HONEYMOONS IN
L0N80N POPULAR
WITH SOLDIERS
Zepps May Come and the
Zepps May Go but the
God Cupid Works
on Forever.
LONDON, Oct. 9. -Since the great
conflict started here there have been
some strange alliances made, but
none stranger than that existing
in a very full measure between
.Mars and Cupid, who these days
and in this city are working over
time. Zepps may come and Zepps
may go. but weddings seem to go
on forever. The bridal suites in
most London hotels now is the
whole establishment, for with few
exceptions the entire guest list is
made up of honeymoon couples,
with the bridegroom clothed in kha
ki.
i.onuon can won iaj ciuiui uc
the greatest honeymoon center In
the world and it is all on account
of the war. One has to wear a uni
form to get a bride in England now,
and those who are too chicken
hearted to endure the trials of a
dugout man can not hope to share
in the joys of matrimony., at least
while the war is going on. The
Canadians are not lagging behind
in this respect, and on many hotel
registers there appears the name3
of Captain and Mrs. So and So and
So of Montreal, where the "Mrs."
has never yet seen the sky over
Montreal or any other part of Can
ada.
And the sweet, young bride3 as
they survey their hubbies, who they
would never have met but for the
war, sigh and say "It's an ill wind
that blows nobody good."

VICTIM OF A
MAN'S WRATH
I TELLS STORY
John Puz Is on Trial for,
Attempting to Kill I
Mrs. Milka
Sepich.
Tho trial o' John Puz, charged with
shooting, with intent to kill, started !
this morning in the District Court.
Mrs. Milka Sepich, who was tho
victim of the shooting, was on the
stand and the entire morning was
taken up with her testimony and
cross examination. Mrs. Sepich tes
tified that she was sitting in her
kitchen peeling apples when Puz
appeared and that she was still in
the same position when she was
struck by the bullet.
Mrs. Sepich testified that Puz
said, among other things, that he
was broke and was hungry and asked
her to give him $20. Mrs. Sepich
3aid she did not have that amount
and Puz then said, "I was good
enough to stay hero when I had
money, but now that I am broke 1
can't stay in your house."
A short time before the shooting
Puz had been ordered to leave by
the husband of Mrs. Sepich and the
two men had quarreled. The tcs
I tlmony disclosed the fact that Puz
was despondent over not receiving
mall from his wife and children In
he old country.
The testimony brought out the
: fact that Mrs. Sepich saw the re
volver in the hands of Puz shortly
before the shooting, but that she did
not think he was angry at her or
would harm her. She testified that
she heard the shots, and ran out
side. but she did not know she had
been hit at that time. She did not
see Puz shoot, and did not remem
ber anything after the shooting un
til she awoke in the hospital the
next day.
Considerable amusement was oc
casioned in court through the eager
ness of Kazlc Krauczunas, attorney
for the defendant. Mrs. Sepich
speaks no English and was forced
to testify through an interpreter.
Mr. Krauczunas is a fluent lingoist
and understood her answers to his
questions. In his eagerness to ques
tion the witness he would not give
the interpreter time to give her
answers to the jury before asking
the next question and several times
was obliged to apologise to the court
on that account.
The shooting occurred last spring
in a rooming house on Wllloughby
Avenue which is operated by Mrs.
sepich and her husband. Mrs. Sep
ich was struck twice by bullets,
once In the head an J once in the
left arm.
After the shooting Puz attempted
to commit suicide and for a long
time was in St. Ann's ospitnl, not
expected to live.
Late Saturday afternoon the Jury
was secured and consists of the fol
lowing:
L. Zcnger, Louis Karsten, P. C.
Jones. John Ahlers, Ike O'Meara, H.
H. Post, J. K. Neville, Perry Wiley,
A. M. Betterbuagh, Arthur Bald
win, D. C. Whitcford, and Edward
Kane.

I
CLAIMS SECOND SUB SEEN BY
BOAT'S CREW.
Newport, R. I., Oct. 9.?While it
is generally believed that the U-53
was primarily engaged in the tor-,
pedoing, Mrs. Henry B. Wilson, of
Williamstown, Mass., one of the
passengers on the St. Ephano, stated
that several members of the crew;
of the liner and one officer told i
her that they had distinctly seen the ;
attacking submarine through their
glasses and that it was the U-51. ..
SURVIVORS LANDED BY RES- j
CUE BOATS.
_
Newport, R. I., Oct. 9.?Scores
of the survivors of the British
9teamer St. Ephano were landed
here early this forenoon. All had,
only the clothes they were wear
ing at the time of the attack and
many were without any covering for
their heads, so hurriedly had they
been placed in the lifeboats in order
to make a quick leave of the
steamer.
A. C. Tickell, chief steward of the
St. Ephano. celebrated his third sub
marine sinking when he was taken
off the steamer. He was on the
Marquette, when she was sunk with
out warning in the Dardanelles, j
The Marquette was a troop ship and
Tickell wa9 a soldier at the time.
Shortly after Tickell was aboard
the transport Manitou which was
sunk off Natal by a German U-boat. j
Tickell was wounded at that time.
WERE AT DINNER WHEN THE
BOAT STRUCK.
Newport, Oct. 9.?Miss Elizabetli
Butler, of St. Johns, N. B., telling
of her experience on the St. Ephano
said: "I lost everything I owned
except what I have got on. It was
awful.
We had just sat down to supper
when suddenly we heard a shot.
Some one called that the ship had
been fired upon. Then I heard the
captain tell everyone to get their
life preservers on.
"I went below and put on a life
belt. There was no time to pick up
belongings as the officers urged the
utmost haste. As we went over
the side, we knew for certain that
a submarine had stopped our ship.
Some of the passengers could even
then hardly believe it. I lost $150,
all the money I have been able to
save."
GERMAN SUBMARINE PUT TO
SEA LATE SATURDAY.
Newport, R. I., Oct. 9.?The Ger
man submarine U-53 put to sea late
Saturday afternoon, after delivering
alleged letters of an official nature
to the post office here for delivery to
German Ambassador von Bernstorff.:
None of the crew, with the excep
tion of Hans Rose, came ashore.
The U-53, when she departed, sub
merged within the three-mile limit,
according to those watching her
movements.
SKEPTICAL ABOUT SUB MAKING
ATLANTIC TRIP.
New Orleans, Oct. 9.?Steamer of
ficials here do not believe that the
U-53 made the trip across the At
lantic. There is a well confirmed
rumor that a base of the Germans is
located somewhere on the Gulf of
Mexico and that submarines are be
ing assembled there.
STOCK MARKET DEMORALIZED
New York, Oct. 9.?The German
activity off the coast of the United
States had an immediate effect on
the puse of American business as
reflected in financial and stock cen
ters here today.
The stock market opened in a
state bordering on a panic. Marine
insurance rates underwent the heav
iest advance since in early months
:of the war, and cotton prices broke
| badly and others feared interference
with shipments to Europe.
The stock market was demoralized
at the opening when the standard
issues as well as war stocks broke
five, ten and twelve points on the
enormous liquidation.
.. LONDON MAKES A REPORT
.LONDON. Oct. 9.?Terming It as
an evidence that Germany Is no long
er planning but has actually re
sumed the sinking of merchantmen

gave out today an official report
received from the swo ships sunk
off the coast of England. The first
steamer was the Anna Lea sunk
Saturday off Bergen. Her officers
report that the submarine attackoi
the vessel without warning with
gun fire. The second was the case
of the Brltsh steamship Hasting
sunk by gun fire on October 5th
without any warning. The majority
of the two crews were saved.
