blushing bride when the Rev. u. g.
H. Goucher. who performed the
ceremony. broke into the house. de.
manded the marriage certificate. re-
turned the SO fee and pronounced
the marriage illegal on account Of
blood relationship. And It now de-
velops that the marriage was all the
more amazing because the bride has
a living husband who gave his con.
sent to the union and who was going
TO live with the couple.
The Rev. Mr.. Gouoher forcibly'
united the knot after a resident
here had telephoned him Of the true
circumstances. His action was q
keen disappointment to the youth's
companions, who had gathered out.

fashioned cheveree. They were de.
manding the usual cigars. candy
and q nip. II such were. available,
when the irate pastor arrived and
broke UP the party.
George often took his grand.

courtship progressed. He was a
real Romeo. He gave her q dia.

wrist watch, and was always very
attentive to his sixty.year-old sf.

he hurried to Canada and made ar.
rangements for the ceremony.
Mrs. Day said tonight she was

the parsonage.
When she saw the grandmother
stand by Georges side and respond
to the ritual with q meek Il do.
Mrs. Day was 30 astonished she
was speechless and unable 70 stop

The Rev. Mr.. Goucher said he
never dreamed the couple were re-

The difference in their ages, he
said. did not surprise him much,
as he frequently officiates when old

Lady Astor, Running
Again, Quiets Fears
of England's 'sWets"
Interna ttonal News Service.

PLYMOUTH, England, Oct. as
Lady Nancy Astor, American-born
peeress, who IL standing for re-
election to the House of Commons
on the Unionist ticket, charged in
speech today that her political
opponents were hitting below the
Uelt.
"But mercifully they are hitting
with lies," added the viscountess.
One Of the chief planks Of Lady
Astor's platform is temperance, but
she revealed today that she Is not
so dry as she is painted. She be-
lieves that England is not yet
ready for absolute prohibition. Her
political stock took big jump
when she said in an address:
"If mine were the deciding vote
to force prohibition upon England,
I would NOT cast It."
Political supporters said that this
statement proved that Lady Astor
would not try to make England dry
IL she is reelected, as her opponents
charge. She said that II there was
to be any mud singing she was
going to leave II to someone else.
On this point she smphatically de.
clared:
"If YOU folks want someone to
hurl mud and stones at Lloyd
George and Earl Balfour and
Chamberlain don't come to me with
your request. won't do It. That's

has not been at war with Turkey
and, therefore cannot appropriately
be a party to the peace negotia-

East, this country deems II ad-
visable to have observers present
at Lausanne"
At the State Department last
night It. was said that no decision
had yet been reached with regard
to the identity Of the American
observers. It il not likely, how
ever, that any will be sent from
this country, but rather American
diplomats already close to the scene
will be designated. The names Of
Richard washburn Child, American
ambassador to Italy; Rear Admiral
Mark Bristol, American high COM
missioner at Constantinople; Joseph
G. Grew, American minister to
Switzerland, and II. Percival Dodge,
minister to the Serbs, Croats and
Slovenes, are understood to be un-
