ELKTON, Md, May 12-War Is
bringing Elkton, Maryland's ever
blooming Gretna Green, its greatest
marriage year in history for the
nonce.
At the present rate Elkton would
count 10000 marriages this year
1000 above the record of 16,054 in
1888 just before the 48-hour "wait"
law designed to curb this wedding
center took effect.
Altar-minded couples are throng-
ing to the little town with its forest
of minister and marriage license
signs at the rate Of a q day, and
about 40 per cent of bridegrooms are
service men.
Rationing May Thwart Cupid.
But just as it Is war that prom
ises Elkton its best year, so also war
may nip 1t in the bud. No one
knows what effect tire and gasoline
rationing and even credit control
may have. Elktonites would like to
know; they figure each couple
spends about SIS here.

We're for the al-out slap EN-

We're for the al-Out slap en-
down-quick pursuit Of this war, but
we remember the British found that
normal living, so far as it was pos
sfble, was mandatory, and therefore
reopened their movie houses, went
fishing when and where it was pos
sible, and followed nearly their
normal ways.
An Optimistic Viewpoint.
We try to believe, that as soon as
the wasteful use Of gasoline is pre-
vented, the ration will be expanded
to point where, with judicious use,
normal summer activities may con-
tinue; that, by doubling up and
filling every seat bay trips may con-
tinue, at least to the extent that
those not in other war work may
continue their normal gainful oc-
cupations.

British Troops Left
In Starving Greece

American Youth Reports
Greeks Assist Those
Who FoiIed to Escape
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LISBON, May 12.-George Beys,
a 19-year-old American of Greek
extraction, who is awaiting repatria-
ton here, said yesterday that British
troops still were at large in starving
Greece, and that one officer recently
killed seven italian soldiers on the
streets OF Athens before he himself
was slain.
Beys, whose home is in New York,
spent 10 years in school in Athens
and left there at Christmas to join
Americans waiting to be moved from
Italy under an exchange agreement.
He told this story Of Axis occupied
Greece:
THE Greeks, despite their own
suffering, have cared for British
soldiers who failed to escape during
the occupation. Recently one Brit
ish officer walked out Of Greeks
home to find two Italian carabinieri
waiting for him.
Shot Down Escaping.
"The officer drew revolver and
shot them dead as they were lifting
their rifles. Then he ran to q ga
rage. A furious battle developed be-
tween this lone soldier and Italian
'reinforcements' armed with Tommy
guns. The Briton killed three more
and wounded five.
I'm another dash into the open,
German soldiers shot him down at
Concordial Square. Those Axis SOL
diers were so scared they continued
to pump at least 80 bullets into his
body.
IT myself encountered another
English officer in a cafe. He was
starving and on the run. A Greek
bought him 2 pounds Of grapes,
which he wolfed down. He also
was given new clothing and a place
to hide. His name was Johnnie
and he'd lived in Alexandria. He
said good-by and said it's only fair
that I should keep moving. Any
way, i always 4A4lO q AlCW 4AiC4A0 0e

Greeks Still Fighting.
1.-THE Greeks are that way. De-
spite their own troubles they are
still fighting. Immediate reprisals
follow any demonstrations. One
example was the beating to death
of a Greek youth outside q theater.
I don't know what he'd done. But
ne died under a rain of fists, boots
and rifle butt blows.
THE death rate from starvation
Is such now that nobody looks when
the carts Of dead pass through the
streets. The money long ago ran
out for many. They eventually just
drop on the streets.
"An orange used to cost the equiv
alent of 2h cents. Now one costs
so cents. An egg is about SO cents.

mans. And also the crowds whose
noses press against the outside Of

officers inside eat meat, bread and
