of honor. The menu and recipe
follow:
For breakfast we'll have love
with a little bit of toast,
| have tried it my dear, so you
see,
For dinner we'll have love with
a little bit of roast
Its splendid just take it fromme.
For supper we'll have love and
of course we'll have pies
With a steaming hot cup of tea,
Now hear her sighs
The bride almost cries,
Listen I'll give you nice recipe;
Take a big lot of love mixed well
with hug,
To this add | plate of kisses,
This mixed well with years,
And served free of tears
Is called Wedding Blisses".

ATTACK ON SUBMARINE
TOLD BY PASSENGERS
U-Boat Probably Hit and Sunk by
British Steamship Over Week
Ago-Single Shot Fired.

AN ATLANTIC PORT, June ia
German submarine was attacked and
apparently sunk by a British steam
ship a week ago Sunday morning of
a British port, according to passen-
gers on the vessel, which arrived here
today. A United States Army officer
who saw the single shot fired at the
U-boat, which was only $50 yards
away, expressed the opinion a clean
hit was made.
The destroyers which accompanied
the British liner closed in after this
one-sided combat and dropped depth
charges at the spot where the sub
marine had disappeared.
The British vessel was met some
distance from this port by a scout
seaplane, which escorted her here.
The liner carried 17s passengers. She
is a vessel which several times has
been subjected to unsuccessful tor
uedo attacks and once was shelled by
a U-boat.
