7omances Between American Boys
and French Girls.
Paris, March S.-That Cupid was
learly busy as Mars with the mem
)ers of the American Expeditionary
Force and that romance bloomed in
france in spite Of wars alarms is
hown by the fact that more than six
thousand French women have been
wooed and won by American soldiers
within one year The majority of the
French girls who have become Ameri-
ans through marrying men and Off
'ers OF the American Expeditionary
Force are stenographers. salegirls or
teachers with a sprinkling OF peasant
girls and those of the middle class or
Dourgeoisie.
The romances are in most cases
very similar. A soldier would be bill

superseded by a combination OF Ang-

The clean cut, healthy physique OF
the Americans, their politeness and
generosity would appeal to the heart
Of the French girl who saw in the
American the realization OF her
dreams. As a rule, the Americans
also made no secret Of the particular
sympathetic feeling they had for the
French girls and so as natural
sequence, marriages resulted
Many such pairs now are puzzled

fifty per cent of the benedicts will

Association of Manufacturers. A di-
gest Of the replies, issued today by
the association, showed that 16 out
of the % groups. into which its mem
bership was divided, reported bust
ness below 80 per cent of normal pre-
war conditions. The 18th leather and
leather manufacturers, reported trade
about equally divided between fair
and good.
In response to a request for sug-
gestions to help general prosperity,
replies enumerated a total of II OBJ
stacles laying in the path Of a return

Hickey, who prepared the digest for
the association. placed the IL in the
following order, estimated according

farm PROFITS
WILL AID LOAN
Rural Business Men Are Well
Able to Take Up Their Share
in the Victorious Fifth"

More than ever before the Ameri-
can farmer finds himself In the posi-
ton of comfort and prosperity which
is his Just due. Lean years are for
him no longer.
Last year the average OF farm
earnings broke all records. Six mil
lion farms In 1918 produced crops
worth s12.2SO, OO0, 900. This year IL
is estimated that greater wheat
acreage than ever will be shown.
Naturally the farmer Is making the
most of his opportunities, and with
guaranteed wheat prices and higher
prices for everything he grows, tho
outlook for him is most encouraging.
And Europe will furnish a market
doubtless for all he can grow. In
Guiding his fat hogs at $50 and his
steers at $3.50 per.
1t would be interesting, If possible,
to assemble comparative statements
Of the farmers bank accounts now
and five years ago, and the list OF
mortgages that have been cancelled.
And it would be more interesting per-
haps TO have statement Of the Lib
erty Bonds now In the hands OF these
tillers of the soil
And very soon the farmer will have
an opportunity to prove that he is
not without loyalty as well developed
as any mans. For another loan is
almost in sight, loan that Will draw
upon US all.
Because Of his price guarantee OF
1925 a bushel, Uncle Sam stands to
lose from SO to 70 cents upon every
bushel Of wheat harvested next sea-
SON. Having made this guarantee to
the farmer. he viii make 1t good.
That is Uncle Sans way.
But what Is Mr.. Farmer going to
do for Uncle Sam in the next Liberty
Loan?
In every Liberty Loan to date the
farmer, as a class, has bought less
bonds than men in other prosperous
classes. He has been able mean
time to get more sugar, and coal, and
everything else upon which the gov
eminent put restriction, than others
have.
The big question now, when he
stands to cash in at rs per cent
premium upon his wheat crop, is what
is he going to do next Liberty Loan
drive?
Some Liberty Loan officials are sug-
gesting that the farmer should buy
500 bond for each 100 bushels OF
wheat that he sells to the govern
ment. He has made the profit and
should have no hesitancy in taking
q high grade security in payment for
the difference between what the gov
eminent gets and what he gets for his
wheat.

TO REpLENIsH STOCKS
Sugar Dealers Are Urged TO Buy
Before June I.

