MARRIAGE OF
BOY-ED HALTED
Kaiser's Consent to Wed Vir
ginia Mackay - Smith Sup
pressed at Wireless Station
New York, Nov. 3. The overzeal
ousness of an American,naval censor
blighted the romance of Captain Boy-
Ed, recalled naval attache to the Im
perial German Embassy at Washing
ton and Miss Virginia Mackay-Smith,
of that city, daughter of the late
Bishop Alexander Mackay-Smith, of
Philadelphia. Their engagement was
first reported a year before the war.
Immediately after the captain had
obtained Miss Mackey-Smith's affirma
tive answer, he filed, through Ambas
sador Bernstorff, the customary re
quest for the Kaiser's permission, an
iron-clad tradition in ' the German
army and navy. Pains were taken for
Its careful transmission through a me-

dium known only to the Embassy offi
cials. This was early In 1915.
Confident that the Imperial answer
would be prompt and affirmative. Cap
tain Boy-Ed and his bride-to-be be
gan planning. It is said that even the
date was set. Meanwhile there devel
oped the series of "plot" sensations
involving the German naval attache
and his conferee. Captain Von Papen,
and culminating in the demand by the
American government for their recall.
The captain waited vainly for the ex
pected word from the Kaiser. In
stead, last December, came official
word from Berlin that the Kaiser had
complied with the American request
for recall of the two attaches.
Arriving in Berlin, Boy-Ed was
greeted by a host of friends, delighted
to see him but expressing great sur
prise in questioning him: "But where
is the bride?"
The mortified captain had only one
answer: "His Majesty ignored my re
quest for his permission." Then at
last he learned what had happened.
The Kaiser, he was informed, had
complied with the request, and a wire
less dispatch was sent to the captain.
It developed that the American naval
officer acting as censor at the wireless
station, regarded with the utmost sus
picion this message. So he promptlv
suppressed it, and Captain Boy-Ed
and his bride-to-be never heard of it.

"There's no house big enough to

"Too much mother-in-law is not a
good thing for young couples.
"Too much father-in-law has the

When Snakes Were Killed
Ghosts Left This House
Barboursville, W. Va., Nov 3.
The mystery that has for years sur
rounded the haunted house on the
hill b:ick of here has been solved as
a lesull of Green Simkins, a Logan
county miner, his wife and his six
children moving into the house.
Peculiar noises have emanated from
the building at night, and for months
weird stories have been told of the
wraiths holding high carnival there.
Simkins, a stranger, didn't know the
house was "haunted." Mrs. Simkins
had occupied the place only a short
time when the mysterious sound ter
rified her.
She took a gun and wefit upstairs,
where she found the cause of the noise
In the maneuvers of a dozen black
snakes that had taken charge of that
part of the building. She was so
frightened she dropped the gun and
M- reamed for help. Two men passing
killed the snakes.

HOW GOSSIP
MAKES SCANDAL
Beatrice Fairfax Points Out
Wrongs of "Knocking" on
Fellows
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX
The critical faculty is one in which
no human being is lacking. No mut
ter how lowly the station of an in
dividual or how under-developed his
mentality, he tind.s someone to look
down upon and criticise. It seems a
foregone conclusion that everyone in
the world of to-day Is going to
"knock" just about everyone else.
"How could she do this?" "How
dare he do that?" "How under the
sun could they be guilty of such
conduct?" such comments fairly liy
whenever two are gathered together.
Human beings confess readilj; enough
that they like a harmless bit of gos
sip. and fail utterly to realize that
"harmless bit of gossip" grows in <he
telling and assumes the proportions
of a harmful bit of scandal.
"With every breath a reputation
dies." Hideously true! We have
often discussed in the little circle of
ours the evils of gossip its unfair
ness to others, its cruelty to its ob
jects. But now it is worth while to
consider its greater harmfuiness
which is subjective.
None of us can be sure what we
would do were we in the position in
which some one else is placed. The
old story of John Bunyan and the
criminal who was going to be hanged
applies all through life. Said he:
"There, but for the grace of God, goes
John Bunyan." And there, but for
the grace of God, goes any one of us
In any set of circumstances, however
unimaginable, or contemptible, or
painful.
How is any one of us to know
what we would have done in cir
cumstances which tempted some one
else to wrong-doing or even to his
undoing?
Any one who has a poor heredity,
who is brought lip in a bad environ
ment, who has the handicap of
physical ill-health to swing his
mentality from the healthful, and
who meets the particular set of
temptations best calculated to break
down his own set oti defenses, is
pathetically likely to yield to
temptation.
To one of us money Is the temp
tation that is practically irresistible.
Hasn't each of us heard some sturd
ily honest individual say to a bank
cashier or to the handler of money
in any large concern, "I wouldn't
want to be In your place. Doesn't
handling all that money every day
drive you almost mad with the
longing to have it for your own?"
Now, probably, the particular in
dividual who was advanced to that
position is there pretty largely be
cause he is an individual of com
mercial honesty. Most absconding
treasurers and cashiers run away,
not because they have yielded to
the temptation directly due to their
tnoney responsibility, but because
of some outside influence the
races, cards, drink or even an il
licit love affair. And probably an
Individual who meant to be honest
and who thought he was honest
yielded to just the particular
temptation an inherited and culti
vated tendency toward a certain
sort of weakness made too big for
his power of resistance.,
Cultivating strong inhibition and
strong power over ourselves is
likely to help any one of us to re
sist temptation. But not all of us
know this. Not all of us train our
selves early in life to resist our own
weaknesses. The self-indulgent boy
whose parents let him have his own
way and who makes everybody else
let him have his own way is train
ing himself for a manhood in which
he will want something to which he
has no right, but which his own
desperate desires to have what he
wants when he wants it will make
him the victim.
How can any of us know what
set of circumstances makes one man
a thief and another an honored citi
zen? The thing for us to do is to
get at the foundations, help raise
i standards of honesty and virtue,
help make other rewards possible
for virtue than merely virtue it
self. What we need is to get at
causes of crime. So at once we
eliminate to an even greater extent
our own cruel tendency to Judge it.
And that swing* us back full cir
cle to the magnificent summing up
of it all which each of us may find
in the Book of Books:
"Judge not, that ye be not
judged."
KOOTBAM, TAUGHT THIS
YOUTH HOW TO DUCK LIFE
There is a story called "Broken Bibs"
in the November American Magazine in
which the one who tells the facts says:
"Whenever I think of the fir£t three
or four years of Burr's married life,
the same surging pride rushes through
mv veins as when I watched him, from
the grandstand of cheering people that
November day long ago, scramble out
from beneath the pile of some dozen
human beings and start out on that
record run of his. Five, ten, fifteen,
twenty yards 'would he slip by them
all?), twenty-five . . . thirty . . .
almost half way across that field, and
fall with a thud, finally tackled square
ly around hi* waist, five yards from the
goal post! With a broken rib, too, we
learned later!
"It seemed to me, durins: Burr's
struggle for Elsie's health and happi
ness, that ho was nutting up as grim
and Invincible h fight as in that game
of his years ago on the gridiron. He
bung on tight to his place in the law
firm. Doctors' and nurses' bills were
as constant an item in bis early mar
ried life as food and rent."

