  We show the existence of solitonic solutions of five-dimensional
supergravity, which can be interpreted as global cosmic strings in our
universe. They possess the same mathematical structure as the stringy cosmic
strings studied by Greene, Shapere, Vafa and Yau, while the size of the extra
space and the value of the extra-space component of the gauge field vary from
place to place around the string in our model. We also show that supersymmetry
is partially broken in the presence of the global strings.
