Married Heroes
BY Frederic J. Haskln

New York, Dec. O.--The high cost
of living, which makes matrimOny such
hazardous adventure here these days,
has failed to discourage our soldiers In
Europe from rushing recklessly tn tho
altar II may be that the war, In develop
ing their valor has left them less discreet,
or IL may have made the European women
more determined At any rate, Judging
by the way VIZ brides continue to arrive
in New York ~ whole American army

Not only are they getting married
but they are marrying German girls
The last few cargoes OF war brides have
been almost solidly German. 80 that,
despite passport restrictions, the Teutonic
strain IN America is receiving rapid re
enforcement,
In the opinion of Mrs. Harriet NJ. Mac
Donald, director of tho Y. w. =. a.
hostess house, which IS taking care OF
the war brides during their stay IN Now
York, matrirnony among our soldiers
is merely matter Of propinquty. They
marry the nationality which Is nearest
To them. 10 the beginning OF the war
men were scattered all over Europe,
were welcomed ut hostess house.
Beaides the many French, British, and
Italian girls there were Czecho-Sioyaks
Sarbians, Jugo-Savs, Roumanianq, PortI-
g'iese, Spanish, Swedish, Norwegian.
Finnish, and Belgian girls, na we'll as
many Russians of a superior peasant type.

At this time there WAS law for
bidding American soldiers to marry
German girls. Ono so DOING WAS lIAble
to court martial, unless he obtained the
written consent of his commanding officer
Presumably this law Is still IN effect, but
Il so, the life Of commanding officer
IN tho American army Of occupation must
be one long consent.

Much more frequently, however, the
brides first act as an American citizen
on American goil is TO reduce rather than
add TO her husbands income On the
morning after her arrival che appears
with her hair freshly curied, an eager
look in her eyes, and request for an
Interpreter. She wants, shc tells the

question. The Interpreter summoned
may be a French or Italian Or RuBsian
linpuist, or a ROImanian or hugo -Slay,
but be question ls always the sarne.
Where, the war bride desires TO know,
do you buy silk stockings.
American baggage Is also IN great
demand by the war brides. Their own
baggage, brought from Europe, ~ most
curious and inadequate, consisting Of
odd boxes and baskets and even shavis.
These may bc all right for New York,
but the bride must have something more
modern and less conspicuous to carry
her belongings to hcr husbands home.
Most Of the brides stop for only few
day, or, at most, o couple of weeks,
at the hostess house, on their way IN the
west. the middle west, and the south, very
few of them remaining in New York Or
the vicinity. Their husbands are chiefly
factory workers, small tradcsmcD, and
petty clerks Of the same type az their

Woodrow Wilson, educator, states
man and president, is one CT the
greatest of living men. He was pres
ident of Princeton University when
nominated for governor of New Jer-
sey by the Democratic party, and was
elected by large plurality. While
governor, he became noted for his
various reform measures and, in
1912. was elected president by very
large plurality over his opponents,
Taft and Roosevelt, receiving great
majority of the electoral votes and
popular vote of over six million.
Many bills have been passed during
his terms as president which have
greatly benefited the nation, such as
the loan of money to farmers, the es-
adjustment of federal reserve hanks,
and many others. He has shown his
sound judgment, from time to time, in
dealing with the Mexican revolution
lists, and has been our great chief and
leader in the recent strife, He kept
this nation from war till at last we
either had to fight or be ignomlnious'
ly disgraced before all nations; then.
at the opportune moment, when our
entrance would do the most GOOD to
the Allied cause. he declared for war
and in less than a year and a half
cur enemies were upon their knees
begging for peace. Now he is one Of
the leading promoters for a League OF
Nations and has been suggested as
the first chairman. Under his leading
and diplomacy we are now standing
at our zenith, respected and honored
by our friends and feared by our en-
emies.
