Dilluaioncd, Mrs. Florence Hrainnrtl Grimwood of Chevy Chase, Md., bi ought suit for annulment in the Supreme Court at Ncnv York of her marriage to William F. G. Grimwood, whom she loved for the dangers she thought ho had endured. Grimwood, who is now in England, posed as an English officer and was feted by Washington and New York thr? wifY* who is t\VOn ty-four. He was never in the British Army and never faced danger, she adds. His real name is given as William Robert Archer. The case presents such a maze of tangled lives as has rarely come before the court. Wound Stripes Impressed Her. Miss Florence Brainard came to Now York on a visit July 5, 1916, and was introduced to the man she was very soon to marry. He was being entertained as a hero of the war and was prominent at the Allied Bazaar, she says. Woumf stripes on his uniform spoke of his sacrifices for his country. In telling how she was impressed by the Englishman's reception, the complaint says: "The glamor which surrounded the defendant (Grimwood) and the sympathy excited by the honorable wounds which he professed to have voeni iro/1 /\n f lin l\nf f 1 a/1 f a i 'aui vii tnu xv ivi lull till.: plp.intiff (Miss Brainard) to listen to his proposals of marriage?proposals which soon became importunities as the defendant further represented lie was compelled shortly to return to England that it was essential to hithappiness that she go with him as his wife." Grimwood told her he was a widow or. with two daughters, twelve and fourteen years old, that he had once stood for Parliament, and that iie had a substantial income, the wife alleges. Mrs. Grimwood says she hesitated at these proposals, not because she suspected her suitor, but she wanted to be sure of the depth of her own love. Her parents had never met him,. Wed 22 Days After Coming Here. The supposed hero of many battles wooed with an ardor equivalent to his self-credited valor, and won the girl's consent to marriage. The ceremony was performed in the Little Church Around the Comer July 27, 191(5, just twenty-two days after her arrival i*: New York. In the morning of the wedding day the girl called her parents on the telephone and told them of her inLaif iA<ne A ff f Un e/-?? /!?^r.n if cUo U IltlVIIA* WIV, V-lliVli; OHV l sent a telegram announcing that she was Mrs. Grimwood.

She relates that her family was delighted at the Englishman's charm of manner. They went back to Bronxville and extended their honeymoon until Thanksgiving. She then went to her parents, while he went about the 1 country raising money for war re- 1 lief organizations. They met in various cities and the wife relates they 1 were very happy. Shocked When He Is Arrested. Mrs. Grimwood says she was * shocked when on Jan. 7, 1917, her f husband was arrested in Washington 1 on a charge of obtaining money un- ( der false pretenses. She relates that ho was sent to the Washington Asy- 4 lum and Jail for medical treatment * and was there until Nov. 5 of the 1 same year. She asserts he was tried * and sentenced to three years in the penitentiary, but she adds this was r susnended and he was allowed tr? <rn 1 ? hv on probation. w t A small force of French troops stationed in the Neutral zone between Hungary and Roumania has been attacked by Hungarian troops.

Ulor Battalion consisted of the Sumter Guards, the Washington Light Infantry, the Irish Volunteers and the Fusiliers, all from Charleston. The Horse Battalion was composed of two companies from Columbia, the Governor's Guards and the Columbia Ligtyt Infantry, and also the Darlington Guards from Darlington. The organization was trained at Camp Sevier and was a part of the Thirtieth Division. It went overseas with the Fifty-fifth Field Artillery Brigade of the Thirtieth Division, trained in western France, and about the middle of August went to the front. It was first attached to the Eightyninth Division in the famous St. Mihiel drive. The brigade then moved up the line to near the Argonne and was engaged there in heavy fighting until about the middle ot October. From there it moved bade down the line, and until and after the a. mistiee was signed, was in the Troy on sector.

It was then detached, rejoined the Thirtieth Division and Sli iled for home. The ammunition train service is an exceedingly hard service and called for the display of the finest degree of courage. Without the opportunity to fight back, they were constantly under shell fire and gas going to the front with ammunition and likewise returning to the rear. Very frequently the men were out with ammunition for periods of from .'16 to 48 hours, travelling at night, running their trucks and driving their horses without lights, and with neither food nor rest. Despite the hardship this service the men eargely sought it and were never satisfied to remain in camp, but constantly wantid to be going to the front.

HORRYITE PRAISES OUR UNCLE'S NAVY Dear Editor:? w:.ll you kindly publish chis letter in your paper? I am an Horry boy, I and wish to say a few words about j the U. S. Navy, and what it has done. On that fatal day, April 6, 1917, the American nation, after showing unlimited patience, rebelled against the vicious warfare that the German Emp.re was waging against the neutral shipping of the United States and their subjects travelling upon the high seas and threw off the mantle of peace and cast their lot with the Allied Nations of ^rflreat Britain, France, and Italy. It seems as Germany forgot that America had produced a Paul Jones, a Farragut, a Dewey, and a Fighting Bob Evans, and reached out with her submarine | aim to control the seas, ordering us I to disguise our ships as barber poles, she was soon to learn that the Americans were all Paul Joneses and Deweys. And that the Country had ' a'ro produced a Wood row Wilson. | Det'ore she had realized what she i |ha<l stirred up the first troop covnoy ! | by the U. S. Cruiser Force, under the .

The way the Navy performed this work and the efficiency displayed in doing it is now a matter of history which all may read. Great has been the experience of these men* who have had the privilege to take part in this great work and who now proudly wear the gold bars of service well done. But, less we forget, they did not all return. While knowing the living, let us pause in respectful silence and think of our heroic dead. Those heroes who went down on the "Antilles," the "President Lincoln," and who ded at their post on the Mount Vernon when the torpedo entered her boiler rooms; The Navy expects every man to stand at his post until relieved by victory or death. 1 The Navy's traditions have been < upheld, and again the recording an- < gel takes up the golden pen to plaeo < upon the roll of honor the names of i those who have died for a just cause, ] and a righteous one?the freedom of the seas to all forever. j ?Ivy L.

The "i ti i * ./ouector nopes, as he may be com- ^ tolled at any time to withdraw these ^ Kputy Collectors from the field, hat those who may desire informalon will not put off obtaining same intil the last moment, but will seek ut deputies assigned to their counics as early as possible.
