AMERICANS TAKING
FRENCH BRIDES
Some Newspapers Profess Fear That
France Will Lose in Population
When American Soldiers Re-
turn Home with Their
French Women.

Paris, Aug. "a Correspondence OF
the Associated Press LET me give
you little advice" says writer in the
Intransigeant, addressing himself to the
maidens of France. There arc many
Americans in France and you know very
well how charming they find you. They
find our women more disposed to be
fellow workers with them than those OF
other countries, they appreciate you
highly, but, my daer little French girls
you must not be frivolous. Americans
are grown-up children, somewhat ingenu.
Gus, trife puritan and quite heady to
marry you, and an American husband
and French wife make an excellent
married couple So do not waste the
chance that marked purity which is so
seldom found among the men of ancient
Europe"
Another writer, in the Petit Journal,
welcomes the report that American
French marriages are becoming very
common, as excellent from the idyllic
and sentimental point of view also for
the fusian of the two races, but ex-
presses some anxiety as to its effect
on the repopulation of France He fears
that when the war is over, the American
husbands will carry away their French
wives across the Atlantic and France
will lose that many households, loss
that the country is in no condition to
stand.
The writer quotes a letter that he has
received from French girl, engaged to
AN American, in which she says that
she had laid down no conditions in ac-
cepting the proposal but had made her
tianse understand that after the war
,there would be work for every one in
France, and so he had promised to re-
main in France and if children came
fhey should be French citizens.
There's good example," comments
the article, 'Iet all French girls follow
6t. America will not be preeeptibly poor
er and France will be enriched. It is
zone more kind act that we can beg from
our allies and one they are not likely
ITO refuse"

bassador Gerard's Book.
The Germans before the war, as every
one knows to-day, made of espionage
great national understanding To be
successful in this branch of service, it is
unnecessary to go very minutely into
detail of psychology, and we must all
admit that the Germans have thoroughly
and scientifically organized their entire
system. With what success this was at
tended the allies can testify. Spying is a
very essential ingredient of Prussian
character, and this natural honor or feel
ing carefully cultivated so that no infiu-
ence Of personal honor or feeling shall be
considered if it is for the national advan-
tage to disregard it. Their military spy
ing is as perfect as such work can be,
marred occasionally by the contempt
they feel for other nations in military
masses. 1t is the German boast, and we
believe legitimate one, that they know
America better than do Americans, but
their error is believing that in knowing
America they knew the Americans them
selves. Americas entry into the war
proves this fact.

Washington, D. c., Aug. 24-An earn
est warning against "insidious and pois-

declaration that peace must be dictated
to and not negotiated with Germany to
place her in a position where she never
again can disturb the worlds peace, were
made in the Senate yesterday by Sena-
tor Lodge Of Massachusetts, ranking Re-
publican of the foreign relations COM
mittee.
Peace terms which must and will be
forced on Germany were specifically de-
tailed by Senator Lodge, in addressing
the Senate IN support of the man-power
bill to extend the army draft ages.
They included complete restoration Of
Belgium, unconditional return of Al
SAGE, safety for Greece, independence for
Serbia and Rumania, an independent
Poland, independence of the Slav peo-
Piles and freedom of Russia from German
domination, including return Of Russia
territory wrested by Germany in the
Brest- Litovsk treaty.
Furthermore, Senator Lodge declared
Constantinople must be made free port
and Palestine never restored to Turkish
rule.
These are the principal conditions"
he said, (which will give victory worth
having. No peace that satisfies Germany
can ever satisfy us. 1t cannot be ne

INSPECT CONDENSED MILK.
Inspectors Watch Factories Making
Evaporated Milk for Allied Armies.


Federal food inspectors of the United
States department Of agriculture are
giving special attention to the factories
where milk is condensed or evaporated
for use of the allied armies and for con.
sumers at home, according to the officials
charged with the enforcement Of the
food and drugs act
Condensed or eyaporated milk is a
most important article of food even in
peace times, in the opinion of the off
cials. 1t IS used by bakeries and confec.
tioneries, and in feeding babies and the
sick, as well as being used as general
substitute for fresh milk wherever the
raw milk can not be obtained in sufii.
cient quantity or purity.
In time of war, eyapOrated milk be-
comes necessity, because il can be
transported with ease and will keep a
reasonable time under conditions where
it is impossible to obtain or keep fresh
milk. As much as so per cent of the out
put of many large factories is being
shipped overseas for the use of the al
lied armies.
Inspector Examine Factories.
Inspectors examine the sanitary con
dition of factories where milk is con
densed or eyaporated, sterilized, and
canned Samples of the raw milk as
received at the factories are taken for
analysis by chemists and psychologists
to see that it is clean and wholesome
and that is possesses the proper proper
tion of butter fat and other ingredients.
The processes of evaporation, steriliza-
tion, and canning are studied; samples
of the finished eYaporatsd product are
taken for examination in order that it
may be determined whether the evap-
oratd milk has been condensed to the
proper constituency. contains the right
food elements, and is clean and whole
some. The contents of the cans are
weighed and compared with the amount
stated on the labels. The labels on the
cans are critically studied to see that
there is no misbranding or false state
ments made regarding the quantity, the
quality, or the strength Of the evapor-
ated milk
Inspectors Of the various states CO.
operate with the federal food inspec-
tors in this work The federal food
and drugs act applies only to shipments
OF food that enter interstate ON foreign
commerce, State inspectors have juris.
diction over products made and sold
wholly within the state.
The joint authority of the federal and
state inspectors often enables them,
working together, to correct abuses
which either working alone could not
reach Adulterated or misbranded con-
densed milk, when shipped into inter
state or foreign commerce, may be seized
under the federal feed and drugs act,
and the manufacturer or other RESPONSE
bic party may be prosecuted under the
criminal sections of the law The state
food inspectors have authority, under
the law Of some states, to require insan-
itary factories to close until put into
sanitary condition.
Evaporated or condensed milk, as de-
fined for the guidance of the officials in
enforcing the food and drugs act, must
be made from whole, fresh, clean milk,
and contain not less than 25.5 per cent
of total solids; and not less than rs
per cent Of milk fat.
