There's really no occasion, though,
for American girls to organize to

is but in 500, allowing for 2,000,-
600 eligible American boys in
France.
THE marriages of our soldiers
and the French girls are marriages
of pure roance," says Charles G.
Loeb, American counsellor attorney
in Paris. There's never a ques-
ton of dowry. Heretofore French
parents have always expected to
turn over a certain sum of money as

"Along comes our American and
never mentions money. All he wants
is the girl. And the French are
more than pleased. Among the hun

"One significant feature is sur
prisingly noticeable" says Loeb.
1.-THE only nation whose army gave
way to this epidemic of marriages

Americans for husbands"

SINS Of GIRLS
81 AIMED IN WAR
BY COURT JUDGE

'"The war is largely responsible
for an increase in cases of girls
who go astray."
This comment was made by Judge
William N. Gemmilll, in the Chicago
court of domestic relations when
he ordered fourteen warrants issued
for arrests in statutory cases. The
court said that this was the record
number for one day since he has
been presiding.
"S1nce the war and even now to
large extent there has grown up
family situation which has a great
deal to do with some of our social
troubles" declared the court. "Many
mothers who have formerly looked
after the home life of their children
have gone out to work while their
sons and husbands have been over
in France. Their daughters, free to
do as they please, have fallen into
bad company in many cases.
Things will change soon when
conditions are back to normal" the
judge added.
