5000 AMERICAN SOLDIERS \
MARRY FRENCH GIRLS

Paris, March 8, Correspondence of
The Associated Press. THAT Cupid
was nearly busy as Mars with the
members of the American EXpedi-
tionary Force and that romance
bloomed in France in spite of wars
alarms is shown by the fact that more
than six thousand French women
have been wooed and won by AmeriA
can soldiers within one year. The
majority of the French girls who have
become Americans through marrying
men and officers of the American Elk
peditionary Force are stenographers,
salesgirls or teachers with sprink-
ling of peasant girls and those of the
middle class or bourgeoisie.
The romances are in most cases
very similar A soldier would be bille'
ted with a French family member
of which would be girl of marriage
able age Together they would delve
into the intricacies OF the French
language, sign language being prompt
ly superseded by combination of
Anglo-French jibberish.

THE BOLsHE VISITS
lsy MORNING ,oosN11 ssre,., ,..s,, w,..,

tsY MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED wIHEl
New York. Dec. 1S.--Finland need
not be counted upon for aggressive
action against Bolshevism according
to II, Montagu Donner. an American,
who has just returned from a two
months visit to the new republic in
the north
Mr. Donner. who Is president of the
Finland Constitutional League of
America, said that the chance to en-
list the active cooperation of the
Finnish army in the campaign against
Petrograd was lost this summer,
when Admiral Kolehak, General Yu-
denitch and the other anti-Bolshev-
ist Russian leaders neglected to give
timely recognition to the independ-
ence of Finland and the allied gov
ernments refused to give assurance of
financial support without which Fin
uand could not venture to enter upon
war with the soviet government.
At that time, he said. the Morale Of
the Bolshevist army was low and the
capture of Petrograd by the combined
Russian, Esthonian and Finnish
armies would have been easy. Now,
with the collapse of the Yudenitch
self to holding her frontiers and pro-
teeting eastern Karelia, which she
had been invited by the inhabitants to
occupy.
Fear or BOlSheVlSm IN Finland 1t
self he said had entirely Disappeared,
even moderate socialists having as
sured the existing coalition govern
ment of their support in case of re-
vival of the Red insurrectionary
movement which was suppressed with
so much difficulty year go. Fear
has disappeared too Of a repetition
this year of the famineS under which
Finland has suffered so severely dur
ing the war. because the harvest has
been exceptionally good. Food is
abundant in Helsingfors and through
to last through until the next harvest
without resort to bark bread" and
other famine substitutes of which the
Finnish population has such unhappy
recollections.
Business conditions are good ex-
cept for the extreme depreciation of
the Finnish mark and the lack OF
shipping to carry Finnish exports.
Laage quantities of timber, wood
pulp and paper are awaiting export
In exchange for required imports of
which the most pressing are machin-
cry agricultural implements, etc. A
good market is offered for American
goods of this character.
Another handicap under which
cost of labor, Mr.. Donner declare,
The workmen now worked only about
seven hours daily the five O'Clock
closing hour having been made prac-
ticallv universal in all lines of indus
try and business, while wages had
greatly increased as against pre-wsir
times.

Washington. Dec fS-The senate
| held its fifth night session on the rail-
road bill tonight with grave doubt in
the minds of the leaders, that the
measure could be passed in time TO
permit beginning of the holiday re-
cess Saturday,
The labor clauses. including the
anti-strike provision of The Cummins
measure, were under discussion dur
ing the day, eliminating in the rejec-
ton by a vote Of IS TO 46 of the pro-
posal of senator Stanley, democrat, OF
kentucky, to eliminate the whole sec
tion, Efforts towards compromise
ensued
During the debate an agreement
was reached by senate and house ma
joritv leaders not to permit a holiday
recess until the measure is through the
senate and sent to conference. AT their
conference, however. Senator Lodge
and Representative Mondell agreed to
suspend house business Saturday TO
permit members of the lower body TO
go home for the holidays, even ii the
senate is held by delay on the railroad
bill Beginning Monday, house Ses-
sions will be perfunctory under gem
tleman's agreement to transact no
business until January 5, but to adj
iourn from day to day until the senate
recess.
The anti-strike provisions were in
turn attacked and defended today
while conferences were held looking
to q compromise by modifying the
clause imposing criminal penalties for
strikes or lockouts.
Strikes Are Intolerabie,
After defeat of the Stanley motion
to strike out the entire labor section,
Senator Mccormick, republican. = OF h
linols. offered a substitute plan, SINH
lar to the Canadian system to prohibit
strikes for sixty DAYS after decisions OF
the adjustment board and requiring
decisions from the boards within nine
~ days.
Senator Thomas. democrat, of Colo
rado. supporting the Cnmmins labor
proposal. declared railroad strikes to
be intolerable in their effect upon the
general public,
Opposing the anti-strike section.
Senator Walsh, democrat, Of Massa-
chusetts, said that criminal penalties
for strikes would not accomplish their
purpose, The Cummins plan, he char
acterized as 'repressive, unfair and
unjust
strikes among certain classes OF
employees are unJustifiable and among
these are railroad employees" declared
Senator Walsh. but we cannot chain
them to their posts, like galley
slaves" Congress. the Massachusetts
senator held, should remove the In
centive and causes of strikes by en-
actment of arbitrary legislation with
out the banning Of what he declared
to inherent right to strike.
Mccormick Resolution Rejected.
:. On a tie vote OF 81 TO 3 the snbstt-
tute of Senator McCormlcki republi-
can, of Illinois, for the anti-strike pro-
vision was rejected and Mr. McCor-
mick gave notice that he would ask
for another vote later.
