Lisbon, Apr. 1.-THE Portuguese
have not failed to live up to their
reputation for gallantry during their
three years sojourn in France. The
authorities have received notice of
6S7 marriages of French girls to
Portuguese officers and soldiers, and
many hundreds more are expected to
follow.
The young Portuguese warriors, it
would seem, exercised an irresistible
fascination upon the French maidens
by reason of the romantic melan-
choly songs of Portugal, called ia

their sweethearts to the accompani.

FLOATING MINES
MENACE TO SHIPS
Several Vessels Are Lost and 1t Will
BE Several Years Before Euro
pean Waters Are Cleared

Constantinople, Apr. 11.--Float-
ing mines In the Dardanelles and
Sea OF Marmona still constitute
great danger to navigation. Several
ships have been lost since the ar
mistice through mine explosions. The
armistice required Turkey to indi-
cate all mines, but 1t has not been
possible in all cases to give their
exact location. Mine sweepers have
been at work for some time, but
naval authorities say 1t will be many
months before vessels can proceed
through the straits with safety. No
navigation is permitted at night. On
passenger vessels Hfeboats drills are
held regularly, just as in days when
submarines menaced the seas.
Even in the broad tretches Of the
Aegean Sea the greatest precautions
are taken against floating mines. In
certain areas passengers are requir-
ed to wear life preservers, and mar
row lanes ofctravel have been mark
ed out for pilots to follow.
But 1t Is in the Black Sea that the
greatest danger exists. Not only
are there numerous floating mines
there. but extensive unmarked mine
fields laid indiscriminately by the
Germans, Russians and bolshevik.
They are a constant menace to ship
ping. The steamer bearing the Am
erican Red Cross mission to Rou-
mania narrowly missed floating
mine while proceeding to Constanza.
Often these mines are carried down
by the swift current in the Bosphor-
Gus straits to the Sea OF Marmona,
where they are an ever-present dan
ger to the hundreds OF naval and
merchant vessels.
Naval authorities say it will be
several years before the waters OF
Europe are entirely free of floating
mines. Many of the German mines
destroyed by allied trawlers were
found to have been moored by rope.
When the rope rotted the mines
broke from their anchorages and
drifted In many cases to the main
line of steamer travel.

TROOPS OF RED ARMY

London, Apr. 11.-Many troops OF

cording to official reports to the
British government. at times
amounts to 20 rubles an hour. The
Red army in that territory is COM

Many Of the OFFICERS are Germans.
