FRENCH GIRLS IN MAJORITY AS BRIDES

Far Exceeded All Other Nationalities in Eyes of Boys of U. S. French girls far exceeded all other foreigners for popularity In the eyes of Hie American soldiers, sailors and marines, according to a report of the number of brides brought hack to this country by members of the A. E. F. Records of nationality of wives of American military and naval men returned to this country kept at the port of embarkation at Hoboken shows Hint out of a total of 3.705) brides, 2,295 were French girls. Cntil March 15 the nationalities of Europeans married by American service men abroad and returned to this country were French, 2.295; British, 1.101; Luxembourgolse, 92; Belgian. 79; Italian. 41; German. 31; Russian. 23; Spanish. 7; Swiss. 5; Polish, 5; Greek, 4; Dutch. 3; Roumanian. 3; Serbian, 2; Jugo-SInv. 2; Czech, 1; Mexican, 1; unknown, 14. These figures represent only the number of foreign brides brought home by members of the American Expeditionary Forces who were received am) cured for in the hostesses’ houses under the supervision of the Red Cross at Hoboken. A number also came by commercial boats, and of these there Is of course, no record at the port of embarkation. It is understood that a total of approximately 5.(KK» members of the American Expeditionary Forces married foreigners.

TRAVEL AND GET RICH Money Gains in Value Ten Times During Little Trip. Theoretically, it would seem possible to turn £10 into £100 merely by taking a short trip through France, Switzerland and Italy, says a Swiss correspondent to the London Daily Graphic. He gives this formula: Take a £10 banknote into France and change It for 420 silver francs. With these enter Switzerland, where they will buy 2.100 Italian paper lire, then pa'* into Italy and cash into lialiun silver. You now have 2,100 Iiallnn silver lire. Take these back Into Switzerland and you have 2.100 Swiss francs, as the silver lire are accepted here as 'eipinl in value to Swiss francs. Now buy French paper money, and you will receive 4.2011 French francs. Return to France, where you buy English notes, and you get £100—more or less. Practically, It Is not so easy, ns silver coin Is rare on the continent, and there is the French prohibition against carrying more than 1,000 francs out of the country.

KEEPS BEEF OVER 103 YEARS Family Preserves Piece of Meat Cooked in 1805. i A piece of beef rooked In 1805 is still being carefully preserved In a little silver pltcbpr b> Edward R Manwaring of Ann Arbor. Mich. This is not being kept In anticipation of n further Increase In the eost of beef, but Is ii genuine heirloom. Sergt. Joseph Hohhins of the British royal murines saved this piece of beef, which he was eating when assainted with an axe by a cook on a French vessel which had been captured by Lerd Nelson at Trafalgar. The cook missed his aim, hut the sergeant got the beef. Sergeant Hohhins was the great- • great-grandfather of Lieut. Col. Edward II.

This officer is said to be Die only member of the United States marine corps who Is n direct descendant of a former royal marine of Great Britain.

LAND WITHOUT A SMILE

Germany Thu* Detcnbed by American Visitor. Irving T. Bu*h of New York recently visited France. Belgium. Holland and Germany. Of conditions In the latter country lie says: "We went to the occupied territory first." he continued, “and then drove about 300 miles through Germany proper, Including the city of Frankfort. but did not go to Berlin. I had been Informed there was no merchandise In Germany, but I found the warehouses packed with It everywhere I went- The people went about their work In a quiet, determined manner and kept their grief to themselves. I never heard the German people complain about their losses through the war In lives or property, and they never discussed the kaiser or the crown prince In my hearing. The country can best be described ns the land without a smile, because I never saw n German man or woman laugh while I was lu their territory.”

ers have big ears, as is well known. And Justice of the Pence H. de la Montanya knows that his sons, Lloyd and Herbert. 14 and 12 years old. are such good listeners that they almost learned enough the other night to kill

them.

The Judge ami his wife and sons were at the home of n neighbor not long ago and the neighbor explained all about distilling whisky. Several nights later the Judge and his wife returned from a picture show to discover a strange odor coining from their kitchen. They found their sons lying semi-conscious on the floor and a sickening odor filling the room. On the stove was a tea kettle with a rubber hose attached. In the kettle was a concoction of corn and molasses. The boys were trying to make "moon-

shine.”

Dr. R. G. Dudley, who attended the lads, said they would soon recover.

NEW FLU SCOURGE IS FOUND

Is exacting almost unhindered toll among the children of Vienna, according to reports from the Red Gross missions at Vienna to national headquarters here. The disease. which has thus far defied the power of medical science, leaves Its victim stupefied and terribly ennieiated. tine child aged seven years, according to the Red Cross reports, weighed only 29 pounds when it died a victim of the disease. Fighting against the almost Insurmountable obstacle of lack of medicine. supplies and food. American Red Cross physicians have sought to stop the spread of the disease. Hospitals are overcrowded, for a long period of convalescence is required for those who recover. The extraordinarily cold weather of the Austrian winter contributed largely to the prevalence of the epidemic among children. Without food and clothing, ami In a generally weakened physical condition, they quickly succumb to flic disease.

