
the entire western front, operations
have been impeded.
''The Identification of Austrian
units along the western front is Of
| interest. For some time past, we
have been receiving information to
! the effect that Austrian howitzers
which had been participating in the
offensive in Italy, were being detach-
ed from the Italian theateF and
| transported to the west.
I'm spite OF unfavorable atmO-
| spheric conditions, French and Brit
ish aviators were very busy along
| the whole front, and brought down
a number of hostile planes. Air raids
| into the interior Of Germany were
crowned with success.
I'm Italy the enemy has been i'm
modified by the deep snew in the
mountain zone. Fresh snow has been
| falling throughout the Alpine re-
| gion, blocking the passes and has
rendered active operations impos-
sible. Nevertheless the Austro- Ger
mans are endeavoring to continue
their bombardments of the Italian
| positions along the Asiago plateau
and the Monte Tomba.
while information reaches us
| that the Austro- Germans propose to
undertake simultaneous offensives
| in Italy, and in the west, IL is TO
be noted that within the central en-
| pires great efforts are now being
made to spread broadcast the news
that the Germans have fulfilled their
widest detectives in the Italian the
alter and that no further forward
movement could be Of any advantage
to their interests.
I'm Russia the military situation
is for the time being overshadowed
| by the peace negotiations which
have been instituted.
mo conclusion can safely be
drawn from the latest Incidents"

supervision of grades must com

law givers of this state saw the
wisdom and the great necessity for
