Japanese women. But Japanese man
in this country may marry Japanese
girl in Japan by proxy, selecting his
bride and afterward proving his claim
| on her by means of a photograph. Such
marriage by proxy is not recognized
as legal in the United States. SO the cere-
mony is to be repeated at the immigra-
ton station.
The objection to photograph marriages
springs from the many evils, moral and
otherwise, which are claimed to spring
out of the system. Churches and vari-
tous women's organizations have pro-
tested against the practice. The immigra-
| ton bureau hopes that circumstances
will soon permit thorough investigation
Of the question. The number of photo
| graph brides has been increasing steadily
for five years. resching a total of nearly
| two Thousand last year.
There is always somebody to meet the

European girl arriving alone and friend

man she was to marry. is a pathetic one.

alton in way that spares the feelings
of those concerned as much as possible.

WEEDS Distant Cousin. htI,sd in tho
trenches A distant cousin had sent
her passage money. and promised to
marry her on her arrival. Her vessel
had been badly delayed in crossing. and
there was no sign of the man. The i'm
migration authorities took charge Of
the girl, finally locating her cousin in
a Lowell shoe factory. There was moth
inc unwilling in his attitude. but the
fact that he could not leave his work
kept him away from the dock, while
his lack of English prevented him from
making any arrangements to inform the
girl of his whereabouts. The immigra-
ton officers got Interpreters and a Ger
man clergyman. and the couple We're
quickly married.
1t already has become evident that
the war will eventually cause boom
in immigrant marriages. The European
peasant woman takes matter of ia ct
view of the question. She regards mar
ria &c as her destiny. and now that the
men in her home land are being killed
off by hundreds Of thousands and>hel'
chances correspondence decreased, she
turns to A.A erica. where men are more
plentiful. Last summer little COM
pany of five German girls. all from the
same village, arrived at Ellis Island.
Their homes had been destroyed and
the affianced husbands of three of them
had been killed. Each had managed to
accumulate enough money to permit
her to land here. and each told the
woman Immigration officer that she

War Widow and spicuous enough
Children Arriving attention Of the
Immigration officers is the arrival of the
war widow with her children. Most of
these widows will be matrimonial can
didates before long, At, least one of
them has already been mdrried at the
immigration station. She was young
French widow, who had a small shop
near Paris. Her husband was killed.
She exchanged letters with his brother.

to marry her if she would sell the shop
and come to America with the children.

nignly on the course of romance. They
have to be on the lookout for all thu
tricksters who are out to exploit ie.
norant girls There was the case of a
certain young Bohemian girl: This
maiden was known in her home town to
be something of an heiress. When her
father died she came into the whole
sum of $500. She had been correspond
ing with a former neighbor, who was
now in America At his suggestion she
converted her fortune into hard cash
and sailed for Ellis Island, where he
promised to marry her. When the bride
groom arrived the authorities questioned
him, but the reticenoe of some of his
answers awakened their suspicious. The
girl was detained while the officers
n h,f
to the program was found in the fact
that he had a Wife already.
In spite of this disappointment the
girl wanted to stay in America. and as
support she was admitted. The immi-
grafton bureau put her in the hands o!
reliable people of her own nationality
who advised her to invest her capital in
small shop. which she did. and pros
pered. Today she is a patriotic Ameri-
and educational institutions. and she
frequently helps other immigrant girls
who find themselves in difficulties.
For the moment the war has decreased
the amount of immi ration and With
it the number of immigrant marriages
Only ffty-siX have taken place at Ellis
Island in the last three months, whereas
in the past they were almost of daily
occurrence. The girl bride is treated
with every Kindness. The non-appcar-
ance Of the husband is a frequent oc-
currence. in which case every effort is
made to cheer her up while he is bsilg
ioca ted. If he has changed his miad in
the meantime, influence is brought to
bear upon him to fulfll his obligation.
Should he prove obdurate in cases
where the girl has no money. there is no
way out except to deport her unless
some one can be found to give a bond
that she will not become a public charge
within three years.
