Camp Sevier, July 22.?l.ee P.
Gooch, star outfielder of the Philadelphia
Athletics, is attendeing the
fourth oflicers* training caiup at Sevier.
Of course he Is making good
and his record thus far is like unto
that he made as a baseball player of
the bit leagues. Gooch has pnirn?<vl
in a number of baseball games and
other athletic contests since he began
training as a soldier. Each
t'me he showed his old time form.
Due to the fact, however, that his
military duties are very strenuous
ami arduous, he has not taken as
great a hand in the national game as
Sevier soldier fans would like.
Asked if he contemplated going
back into the game after the war,
C.ooch said he didn't know. "1 guess |
I will, though," he said. "That is t
provided I am perfectly sound and
my nerve hasn't been shattered by
the rumble of the big guns. And
buddy, this soldier game is a far cry
from baseball?believe me."
First Lieut. Herbert H. Horner,
ramp reclamation ollicer at Camp Sevier,
was married Saturday afternoon
to Miss Julia Frances Hall, of
Alexandria, Ind. The ceremony was
performed at the First Haptist (
church in Greenville, the Rev. Georgo
VV. Quick, I). I). officiating. The
marriage is the climax to a pretty
romance that began when Lieuten- '
ant Horner was stationed at Camp
(
fcachary Taylor, Louisville. A barbecue
was given the soldiers, and
many young ladies were in attendance.
Here the lieutenant and his
bride met. Following the cereniony
a wedding supper was served
at the hotel ImDerial in Greenville
Among those in attendance on the
ceremony were: Lieut. and Mrs
Yates, Lieut, and Mrs. Adams, Lieut. I
Felker, Mrs. E. M. Hoke. Mrs. William
Heattie, Perry Heattie and Miss '
Carolina Spencer. i|
The first wedding ever taking
place at the hostess house at Camp
Sevier occurred at 10 o'clock Tuesday
morning when Miss Annie L.
Goodloe, of Mobile, Ala., was married
to Private Guy W. Ashley,
headquarters company, .'124th infantry.
Lieutenant Randolph, chaplain
of the 324th, officiated, and the ceremony
was attended by a number of
soldier friends of the young people.
Miss Goodloe came to Camp Sevier
Monday from Mobile to marry her;I
sweetheart who expects to leave soon
for service overseas. Immediately
after the ceremony she returned to
Mobile.

It was made plain that the smashg
attack of Franco-American
rces on the Aisne-Marne line is as
t regarded as only a minor opera>n
in comparison to what is to
me. The success of the drive
unched by General Foch, however,
s already been startling. Official
ports from Paris said 17,000 pris- (
ters and 3 60 nuns had been capred.
The Berlin statement admit1
French advances but ignored

erman people that American arles
are already fighting over a

over veteran German divisns.
Reports late In the day from Lon>n

vances had been made by the
