WOULD RESTRICT WAR
MARRIAGES IN GERMANY
NEW YORK, Oct. 17. Restriction
of war marriages in Germany is de
manded by the New Saxon Church
Paper. The material advantages that
a young woman obtains by the war
marriage are so alluring that only a
few resist the lure, says the paper,
adding: "The war divorces throw a
bad light on the moral conditions in
our people. They have not been num
erous thus far but we fear that they
will increase after the war."
According to the Cologne Gazette
seven hundred actions for divorce
were started within a period of four
months before one court in Berlin.

CBOSSUNIT
HAVRE, Oct. 17. The headquarters
of the Friends, Ambulance unit, an
organization of 350 workers from all
sections of America sent to the west
ern front by the American Society of
Friends, has been almost completely

four injured. The others are safe.
The story of the disaster is told in
a report of Major John Van Schaick,
deputy commissioner in Belgium of
the American Red Cross, of which
the Friends' ambulance is a unit, who
says:
"A worker whom we had placed
with the unit was sleeping in the room
with one of those who was killed. He
was not injured. lie described his
experience as follows:
" 'I was awake when the bomb fell.
1 don't remember much noise, only
the motion. The whole room seemed
to lurch back toward where the bomb
fell, and then went down. We fell
fast and seemed to be? falling through
all eternity. My life was saved by
my bed shooting across the room. The
cupola of the adjoining building fell
where my bed stood.
" 'The adjutant of the unit was
buried under the debris for three
hours. A large oak chest held a beam
off his neck. They had to tunnel
through the debris to get him out. He
was conscious part of the time, and
directed the rescuers in their work.
He was bruised but not sernously
hurt.' "
