Head or Pay for Her;
Marriage is Annulled

PARIS, Wednesday. Nov. 26.-Be-
cause he had neither captured nor
purchased his bride. according to the
traditional custom Of Mongolia, a
young French diplomat assigned to a
post In the far east had his marriage
with an American actress annulled by
the French courts yesterday.
The diplomat met the American in
Shanghai and after a short courtship
they eloped to Mongolia, where they
were married before Belgian catholic
missionary. Their idyll was short
lived as the American girl, according
to her husbands story, remained only
a few days before departing without
leaving any address.
The court held the marriage was
not valid as French law requires
Frenchmen marrying abroad to have
the ceremony performed before a
French diplomatic officer or according
to the usages Of the country In which
the marriage is performed.
In Mongolia there are only two
modes of marriage consecrated by ira
ditions-capture and purchase. The
cost Of a wife varies from FIVE camels
for young girl, to thirty or forty
camels for an old widow, the latter be-
ing quoted higher than all other
classes

other western Michigan cities, fed
their homes in panic, fearing an earth
quake. Houses were shaken, the coun-
try was illuminated as by a bright
suns ray, so all-enveloping it was i'm

rumbling as Of terrific explosion.
