MANY MARRIAGES IN
SHANGHAI,
BRITISH SERVICE MEN HARDER TO CATCH.
SHANGHAI, March 15th. Dozens of romances originating in dimly lighted cabarets of Shang hai, are blossoming into marriages between Russian dancing girls and American service men, writes Mr. H. Mills of the United Press,
Almost every day at the Ameri- can Consulate one or more Ameri can service men lead more-or-less blushing young Russian bride-to-be in for the purpose of obtaining a marriage licence. Men of the American navy are far and away| ahead of the American marines in this Cupid business. The marines,. apparently are playing a love-'em- and-leave-jem gume and not one of matrimony.
Strangely enough, the majority of these romances begit in a certain vabaret, which caters to service men exclusively from 7 pat, till 11 p.m. Those wishing to have tiffins pro- Alter that hour the tables blossom vided for them on either day must forth with tablecloths, napkins ap- inform the Hon.

It must be borne in mind that the majority of these service men in Shanghai are young, strong and healthy, and according to the girls, good lovers. Some of them are fine-looking young men and are quile attractive to the dancing girls.
