CIVILIANS RUSH
TO PROTECTION
OF U. SJROOPS
American Authorities in Ger
many Forced to Tighten
Permit Privileges; Few Al
lowed in Occupied Area.
Coblenz, March 7. (By Assoc
iated Tress.) The disturbances in
Berlin and other parts of unoccu
pied Germany have resulted in such
n increase in the number of civil
ians eager to reach the bridgehead
rea where conditions are more nor
mal that the American forces of oc
cupation have been compelled to
take steps to prevent Germans from
all parts of the country overrunning
the occupied one along the Rhine.
To prevent civilians coming in
merely to take advantage of the
food situation and to get away from
the renters of disturbance, the
American authorities have had to
tighten up permit privileges. Only
those desiring to travel on urgent
business or are returning to their
homes will he allowed to pass with
in the American occupied area.
Plan for Withdrawal.
The Germans within the occupied
rone arc already laying their plans
for the days after the Americans
have withdrawn. Applications were
made recently for the privilege of
holding public meetings to urge the
organization of volunteer forces to
take over affairs when the Ameri
cans left the district.
These applications, however, were
denied today by the Third army offi
cials on the ground that meetings of
this kind were prohibited by the
orders forbidding any organized
enemy forces within the bridgehead
limits.
All indebtedness contracted by
Americans within the .occupied ter
ritories of Germany will be paid im
mediately. Authorization to this ef
fect was obtained by the Third army
today and from this date on the
Americans will pay their way as
they go. The money to pay the back
bills or bills of the future will be
requisitioned from Berlin, the army
thus relieving the civilians of the oc
cupied territory from taking the
chances of collecting from the Ger
man government.
When the Americans eventually
tart homeward not one pfennig
will be owing to civilians who have
claims of any kind in connection
with the upkeep of the United
States troops, so far as the army
records are concerned.
Will Get Receipts.
Before the departure of the forces
the commanders of the various units
will confer with the burgomasters
of the respective villages and cities
in the district and as a final formal
ity will receive from the burgo
masters receipts in full, showing all
debts cleared up under this plan.
Since the Americans came the
burgomasters have been paying
the civilians their bills, but recently
the Germans reported that their
funds were exhausted and that they
were unable to obtain more money
from Berlin. The Coblenz burgo
master's office thus owes more than
500,000 marks for bills contracted in
tonnection with the maintenance of
the Americans.
Increase in Postal
Revenue Indicates
Prosperity in Trade
Washington, March 7. Postmas
ter General Burleson today declared
that increasing postal revenues,
"one of the most accurate baromet
ers of present business conditions,"
forecast a period of pronounced in
dustrial prosperity.
"I concur in the opinion of the
executivs head of one of the great
est corporations of the world who
prophesies 'large business prosper
ity ahead,'" Mr, Burleson said. "Ad
mittedly, the revenue of the postal
service is one of the most accurate
barometers of present business con
ditions, because the postal revenue
comes from every community in the
United States.
"During November there was a
pronounced decline in postal rev
enues due to the nation-wide prev
alene of influenza and the , sign
ing of the armistice. Revenues in
Denver showed a returning move
ment toward normal conditions,
while during January and February
the revenues greatly exceeded for
those months the average annual
Increase during the last 30 years.
"Judged, therefore, by the relia
ble business barometer of the postal
service, ft is obvious that, notwith
itanding the fear of business de
pression expressed in some quar
ters, this country is on the thresh
hold of a period of pronounced in
dustrial prosperity."
German Owned Ships
Held Finance Strike;
to Frame New Demands
Buenos Aires, March 7. The
itrike of port workers, which has
caused a serious tie-up to shipping
business here, took another turn to
night, when representatives of the
port workers approved the action of
the maritime federation in deciding
no longer to adopt a conciliatory
attitude toward the shipowners.
The strikers also decided to frame
Dew demands.
German-owned vessels in Argen
tine harbors have not been affected
by the strike. The ship owners
claim that half of the money
earned by these vessels goes to the
support of the strikers.
Railroad Traffic in Cuba
Held Up by General Strike
. Washington, March 7. The gen
eral strike in Cuba has spread, ac
cording to advices to the State de
partment today, until transportation
in fully half of the country is tied
up. Practically all industries are at
a standstill.
The latest demands of the unions,
the advices said, are that all non
union railroad employes be dis
charged. In the Havana docks 500
convicts are now employed as steve

