Desire to Marry French
Girls and Liquor Luring
Yanks Abroad.

That the lure of Paris is still
strong. even on the doughboys who
were rabidest in their desire to get
home ''toot sweet" is proved by the
numbers of former soldiers from
the United States who are returning
to France by every boat.
Returning doughboys already out
number tourists two to one. They
are coming back with all manner
of eXcuses-as travelling statesmen,
as travellers at leisure, as agents
for various businesses and as just
plain unemployed looking for a job.
The Red Cross, which still main
tains a gigantic organization in
Europe. is employing as many
stranded former soldiers as il can,
but complaints already have been
heard in Washington about arm
chair" jobs in France and many
who seek work with the A. r. C.
fail to find it. The American Le-
gion can't do more than make fu-
tile hunt for jobs for them.
Two reasons are given by the for
mer soldiers for returning to
France. First, they want to be
somewhere they can buy a drink" 4"
and second, they want to marry
French girls. The last is the excuse
heard oftenest.

American General
Mistakes Noblemen
For Race Gamblers

Viscount Churchill has just told
the story of an amusing faux pas
made by an American general at
the first Ascot Race meeting after
the war.
"A certain very eminent Ameri-
can general was on one of the
stands with a friend of mine" he
said. 'and was very Interested TO
see the king proceed up the course
in state in the royal procession. In
the last carriage were four noble
lords, members of the kings house
party. They all wore grey top-hats
with black band, called donkey
stealers'
Say, who are they in the last
carriage? asked this eminent Amer
ican general. Are they the kings
bookmakers?

ITALIANS PLAN

Celebrations to Mark 50th
Anniversary Of Nation
Unity.

ItalianAmericans are preparing,
through the Order of the Sons OF
Italy. for extensive celebrations
throughout the United States of the
fiftieth anniversary of the unifica-
tion of Italy. September 20, 1870.
The date has been annually cele-
brated IN Italy, but this year, be-
cause of its being the half-century
mark, will witness longer and more
complete festivities.
The event Will be marked by a
picnic AID parade in New York City,
followed probably by mass meet.
ings where prominent orators will
hold forth. In Italy. II is said, a
grand Masonic congress will be the
feature of the occasion. In the ma
tive land postage stamps are be-
ing printed commemorative of the
historic significance.
Italian unification or rebirth came
about as a result of the war between
Prussia and France in 1870. When
Napoleon III found that the war was
not to be the march on Berlin" as
he had been led to believe, he or
dered the French troops that had oc-
cupied Rome for twenty-one years
withdrawn. With that obstacle re-
moved, Italian nationalists easily
overcame the slight resistance OF
the Papal troops and entered the
Eternal City, proclaiming Victor
Emmanuel II King Of Italy.
The victory not only gave com
plete unity to the Italian states that
had been seized by Austria, France
and Prussia. as well as those occU-
pied by papal authority, but it also
ended the temporal power of the
Pope. When the nationalists refused
to heed his pleas, for church tenn
pornl sovereignty, Pope Plus TX re-
tired to the Vatican and there en-
tered voluntary imprisonmen Mt
within the gardens of church estate
To this day no papal ruler has left
the Vatican.
Among the Italians now classed as
nationalist heroes, and who aided in
bring about the unification of the
country, are Garibaldi, Mazzini
CavoUr and Victor Emmanuel II.

COSTS TOO MUCH

(Continued From Page One.) the same reason usually less in amount. It follows that for very large numbers of people receiving re. latively small incomes, a weeks wage in 1918 was purchasing much less than TT per cent of the food it bought in 1918.
 Food absorbs 3S.2 per cent of the average American households in come. It therefore constitutes no dn- considerable part of the wage and salary cost in all production. Of two communities whose products enter t2e same markets otherwise equally. that one which supplies it's working people with food at a lower compar- atIvely cost either will pay it's work ing people higher real wage or will have marked advantage in under selling the other through lower pro- duction costs.
