GIRLS MUST READ
BEFORE THEY WE'D
Dozen Italian Lassies Are Kept
Away From Their Soldier
Lovers
ARE PAROLED TO LEARN

New York, March 3.-Twelve Italian
girls who came to the United States to
marry American soldiers. but who have
been held at Ellis island because they
could not pass the literacy test. learned
last night Washington had ruled they
may be admitted to the country for
sixty days, provided they sign a pledge
not to marry during that time.
If Senator William NJ. Calder's bill
to exempt them from the reading test is
passed. they will be free at any time to
wed their soldier lovers. Even il the
bill fails to become a law. there is u
chance for the girls, for during the sixty
Jays they may learn to read the required
forty words and return to Ellis island
to demonstrate their accomplishment.
Each soldier must get friend or rel g.
ative to furnish $500 bond to guar
antee that his prospective bride will
not become a public charge. The bonds
man will be required to inform the i'm e
migration officials every fifteen days
where the bride ELECT may be found and
must sign pledge to do all IN his power
TO prevent the couple from marrying
during the sixty DAY period.
The news spread so rapidly and the
doughboy Romeos acted so promptly
that it was said at Ellis island last
night four or five of the girls probably
would gain their freedom today, despite
the fact that some Of the men live in
distant cities. Every man has expressed
his determination to send his "girl" to
school-day, night or both-until she

said that in his opinion the turn had
come. He had been speaking of the
topsy -turvey conditions of things gen.
orally and the world unrest and the
causes for It.
He said he considered the significance
OF the re entry of Mr.. Asquith into the
political arena in England with such
an overwhelming majority. the failure
OF the French railroad strike and the
decision Of the railroad workers in the
United States not to fight the new
railroad bill, as giving confirmation to
his conclusions.
He drew a parallel from the French
revolution following the war Of 1870.
when. he said, after lot of wild ex-
periments. the French found themselves
and settled down into leading nation.
He remarked that his advice to in
vestors at the present time is to buy
good railroad and other high class ne
curities at present prices, for, IL his
conclusions are correct, the upward
movement is here. 90.
Reverting to the railroad situation.
he said that one railroad system in this
country. according to its high officials.
has been loaded during the government
operation with an excess Of "a 900 en-
Dloyes, which will be gradually reduced
to normal. The railroad officials, he re-
marked. have said, and he is in a posi-
ton to know. that they are going to get
100 per cent service instead Of the "a
per cent they are getting now.
He attributes the present condition Of
the stock and security market to tight
money. Time money in this city, he
says. does not exist. "'
He gave an instance Of a man taking
Liberty and other high class bonds as
loans to be told there was no money to
loan. 49,
Our business. he said, cannot be car =
ried on without money. He said they
needed It in large amounts in order to
take over large blocks of securities
which they would sell. but money. he
added. is not to be had. At the same
time he acknowledged that the action

endeavor to reduce imitation by calling

results in tight money for some time

AMERICANS LIKED GERMANY
Soldiers So Well Pleased Many Had
to Be Returned Home as Prisoners

Camp Dix. n. j., March 3.-Life in
the American army of occupation in
Germany is apparently so popular with
American soldiers that many of those
recently. ordered home to Camp Dix
objected to coming, and had to be brought
back as prisoners. They are now in
the camp stockade awaiting disposition
of their cases by court martial.
Pay of buck private, that in Ger.
many amounts to princely salary of
5000 marks month, with all living
expenses paid and relatively short hours
of service, made many Of the Ameri-
cans loath to leave. Dependents in this
country had asked that a few of them
be permitted to return to the United
States. but the majority. because they
we're deemed by officers as untitled for
duties of the army of occupation, were
among those who rebelled at the order
for their return.
