Its agtion in notifying Germany thrat it will seize German ships equal in tonnage to Spanish vessels sunk by German torpedoes will in all prob- ability be regarded by the HUNS as a casus belli, for Germany holds it her ‘right to sink neutral ships at will.

VAMPIRE — WAR BRIDE diers to Obtain Pay Allot- ments Prosecuted i Washington, D. C.—The government has begun a_ nation-wide crusade against the “vampire war pride.” Scores of these unscrupulous wom- en already have been arrested and will be'intetned or sent to federal prisons. These war brides in, numerous’ in- stances marry more than one soldier, receiving from each~$15 of the sol- dier’s monthly pay and a like amount from the government. One is charged with having married twelve men, col- lecting $360 a’ month, while her hus- bands were in training camps and in trenches “over there.” Each of her husbands carries her photographs nearest his heart, longing for the day when he will come back to her. Naturally these vampire war brides are not anxious for the day when “Johnny comes marching home again.” L. Merriwether Smith, associate counsel of the War Risk’ bureau, has been put in charge of the vampire Hunt. He has prepared cases against more than 100 bigamous brides of American soldiers. He hopes to send them all to. prison, annul the mar- riages and ‘see that the soldiers re- }cetve their peal per hereafter. Boys’ Fall Smith’s in estigations’ show that most of these husbands are country lads, attracted by the “camp widows” who hover as near the training camps as they may. The woman insists it is: “love -at: first sight,”~and the inex- perienced boy thinks she is really in love ‘with: him. She suggests a hur- ried wédding, before he can be sent across to fight the Hun. The mar- riage follows, and the: husband-soldier signs away half his pay to the vam- pire. ‘When the-soldier departs for France his bride,’ while continuing to collect the $30 monthly from the government, hides _her_wedding ring ‘and hunts for Meuarecnaneaneaain TUT Address Address Dated the Pacific Smith said.
