Marriages Between German
Girls and U. S. Soldiers
May Not Be Permitted
By Associated Press.

Coblcnz. Thursday, July 24.-Re-
ports of marriages between Amer
lean soldiers and German girls have
been received at headquarters from
various parts of the occupied area
during the last few days, but as yet
no charges have been filed against
any of them, as it is believed most
of the marriages were due to mis-
understanding regarding the anti
determination regulations.
A week before the treaty was
signed, several of the chaplains
through a misunderstanding in
formed the soldiers that marriages
were permissible as soon as the
Germans accepted the peace terms.
Officers say that a number of mar
riages took place before this belief
was corrected by a special order
from headquarters calling the atten-
ton to officers and men to the fact
that until the United States ratified
the. treaty Germany and America
technically were at war and the
regulation prohibiting determination
was still in force.
At headquarters it is said that
even after the United States rati-
fies the treaty marriages with Ger
man girls will be prohibited by an
army order.

Lykens. July 26. The big Ly-
kens- -Wiconiseo celebration rapidly
is drawing to a close and those who
were busiest with arrangements say
that it has been an unqualified sue
cess, from the military memorial to
the parade in honor of the returned
veterans.
This morning the parade was held
and the soldiers who came from all
parts of the valley to participate say
that it couldn't have been more eff
ciently conducted. Starting at 10
o'clock, the parade followed a route
which took it through Lykens and
Wiconisco, the streets of which were
lined with shouting and cheering rel
atives and friends, who have long
waited to show their returning sol
diers how glad they are to welcome
them home.
Services Tomorrow
This afternoon saw several band
concerts in the borough park and
the exercises in honor of the soldiers,
when addresses of welcome and ap-
probation were delivered. This even
ing the big dance at the park will
practically close the celebration, al
though there will be more concerts
and a union church service of all
the churches in the vicinity to-mor-
row evening in the park.
The military memorial yesterday
proved to be one of the most i'm
pressive parts of the program.
After the singing of a few hymns
and the reading of a psalm, the Rev.
Paul d. Whitman, senior chaplain of
the Seventy-ninth Division, made
the address of welcome. Chaplain
Whitman was enthusiastic in praise
of our soldiers in France and told
many incidents of the splendid way
in which they conducted themselves.
He referred to many amusing Incl
dents in connection with their ar
rival and training on French soil,
which could only be appreciated by
the men who were overseas. The

Hucksters in the city are circulat-

against the passage of the forestall-

Council last Tuesday by Commits
sioner W. H. Lynch. 1t will likely
be presented to Council next week,
when the measure is called for final
passage.
Commissioner Lynch, who pre-

he expected opposition from some OF
the persons who might be affected by
the stringent provisions of the law.
Il believe it will be passed with
out any official opposition, however.
Such legislation is bound to hurt
those who have been guilty of fore

that they are liable to a heavy fine
or imprisonment for the offenses,
and rather than face either of these
they do not want the measure passed
finally"

The Senator said he represented

that every amendment proposed

10000 Thought Enough
For German Occupation
BIZ Associated Press.

Paris, July 26. - The size of the
force required for the occupation of
the Rhineland under the Peace
Treaty terms was discussed by the
Supreme Council to-day. For the
present, 1t is said, 10000 men will
be thought necessary on the left
bank of the Rhine.
The organization of the military
expedition for the occupation of ST.
lesia during the taking of the ple-
bescite also was considered. The
general understanding is that all the
Allied and associated armies should
be represented. Participation of
American troops, however, depends
upon ratification of the Peace Treaty,
1t is pointed out. as in case of un-
favorable action there would be no
longer a reason for the presence of
the Americans.

FOODSTUFF PRICES
HAVE WIDE RANGE
IN CITY MARKETS
Produce Is Sold at Top Figures With
Plenty at Hand

Prices of fruits and vegetables in
the city markets to-day reached a
wider range from minimum to
maximum than they had during the
last few months.
Whether this was due to the fear
of the forestallers that they were
being watched because of the ordi-
nance now before City Council which
prohibits it and also forbids price
fixing, could not be determined, but
customers at the various stands
were commenting on the range in
the prices asked by dealers.
There was evidence, however. of
some price fixing. and it was pre-
dicted that city officials must use
drastic measures to break up the
practice of gouging the people by
charging eXorbitant prices for pro-
duce.
Price Fixing
A city patrolman in uniform was
doing his usual marketing and ask
ed a woman the price of corn. 1t
was about o'clock this morning
Il haven't found out yet" she ans
wered, and went out to her market
wa gon to bring in other produce.
Other dealers in the vicinity of her
stall were charging 35 to As cents
dozen, and when she started sell
ing her price was three ears for ten
cents or 80 cents a dozen.
Another dealer brought a basket
ful of fine homegrown tomatoes to
market. Tomatoes at present are
high in price. He had just placed
the basket on his stand and was
asked how much he wanted for
them. Whether he thought a fore
staller intended to buy them and
L.
the price asked for some of the to-
matoes, he did not explain, but he
said he would not sell the whole
basket but intended to retail them
at 20 cents a box
Tomatoes Are High
1t was said that one forestaller
bought two baskets of tomatoes,
each containing IA quarts, from a
trucker, paying S1.75 for each one.
He then resold them at 25 cents
box and charged 10 cents each for
few of the larger tomatoes
Produce growers declare, however,
that the tomato crop was damaged
TO great extent by the heavy rains
of the last two weeks and said the
prices would remain high during
the entire season because of this
fact.
The berry supply was fairly plen-
tiful again and evidences of price
fixing among the dealers themselves
was shown when they put the ber-
ries on sale. In one of the markets
dealer with a large supply of
huckleberries of nice size, started to
sell them at 4.30 o'clock this morn
ing for 20 cents box. Fifteen
ns.nutes later he told his wife to
culrge 20 and % cents box for the
berries. He had been outside the
market a few minutes with another
farmer just before speaking to his
wife. Ten miutes later the berries
on that stand all were % cents
box, and at o'clock this morning
the price was 25 cents.
