PARIS. Jan. 7.--American boys arr
msrrying French girls at the rate o.
more than 400 each month.
10 is estimated that 1000 soldiers ol
lie United States Army OF Occupation
will return home with French brides
There's really no occasion, though, foi
american girls to organize to divert
Cupids activities. The ratio is but one
in 500. allowing for 100000 eligible
american boys in France.
Why all these marriages between
American soldiers and French girls
What Will happen when the lanks
leave for homer Charles G. Loeb, one
Of the chief American attorneys IN
Paris, has this to say
THE marriages Of our soldiers and
the French girls are marriages Of pure
romance. There's never a question OF
dowry. Heretofore French parents
have always expected to turn over a
certain sum of money as dowry to
tie man who would marry one of their
daughters.
,"Along comes our American and never
mentions money AN he wants is the
4rl And he French are more than
p1eased. Among the hundreds OF such
marriages ! have known OF. at not a
single one was the question or money
brought up"
These unions became So frequent and
Loeb was so busy handling them that
Ila has prepared a pamphlet on the legal
requirements and formaliiies for the
inarrlagc Of Americans I'M France. The
pamphlet makes marriage for our sol
l)ers in this country quite simple.
Zone significant feature is surprls-
iagly noticeable. says Loeb. lhe

IN most cases the girl knows little

to boundaries, reparation and other
branches of the treaty. 1t is believed
that the revised league covenant will
be ready for adoption at the end Of
next week.
A letter signed by President Wilson
and Premiers Clemenceau and Or
lando was handed to Premier Lloyd
George this afternoon, strongly urg-
ing. him to postpone for fortnight his
return to England, in view of the
urgency of the problems before the
peace conference. Mr.. Lloyd George
will submit the letter to the British
cabinet and is understood will act in
accordance with its views.
The British delegation to the peace
conference, IL was announced today,
had consented to refer to the su-
preme council the question of the
future ownership of the German
cables TO America. All parties inter-
ested in the question are preparing
briefs.
Disposition of German warships is
not likely to be included in the treaty
of peace, according to the view of the
American peace delegation. Germany.
however, will be required to surren-
der title to the ships. The ultimate
ownership will be determined later.
The Notifications on the island Of
Helgoland, Germany's formidable
base in the North Sea, must be dis
mantled. This decision was reached

Wilson will hold an important con-
ference with Premiers Lloyd George,
Orlando and Clemenceau at the Paris
White House today. This gathering
of premiers, representing the supreme
directing force of the peace confer
ence, takes the place of the session
of the supreme council, which has

The question to be discussed is a
large one of securing accord between
the great powers on all phases OF the
peace treaty and its early presenta-
tion to the Germans. 1t is expected
an agreement will be reached as to
the inclusion of the League of Ma
tions as an integral part of the peace
treaty, in accordance with the reso-
luton which has been already adopt
ed by the peace conference.
Special interest attaches to todays
conference in view of recent reports of
Emergencies between the powers and
to the inclusion of the league plan in
the treaty. The meeting is looked
upon as an earnest, decisive effort to
reconcile all views into q common
understanding for an early conclusion
of peace in a comprehensive form, in
cluding military, naval, economic and
financial terms, as well as the lesgue
of nations.
Present plans contemplate the COM
pletion of hearings given neutral ma
tions on the league of nations during

The removal Iof every pound of
high explosive from the Morgan Gen
eral Ordnance Depot by June / was
promised by Lieutenant Colonel A.
L. Stewart of the ordnance depart
ment when he met Mayor Frank Dor
sey of this city and Mayor Gordon of
South Amboy in the Office of Major
Dove at the depot early this after
noon.
For the present the ordnance de-
partment will have to continue to
store q certain amount of high ex-
plosives at Raritan arsenal, the col
onel declared, but conditions there are
such, he claimed, that an explosion
would be almost impossible and if 1t
were 10 reach the bounds of possibil-
ity, could not do any great damage or
spread to any great extent because
of the methods of construction used
there.
The conference today was held at
the invitation of Col Stewart and
was attended by the two mayors, a
NEWS representative and Major
Dove. The executives left with the
impression that the people of the two
cities can rest assured that no danger
exists at Morgan, and with the possi-
bility of a repetition of the disaster
of October 4 reduced to an almost
negligible minimum.
Col. Stewart explained that there
had been delay in shipments to Fort
Wingate, New Mexico, where the
government is erecting a huge stor-
age ground for high explosives. be-
cause of an exceptionally severe WIN
ter there, with heavy, falls of snow
which had made the terrain impass-
able. This situation has been cor
rected and by March 20, he declared,
it should be possible to start the ship

