TOMMY ATKINS IS
 AN ARDENT WOOER
Many British Soldiers Win Hearts
 Of French LaSSieS

Correspondence of the Asso. Press).
 British Headquarters in France, May 17.-One of the results of the presence of the British army in France is that a good many British soldiers will take French wives home with them The difference in language far from being a barrier, is an access sorry. Tommie Atkins teaches Miss France English, and Miss France teaches Tommie Atkins French.
 There is plenty of leisure for the courtship to develop. Frequently British battalions remain in the same section for months at a time. When the men have done their shift in the trenches they return, Gin rest as the saying goes, to the same villages where they were before. Usually they have quarters in the French houses. Tn sense they become mem bers of the community.
 With the French men folk away the British soldier lends a hand with any heavy work which requires mans strength. Only today the cor respondent saw a British soldier drawing a harrow. A feminine hand does some sewing or cooking for him in return. The romantic atmosphere is not lacking. When the Briton says "au revoir'' to his sweetheart and starts for the trenches he may never come back; and he is going to fight for France.
 On Sunday afternoons the girls are out in their best frocks as they are anywhere else in the world and walk ing with them along the roads and lanes are men in khaki; their conver- sations are a mixture of French and English.
 It is not romance alone that leads the Briton to marry in France. He has learned to admire the thrift and cleverness of the French woman and her industry in taking the place of her fathers and brothers who are at the front.

he was a stranger and had been or dered from Boston to report here. He went to the camp ground and upon returning he said he found no one there to report to, and left the village.
 The camp grounds were invaded today, as yesterday, only by the care taker and the man sent to put the water pumps in condition for use. The boss of the section gang yester- day got word to clear the siding and every one here thought the infantry, the artillery and the cavalry were coming right in. But up till noon today six cars with equipment only had arrived.
 The people in Mantle are looking forward to the camp with interest. They expect it will be the center if attraction for all the autom obilists in the state. Villagers with available rooms and the summer hotels all through this section are expecting brisk business.

 Germans Blamed.
 Agencies of the entente allies are understood to be active for peace, par ticularly because they believe German influence has sought to inf1ame the Mexican government against the Unit ed States with a view to preventing this country from gathering in trade formerly controlled bf Germany in Mexico, South and Central America.
 It is pointed out that Carranza might avoid war by calling for an international commission to discuss the border situation as provided for in the treaty of 184S. So far, however, no suggestion for such a step has come from Mexico. A definite state
 
 is doing all in his power at this time to protect Americans in Mexico from attack by the populace. He is said to have given Special Agent Rodgers in Mexico City all the aid in his pow CT in arranging for trains to carry American refugees from the interior to Yea Cruz. Tn some quarters here this was construed as evidence that he is not bent upon provoking hostilities.
 The state departm had no ad- vices bearing out these hopeful in dications, except that from Special Agent Rodgers announcing the pro- gross of his efforts to get American citizens out. With the full consent of the Carranza authorities. he said and the promise of adequate protec- ton from possible bandit attacks, he had arranged for a special train tc leave Mexico City tomorrow carrying Americans to Vera Cuz.
 MT. Rodgers added that he and his diplomatic associates in the Mexican capital had been given every assur- ance of safe conduct and protection on their trip to the coast If 1t be- came necessary for them to leave The corps of American newspaper correspondents there has decided tc remain with MT. Rodgers until such time as he may find it necessary tc leave.

ORPET'S LETTERS
Court Still Unable to Decide Whether They Arc Admissible As Evidence In Murder Trial.

Waukegan, H., June 21.-Judge Donnelly was still unprepared when court opened today to rule on the com petence or incompetence as evidence, of the early letters of Will H. Orpet to Marian Lambert, for whose alleged murder the young man is on trial.
 The defense objected to the admis- sion of the earlier letters as having no bearing on Marians death. Judge Don- nelly said that the letters were so prejudicial to Orpet as plainly indi- eating seduction, that it would be dangerous to submit them to the jury.
 States Attorney Dady argued for their admission on the ground that an illicit love affair eliminating in mur- der could be shown only by reading the entire series of epistles.
 Argument on this point and the ad- instability of other evidence threat ened to make it impossible for the prosecution to conclude it's evidence today
 Celectia Youker the young teacher of chemistry, to whom, it was report ed to Marian, that Orpet was engaged, was held in the witness room.
