she is all fagged out by needless work.

that at the time he voted he believed he
was 21. but since has found out that he
wouldn't be 21 until August. 1917, and

“Awaken the is Key
note of Speeches Before Con
ference of Committees of
Patriotic and Defense Bodies.
Washington, D. C. —Awaken the people
to realization of the danger confronting
the country was again today the key
note of speeches at the conference of the
national committee of patriotic and de
fense societies.
Only by throwing in more ships, more
men, more money and more supplies, all
within the next eight months, can defeat
for our cause be averted, according to Ray
mond B. F’rloe. chairman of the commit
tee on Inventions of the Aero Club of
America. . .. „ ,
"We have so far failed, said Price.
"If fuel becomes increasingly scarce,
the British fleet next fall will be so re
stricted that the German fleet can es
cape.
"Then indeed will hell be let loose on
our own unprotected coasts.
“Our shipbuilding preparations for the
next eight months are pitifully inade
quate."
Lack of true comprehension of the
grave damage which the nation faces,
was described by Secretary of War
Baker, who said.
"Your real work is to spread among
all the people a definite comprehension
of the problems confronting the nation
today. The people must be made to yn
derstand that we are in this war."
SEEKING $1,000,000 FOR
BREACH OF PROMISE;
SHE IS 28, HE IS 85
New York. —Crowds flocked to Long
Island City to hoar the testimony In on,
of the most unusual of Nsw York's many
breach of promise cases today.
A voung woman of 28 Is seeking *l,-
000.000 from an old man of 85.
But that *1.000.000 for whloh Miss
Honors Mav O'Brien Is suing John B
Manning Is for shattered nerves—not the
wren. h of the heart. Miss O'Brien said
so herself In the continuation of her
cross examination at the hands of Man
ning's attorneys before Justice C’ropsey.
It was "respect" and admiration for
Manning's piety, the pretty golden hair
ed plHlntlff Insisted, that led her to ac
cept her aged wrooer's ardent courtship,
not love.
"t have had the mortification of having
my name dragged through the news
papers and being pointed out as the re
sule of hls refusal to marry me,” she
continued, explaining exactly where the
*1,000,000 might aid in recompense.
Manning, wrinkled of face and with
palsied hands constantly twitching,
watched hls former fiancee, roey and
stylishly dressed closely. Behind sat
hls six children.
The plaintiff's trump card was played
In production of a statement from Car
dinal Farley, detailing how arrangements
had been made from the wedding that
never occurred.
James O'Brien, brother of the halm
seeking girl, was the principal witness
today. He detailed a number of con
versations with the aged millionaire de
fendant In which Manning, he said, ex
pressed the utmost eagerness to marry
Miss O'Brien In one of these O'Brien
quoted the octogenarian as declaring:
"I'm going to steal this little girl away
from you—Fvs loved her for ten years.”
Cross examination elicited the fact in
applying for the marriage license, Man
ning had given hls age as 7*. He Is 84.
Manning • counsel had O'Brien admit
hr was a Sinn Fein adherent and handed
a "Sinn Fein republic" flag to the Ger
man commander of Ihe U-hoat t'-SS,
when she appeared off Newport more
than a year ago.
