CHAMBERSBURG BOY, WOUNDED, GIVES UP BLOOD PARIS, July 3. - A fine example of sacrifice has just been shown by Ethelbert Warfield, son of Dr. W. E. Warfield, of Chambersburg, Pa.

CRIES AS LICENSE TO WED IS DENIED Ten minutes of disappointment temporarily shattered plans for the wedding tonight of Henry Clay Bond, 643 Boas street, and Cleone V. Skelton, of Pittsburgh, both colored, because when they applied at the Court House for a marriage license the prospective bride said she is under age, 20 years old, her mother is dead, her father is somewhere in Ohio and she had no legal guardian. When the clerk arbitrarily but politely said: "I cannot issue the license," young Bond, who also is but 20 years old and had his mother give her "consent to the match, buried his face in his hands and began crying aloud. "Don't cry, Henny, don't cry," his mother pleaded. The bride-to-be probably would have broken into tears when Henry's mother began to explain that all the wedding plans are complete and the guests have been invited to attend the ceremony tonight but the license clerk suggested that possibly Judge Kunkel could straighten matters out. And Judge Kunkel did. Mrs. Rosy Wade, the girl's aunt, practically reared the girl in her Pittsburgh home, because the mother died many years ago and when the aunt told that to Judge Kunkel he consented to appoint her as guardian. The aunt then sanctioned the match, and the happy couple left the court House. Newport Lutheran Pastor's Wife Dies NEWPORT, July 3. - Mrs. William C.

Corporal Mountz Is in Hospital in France Mrs. Leroy Mount, 2013 Logan street, received information last evening that her husband, Corporal Leroy Mountz, of the 112th Infantry, is in a base hospital "somewhere in France." In the message no mention is made of the nature of his ailment, but it is thought he is confined to the hospital by illness. This opinion prevails because it is not known that the unit to which he was attached has yet seen active fighting service. Since his enlistment a son has been born to Mr. and Mrs. Mountz. The father has never seen his boy because he was unable to obtain a furlough from Camp Hancock, on account of the uncertain sailing date of his unit.

Brown, 38 years old, attempted suicide late last night in his home by sticking the edge of a safety razor blade into his throat, just below the Adam's apple, partially severing his windpipe. He was detected in time to save his life temporarily, although Dr. H. C. Myers, who was immediately called on the case, stated this morning that because of the serious physical condition of the man and the loss of blood that he would not live more than a day or two. It is believed that the man became despondent over his illness and that terrible suffering unbalanced his mind. He had been in the Hamburg Sanitarium for some time, but the physicians there had not been able to cure him and he was sent to his home here last week.
