,, MARRIAGE RITES IN PRISON CAMP Culmination of Pre-War Romance Occurs in Russia Warsaw, July 15.—Nuows of tha marriage in Moscow of Count Szech- neuyl, a lieutenant in the Hungarian cavalry, who is still being held a pris- oner by the Bolsheviki, to Princess Golicyn, a member of one of the old- €st Russian families, has just been received here. Count Szechnenyl is a cousin’ of Count Lazlo Szechneny| who married Miss Gladys Vanderbilt of New York At the beginning of the war he was o lieutenant in ths Hungarian cav- alry and was taken prisoner by the Xusslans on the Galician front in 1915. He is about 27 years old. Details of the wedding were brought to Warsaw by Doctor Sigbond Jane- zura, formerly a dentist in Detroit, Mich., who served in the Polish army, was captured by the Dplsheviki and released from the Moscaw prison early in June. Count Szechnenyi was a prisor com- panion of Colonel Merion C. Cooper of Jacksonville, Fla., of the Koscius. zko air squadron who escaped from | Russia this spring. The romance having had its incep- tion prior to the World war while the young woman was vVisiting in Con- stantinople near where Count Szech- nenyi's father has a palace and a vast estate. Princess Golicyn returned to Russian several years ago, upon learn- ing that Count Szechnenyi was a pris- oner and since has been endeavoring to aid in gaining his freedom and sending him food whenever possible. It is no easy matter to arrange a marriage by a prisoner in a Bolshe- vik prison camp. Month after month the Soviet authorities refused to give their consent. When it was obtained the ceremony was first performed by a Soviet commissar and afterward a religious marriage was performed in a Greek orthodox church in Mos- cow. Although the Count had many friends among the prisoners none was allowed to attend the wedding. Instead of a friend as best man there was a Bolshevik soldier guard. The Count. with four armed soldiers at his sides, marched through® the walled prison gate to the commissar’s office where he met his bride attend- ed by several girl friends. The Count wore the same prison garb which he had worn for months. Immediately atter the church serv- jce the Count was marched back to prison, his bride accompanying him to the prison gates. The next morn- ing the bride was permitted to visit her husband and with the Count’s prison friends, sat down to a wedding breakfast—a wedding breakfast of Standard Reduced 4o Garden TEAS in price Ib i COFFEE } ~°~ 233, 1]k Large 10c g';':" Evap.

