AMERICAN SOLDIERS
MARRY GERMAN GIRLS
NO CHARG ES FILED
AGAINST MEN.
Army Order Will Ban Mar
riages Even After Peace
Treaty Ratification.

Coblenz, July 26.--(A P.)--Reports
of marriages between American SOL
diers and German girls have been re-
ceived at headquarters from various
parts OF the occupied area during the
past few days, but as yet no charges
have been fled against any Of the
men, as 1t is believed most of the
marriages were due to misunder-
standing regarding the antifraterni-
cation regulations.
A week before the treaty was
signed, several of the chaplains,
through misunderstanding, in
formed the soldiers that marriages
were permissible as soon as the Ger
mans accepted the peace terms. Of
ificers say that number of mar
riages took place before this belief
was corrected by a special order
from headquarters calling the atten-
ton of officers and men to the fact
that until the United States ratified
the treaty, Germany and America
technically were at war and the reg
ulation prohibiting determination
was still in force.
At headquarters 1t is said that
even after the United States rattfles
the treaty. marriages with German
girls will be prohibited by an army
order.
Inquiries continue to reach head
quarters regarding marriages. the
applicants being referred to the Judge
advocate or to the civil affairs Off
GERS, who investigate all cases.

said, will soon be erected.
In Clarksville and Franklin. BOTH
| there Is testimony to the efficiency,
| the progressive industry ana ioreslsns
| OF the bishop OF Nashville. Both these
| towns have something new in the mat
ter OF building.
In Winchester has been erected a
beautiful school building and hand
some church This school is In charge
OF the Dominican sisters from tne
mother house at Nashville, ST. Cecilia
convent. These sisters are also In
charge at Clarksyille, Memphis, Chat.
tanooga and Jackson where the great
work OF building and growing has also
been good.
Throughout the mountains of Ten.
nessee there are little chapels. small
and unobtrusive. tucked away among
the hills. There is a good priest in
charge who is said to have a parish as
large as diocese. This Is one OF
the most beautiful missions In all the
diocese, and has for 1t one of the most
consecrated OF the diocese priests--a
man greatly In love with his work. his
mission and with suffering humanity's
needs.
This is merely a part of Bishop
Ryrne's great work in Tennessee.
These items" have been gathered from
the outside, 1t being impossible to get
in touch with the bishop himself.
Bishop Byrne is a quiet man. modest,
of great dignity and force. He goes
calmly about his business, disturbing
none, but always at work.
He was born builder" as the say
ing goes. He not only knows good
building, but he knows how to build.
They tell of him that once when
there seemed some danger of his West
End school building not being COM
pleted In time for the opening, that
he simply took trowel and made one
of the builders.
In the building Of the orphanage, out
of sight of the passing world. he is
said to have built along with the + Il
Of them. 1t may be said of him that ne
works with his hands, his head and his
heart.
Bishop Byrne is greatly respected
among the people OF Nashville and
greatly beloved by all thos ewho know
him more closely. He is an honor to
the cloth that honors IN, and he is
one of those whose work is destined
to follow him.
Many people of the state and city will
join in wishing the bishop of Nashville
a long lease of his great life, and that
happiness which comes of work well
done.

they have been compelled to do ii
the past, but that conditions will bt
improved. She said that while the
woman's vote in Tennessee has been
slow. 1t has been inevitable. She
said further that the growth of de-
mocracy has helped the cause. She
fpointed out that IL the home should
be left to the man 1t wouldn't be
successfully managed.
80 II is that the government, left,
as 1t has been, In the hands of the
men, has become one-sided and re-
suited in a cost of living that is al
most disastrous and a condition
where men have almost lost sight of
the conservation of manhood" de-
clared Mrs. Littleton.
She said further that the loss of
the lives of men in the present gen.
eratiau exceeds that OF any etber
generation recorded IN history. FOR
this ress,n, she pointed out, the first
thing the women will do will be to
take steps to conserve human life In
every way.

Mrs. Meek brought out the fact that
when the matter first came up as to

tutional, several Of Chattanooga's
prominent lawyers met and went
over the bin, and found nothing that
would prevent it from being so.
Mrs. Meek declared that she placed
q lot Of faith In their opinion. and
FOR that reason felt sure that a ia
varable decision would be reached.
She brought out that at one Of the
suffrage meetings held in this city
Hon. Foster Y. Brown, IN referring
to the bill being unconstitutional, de-
clared that II was nothing but
lawyers bubble"
Mrs Mary Giles Howard, q we'll |
known clubwoman, said: II am glad |
TO hear that the matter is settled now |