Hindu Philosopher to Take Omaha Girl As
His Bride to Home in Holy City of India
Romance Which Started
Here Two Years Ago
Shatters Kipling's
"East Is East, Etc."
Theory.
A wedding trip around the world
before they settle down in their
magnificent home "in Benares, holy
city of India this is what Dr. Kes
hava Deva Shastri, Hindu philoso
pher, has planned for himself and
Miss Minnie Jensen, Omaha girl,
who will become his bride in the
near future. The marriage license
was issued in Omaha.
The story of the American-Hindu
romance reads like a page from
Kipling.
But it shatters Kipling's conten
tion that "East is East, and West
is West and never the twain shall
meet."
Is an Adopted Daughter.
Miss Jensen is an adopted daugh
ter of Isaac Kahn, president of the
Megeath Stationary company, and
has been a member of the family
15 years. The home is at 2015 Sher
man avenue.
About two years ago- the Hindu
philosopher came to Omaha and
gave a scries of lpctures under the
auspices of the Thcosophical so
ciety. It vas here that the romance
started. Dr. Shastri, native of In
dia, graduate of three universities,
profound thinker, international -lecturer,
found his mate in the little
Omaha girl.
Love at First Sight.
It may have been what we call
"love at first sight" or it may have
been that mysterious mating of
souls. At anyrate. Miss Jensen
wears a beautiful platinum ring pre
sented to her by Dr. Shastri.
It is elaborately engraved and in
scribed with both English and Hin
du characters and the workmanship
is that of a master craftsman.
The date of the wedding has not
been definitely set, depending upon
Dr. Shastri's busy lecturing career.
But the license is issued and all that
remains is the ceremony.
"They are going on a wedding
trip that any girl would love to
take," said Miss Mabel Kahn, Miss
Jensen's sister. "After the wedding
in Omaha they will travel south and
then to California. There they willO
take a ship for the Hawaiian is
lands; then on to the Philippine is
lands. Next they will visit Japan
and then China.
"Then they are going to Persia
and to Egypt. They do not in
tend to go on to Europe on that
trip but will come back from Egypt
to India where they will make their
permanent home.
Such Romantic Names.
"Dr. Shastri has his principal res
idence in Ben.Tes. He also has a
summer home in the vale of Kash
mere. "Oh, it's just like out of a story
book. And Dr. Shastri is such a
splendid man. The Hindus are of
the white race and he is a man of
the highest education. He has de
grees from three universities and he
presided over the great intemation-

One Minute
Store Talk
"There's sound, sincere
service here that appeals
to a man. There's a vast
difference between the
willingness to serve that
shines from your sales
men's eyes and the smirk
of put-on pleasantness
that is so commonly met
with," said a customer.
Sound, sincere service is
our constant aim and men
trained to give it are here
to see that you get it.

al congress of religious philosophies
at the ranama-Pacitic exposition
in San Francisco."
Benares, where the home of this
Omaha girl will be, is the holy
city'of the Hindus, situated on the
Ganges river. As the center cf
Hinduism it attracts immense
crowds of pilgrims on festival oc
casions. They come from all over
India to the number of 100,00 fre
quently. Typical Indian City.
There is a great Sanscrit college
in Benares. It is not only a holy
ci'y but an industrial center and the
seat of great welath. Silk, wool
cotton, kashmere shawls, diamonds
and muslins are the principal ar
ticles of industry.
The religious rites performed
there on the banks of the holy
river Ganges have been famous
from time immemorial. Benares is
now a city of 250,000 people and
has its modern as well as its an
cient section.
It will be a big change from
Omaha, U. S. A., to Benares, in
dia, but Miss Jensen says she knows
she is going to love it and, oertaii-
ly. there are thousands of girls wno
will envy her the prospect.
Speaks Perfect English.
Dr. Shastri's lectures have taker.
him all over the civilized world
He speaks perfect English, as vvell
as several other languages.
The titles of the lectures which
he delivered in Omaha two years
ago were "The World's Great
Religions," "Picturesque India,"
"Landmarks of Hindu Culture" and
"Philosophy of Life."
Won't You Have Pity on Two
"Good" Homeless Bachelors
They Want a Room, in Fact Two Rooms, Sans Jazz,
Sans Poker Chips and With a Lot of Quietness
And Reporter Wants Part of a Steak Dinner.
If you have "two well-furnished
rooms within five blocks of Farnam
between Twenty-fourth and Fortieth
streets," will you take pity on two
homeless and roomless bachelors in
search of a place to sleep?
One is Charles E. Foster, one of
the Omaha police judges, and the
other is Frank C. Builta, ex-newspaper
man now with the Nebraska
Telephone company.
The lone bachelors have trod
many a weary step in search of
pleasant, home-like .surroundings,
where it is quiet enough so they can
read their newspaper evenings with
out the sound of tin-panning piano,
jazz music or the rattle of chips on
bare tables to disturb them.
But they have searched in vain.
Advertise in The Bee.
Now they are going to let a little
Bee want ad do the work of locating
eligible quarters. Then they are go
ing to jump into a taxi Sunday and
make the rounds.
"'What qualifications can we offer
as good roomers?' "
"Well, we have, always kept out of
jail and we don't stay out nights
and we don't smoke, chew or swear
much and we can't get anything
to drink and so "
They think they will make good
roomers.
One of the requirements men
tioned by Builta was "pleasant sur
roundings." "What do you consider pleasant
surroundings? Pretty girls?" Builta
was asked. x
"No, we're too old and gray for"
that," he reolied.
But Not "Too Gray."
But he does admit if he gets good
returns on the ad he placed, he will
follow it up with another advertising
for "the girl." y
"I'm sure we'd get enough pro
posals if we advertised in The Bee,
but you'd have to help us sort them
out!"
Before the war a party of bache
lors, including these two, Yale Hol
land, Al Munger, Ray Horning, John
Gleason, Charles McLaughlin and a
few more had quarters in a large
house at 424 Park avenue. All but
one or two went to war, so the club
disbanded. On his return from the
army, Builta went to live at the
Conant, while Foster has been living
at the Winona.
But the bachelors are not built for
speed and noise, but for comfort
and quiet, so they want some kindly
disposed fon to take them into
their hoc.
If tht l rooms by Sunday Fos
ter buys Builta a steak dinner, A
certain newspaper person has a lien
or attachment or some legal
"whatchmaycallit" on one portion of
the steak.