New York, April 1.-THE United
States food administration today ad-
vised dealers in refined sugar to take
immediate steps towards replenishing
their stocks in order to avoid possible
depleted supplies in the season Of
heavy buying between June and De-
tober !. While there is no shortage
Of sugar at present and none in pros
pect, at least before next fall the
authorities warned dealers that there
was no indication OF lower prices and
holding off in placing orders might
result in their being unable to get
them filled when canning and the ma
tural heavy consumption OF the sum
mer call upon the output Of the refin-
err.

OUR SOLDIERS
DID NOT LET Up
And the Nation viii Show II
Stays With Them in The ''Vic-
tOriOus Fifth" Liberty Loan.

Two million Of Uncle Sans boys
are over there looking after the COM
mon good Of the world at large.
Incidently after the interests of
the United States OF America.
And they will have to stay upon
the Job until it is done. Until things
are righted again. Until order is
brought out of chaos.
This may be only two or three
months longer. 1t may be as many
years.
But while they are there they must
be taken care of adequately. They
must be clothed and fed and lodged
comfortably. We don't want a death
list in camp greater than was suffered
in action.
We want those boys TO come back;
every possible one Of them.
Uncle Sam estimates that II costs
S423.27 year to equip and maintain
a soldier in Europe So if they remain
year 1t means approximately 81
OO0,000,00O And every added month
will mean proportionately more.
Part OF the proceeds from the com
ing Victorious Fifth" Liberty Loan
will be devoted to this end. Part Of
it will so into the rehabilitation fund
for putting the injured soldiers back
upon their feet. Part of it will go for
insurance claims. The rest will go to
meet the hundred and one other de-
mands of this greatest of world emer-
gencies since the dawn OF civiliza-
ton.
Every mothers son OF them did his
part, helped insure liberty and justice
for the world at large and restore
Uncle Sam to his rightful position in
the estimation of the nations OF
earth.
They did their duty fully, these boys
who won. They staid to the very end,
through fire and food. They never
talked about letting up.
This is no time for Americans TO
hink of letting UP.
We must stand by our guns; by our
ecords; by Uncle Sam.
We must make the next loan anoth-
r big success.

YOUNG DRUG ADDIcTs
10000 in First Draft for National

New York, April 15.-There are in
New York City alone 5000 men be-
ween p and 81 years old who are
rug addicts while elsewhere there
we're $4,000 in the first draft for the
National army it was disclosed yes
erday in a report made public by the
New York City Parole Commission.
The report on this point said:
Congressman Ramey, who is
most active worker against this evil.
md who has labored with the United
States Treasury Department ON new
egislation to amend the Harrison
Narcotic Drug act of 1914, has
lrought out some astounding facts on
his subject. He offers the opinion
hat since the only weapon of the Fed
raj authorities is for preventive nur
loses and to restrict the sale of drugs
through revenue enactments. the real
fight must be made by State and
municipal authorities. Speaking OF
Young men of draft age, he says It
vas found that there were $4,000 drug
lddicts in the FIRST draft, all of whom
needed medical attention.
"They were all rejected by camp
)ficers as incompetent and, worse
till, young men deliberately acquired
the drug habit to escape the draft. He
has list of twenty-five physicians
who We're commissioned as Captains
and Majors who are drug addicts. and
also the name OF a physician so COM
missioned who started for France
with a large amount of narcotics TO
be dealt out among soldiers. In
New York City a list has been made
up Of 5000 men between 81 and 81
Who are drug addiots. The Congress
man regards the newly enacted pro-
hibition laws as a certain source OF
still greater drug addiction
Accompanying the report OF the
Commission was a letter written BY
Alexander McKinny, its Chairman. in
which it was asserted that an ex-con.
Wet now on parole had declared that
he visited the Department of Health's
Bureau Of Drug Addiction Clinic at
l45 Worth street the other day and
obtained a portion OF drug which he
split" with pals" who were waiting
outside.
Chairman McKinny declared the
oustodial method, in his opinion, was
The only way to treat addicts. End
'aid he could not indorse the Health
Departments system of establishing
public clinics.