NO PEACE, NO PAY, WORKS VERY WELL British Adopt This Method in Dealing With Arabs ndon, July 15.—aA nove! work- ing arrangement on the “no peace, no pay” principle has been entered into by the British government with the Wahabl, a powerful Arabian des- ert tribe. The Wahabi are nomads and begond to a sect which Colonia! Secretary Winston Churchill deescrik- ed in the House of Commons as “bearing the same relation to ortho- dox Islam as the most militant forms o Calvinism would have borne to Rome in the fiiercest times of the re- ligious wara.” They are, ho said, austere, intoler- ant, weil-armed and bloodthirsty and | they regard it as an article of duty |as well as of faith to kill all who do not share their opinions. Moreover, they are very dangerous to the holy cities of Mecca and Medina, and the whole institution of the pilgrimage. The finances of the Shereef of Mec- ca, who enjoys British protection, have suffered grievously by the in- terruption of the pilgrimages. There- fore, to assist him and King Hussein of the Hedjaz, who has been in con- stant warfare with the ‘“Arabjan Cal- vinists,” the latter are to receive 60,000 pounds cash annually, so long as they refrain from annoying their neighbora and do not interfere with the candidacy of Hussein’s son, the Emir. Feisul, for the rulership of the new Mesopotamian state. Colonel Lawrence of the Colonial Office who has lived among the Wa- habi for years, told an interviewer that they were indeed a most violent people. They are, he said, fanatical- ly Mohammedan and would Kkill their men and women, for smoking even a cigarette. The way they correct their women is to tie them up in bags and beat them unmercifully with palm canes. Each man has three wives. Should any of them go out of doors, the code allows him to have her put to death. This 19 beocause they believe that if any other man looks at her she is contaminated and that if a woman goes outside her home she is certain to_go wrong. Wearing a silk dress or any costly finery, precious stones or metals, is also a penal offense. “In no sense are they a decadent people,” Colonel Lawrence concluded. “They are virile and as austere as they are bloodthirsty and brave. It should be cheap at 60,000 pounds a year to buy their goodwill and to keep them quiet.”” The latter view, however, does not meet with universal acceptance. Many taxpayers would prefer to see the end of all British commitments in Mesopotamia. REFUSED NATURALIZATION. Alleged Immoral Character Is Basis of Court’s Adverse Action. New York, July 15.—Rudolph Friml, composer of the scores of a dozen popular musical comedies, was denled naturalization papers yester- day by, Supreme Court Justice Finch because his second wife, Blanche Bet- ters Friml, obtained a divorce in this stats three years ago. Justice Finch held that as the com- poser had been found guilty of in- fidelity he could not grant final pa- pers to him under that clause of the Naturalization Law which provides that witnesses for an applicant must certify he has been of good charac- ter for five years previous to the application. Court attendants and lawyers said this is the first time to their knowl- edge that a court has held infideliy a bar to naturalization. HAYS JUMPS RATES. Hereafter Pricc of Special Delivery ‘Will Be Quarter, Not Ten Cents. ‘Washington, July 15.—The cost of sending a special delivery letter is to be raised from 10 cents to 25 cents. Postmaster General Hays, in mak- ing the change, is doing so on the supposition that the general public will prefer to pay the higher charge for better service than that which can be rendered under the present scale, with one messenger getting a batch of letters, with the result that often a special delivery letter takes longer than an ordinary one. With the new fee in operation it will be possible to send s messenger with each letter. The rural communities also are to have better service, the intection be- ing to notity addressees, wherever possible, by telephone that 2 special delivery letter is at the postoffice.

[ I T Tt L LOST BATTALION PAST DESIRABLE Japanese Newspaper Believes That Such an Arrangement Would go Far Toward World Peace Tokio, July 15.—THhe recent refnark in the London Times says the Jiji Shimpo, that nothing would be impos- sible when Britain succeeds in main- taining friendly_ relations with the American and Japanese nations is a most powerful endorsement that an Angle-American-Japanese entente is the greatest cardinal element in the preservation of world peace. The Jiji continues: “The Japanese are quite aware that a triple entente among Britain, Amer- ican and Japan is essential to e maintenance of world peace and also that such an entente is possible only through an agreement regarding the naval armament limitation. It is true ther are some knotty diplomatic prob- lems between Japan and the United States. But this does not in the least justify the conclusion that it would be waste of time angd effort for the two powers to arrive at an agreement for a naval holiday.” The Kokumin sys that the question of armament limitation is quite ripe. “It has passed from the stage of argu- ment into that of practice, since both Britain and Japan have repeatedly had_occasion to declare publicly. their resolution to support a restriction policy if only presented by the United States. It thus only wants Americaa decision to bring this aH important agreement into existence.” LOST BATTALION SAVIOR HONORED Full Military Honors Accorded Jack Munson at Funeral Services in New York Today New York, July 15.—Full military honors marked the funeral today of Privte John J. Munson, hero of the lost battalion who died in Bellevue hospital after being taken ill while on leave of absence from his post in the regular army.

As soon as it became kown that he was the man who on September 18, 1918 carried the message through the German lines that reunited the lost battalion in the Argonne, scores of civic organizations planned that fitting honors migth be paid him at his funeral. Today a column five blocks long marched behind the caisson that carried the body to the Church of Ascension, where a high requiem mass was said, and thence to Cypress Hills cemetery, where military services were held. Boston Boys March In Ice Cream Protest Boston, July 15.—The boys of Bos- ton have always resented anything that interfered with their seasonal en- jeyment.In 1775 they braved the wrath of the British Gen.

New York, July 15.—The Duell law, giving preference to World War vet- erans in civil service in New York, was declared unconstitutional by the court of appeals.

St. Louis, Mo., July 15.—The Fla- voring Extract Manufacturers' Asso- ciation, in convention here, was asked t: make extracts so they would be unfit for intoxicating beverage pur- poses.
