at once, efforts were made while the troops were encamped at Seagirt, N. to have the ceremony performed by proxy. This was found to be impossible under the laws of that state. So Bansemcr left for tlio border, still sin gle. Undaunted, the young couple increas ed their determination to marry at once.

On July 0 Miss Scrgent appeared before a notary public and signed marriage contract, which wos sent by registered mall to Bnusemer at Douglas, Ariz. Both her lawyer and the marriage clerk at Newark express ed the opinion that such a procedure was perfectly legal and binding, being the same as a common law murringe. On receipt of the papers Bunsemer appeared before a notary at Douglas and signed the contract, completing every detail of the marriage ceremony. The papttoTwefe at oifce sent tack to Newark, and when Frivate Bansemer returns he will be greeted by his bride. Sergeant J.

C. Clark of Company witnessed Bnnsemer sign the papers. Company II, on hearing of the mar riage, arranged a wedding breakfast, consisting largely of Salt pork, and at 5 o'clock on a hot morning on the frontier the entire company celebrated and drank distilled water to the health of tho in their midst and the bride in faraway Jersey. Kid M'Coy Fights. A crowd wns on hand to watch the famous Kid McCoy engaged at sentry duty with Company of the Seventy-first of New York.

Company boasts another athlete in Nick Glannkopola, the Greek runner, who officiates as cook. McCoy was matched with "Scrape per" Dooley of New York for a four round sparring match. With the arrival of General O'ltyan the border will commence to resound with the roar of artillery and rifle fire. Practice range shooting Is to be carried on at a scale never before attempted by the national guard. There are to be no weak links if the call comes to move down that seven miles of dusty road to the Rio Grande.

To help make that hike in record time the Seventh has produced the following marching song: When wo come back from Mexico, When we come back from war. The national guard can go to hell, We won't enlist no more. We'll get -a bath and change our clothes And truly, by the Lord, We'll hop Into a Jitney bus And vote for Henry Ford. His Wife Wasn't Dependent. A New York private swept out the quarters of the regimental staff.

With broom in hand he labored with such a will and such seeming joy in doing a hard duty that he was asked about it "If you're going to be a soldier you might as well go the whole way," he answered. "I see the necessity for doing this, so I do it. What was I before I turned soldier? Why, I was an exploration engineer for a big Wall street house. I thought that, being a young man, I ought to do my bit for my country, so I came away." "Rookie?" one asked him. "Yes," he answered.

"I bought my own outfit at a supply store. They weren't going to bring me." He was writing a picture postcard to his wife. "Yes," he said, "I'm married. Here's a picture of my little girl. They asked me about her when I enlisted.

They asked if my salary would go on. I told them no, it wouldn't. They told me I better go back to my wife and support her. Then I had to tell 'em what I didn't like to that my father left me $036,000 when he died eight months ago and my wife wouldn't be exactly dependent." SV. t- Expedition Hunts $1,000,000 Cargo Lost Four Years Ago.

EXPERT DIVERS GOING DOWN If First ProvM Suocsssful Othsr Sunken Craft Will Explored and Efferta to Find Valuables Will Be Made New Company Financed by Wall Street Men. A scientific treasure trove expedition backed by wealthy Wall street men, under command of a United States naval expert and advised by govern roent submarine authorities, has reach ed Its operating base. The first objective point of the expedition is the deep sea grave of the Ward liner Merida, which was rammed four years ago by the United Fruit steamship Ad mlral Farragut and went down fifty five miles off the Cape Charles light, carrying to the bottom a cargo of sliver bars and other treasure valued at more than 11,000,000. The expedition includes the steam ships Tltiana, Fearless and P. H.

Beck-wltb, a wrecking vessel, a yacht and a tug, and is under command of George D. Stillson, for many years in charge of government diving work and the man who raised the submarine F-4 in Honolulu harbor last year. George D. Stillson, the commander of the expedition. Is regarded by navy department experts as the greatest authority on deep sea apparatus in the United States.

He left the government service last winter to superintend the submarine operations of a private film project to photograph under the sea a production of Jules Verne's story "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under tho Sea." He has with him on the treasure hunt the government divers and submarine experts who aided him in the film production and in the raising of the F-4 at Honolulu. These divers are equipped with new deep sea apparatus which does not require lines or air hose connections, and which makes possible long hours of work at great depths. Bullion Worth $600,000. The first work of the treasure seekers will be to recover the silver bullion from the Merlda. This part of the cargo alone is said to be valued at $600,000.

The purser's safe, containing the money and valuables Intrusted to him by the passengers, will be haul-. ed to the surface as soon as practicable. this first undertaking is carried oufc-as-'rapMlyend'Sucoessfully as its- promoters believe possible the treasure seeking expedition will turn its attention to other ships wrecked on the 'Atlantic coast which are known to contain treasure. The scope of the work will be extended to the salvage of ships sunk by submarines during the Euro pean war. Government experts here estimate that more than 00 per cent of the ships sunk at sea are in water 800 feet or less in depth.

Navy department authorities say that the Stillson expedition is equipped with apparatus that makes salvage at 300 feet entirely possible. HOW FARMERS ARE AIDED BY RURAL CREDITS BILL Procedure Necessary to Secure a Loan From the Government. Here is what a farmer who needs money can do under the rural credits bill, which was signed recently by the president: First, he must join what is to be known as a National Farm Loan association, paying in $5 for one of its shares for each $100 he wishes to borrow. He has one vote a share, but not to exceed ten votes in all. Next, he applies to the association for the loan, giving his personal note therefor, secured by a first mortgaga on bis farm.

