GERMAN WIVES
BID FAREWELL
BRITISH HUSBAND
DISILLUSIONED AFTER LIVING IN
EASE IN GERMANY, WIVES
REFUSE GO ENGLAND
LONDON, Feb. 11. (^—Disillusion
ed after living happily and in luxury
during the occupation period, hun
dreds of German wives of British sol
diers in the army of occupation, are
bidding farewell to their husbands as
the British evacuation of the Cologne
zone proceeds.
More than 750 Tommies married
German women during the last few
years, about one in every ten. The
majority obtained permission of su
perior officers for the marriages and
provisions have been made for these
families as the troops move to Wies
baden or leave Germany. Those who
did not receive permission are in dif
ficulties.
Then too, the unhappy wives in
many cases refuse to leave home.
Married when the British private’s
pay meant real luxury in Germany,
they little dreamed that their hus
bands’ occupation might lead them to
England, India or Egypt. Housing
conditions in Wiesbaden are such that
few can accompany their husbands
for even that short distance.
The lot of many English women,
most of them widows, who came to
Cologne, and opened shops for the
soldiers, is little bciter. The British
Aid Association of Cologne is helping
500 English women and children who
are virtually destitute. This aid can
not continue long and the association
has appealed to the British govern
ment for a solution of the problem.
Count Otari, brother-in-law of the
Emperor of Japan, took part in the
recent dedication of a $250,000 Bud
dhist temple at Los Angeles. Such
an impressive edifice should be almost
sufficient to make the l^ligion of
Guatama fashionable on the west
coast.

Father A. J. Markham will be over
from Anchorage on tonigh/t’s train
and. will hold services .Sunday morn
ing at 9:30 in the Catholic Church.
I A. W. Trenholnv of St. Paul, vice
president of the Omaha railroad who
began as a water-boy on a section
gang at the age of 10, has just re
tired at the age of 67, hale and hearty.
His exceptional physical condition is
probably due to the fact that he nev
er wasted his energies in the strenu
ous grind of a vacation. He never had
one in his 57 years of service.
