Marine officers in Rock Island
have entrained their 40th recruit for
marine training stations since the
first of the month.
Edwin J. Nelson, IT'S Eleventh

Paris Island, S. c.
Sergeants Baker and GoritZ, re-
CRITTERS, have made great efforts to
break the marine recruiting record
for the month in the central divis-

to be much higher than the nearest
competitor
The recruiters had attempted to
reach the mark of so, but the order
received by the local exemption
board barring class 1 draft men
from enlisting, held up the enlist
ments.

All effort failed in an attempt to

to submerge her worldly troubles
in death.

the overcoming of asphyxiation
were used with but little avail.

was taken to the Wheelan under

stating that the wife would be gone
when he arrived home, and that she
was sorry to leave him. but that
she believed that he would be bet
ter off with her gone as she had
been suffering with i'll health so
long. Deepest love for him was
expressed in the note. Direct state
ment was made to the effect that
suffering caused by i'll health had
caused her to decide on the act of
committing suicide to gain relief.
Mrs. Murdoch told neighbor a
few hours before that she was SUI
fering with a heart affection.
DR.. Foster stated today that he
had attended Mrs. Murdoch for
about a week, and said that she
was suffering with heart trouble as
the result of rheumatism. Dr. Fos-

woman had heart trouble is re
sponsible for the nOn-respOnse to
methods of resuscitation.
