"Gobs" Merely Waiting to Be Mustered Out. . Tired of Being Single and Now War/., 4a Marrv and Settle Down. Quantico, Va.-'-Amerlcan maidens who have been worrying whether your marines would pop the question when hey ecme home, stand "at ease." A canvass of marine barracks here it Quantico, where 10,000 men have >een waiting their chance at the Hun, no/io hv n rpnnrf-ftr for Leatherneck, *he camp paper, shows that 90 per cent of the single men intend marrying when they are discharged. How's that for good news? "We're tired of being single. We want to marry and settle down," is the consensus of the replies. These marines, many of whom will be discharged when the president dedares the national emergency no longer exists, are fitting themselves for good jobs that will permit them to wed. Evening business classes are behAiri e?* fho v m n A., and ex* UtlU UV r perts are explaining everything from bookkeeping and shorthand to soil cultivation and dairying. The training the men have under ?one admirably fits them for marriage. * There isn't a marine in the service who doesn't claim to be able wash his rlothes whiter than any woman can ever get them. Every mao can mend and press his own clothes. And as far as being "handy about the house," why, most of them can open a can of tomatoes with a toothpick and drive a nail with a feather duster.

It is contended by the society that American depositors have a right to be notified in advance or any intention on the part of the banks to lend their money to build up German countries, and it holds itself ready to inform the depositors if their money is so used without their consent. "The principle involved is quite clear," said Richard M. Hurd, chairman of the national boycott committee. "It is analogous to the bill just introduced by Senator Lodge, provid ing that the public should be informed of all stores dealing in German goods by having a conspicuous sign placed over their-doors, 'Dealer in German Goods.' ' ! "Americans have not forgotten the intamous atrocities 01 me uermans and, what is mare, their entirely un- ( moral and ruthless aim for world do- 3 minion, which Germany's enforced surrender has in nowise altered. . Every aid given by the allied countries toward building up Germany ' brings nearer the (lay of Germany's 1 next war upon the world." 1 - / WELL-KNOWN BUFFET CLOSES ! f Famous Place in Boston Frequented by Men of1 Affairs to Go Out . 1 of Existence. ? . ] Boston.?"Fennel's Place," Boston's 1 famous buffet bar, where men of affairs long have met to have a friendly j "nip," will pass into history- in May, ] because of wartime prohibition. s Tucked away in a quiet spot close to busy Devonshire street, "Fennel's" has stood for 40 years, presided over by John Fennel.