If the association approves the loan it turns the note mortgage (o a land bank. The land bank sends the amount of the loan to the association, which hands the money to the farmer. No commission, brokerage or rakeoff is charged the borrower. No single loan is to be for less than $100 or more than $10,000, nor for less than five years or more than forty years. The loan must not exceed 6Q per cent, and preferably should not go beyond 50 per cent of the market value of the land covered by the mortgage.

The borrower pays semiannually the interest on bis note, plus an instalment of the principal. He must not be charged over 6 per cent Interest Each National Farm Loan association must have at least ten members, and it cannot begin business with less than $20,000 in loans applied for. It Is illegal, under severe penalties, for any officer, committeeman or member to accept any commission, fee or perquisite of any kind for granting any loan. The only paid officer Is a secretary-treasurer. Money can be borrowed by this system in order to pay for agricultural land, equipment, fertilizers, live stock, buildings and improvement or to discharge a prior mortgage.

The land bank may charge the borrowing farmer only 1 per cent more than the rate it gets on its bonds. This margin of one point is to cover expenses and profits. Ex-Chief Peter T.

SCHWAB'S BIG OPERATIONS. Has New $200,000 Plant 8otely to Make Boxes to Ship 8hrapnel In, 8eoreoy Marks the Deals, and It Is Difficult to Estimate Just What Amount Has Been Expended Here, America, from Chicago east, Is now on the shady side of $3,000,000,000 in all its war orders, counting blankets, machinery, locomotives and other prod nets not coming strictly under tho bead of munitions.

Twenty-four corporations alone ac count for more than $1,000,000,000 up to Feb. 1 of this year. This figure Is said to be "highly conservative." In other words, this item, comprising scarcely one-third of the country's war receipts, is equal to the entire national debt of the United States, with 140 years of existence behind it during which It financed four wars of its own, Innumerable congressional "pork barrels" and satisfied the wants of a population of lOO.OOO.OiJO, or as many people as France and Germany have combined. Official reports from the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce at Washington show that shipments of wnr munitions up to date have aggregated $440,000,000. These figures cover munitions in the strictest sense of the word.

They do not include locomotives, blankets, rails, machines for guninaking or other materials- of this class which are Indispensable to the nations as part of their war supplies. It must be remembered also that a tremendous amount of war orders already placed will not begin to run before tho fall and next year. of these contracts call for delivery as late as 1018. The Philadelphia district, taking in South Bethlehem and Wilmington, stands credited with $1,000,000,000 all by Itself. -As nearly as can be computed, for nothing enn be learned accurately with the munitions makers tied lip and tongue by the allies, fear of labor disturbances and other factors.

Including the government, tbe Baldwin Locomotive works have received, either directly or Indirectly, for the Eddystone Munitions company orders amounting to approximately Beside this the company will participate In royalties of at least from the Remington Arms coni-pnny plant at Eddystone, not to speak of two buildings which revert to it on tho termination of the war. $60,000,000 Worth of Orders. The Midvale Steel and Ordnance company, so William P. Barba, vice president of the NIcetown plant, testified before the bouse committee on naval affairs on March 2.1, was working on $00,000,000 worth of war contracts. At that time the Remington Arms plant had not started work on the second order for 2,000,000 rifles for the allies, which, it Is understood, the company took at $10.20 apiece, or a matter of $32,400,000 for the whole contract.

In the Midvale business must be included the orders taken by the Cambria Steel company, which, consol-idated with the Midvale, brought a dower of rail contracts. The war orders of the Bethlehem Steel corporation at one time at least were an open book. They ore placed at $300,000,000 up to February last. Charles M. Schwab, the salesman extraordinary of the war order business, made no secret of scalping the cream of the allies' business before J.

P. Morgan made such a bargain as to be appointed the virtual representative of the foreign group. And to prove that his profits were not mere paper figuring Schwab is reported to have gone so far as to distribute Christmas presents of anywhere from $100,000 to to "deserving employees." One of these to receive the "cross of gold" to the extent of $1,000,000 as a bonus, it la said, was E. Q. Grace, president of the company.

Other "boys" fared proportionately depending on the way. in which they had dug up their talents to further "getting out the stuff." The Bethlehem Steel corporation has produced munitions far In excess of any other plant in the country. Its payroll now equals 55,000 men. Only tho other day Schwab announced he had a war fund of $70,000,000. Bethlehem's output averages 350,000 shells of all calibers a month.

These include the English "three 29's," sixty pounders, ten inch explosives, naval projectiles for England and a large order of-the famous "75's." In addition to finished shells it is making accurately rolled bars out of which England and France will cut shrapnel billets. It is said that the price of an English 329 or a French 75 at Bethlehem is $12,000, while a sixty pound gun is reputed to bring $22,000. The Du Pont company, at Wilmington, next to Schwab, is said to be the big profit maker with a foreign war account of more than $200,000,000. The profits arising from this business can be appreciated when It is known that powder brings $1.10 a pound. As given out it costs something in the neighbor hood of 30 cents a pound to manufacture this explosive.
