NO AMERICAN WIFE
Industrial Conditions Alone Ap.
peal to Scion of Noble
Family

With family tree dating back more
than a thousand years. Louis DAHL
Heres, yesterday in st. Paul, attached
a democratic Mr." before his name.
Tall. athletic. withe the inevitable
camera slung by strap over his left
shoulder. Count d'Aillieres saw the
beauty spots of st. Paul, and will take
snapshots of some OF them with him to
france But recently resigned from a
two years service in the French army,
Count d'Aillieres has spent the past
four months in the United States. He
has visited the west. including the Pa
cific coast territory, the Yosemite and
the Grand Canyon. Spending Sunday
morning in Minneapolis, he paid his
respects to Archbishop John Ireland
yesterday afternoon. He bore a letter
or Introduction to the archbishop from
an ecclesiastical friend In Paris. where
the archbishop spent some years. Later
Count dAi!lieres rambled along the
river front, taking pictures from the
bridges and other points of vantage.
Wife Not Wanted
Looking for a wife," the young
man echoed I'm reply to an inquiry.
when he had written his name or a
card with the prefix Mr." to it.
No. indeed. l admire the American
women immensely. but 1 am not a be-
lever in marriage between races SO de-
cldedly dissimilar as the French and
the American. 1t is largely matter of
education. Our system of education is
entirely different from the American
and the result is that the two races do
not asslmilate. There have been happy
international marriages. but / do not
know very many among my acquaint-
ances. The French girls are educated
10 make good wives for Frenchmen,
and doubtless the same is true of Amer
lean girls. But one cannot even ride
on your American street cars" the
French traveller said, as he glanced AT
the well groomed Easter passengers,
without at once becoming a devoted
admirer OF American girlhood and
womanhood,"
Count d'Aillieres has found time to be
student of international affairs.
Naturally. the sympathy of the
French people is with the Russians in
their hight with the Japanese" he said.
RUSSIA has long been a stalwart ally
or France, and the Russian government
owes France more money than She
owes to all the other nations of the
world. We expect to see Russia win
the war, and she must win in the very
nature OF things. Her resources have
not yet even commenced to feel a
strain, while it is we'll known that ia =
pan ihust WIN the night speedily If she
is to win at all.
Anti-Russian Feeling
Why is it that the sympathy of the
American people is so markedly in IA
vor OF Japan? Out in the western
states, from where 1 have just come
they do not like the Japanese at all
The feeling against them as possible
competitors in the world markets and
In the labor field is strong. And yet
the whole American people apparently
want to see Russia lose the war to ia
pan. 1t seems to be a contradiction
to me-"
Count d'Aillieres left last night for
Chlcago, summoned by the illness OF
his travelling companion. He will re-
turn to st. Paul and MINNEAPOLIS to
study the industrial field further be-
fore going to Pittsburg to spend a week
In the center of the iron industry.
