II takes from six to seven weeks for
our letters to reach a man in France.
Usually it takes less for his to reach
this country. There are innumerable
reasons why letters are delayed. There
are very few steamers carrying mail
and there are between one and three
million letters, sometimes more, on
every vessel that comes in. You see,
letters are held until a steamer sails
from France, and in this way patches
of them accumulate for one person.
Another reason is that the men you
expected to hear from might be busy
and not be able to get their letters
mailed. You may be sure that they
never forget you. America and the
people at home mean twice as much to
them now. Give them the strength Of
your trust and keep on writing them
newsy, cheerful letters.
am engaged to a young man who is
very good to me. Before meeting him,
kept company with another young
man whom | loved more than / think
I can ever love any one else. Should I
keep up my engagement, thinking per-
haps that could learn to love him in
time or should / break it?
You will have to choose between the
two men. NO girl ought even to err,
terrain a thought of marriage to one
man while she knows that she cares
for another more. To marry a man,
knowing that you love someone else,
is unfair and could never result in hap
piness except by accident. To insure
happiness in marriage as in all things
one must play fair with ones self and
others. If you are sure, that you still
love the other man you ought to
give up this enc who cares for you.
Il necessary you could tell him your
reason for doing so. There is chance
that you may change, in which case
IT would be all right to continue to con
slider this one seriously.

clared in part:

decided the war in the east. 1t still
lives today, as does our spirit of of
absolute superiority over our enc

American steamer Edward Pierce es-
capped both shell fire aud torpedo
from submarine off the Virginia
Capes Monday night in chase that
ended only when coast lights were
sighted, was told here today by Cap
tain Wade, master of the vessel. The
attack came soon after the Norwegian
steamer Henrik Ilund was sunk 120
miles east Of Cape Hatteras and prob
ably was made by the same subma-
rine.
4 Captain Wade said his first warn
ing was a flash of light and a shell
cross his bow. 1t was dark and the
captain said that he would depend on
speed to save his ship. The.subma-
rine continued to fire but the marks

launched a torpedo, but it went wide,
though the captain and members of
the crew saw it pass the vessel at a
rapid speed. The chase lasted for
two hours the submarine eventually
drawing off when the coast lights
came into view.
Captain Wade said his wireless
calls were answered by the Cape Sa
BILE, Nova Scotia station and the
American steamer Walter ID. Noyes
The latter vessel reported on its ar

believed to have been submarine

Immediately after the bank robbery
communications were sent out to this
city as well as many others, and Sher-
iff Brad o. Smith took a posse and
covered the Benton highway. and
Constable Downen took posse aud
covered the Malvern road
Later telephone communication to
the Sentinel-Record indicated that
the men had gone north from Malvern
instead of in this direction
Cashier Macdonald last night told
the Sentinel+Record that the bank had
lost between 5000 and $4,000 from
the robbery. He was in the bank at
the time the two young men stepped
in and covered the employees and Of
ficers of the bank with drawn pistols
The men were ordered Immediately
into the open doors of the vault. The
robbers collected up what money they
could find at hand, and in very short
time stepped out under cover of their
revolvers, and left in Ford car.
Mr.. Macdonald said that soon after
the robbery a man was found in a
Ford car about two miles from the
city on the Little Rock road, and that
his explanation of the situation was
not satisfactory. He told the officers
of the county that he was on the road
in his car little while before and
that two men came along and stuck
him up and tied him to a tree off from
the road and then took his car and
left. and that later they returned and
left his car there with him. and dis
appeared in the woods.
The officers believed that he was a
conspirator, and that he knew more
about the robbery than he had toiG.
They locked him up pending further
investigation of the whole affair.
The descriptions given of the men
were not very clear. 1t was said they
were both young men, between 30 and
35 years of age, and that they were
both rather small one wore khaki
pants and one wore a cap and
raineoat. The color of hair, eyes and
other descriptions were not given IN
the reports of last night.
1t was the impression of some that
they were perhaps draft resisters. and
that they had decided to rob the bank
and take a desperate chance to get
away. Two days before federal Off
GERS had been in that section OF Sa-
line county, near the robbery round
ing up the draft resisters and any
who had been taking part I'm I'M
patriotic meetings which had been
held at intervals there.
The officers here have notified res
idents OF the section of the robbery
and have done all that seemed to be
done in the matter OF lending assist
ance to the officers OF Hiot Spring