SISTER THINKS CZAR ALIVE

Grand Duchess Olga Goes to Denmark to Take Up Residence — Found in Rags. Constantinople, Turkey. — Grand Duchess Olga Alexander, sister of Former Emperor Nicholas of Russia, bus gone to Denmark, where she will reside permanently. She firmly believes her brother and his family are alive. The grand duchess, who was formerly the wife of Duke I’eter of Oldenburg. old a hied a divorce and during the war served as a Russian nurse. While engaged in this work she met Colonel Knlniko, whom she married. She came here from Novorossiysk on a refugee steamer with her husband and two young sons, and won admiration by her democratic attitude. She refused to accept any special privileges and at the disinfection station at the refugee camp in the Frinklpos islands she sat on her luggage, holding her two children, waiting her turn. She could have claimed exemption from this troublesome process, which has been rendered necessary by the spread of typhus, hut she refused to do so. The grand duchess recently was found by Red Cross workers clothed in rags and living in a box ear.

FRANCE HAS LONG-RANGE GUN Shoots 100 to 120 Miles—Americans Ask to See Tests of the Weapon.

USE WAR ARTS IN PEACE im Lessons Learned “Over There” to Be Used in Making of Maps.

WORK NOW WELL UNDER WAY

Plan Worked Out by Which Varioua Government Boards Will Co-Op-erate in Making Large Scale Map of Country. New York.—While drawing up a summary of intelligence for a corps of maneuver in France Inst winter the officer in charge found himself In need of a little outside information. Turning to his sergeant, he said; "Sergeant, where Is the island of St. Helena ?•’ "Sir.” said Die sergeant, “I do not know; but if Die colonel will furnish me with a car and a hochured map I’ll find It.” Our three armies went to the front with a supply of maps which contributed mightily to our success. Last July, says Die New York Post, the engineering council called President Wilson's attention to the lack of co-ordina-tion In the mup-muklng agencies of this country. The matter was not pigeon-holed; various bureaus were requested to confer and decide upon a general plan by which the work could be carried on most expeditiously and without overlapping or duplication. To Map 3.000.000 Square Miles. To make large-scale maps of over three million square miles of territory is a gigantic task. But It is hoped and believed that it will he achieved. One danger lies in overorgunization. There are at present no fewer than eleven map-making and three map-using boards operating under government control. It will readily be seen that Die bureau of soils needs one kind of map, the bureau of Indian affairs another. But, except for highly specialized work, the United States geological survey would seem to be the logical body to prepare the standard topographic maps. It lias its own photolithographlc and engraving plants, and the maps it has already produced have been declared by experts to be the equal of any. It is safe to assume that it was the excellence of detail of the maps furnished us hy the allies that led the conference to feel that to do the work for Die whole country as France or Germany had done it wo Aid take too much Dine. Better a map with few details now than one with alt in the distant future. One-third of Die area of continental United States, exclusive of Alaska, has already been mapped in this fashion. The establishment of basic horizontal and vertical controls is about half completed. And a plan has been worked out hy which Die various boards will co-operale. Making the personnel permanent will do much to standardize the work. Aerial Surveying. Revisions are to he made as fast as changes due to development occur. There Is to he a central information office. not simply for Die benefit of the bureaus concerned, but for the general public as well. The general scale reeommeiided is 1:02 5is>; where larger or stnal'er scales are desirable a special corps will he appointed. Aerial surveying Is to play an Important part. Graphic scales in English and metric units will he printed on all maps prepared for general use, as well as a diagram of the control on which Die map Is based, together with date of survey and location of all |>eniiatient murks. That each map will explain Die symbol* used hardly needs to he pointed out. In modern warfare the map Is more powerful than the sword. Germany knew this. Prisoners captured from the Germans could locate any object, from a single maehine-gun nest to n full battery of artillery; they had been taught to read their maps. The men of our own divisions, from ranking ollicers to scout privates, became skilled at It—in time; but It was difficult work at first. We were not a mnp-reading people. Men In Die service who two years ago would scarcely have attempted to find their way from point to point within a single county would at present know precisely how to orient themselves anywhere In France If supplied with France’s excellent cartes topographlques. The same cun be done In this country once the necessary maps are available. It Is merely a question of utilizing the arts of war In times of peace. It Is an Important enterprise now happily under way. If the government completes It the public’s Interest will he equaled only by its gratitude.

