TITLES COST FORTUNES
Yankee Girls Bring Mobiles
$9OO,OOO,OOO = Marriage
Financial Speculation.

New York, Nov. "a French Jour
nal, lie Petit Parisien, declared the
other day that American girls who had
married abroad, mostly for foreign I'll
ties, had carried with them to Europe
the astonishing sum of 5000, 000, 900.
The Paris writer did not associate this
startling sum with the report of tight
money" in America, yet on this side
of the Atlantic the fact that hundreds
of millions have gone out of the coun-
try with the title hunters may well
occasion little financial as we'll as So
cial speculation.
Upward of 400 American girls have
married in Europe within comparatively
recent years. A local newspaper prints
today the present names OF 359 Ameri-
can women who have married titles.
Running over the list of rich Ameri-
girls who have married titles 1t Is not
able that there IS scarcely one famous
American family which has not con-
tributed a share of its fortune to gid

When took charge Of the fleet two

target practice out there which I
thought was good, and it was good.

Then he described the target practice,
when 3ox30 foot target was shot at
range of five and quarter miles, just
as would be done in battle. He said
proudly that the target practically was
destroyed in two minutes and nfteen
seconds. When 1t was examined there
We're four IL inch shells. nine inch
shells, and seventeen inch shells in

repel night attack by three torpedo

tions, in the first minute all three tor

Former Secretary Shaw had to ad-
nit that was pretty good work.
