WAR MARKET ORIGINATOR
URGES PLANFOR CAPITAL

The success OF Cleveland's "war
markets" which cut the price of many
articles of food in two, is today &C.
cupying the minds OF members~of the
HousekeepeIs' Alliance OF the Wom-
ems Committee OF the District Coun-
ell OF Defense who heard Miss Kate
Davis, originator OF this movement in
the Forest City. give an impromptu
address to the Alliance yesterday.
Miss Davis is on a tour OF the coun-
try explaining how to get tho best
Of old II. c. L. by the establishment
of these markets. and hopes by next
summer to see them flourishlng in
every large city in the union.
Seven OF these markets were
created in Cleveland the first part OF
last July" she said, where farmers
brought their produce and sold II d.
rect to consumers. Every product
of the farm was sold in these marts
and in most cases at a reduction Of
from 10 to 80 per cent from the re-
tailers' prices.
"The seven markets were located
on the outskirts OF the city and
crowds OF from 1000 to 10000 men
and women attended the two market
days" weekly. Final estimates show
ed that about $4,000 Cleveland fam
lilies were being served by these mar
kets before the end OF the produce
season"
Miss Davis has Just been appointed
food commissioner OF the National
Council OF Women OF the United States
by Mrs. Philip North Moore, president
OF the council.

AMERICAN WIVES
OF ALIEN ENEMIES
NOW SEEK DIVORCE

There is to be an epidemic Of
divorces separating American wives
from German, Austrian, and Hun
Earian husbands during the next year,
according to reports reaching the De
partment OF Justice from various
courts throughout the country
There are already on file in many
courts petitions for divorce filed by
American-born women who have mar
ried Germans or other enemy aliens
Most OF the cases are against Ger
man husbands. Evidence adduced In
some of the cases Is to the effect that
the German husbands attempted to
force their American wives to sub
scribe to German war loans out OF
their own funds.
Most cases are those In which the
German husbands have returned to
Germany in response TO the call for
reservists and have attempted to
have their American wives remaining
In this country send money or per.
form services to aid the German cause.
There are some cases in which Ameri-
can women who were living in Ger
many with their German husbands
have returned to this country.
1t f. expected that courts will warp
procedure n little, II necessary, to
grant separations and divorces in
these cases.
