BRIDEGROOM IN ARMY,
' BRIDE IN RED CROSS
Trump of Mars Answered by the
Joyous Sound of Wed
ding Bells
A real war romance was disclosed today,
when Leioy Ilotzell, twenty-three jears old,
of 14 West C'helten avenue, enlisted In tho
Sixth Regiment of Infantry, and his bride
of a day look preliminary steps to enroll
as a lied f'roy nurse so that If possible
she may be sent to France when her hus
band's reKjiiitnt sails and minister to him
In case lie becomes a target for a Gorman
bullet or shell.
Until yesterday Mrs. Ilotzell wna Miss
Kmma Taylor, twenty-lit e jears old, of
KSO'J Boyer street. They had been engaged
for fcoine time, but had not expected to be
married until October.
Continued appeals by tho War Depart
ment for cooks for the various units that
soon art- to leave for the front caused Rot
zell to determine that Ills country needed
his sen Ices In the capacity of rook rather
than In n rombatnnt capacity. After a
confernce with Ills llanree. It was decided
that they should slip quietly away and be
married, after which he was to enlist and
she was to follow him as a Red Cross
nurse If the War Department so allowed.
Magistrate lieaton married them In his
otllce mi Spring Cardeti street yesterday,
and today Ilotzell took the oath of fealty
to tin Hag and obedience to the officers
appointed over him.
The young brldo has had considerable
ti. lining as a Red Cioss nurse, but she In
tends hastening her framing go that she
will be qualified to enroll as a full-fledged
nurso by the time her husband leaves for
France. She accompanied him to the r
(.rultliif olllce today when ho enlisted.
Neither Ilotzell nor his brldo entertains
the opinion that It will be easy for the latter
to be detailed to the part of tho western
front where tho Sixth Regiment will be sta
tioned. Thc know that tho stern author
ities of the War Department hu fiownen
on such requests, but difficulties of achlee.
ment will not prevent them trying to hate It
arinnged so, they said today.
Kven If Mrs. Rutzell Is sent to a place In
he theatre of war far removed from her
husband, still she I determined that she
wl I go as soon as she qualifies as a nurse
There won't be any slacken, In our fain
Hi. shu said pioudly today. "We'll both
do our duty to our country."

NEW OFFICERS BACK
HOME FROM FT. NIAGARA
Wives, Sweethearts and Children
Throng Trainshed to Wel
come Loved Ones
When the tanned nnd rugged-looking
Phlladelphlans of the Reserve Officers'
Training Corps arrived from Fort Niagara
shoitly before noon today, the Reading
Terminal resounded with kisses and hand
clasps. Wives, sweethearts and daughters were
thero scores of 'em and they charged on
tho little army of nearly four hundred
cen beforc-tho officers of Uncle Sam's reg
ulars could piepare a defense. Hats dropped
In all directions as kisses and hugs storm
ed through the crowd, and there were vol
umes In tho expansive smiles of the youths,
who were glad to bo on home soil ngaln
Tho training at the camp worked a metn
morphosls. Many of the youths who left
desks and shops with pale faces nnd nar
rowed shoulders return broad-shouldered
and strapping. Rvery bit of lion mi them
Is of the fighting kind and represents so
many ounces of real energy.
The camp at Fort Niagara broke yester
day. The men will be allowed a furlough
of two weeks', after which they will report
for further service at Camp Meade, Annap
olis Junction.
They went to Fort Niagara May IB ann
they generally agreed that the training has
given them a new lease on life.
Of the first few men who stepped from
the legular Huffalo train, the majority of
the new officers were of the quartermaster's
department.
None of them appeared to be conscious
of their new honors. They knew and felt
that they had learned a great deal of war
time tactics, hut all expressed the fact that
they realized there was yet a lot of knowl
edge to be received before they became
seasoned officers. As one of the men said,,
"We worked hard and attempted to put
Into three months' training that which under
ordinary circumstances would have taken
four years. We haVe yet to receive more
training In service In the field, before we are
first class officers.
Rarh of the men before leaving the train
ing quarters received telegrams from the
War Department notifying of tho granting
of commissions and containing orders, with
tho t mo and place to report, upon the ex
piration of the furlough.

MONUMENT DEALERS GO
IN FOR ART, REAL ART
No More Unsightly Tombstones
to Be Allowed, They Decide.
Kick on Freight Rates
Members of the National Retail Monu
ment Dealers' Association have gone In
for Art with a capital A.
No longer aro cemeteries throughout the
country to be defuctd with Inartistic monu
ments and shafts. If the delegates to the an
nual convention of the association have
their way.
An art Jury, to be composed of eminent
nnd high-salaried sculptors, will have to
pass on the design of every mausoleum,
crypt, monument, shaft, or whatever me
morial It may be desired to erect to the
dead, and If It does not meet with the ap
proval of their sense of tho beautiful, the
crestfallen dealer must prepare a new de
sign or employ some one to do It for him
This all came out this morning at the
second day's session of the, convention In
the Adolphla Hotel. It was also proposed
that the services of the art Jury, as It were,
are to be placed at the disposal of com
munities, municipalities, nnd may be used
also In preparing designs for war memo
rials to he erected to the memory of sol
diers who may be killed in battle,
An effort was made during the morning
session to have the convention place It
self on record regarding what action the
association will take In taking up tho de
fense of seventeen of Its officers, or ex-officers
who are under Federal Indictment for
alleged violation of the Sherman anti-trust
laws, but discussion on that matter was
postponed until routine business had been
disposed of.
Freight rates charged by several eastern
railroads also came In for discussion and
attack, and appeal to the interstate CSm
merce, Commission was threatened.
In the afternoon Pompeo Copplnl, a noted
bculptor, gave an exhibition of his skill,
using as models two beautiful Tltlan-halred
girls. Hardly a delegate to tho convention
missed this part of the day's program.

Think This Over
Kentucky Burley is a good

better. But there are ways
and ways to cure it. There
are quick, man-made pro

but it is the best
method. Try
Velvet and taste
