For those who do not understand
the distinction between officers ap
pointed to the infantry in. the na
tional afny and those appointed in
the infantry" section of the officers'
reserve corps, the following explana
tion issued by the War department
may be enlightening: -
"Officers graduated from the train
ing camps are appointed to the offi
cers reserve corps because they will
thus become available for call into
service after the present war. They
will be detailed from the reserve
corps to ' command units in the: na
tional army . or . regular, army, but- at
the conclusion of hostilities will be
retained in the reserve corps and
returned to the inactive list. Those
officers appointed directly from the
training camps to the national army
will be mustered out after the war
and will not be automatically avail
able in the event of any subsequent
need
"The War department has, there
fore, adopted the policy of appoint
ing lo the .officers reserve corps all
men whose age permits and who are
otherwise satisfactory, j,ne maximum
age limits for appointment to the of
ficers' reserve corps are: For major,
45: for captain; 40; for first lieutenant,
36; for second lieutenant, 32. There
is no age limit . ior appointment ot
officers to the national army;"

w
AR-TIME brides, especially
the brides of the newly com
missioned officers home,, on
furlough, are paramount in
interest at the present moment. En
gagements that caught even Dame
Gossip unawares are .revealed: bv
wedding announcements of the last
few days. Some of the orettv little
brides will accompany their soldier
husbands to Des Moines, as most of
the men are ordered to Camp Dodge J
others will remain at Kbme with their
parents when the bugte calls the men
to duty.
Lieutenant Robert N. Proudfit of
Friend, Neb., ws the first of the
Fort Snelling officers to wed. Only
Thursday morning the men arrived,
but Thursday afternoon Lieutenant
Proudfit's' bride, Miss Margharita
Carpenter,' was ready for the cere
mony, which -the Rev. Edwin Hart
Jenks performed at the home of the
bride's mother, Mrs.' Frank W. Car
penter. . ' 1 .. ,
One is not surprised at ihe almost
military precision and dispatch w hich
characterized this wedding, for the
bride,, a graduate of the University
of Omaha last June, comes of a mili
tary family, vfter father is now in
Manila, for he is department governor
of the Philippines. Her : brother,
Frank W. Carpenter, jr.; also" won a
lieutenant's comnfission at Fort Snell
ing, and arrived 'home in time to be
present at the wedding. The cere
mony was performed beneath a large
American nag, flags also being used
throughout the rooms. Both the
groom and his best man wore their
new khaki uniforms. " i
The young couple wiU spend Lieu
tenant Proudfit's twelve days of
leave between Omaha and Friend,
Neb., with his parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Robert Proudfit. " ' ' ,
Lieutenant Proudfit, who Is a Uni

Chi, has been called to service-at
Camp Dodge, in Iowa, as has also
Lieutenant Carpenter. Mrs. Carpenter
expects to spend part of the fall with
her children at Camp Dodge.
Lieutenant Oldham Paisley of the
officers' reserve camp at Fort Sher
idan, 111,, was the second bridegroom
of the newly-commissioned men. His
marriage to Miss Annetta Nourse
took place Saturday evening at the
home of the bride's brother and sister,
Robert F. Nourse and Miss Myra
Nourse. Lieutenant Paisley has been
assigned to the training camp of the
draft army at Rockford, III., at which
post'tlie young couple will probably
make their home for the present.
Lieutenant Paisley is -an Omaha
boy, a graduate of the Omaha High
school, though for the last few years
he and his parents, Mr. .and Mrs. W.
O Paisley, have been -Hying at Mar
ion, 111., where the young army offi
cer, was city editor of the Daily Re
publican. , i
' Still another interesting wedding of
early Saturday morning, was the cer
emony which united Lieutenant Don
ald J. Burke, who received his com
mission at. Plattsmquth last year, and
Miss Ivy May Lee, daughter of Mr.
and .'Mrs.,. George H. Lee. Rev.
Father Hugh Gately performed the
ceremony at St. Cecelia's cathedral at
6 o'clock. Lieutenant Burke's brother
and Sister Paul and Maragret Burke,
were the only attendants.,
'.The bride wore an oyster white silk
suit with large, black picture hat and
a corsage of Ophelia roses. After the
ceremony there was a breakfast at the
bride's home for members of the fam
ilies. Lieutenant Burke, who is the son of
Mrs. Finley Burke, is an honor grad
uate of Creighton university in the
law. department.- After receiving his
commission ,at Plattsmouth he - was
assigned to duty at Fort ' Snelling.

