London, April 8-The Athens correspondent of the "Daily Ex- press" states that 600 young American bachelors of Greek parentage have landed at Piraeus. They have come to soek Greek wives, thus making a sentimental Journey of colossal proportions. The bachelors say they could not get on with American girls, whom they found too exacting and frivolous, They want to take back to America wives who are sensible and modest in dress, do not use Hpaticks, and have long hair.
