PORTUGUESE SOLDIERS
 SOME LOVERS' IN FRANCE

Lisbon, April 26.-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 Portu- guese 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 melancholy songs of Portugal called fades" with which they serenade their sweet hearts to the accompaniment of guitars. These airs, it is said, gained wide popularity in the Armentieres sector, where the Portuguese expedi- tionary forces were located.

VOLUNTEER ARMY IS
 STRENGTH OF RUSSIA
Started With 400 Men and Now
 Numbers Over 100000

London, April 12, Correspondents or The Associated Press. )-Fresh rom Odessa, an Engfishman whom the correspondent met at the British torelgn office, has given to The Asso- ciated Press the first con7D1ete ac- count that has reached London of one of the most remarkable deyeIopnoents of the struggle in Russia against Bol- shevism. It is> the story of the vol unteer army. organized by General Alexief and now commanded by General Denitine, which in a year has grown from a handful of homeless men, devoid of equipment and SUD- plies, into a military force which has reconquered large portion of southern and southeastern Russia. suppressed the disruptive elements in the region occupied and set up a working civil government.
 No one over here" said the travel Ter, seems to realize than in the south of Russia there is small force of men which under the banner of the volunteer army and in the cause of United Free Russia, has made against overwhelming numbers of the Red Terror most gallant stand"
 The Volunteer Army, he continued, has been recruited from several classes and from every part of Russia Fighting against great odds it has paid a big price. Twice it has met defeat in campaigns on the river Kuban, and it's losses included it's leaders, A1exieff, Korniloff and Mar koff, and 30,0OO volunteers and Cos sacks.
 ''The army" he said, had whole battalions formed of officers. The first Kornfloff regiment, now re- duced to less than 500 fighters, has had passing through it's ranks more than 5000 men. The Regiment of Death has lost 5000 over similar period.
 ITO me, an observer, it has been a miracle how the Volunteer Army ever got any recruits. There was no CO., ercion. The recruits came volun- tarily, knowing that their. lot was most likely to be a wooden cross or the life of cripple.
 To-day the Volunteer Army has cleared the Great Belt of Russia by it's own efforts and the help of it's neighbors, the Don Cossacks, and holds the territory stretching from-- the Black Sea to the Caspian" .

AIR SERVICE IS
 MADE PERMANENT
Balloons Serve as Guides; Wire less Stations to Report Weather

London, March 3, Correspondence of the Associated Press) ).-Balloons are used as buoys above the clouds to mark the course of the long distance airplane mail service from Marol1ise, near Boulogne, France. to Cologne, Germany, says announcement of the Royal Air Force which is operatine this serVlce. Each balloon is marked with signs to indicate to the airpIanc pilot its exact locality and thus enable the pilots to shape their course anew when the weather is bad or the clouds are very low. The balloons also mark the landing grounds for the airplanes Observers in the balloons are required to report the condition of weather aooVe the cloud layer, the speed and direction of wind and to pass this in 1ol1hauon to the nearest wireless sta uon for transmission to the airnlane pilots.
 A chain of wireless stations has organized along the routes for the transmission of weather renorts
 
 pelleo to make a forced landing he is expected to report this ,ooo+ior hv "lreless or telephone, to the nearest wireless station so that motor +r,,clr can De despatched to recover +he mails and render assistance +o +bo airplane
 As it is the intention of the Royal AIT Force to maintain a night mail service on this route, a chain of 1ieht- houses also has been established and later, it is announced inc balloons VIII De fitted for carrying signal lights and remaining aloft at night as 2. fur ther guide to the pilots
 Should a pilot lose his wsv in the clouos, arrangeme ents have been made whereby he will be able to get in cohifnunlcation with a wireless station from which he can receive directions now to proceed to the nearest land ing ground, This wireless guidance is expected to be useful in bad weather or in night flying.
 Emergency landing grounds have messengers in case of accident. ton to the regular terminals and the airplanes carry pigeons to be used as messenger in case of accident.
 This through service from Mar quise to Cologne presents difficulties because of the range of hills 2,000 feet high between the fiat country of Northern France and the valley of the Rhine. This stretch of hilly country has few places suitable for landing and pilots flying above it frequently encounter clouds and bad weather.
 The Royal Air Force has for some time been carryin gmail regularly be- tween Marquise and Valenciennes and Namur, Belgium; and between Valenciennes and Spa, the headquar- ters of the armistice commission.
