natives Of Samos are now faring not
so badly.
The British cruisers and mine
sweepers which made their base at
Port Vathy, on Samos, are now leav-

SamOs shore was ably defended by
British men Of war, and daring raids
were made across to the -Samsoun

hundreds Of Asia Minor Greeks to
cross to Samos and join the Greek
army.
Many American soldiers Of Greek
parentage are now visiting the Greek
islands after having fought in France.
Red Cross girls recently distributing
food to refugees sitting about on the
pink and white marble columns Of
what once was the palace Of Poly
crates were greeted by a group of
American soldiers.
"What are you Americans doing on
this far-of island?" the girls inquired
in astonishment.
"0h, we've finished up our work
along the Rhine" one American
Greek replied, "and now we've come
back to the home Of our fathers.
Right out there in the Straits of
Mycale was fought the naval battle,

WEALTHY YOUNG AND OLD VIC.
TINS OF BRIDE BARTER MART

New York, July IA new swindle
game, by which wealthy brides are
won by gallant young adventures
who seek only their victims money, Is
undsr investigation In this city.
Progress thus far made indicates
that q bartered brides mart really ex-
lists here and that II il operated by a
small clique Of men who make their
headquarters In one Of the most fash
iOnable and expensive hotels in the
city.
This coterie Of grating match
makers appears, on the face Of re-
ports and evidence already CLEANED,
10 be composed principally of a type
Of adventurers thrown constantly
with women Of wealth In such places
a. hairdressing parlors, dressmalking
establishments and In some Of the
most expensive hotesl in the city.
The scheme In this: The male hair
dresser, for instance, picks out an
eligible victim from among the pa
trOns be serves. e reports to the
CLIQUE. There are usually two prime
requisites, aside from the wOman's
money and the fact that she Is unat-
tached. She must be either advanced
In years or . young girls who Is
chatting under restrictions or unhappy
conditions in her home.
These two types the swindlers ap-
parently find are the most susceptible
to the wiles Of the handsome young
adventurers picked to WOO and win
them.
Usually, according to the reports,
an agreement IL made between the
conspirators. The men in the Clique
furnish the gallant with sufficient
funds to entertain the intended victim
lavishly, to shower her with flowers
and gifts and to press the matter to
the altar.
And usually, when the romance"
reaches an advanced stage, there is
also IN agreement between the wooer
and the bride-elect-a pre-nuptial
understanding about money. The mar
riage performed, the settlement made,
the adventurer splits the purse won
with the man who picked the victim.
When the income from match"
ceases, the perpetrator Of it loses in
terest and casts about for further VIC
tins. The adventurer-husband, hav-
ing repaid his debt to the chooser OF
his brite elects himself whether it is
worth while to continue in the mari
tai estate or to precipitate q shatter-
ing Of the romance"
There are indications that several
young men with foreign titles are
taking part in the bartered bride
game.