Former Judge Robert L. Carey,
of Hudson county, one of the
speakers at the Republican dinner
in New Brunswick last night,
struck a popular chord when he
told of his solution of the Bolshe-
Wiki and L. w. w. problem in this
country.
IF it was in my power to do as

bill introduced-and passed-in

Washington which would result
in every man found guilty of
working against America being
exiled to some nice hot island
somewhere in the South Seas,
which 1 would call Bolshevikiland.
And wouldn't that be a nice, quiet
placer" the speaker said.

trolled," he said that every bit of
high explosive now at the Morgan
depot should be shipped out of there
and on the way to Fort Wingate be-
tween May 1 and June /.
When the TINT is removed from
Morgan there will be nothing left
there but a little black powder. The
depot will then be used for the stor-
age of inert ordnance components.
He said that even the quantity of
INT at the plant now could not cause
such a disaster as occurred in Octo-
ber as the INT is in a cold state now
and is in storage and not in operation.
The danger from this explosive comes
from handling the material when 1t is
hot. He declared that INT Is very
insensitive except when heated and
that he could not see where there was
anything to worry about now. There
is at present stored at Moragn less
dangerous material than is allowable
under the New Jersey state laws, he
said.
The mayors were highly satisfied
with the report on Morgan and Mayor
Dorsey then turned to a discussion
of conditions at Raritan. The colonel
said that for the present the ordnance
storing considerable quantities of ex-
plosives there. The department has
not the space at the present time, he
said, to take care of all the explo-
sives. The plant, he declared, was
well designed in accordance with the
American table of distances and the
New Jersey state laws governing the
storage of explosives.
The matter of the civilian guard
was also taken up and the two off,
GERS seemed to be of the same opinion
in asserting that the present civilian
guard at both Morgan and Raritan
was far more efficient than a guard
of soldiers would be.

A decided revival of building all

BIG Revival COMES
IN BUILDING ALL
OVER The COUNTRY

yelopment reports that approximately
500, 100000 in private building con-
tracts were reported to it in Febru-
airy. The total of the January con-
tracts was only half that sum.
Each Week Shows Work Increasing
Nearly all the states showed AN
increase from week to week during
work. The New England states. for
instance. in the first week of Febru-
airy reported contracts awarded to the
amount of s330,000; in the second
week, s55O,000; third week, $660, 900,
and fourth week, 100000. OF this
construction % per cent. was of an
industrial character, 80 per cent
business, and 46 per cent. residential.
New England's showing, however,
is far behind that of the western
states. Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin, In
diana, Michigan, Missouri and Kan
sas show a fiVe-fold increase in Feb
ruary over January. In this district
the figures are: First week in Febru-
airy. $15,O00.000; second week, $9,-
100000; third week, s46,00O,0O0;
fourth week, s50,000,000.
In the middle west 91z per cent
of the construction contracts for Feb
ruary were for private construction.
per cent. state and municipal work
and one-half per cent. government
construction.
New York and New Jersey also
show important increases in Febru-
airy, and in these two states residen-
tial building made up only 10 per
cent. of the total. Ohio. West Vir-
ginia and Pennsylvania also show a
slight improvement over the January
figures, and 3S per cent OF the total
was for residences.
Minnesota and the Dakotas report
ed contracts of about 100000 as
against 100000 for January.
These facts show that the hesitancy
about starting construction projects
because of the high cost of materials
is apparently being overcome all over
the country.
