MARITAL ZEAL TAKES
PLACE MILITARY ARDOR
THROUGHOUT GERMANY

New York. Nov 20-MartiaI ardor
has been supplanted by martial zeal
in Germany. This is evidenced by the
advertising columns Of German
newspapers received here. Matrimo-
NAL lads" cover whole pages and
inserted by people of all ages and
walks Of life.
Many appeal for husbands or wives
for relatives. Parents. brothers. SIS
tiers and even friends of those who
seek mates invite correspondence
from those matrimonially inclined.
War invalids. wealthy physicians,
manufacturers and rich widows are
among those who resort to publicity.
One advertiser says he is a wild
over who has property amounting TO
several million marks. He admits he
is So years old, but saws he LOOKS
younger" A physician who has an
annual income of 100. 0C0 marks seeks
to arrange q. meeting with "a beau
tiful, stately woman. object matrl-
mony."
Scarcity Of tobacco in Germany is
shown by the large number OF ad-
vertisements offering to purchase cl-
CARS and cigarettes in any quantity
offered.
That the Germans are preparing TO
embark on large commercial cam
paigns in the east is inferred from
advertisements asking for statesmen
to find purchasers for German prod
ucts in Poland and Rumania. Other
announcements request manufacture
ers to submit samples of articles
which axe suitable for eastern coun-
tries"
