MARRY IRISH GIRLS.
! U nil I
Base American Flotilla in British
Waters, Jan. 20.—(Associated Press
Correspondence.)—Every part of the
United States has supplied a hero in
love romances that have culminated
in happy marriages between Ameri- j
can bluejackets and blue-eyed Irish
maidens since the arrival of the Amer
ican destroyer forces in the south of
Ireland. After the war, every part
of thd United States from Maine to
California and from the Great Lakes
to Florida will boast of an Irish bride
who was wooed and won in her native
land by an American sailor.
All of the brides are looking for
ward to that happy day when they
will see what their husbands so
proudly proclaim as “God’s country.”
Already the American sailor has sup
plied his Irish bride with all necessary
documents to establish her identity
as an American and some have even
had their property in the United
States transferred to their wives as
a precaution in case they lose their
lives for their country.
There is the marriage of a former
ranchman, Bert Adams, to Brigid
O’Rourke, whose family descends
from an Irish king of that name.
Adams, who is a boiler-maker on one
of the destroyers, hails from Hugo,
Colorado. He is now arranging to
have his ranch in Colorado, deeded to
his wife as a precaution in the event
of his being torpedoed. His wife’s
relatives live in Bruce County, Limer
ick, and there is plenty of anecdote
connected with the family’s relation
to the O’Rourke’s of kingly fame.
“I don’t know anything about ranch
ing,” Mrs. Adams told The Associated
Press correspondent, “But I am pre
paring myself for the fair land Bert
has told me so much about by study
ing a history of Colorado.”
Then there is the case of Mary
Ridge, head waitress at the leading
hotel here, who lost her heart to Har
land G. Ritchie, a machinist’s mate,
first class, of Allston, Mass. She was
one of the most popular girls in town.
The dining room over which she pre
sided is out of bounds to enlisted men
but Ritchie contrived to see her when
-she was off duty. They knew each
ether for four months before Mr.
Ritchie led her to the altar of the vil
lage church.
But the record for love at first

sight among the Americans belongs!
to a young seaman, Paul Valachovic
by name, who used to wprlyQ the ma
chine shop of the General Electric
Company at Schnectady, N. Y. He
fell in love the first day he stepped
ashore here, from his destroyer. Ada
Jones, a Cork girl, was the object of
Cupid’s dart. After the war Valacho
vic is going to take her back with
him to that thriving city in New York.
A few of the Americans first met
their wives on visits to Engalnd.
Charles Harmon Cobia of Charleston,
S. C., fell in love on the beautiful
Cornish riviera with Ada Gilbert, a
widow of 24, whose home was in Ply
mouth. Another English bride is
Nora Elizabeth Kitt, who_ married
Joseph W. Highfield of Des Moines,
Iowa.
But the majority of the Americans
married Irish girls who lived in the
vicinity of the American Naval base,
and whom they met at the dance hall
or roller skating rink. Thus Doris
Frances Phillips is now Mrs. Leo
Vincent Flavell of Hanover, Mass.,
and Mary Ellen Sullivan has become
the wife of Thomas A. Balschi of
Mount Carmel, Pa. After the war
Mary O’Keefe, who became the wife
of Edward C. Turner, expects to de
sert the trying of climate of southern
Ireland, for that of sunny San Jose,
Cal., which is her husband’s home.
William Spaulding of DeLand, Flori
da, has married Esther Allen, while
Oral E. Cox of lola Kansas,
hand of Phyllis Rose Rogers.
Among others of the American
sailors who have taken to themselves
a wife over here are Benjomin J.
Moore 'of Dallas, Texas; Elbert R.
Bickingham of Pensacola, Fla., Harry
E. Holder of Denver, Colorado and
Michael J. Della Roco of Schnectady,
N Y. And the list gives promise of
growing steadily. .