WORK OUT ELABORATE CODE

Man Who Directed Work of Enemy's Agents Planned to Disguise Telephone Conversation so as to Mislead Anyone Listening In as to Places of Meetings—Calls Easily Can De Traced. It would he Interesting to know Just how much of a part the telephone played lu upsetting plans of German J agents during the war. So nearly universal Is the use of Die telephone In these modern times that to listen In on a man’s telephone calls is to penetrate well Into a knowledge of tils dally activities, writes Fred 0. Kelly lu the New York Tribune. The German agents recognized this , fact and were careful to becloud their conversations as much as possible. | For example, Paul Koenig of tin* i Hamhurg-Americni! line, who directed many German ugents in this country up to the time of his Internment, had worked out an elaborate code by which meeting places of the agents In New York could he disguised when mentioned In conversation over the phone. Here Is a page from his little black secret memorandum hook: The Code. "Operatives of the S. S. division • when receiving Instructions from me lor through the medium of my secrej fury as to designating meeting places | will understand that such Instructions ! must he translated as follows: "A street number In Manhattan named over the teleiplinne means that the meeting will take place five blocks further uptown than the street men- | tinned. "Pennsylvania railroad station means Grand t’entral depot. "Kalserhof means general post office. In front of P. O. box 840. “Hotel Ansonlu means cafe in Hotel Manhattan (haseuient.) "Hotel Belmont means at the bar In Pahst’s, Columbus circle. “Brooklyn bridge means bar In Unter den Linden.” Likewise, the Imperial German emJ hnssy was always referred to ns 5,000; von Papen, 7,000; Boy-Kd, 8.00(1, and Dr. Heinrich Albert, the commercial attache of the embassy, 9,000. Calls Can Be Traced. Nevertheless, regardless of the rare one may take to cover up the real nature of a telephone conversation, the ! telephone Is one of Die greatest single sources of information about what J another man Is doing, provided one may have access to the records. Most hotels and apartment houses preserve the records of the outgoing telephone calls from each room or apartment and the time of day or night that such rails were nuido When there is a criminal Investiga Don a hotel will usually penult oecess to such records, on the theory that the hotel’s responsibility to society, in the interest of good govern- | ment. Is paramount to the tvurlesy it owes a guest. Any telefilmne user may call Central and ascertain the i name of the subscriber having any j listed number. But even without the names, with nothing hut a list of numbers that j I somebody has been calling from his 1 hotel during a period of soverul days, it Is surprising how many facts are i instantly available. To anybody fa- ! miliar with the city the name of the | j telephone exchange gidlcates the lo- i cation. I Clews Easily Followed. In New York the Broad and Rector i numbers are down In the financial sec- ' tlon, and the Riverside or Mnrnlngslde , numbers are up In the residence districts. So that If s man comes to New York for a week or two and makes frequent calls of numbers prefixed hy Broad or Rector there Is n fair chance that he may be Identified with some kind of financial operations. On Die other hand. If he calls nothing but residence numbers, such ns Riverside or Schuyler, and rails them In. say, the afternoon hours, perhaps there are women in the case, for men are not usually at home during the afternoon. Making a "Oat#." Not long ago there was a seml-crim-Inal Investigation In which It was learned that a society suspect four or five times a week called a certain number at about fi:30 p. m M and almost Invariably followed this hy Immediately calling a certain other number. What did that seem to Indicate? Simply that the man telephoning had a young woman friend whom he thought well enough of to take to dinner several times a week. He called her. and then when he knew that his dinner engagement with her was assured he calks] a restaurant to engage a table for two. This was only a rough guess, hut further Investigation revealed that the guess was exactly right. Gueatea Sonnetime* Fall. It would not do, however, to rely on a hasty conclusion. I know of s case In which a man called a restaurant every night at 7:30 or a little later. Two Investigators w’ere working on the case. One guessed that the

My Idea Is that he a bit sweet on the cashier and (-nils her at 7:30, bemuse that Is shortly before she goes off duty and be desires to meet her afterward.” The Important PoinL This conjecture proved to he substantially correct. The restaurant euabler was not only the man's sweetheart but his accomplice in a number of Illegal transactions. In endeavoring to get a line on a man's clumicfer through his telephone ealls it Is Indeed about as hnportunt to know with whom he has been talk ing ns to know wh%t he said. For he might talk so guardedly as completely to obscure the real object of a convei sation; hut there still remains Hie question of why he ever bad the conversation. Finding a Guert. When the pro-German plotters were at the height of their activities suspicion was directed by a to’, clew against a mysterious stranger who was known to have occupied sent No. 17 in a certain Pullman chair car Department of justice Investigators learned at the ticket office that tin sent had been reserved through tho head porter of a big New York hotel. This hotel porter might ordinarily not have known who got such a reservation. but In this Instance (he traiismDon had been particularly impressed upon the porter’s mind by difficulties encountered. A hotel guest hail tried to reserve u seat on a certain train after all seats had been sold. He asked the porter to keep on trying to get one up to the last minute, and If successful to call him at room 717. The porter remembered the coincidence cf the seat number being 17 and the man’s room number 717. All that re mnined. then, was simply to find the name of the guest who had occupied room 717 on the date in question.
