Portuguese Soldiers
Wed 687 French Girls j
I.Khun. April 11.—The Poruguesc |
have not failed to live up to their
reputation for gallantry during their
three years sojouin in France. The
authorities have received notice of
lis7 marriages of French girls to
Portuguese officers and soldiers, and
many hundreds mere i-ro expected
to follow.
The. young Portuguese warriors, 't
would seem, exercised an irresistible
fascination upon the French maidens
by reason of the romantic melan
choly songs of Portugal called
"rades," with which they serenaded
their sweethearts to the accompani
ment of guitars. These airs, it is
said, gained wide popularity In the
Amientleres sector, where the Por
tuguese expeditionary forces were
located. *
Building Operations in
London at Low Ebb
London, April 11.—With the sign
ing of the armistice it was expected
that building operations in London,
suspended by the war, would be
quickly resumed. But so far there
are no signs of a renewal of work <>n
a dozen or more huge unfinished
structures in various parts of t lie
city.
Labor unrest is the cause assigned
by one big contractor for the state
of affairs. "If it were not for the
labor unrest," he said, "I believe we
should be so busy that we could
employ the services of every man
available. The unrest is not confined
to the building world. Manufacturers,
banks, insurance companies and other
large corporations which have been
thinking of rebuilding are for the
present holding their hands."
