MANY WAR BRIDES
ARE REACHING us.
Red Cross Greets 375, Aver
aging II Years, at Newport
News In Six Weeks.

Cupid seems to have been active in
France with the American soldiers.
judging from tthe number Of war
brides the Red Cross has welcomed
into Newport News, Va. According
to figures just announced. 375 French
girls. averaging seventeen years old.
have arrived in that port in the last
six weeks.
Working in cooperation with the
overseas 7. w. c. A, which takes
charge of the mesdames before they
sail, Miss N. F. Willison, head of the
Red Cross reception committee on
this side. is the first to welcome the
brides as their ships anchor in Hamp-
ton, roads. Classes in English and
geography are maintained on ship
board to familiarize the newcomers
somewhat with their adopted country.
Miss Wilson boards the transport
with the immigration officials at New
having the brides pass through the
necessary .formalities for entrance into
this country. They are then brought
ashore and transported by the Red.

According to figures, the smallest
percentage of soldiers who married
in. France came from the Potomac d.
vision, which is composed of the Dis
trict Of Columbia, Maryland, Virginia
and West Virginia. Only seven MEM
bers of this division brought back
brides. One of them-Mrs. Joseph
Jeffres, whose maiden name was
Agnes Hardy and who lived at Cha
teaubriand, Loire, will make her home
with her husband at 413 street
of this city. Jeffres is at
present in the hospital at Camp Stu,

trying to have him furloughed to
bring his bride to his home.
Every effort Is made to reach a
understanding with these
and to help them to adj

H0TELMEN IN 1HEFTS
Representative Treadway Offers
Bill Against Liability for Losses
in Unlocked Rooms.

Because practically all states in the
Union except the District Of Column
bia have laws to protect the proprie-
tors of hotels from liability for losses
OF yaluables from rooms that are left

duced such a measure in the House

that the renting Of rooms and the
serving of meals is the stock in trade
OF the hotel. but that people have
come to expect the hotel also to fur
nish safe deposit facilities that they

the corner. It Is not fair, he said. for
this added responsibility to be forced

sation, and to make him liable for