Whether . his bride will accompany
him to Camp Dodge is not definite.
Friday -morning at a breakfast to
which Miss Anna McConnell of
Council Bluffs invited some twenty
of her young girl friends, announce
ment was made of her approaching
marriage on Thursday to Lieutenant
Harry Jennings, son of Dr. and Mrs.
H. C. .Jennings, who received his
commission at Fort Snelling. The
wedding will take place at the First
Methodist church, at 8:30 o'clock and
will be followed by a reception at the
home of the bride's parents, Mr. and
Mrs. W. E. McConnell,1 making this,
perhaps, the most pretentious of the
war-time weddings.
Announcement of Miss McCon
nell's wedding date was made in the
most ' chaining manner. The break
fast was a pink one with bowls ; of
pink flowers decorating the one large
table and two smallet. Ones at which
the guests were seated. At each
place was a heart-shaped pink card
.tied with pink tulle, bearing the pho-
F. 1 . t . 1. . . . 1 .
lograpns or me iwo young people
and below it their wedding date.
Guests at the luncheon were the
Misses Mary Mitchell, Mary Stillman,
Elsie, Gertrude and Beatrice Tinley,
Grace McGee, Helen McJ.nerny, Mar
ion Saunders, Gertrud Wheeler,
Madge and Fern Clark, Clara Hart
and her guest, Miss Dorothy Headley
of. New Bedford, Mass.; Lorine
Campbell. Angela Shukert, Mrs. Ber
nard Beno and Mrs. Earl Baird.
A pretty feature of the wedding is
the fact that the bride's grandfather,
the Rev. Dr. Stephen L. Phelps of
Bellevue. Neb., will perform the cere
mony. Two of the bridesmaids are
Council Bluffs girls, Miss Mary Still-man-and
Miss Mary Mitchell. The
other two, who arrive Monday, are

Brief Furlough
Virginia Stubbs of Des Moines, Lieu
tenant Jennings is having difficulty
in securing the presence of the men in
his wedding party, al most of them
are 1 commissioned men, training in
different officery. camps all over the
country. Lieutenant Jennings ' at
tended Culver Military academy and
later Ames college. v
Young friends of the bridal couple
plan to fill he intervening days until
the wedding with many entertain
ments for them. There will b i a din
ner party Monday evening and Wed
nesday afternoon Miss Mary Mitchell
will give a matinee party and tea for
the bride. Others who have asked
for a date to entertain are Miss Fer
Clark, Miss Grace McGee and Mr.
Robert Turner.
This couple will go to Des Moines
after their brief honeymoon.
Thursday will, also witness the
marriage of Miss Rachel Hager, to
Lieutenant John Robel, a Fort Snelr
ing officer. The wedding will take
place that evening ( at the home of
the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Spender E. Hager, after which Lieu
tenant Robel and his bride will go to
Des Moines, where he has been or
dered to report to Camp Dodge, the
draft cantonment of this divisbn.
Miss Lucile .Hager, sister of the
bride, will be maid of honor, and the
groom's sister, Miss Grace Robel, will
be bridesmaid. Charles Robel,' broth
er of the groom, will be best man.
Only relatives and a few close
friends will be present.
Society is inclined1 to believe that
there will be still one more interest
ing weddlng before the officers re
port for duty at Camp Dodge. The
marriage or Miss Gertrude Owen,
daughter of Dr. and Mrs. F. S- Owen,
and Major Amos Thomas, wl;o re
ceived the highest office at Fort
Snelling, is the one anticipated. '
