Partisan Singer Says Yanks
Will All Want French
Wives.

Chicago. Jan. 1e-Mlle. Yvonne
Gall, of the Chicago Opera Com
pany. herself a Parisienne. and ID
relative Of Marshal Petain. says it's
true that at least 25O,OOo Yanks will
wed French girls.
American soldiers. she says, are
struck by the home life Of French
girls, and never again will be satis-
fed with girls of their native coun-
try. She doesn't hold. however. that
French girls have greater beauty or
charm than their American cousins.
Our girls are perhaps not as
clever as yours said the opera
singer. but they are more lovable'
more appealing to the heart OF a
brave. good man. Here's the differ
encN:
THE French girl follows her hus-
bond: the American wants to lead
him. The French girl is happy in do
ing for the one she loves; the Amer
lean girl demands he serve her.
French wives are helpmeets of their
husbands: not their slave drivers.
French daughters obey their parents
do not dictate to them. French moth
ers are teachers of their children; not
their servants.
Your wonderful American soldiers
have seen all this, and will not be
content to be treated again as the
American girls treat their sweethearts.
II they come back to America finally
they will find it necessary to return
to France either to live there with a
French girl. or bring one back to the
United States"

that the activities of the organization
would continue on the same scale in

Referring to the work of the knights
with the soldiers, Secretary Daniels

appreciated the assistance in winning
the war they had received from the

Cardinal Gibbons made a per-