REVIEWS WILSON'S
POLICY /IS SERIES OF SHIFTS
President's Changes of Mind in Submarine Policy Cited;
Americans Still in Peril
Washington, Nov. S.—Ono hundred
and fifty men, women, and children
were killed by German and Austrian
submarines while President Wilson,
during a period of fifteen months, os
cillated from a policy of holding the
central powers to "strict accountabil
ity" to a policy of warning Americans
to shunt merchantmen of belligerent
nationality, and then back again.
Despite the President's threat to
sever diplomatic relations with Ber
lin last April, the menace to the safety
of Americans on the high seas con
tinue, to the alarm of the administra
tion and of the Democratic managers
who have devoted fourteen pages of
their campaign textbook to description
of Mr. Wilson's "great diplomatic
triumph" over Germany.
Official advices to the State depart
ment, carefully suppressed from the
public, disclose that the torpedoing
of merchantmen has continued with
steadily increasing activity ever since
the President dispatched his ultima
tum to Berlin, and Germany agreed
to modify its submarine warfare,
pending a demonstration of Mr. Wil
son's ability to force Great Britain to
lift the blockade.
Americans Still Imperiled
Only within the last week American
consuls have reported that two Ameri
cans were on the Strathtay, torpedoed
by a German submarine. Although no
lives were lost, this incident, together
with the discussion of the question in
the reichstag, arouses the fear among
administration officials that Germany
is .about to resume ruthless submarine
warfare.
Likewise, unknown to the public, a
serious situation is developing in the
relations of the United States and Aus
tria. Last June Mr. Wilson called
upon Vienna to apologize for the
shelling of the American steamship
Pctrolite, and the wounding of several
members of the crew by an Austrian
submarine, nearly a year ago. Aus
tria refused to apologize, in notes
suppressed by the State department,
and the administration now iJi hag
gling with Vienna over this question
of national honor.
Throughout the controversy the cen
tral powers have yielded in each in
stance just enough to prevent the
President at the time from breaking
diplomatic relations.
The Democratic managers contend
that the President's "ultimatum was
effective." They fail to explain, how
ever, why the solemn threat to sever
diplomatic realtlons would not have
been as potent as In April, 1916, had
it been made by the President in Feb
ruary, 1915, when Germany announc
ed its intentions, or even in April,
19' 5, after the first American had
been killed, on the torpedoed Falaba,
but before 114 American perished on
the Lusltanla.
Mr. Wilson ignored the deaths of
Americans on the Falaba and Gulf
light till after the liUsltanla tragedy
and then acted only after proclaiming
his conviction that there is such a
thing as being "too proud to fight."
Refusing to put the country in a state
of adequate defense and shifting his
attitude on the rights of Americans on
the high seas, he succeeded for fifteen
months only in convincing Germany
that, he did not mean what he said.
The vagarious course pursued by the

rine controversy with the central pow
ers is set forth graphically in the fol
lowing chronology:

HOT TEA BREAKS j
A COLD—TRY THIS
Get a small package of Hamburg
Breast Tea, or as tho German folks
call it, "Hamburger Brust Thee," at
any pharmacy. Take a tablespoonful
of the tea, put a cup of boiling water
upon it, pour through a sieve and
drink a teacup full at any time. It Is
the most effective way to break a
cold and cure grip, as it opens the
pores, relieving congestion. Also
loosens the bowels, thus breaking a
cold at once.
It is Inexpensive and entirely vege
table, therefore harmless.
