. • CARING FOR
WAR BRIDES
ONWAYHERE
ST. NAZAIRE, France, June 19
(Correspondence of Associated Press).
•—French brides of American soldiers
on their way from France to their new j
homes in America are entertained in
the Hostess House here until they and
their husbands are ready to go
on board a steamship. Thus far,
eighty-one of these newly-made Ameri
can wives have been taken care of in
this temporary home for brides.
The work of caring for them is con
ducted by the Young Women’s Chris
tian Association, with five workers
r under the charge of Miss Mary Fay.
The house was opened May 1, and is
located in a grove of trees outside the
limits of the men’s camp.
> The wives, many of whom have ,
never been more than twenty miles
from their homes before, are met at
the station with an automobile and
taken to the Hostess House, where
they are given a thorough physical in
spection, their teeth examined, and
any necessary work to be done on
them is here done. After this they
are given the opportunity to bathe,
change their clothing, and are as
signed a bed in one of the spick and
span dormitories. Their life from
then on until the time they board the
boat is chiefly occupied in learning the
English language, sewing and exer
cises and recreations of various kinds
in the mornings, and with their hus
bands in the afternoons.
Ten days is the average time each
girl spends in this camp. From it
she is taken directly to the boat, j
where she again meets her husband, j
he having been transferred from his
organization to a casual company, so
that they can take the same boat back.
. That the government is doing every
thing in its power to make their life
while still in the army a happy one is
very evident.
A month ago it was estimated that
accommodations for fifty-five would
be ample for this camp. Today there
are accommodations for 120 and more
barracks are being built. The Fif
teenth cavalry alone brought fifty-one
newly-married men and their wives. .
And now t*iat the service of supply
troops are going through here fast it
is suspected that the Hostess House
may be swamped, for these troops, un
like the combat troops, have been sta
tioned in one place most of their tin^e
nver here, and have had the opportu
nity to win and wed some dainty
French girl.
CAVALRY OFFICERS
OBJECT TO SALE OF
HORSES TO MEXICANS
EL PASO, Texas, July 25 (by As
sociated Press).—Cavalry officers at
Fort Bliss unofficially protested
against the selling of 400 cavalry
horses to the Mexican government for
mounting cavalry troops in pursuit of
Villa rebel bands. Officers who have
been in Mexico with various expedi
tions assert that the Mexican federal
or rebel soldier has little or no regard
for his mount, rides it hard, takes no
care of the animal, and permits it to
become saddle-sore, acquire hoof rot
and’other equine diseases.
