Miss Hazel OSulli van, sister of the bride, was the only one taken into the secret and was a witness at the ceremony and the certificate was also signed by Judge Pattee who chanced to be present when the service was read.
 The news will come as great surprise to the legion of friends of the young couple who until noon had not decided when they would marry although their engagement was of six months standing. Miss O'Sullivan appeared at the office of the state | superintendent of public instruction as usual in the morning and later in the day, meeting her fiance, was urged to marry him at once without fuss and bother"

 Dear Bill:
 You will find enclosed a picture to go in your collection of what was
 T am real close up to the front and have all kinds of excitement, such as shrapnel falling around aeroplane bat ties over us and the continuous roar of the big guns. 1 am sending you a souvenir off of a German plane that was brought down in camp a few days ago. The plane was a total wreck and the two men in it were killed. This was off of the tail piece T never felt better in my life and like it fine. We have had some very bad weather but it is getting better now. This is great country. Don't have soda shops. but plenty of other drinks. Champagne is only eight francs or | about $1.30 quart"

WAR SOUVENIRS IN
 WINDOW INSPECTED

Shot and killed in battle in Flanders while 12,0O0 feet in the air, Lieutenant C. Oliver Rayner's personal effects were gathered and preserved by his father, Sergeant c. Rayner. who brought them to this country, together with other interesting souvenirs from the great battlefields.
 Hundreds of people in Phoenix yes terday viewed these interesting articles displayed in a window at Goldberg's on Washington street. Sergeant Rayner the father is in the city to deliver ad- dresses on the war as he viewed it on the Western front. He is an "ccredited member of the British recruiting mis- sion. Four of the sergeant's American sons joined the colors of the allied ar mics. The air battle in which one son was killed took place in October, 1917.
 So great was the crush in front of Goldberg'S window yesterday that scores were unable to get view of the interesting relics. Besides the personal effects of the aviator son who gave his life in battle, which consisted of the aviators clothes, sleeping garments, bedding, canvas bath tub, etc, there were parts of a German airplane, a German gun and numerous battle field relics from the German, French and English armies. Different styles of ammunition were displayed side by side, making an interesting compari- son. Gas masks. such as are worn by French and English soldiers, were ob- jects of much interest to the throngs.
 Sergeant Rayner wears the wrist watch which was worn by his aviator son at the time he was shot down, and also wears a ring made from a bit of the metal of the airplane wreckage.

DAM GUARDS ASK
 FUR INFORMATION

A letter addressed to the Y. M. c. A. at Phoenix from Ernest w. Plant, 35th infantry detachment at Roosevelt dam, was turned over to The Republican yesterday for general information.
 The letter says: We have two ques- tions under discussion. but we have no way of proving them. The first is: When was the Declaration of 1nde- pendence signed?' Wasn't it signed before July 4? The second question is: Does the republican party control the national senate?' I wish you would please settle these questions for us"
 In answer to the second question the editor says the republican party does not control the national senate. In answer to the first question he says the Continental congress on July 4, 1776, declared the American colonies to be free and independent of Great Britain. A resolution of independence was of- fered by R. H. Lee June 2, 1776. The committee appointed to draft the dec laration consisted of Jefferson Frank lin, John Adams, Roger Sherman and R. R. Livingston. The document was written for the most part by Jefferson. It was signed by 56 members on July f.

 II JET NURSES

Twenty-Five thousand nurses are urgently needed before January 1, 1913, by the army and navy. They must have 5000 by June 1, 1918. This means that at least one in every three of all the graduate nurses in the United States must answer their country's call, or that our sick and wounded soldiers and sailors will suffer without a nurses care.
 Inaugurating an intensive ten day campaign for nurses, Mrs. Win Wylie, superviscS of the bureau of nursing oi the Central Arizona chapter of the Req Cross, will today begin the work of enlisting every eligible nurse within her territory for military duty.
 Every graduate nurse in the state is asked to enroll within the ten day period and the authorities have par ticularly pointed out that the nurse need not return to her own state but enroll where she is at the present time.
 The call must be met. The fighting army depends upon the size and eff ciency of the nursing army which must be rapidly increased.
 Next to the enrolment of soldiers and sailors this is the most important issue having behind it the ultimate safety of America.
 Graduate nurses are the only group of women recognized as a part of the military establishment" reads a mes- sage from Washington Upon them develop to a great degree the health, morale and lives of men fighting for us. Insufficient and incompetent nurs- ing is a menace to the United States l forces"
 l In order that sufficient number oi nurses might volunteer for service the nurse employing public will be appealed to by Mrs. Wylie who will ask then release. Many who employ nurses could dispense with their services" sht declares, especially by those who em- ploy a nurse for a companion" As pressing military necessity she be. lieves every nurse who is not imperi. lively needed at home should volun- teer her services.
 Physicians who have trained nurses in their offices will be asked to dis. pense with their service and train girl for that position. Everyone" Mrs Wylie says, should campaign fo nurses to conserve the health and tn lives of the boys across the sea-"
