Liverpool Post wonders Whether He
Will Marry Abroad.
(Correspondence.)

Liverpool, June 27.-Speculating
editorially on whether the men OF the
American Army will marry English
wives to any appreciate extent, The
Liverpool Post says:
will American men marry here :?
We wonder if the coming of the
American army will have any effect
upon the matrimonial prospects Of
our girls. For some reason, the men
of the New World have hitherto never
shown any great eagerness to take
brides from the Old, and even the
theory that this is because it has not
been the way Of the American man
to cross the Atlantic, though it is con-
sol1ng to our national vanity, does
not work. For it Is noticeable that
the Canadians, who have abounded
in our midst during the past three
years, are not nearly as fond of mar
rying into this country as are, for
example, Australians
Few of the young men from Aus
tralla seem to want to return home
without English brides, but the Cana
dams either are married when they
come or show a disposition to remain
single.
Still, there is no need for the girls
to despair yet, and If some of them
do not spend their lives as matrons in
the United States we shall be sur
pr1sed Certainly it will not be their
fault, as they show a most amiable
desire to like any of the American
naval and military and medical men
they have seen, although in some
ways the fellow citizens Of President
Wilson are so curiously unlike our
own men,

Lewis Of England, the welterweight
champion and Mike O'Dowd, the st.
Paul boxer, which was to have taken
place on Friday night at the st.
