Hindu Philosopher to Take Omaha Girl AS
His Bride to Home in Holy City of India
Romance Which Started
Here Two Years Ago
Skaters Kipling's
east Is East, Etc"
Theory.

A wedding trip around the world
before they settle down in their
magnificent home in Benares, holy
city of India-this is what DR.. Kes-
haya Deva Shastri, Hindu philoso-
pher, has planned for himself and
Miss Minnie Jensen, Omaha girl,
who will become his bride in the
near future. The marriage license
was issued in Omaha.
The story of the American Hindu
romance reads like page from
Kipling.
But it skaters Kipling's conten-
ton that East is East, and West
is West and never the twain shall
meet"
Is an Adopted Daughter.
Miss Jensen is an adopted daugh-
ter of Isaac Kahn, president of the
Megeath Stationary company, and
has been a member of the family
IS years. The home is at 20l5 Sher-
man avenue.
About two years ago the Hindu
philosopher came to Omaha and
gave a series of lectures under the
auspices of the Philosophical So
cicty.
Ii was here that the romance
started. DR.. Shastri, native of In
dia, graduate of three universities.
profound thinker, international lee
turer, found his mate in the little
Omaha girl. .,....
Love at First Sight.
1t may have been what we call
'love at first sight" or it may have
been that mysterious mating of
souls. At any rate, Miss Jensen
wears beautiful platinum ring pre-
scented to her by DR.. Shastri.
1t is deliberately engraved and in
scribed with both English and Hin
du characters and the workmanship
is that of master craftsman.
The date of the wedding has not
been definitely set. depending upon
DR.. Shastri's busy lecturing career.
But the license is issued and all that
remains is the ceremony.
They are going on a wedding
trip that any girl would love to
take" said Miss Mabel Kahn, Miss
Jensen's sister. After the wedding
in Omaha they will travel south and
then to California. There they will(
take a ship for the Hawaiian is
lands; then on to the Philippine is
lands. Next they will visit Japan
and then China.
Then they are going to Persia
and to Egypt. They do not in
tend to go on to Europe on that
trip but will come back from Egypt
to India where they will make their
permanent home.
Such Romantic Names.
'Dr. Shastri has his principal res
idence in Beneres. He also has a
summer home in the vale of Kash-
mere.
"Oh, it's just like out of a story
book. And DR.. Shastri is such a
splendid man. The Hindus are of
the white race and he is a man of
the highest education. He has de-
grees from three universities and he
presided over the great internation-

CIVILIANS RUSH
TO PROTECTION
OF U. S. TROOPS
American Authorities in Ger
many Forced to Tighten
Permit Privileges; Few Al
lowed in Occupied Area.

Coblenz, March 7.-(By Assoc
lated Press 1.-THE disturbances in
Berlin and other parts OF unoccu-
pied Germany have resulted in such
an increase in the number Of civil
ians eager to reach the bridgehead
area where conditions are more nor
NAL that the American forces of oc-
cupation have been compelled to
take steps to prevent Germans from
all parts OF the country overrunning
the occupied one along the Rhine.
To prevent civilians coming in
merely to take advantage of the
food situation and to get away from
the centers of disturbance, the
American authorities have had to
tighten up permit privileges. Only
those desiring to travel on urgent
business or are returning to their
homes will be allowed to pass with
IN the American occupied area.
Plan for Withdrawal.
The Germans within the occupied
zone are already laying their plans
for the days after the Americans
have withdrawn. Applications were
made recently for the privilege of
holding public meetings to urge the
organization of volunteer forces to
take over affairs when the Ameri-
cans left the district.
These applications, however, were
denied today by the Third army off
Gals on the ground that meetings of
this kind were prohibited by the
orders forbidding any organized
enemy forces within the bridgehead
limits.
All indebtedness contracted by
Americans within the occupied ter
ritories Of Germany will be paid inn
mediately. Authorization to this eff
feet was obtained by the Third army
today and from this date on the
Americans will pay their way as
they go. The money to pay the back
bills or bills of the future will be
requisitioned from Berlin, the army
thus relieving the civilians of the oc-
eupied territory from taking the
chances of collecting from the Ger
man government.
When the Americans eventually
start homeward not one pfennig
will be owing to civilians who have
claims of any kind in connection
with the upkeep of the United
States troops, so far as the army
records are concerned.
Will Get Receipts.
Before the departure of the forces
the commanders Of the various units
will confer with the burgomasters
Of the respective villages and cities
in the district and as a final formal
ity will receive from the burgo-
masters receipts in full, showing all
debts cleared up under this plan.
Since the Americans came the
burgomasters have been paying
the civilians their bills, but recently
the Germans reported that their
funds were exhausted and that they
we're unable to obtain more money
from Berlin. The Coblenz burgo-
masters Office thus owes more than
100000 marks for bills contracted in
connection with the maintenance OF
the Americans.
