CARRIED A WHITE BABY
IN 4 MARIETTA

Whose baby was it that Miss Lille
Willis, colored woman from Water
town, S. D., had with her when she ar
rived in the city Wednesday mornings
This is a question that is puzzling the
police, and, altho the woman insisted
that a white woman at .Watertown had
given her the child, paid her. expenses
to Minneapolis and told her to leave the
child here, they are inclined to think
that all may not be right. -. ,..=l.5s
The Willis woman was picked.np by
the police when she arrived in Mime
apolis. She carried a basket, and when
the officers opened, it they were aston
ished to find a small white baby. They
questioned the woman, who told the
above story without hesitation.
The woman was taken to the poor
department, and Superintendent W. p.
Barton issued transportation to send her
back to Watertown. She was put on
board of the evening train and sent
back to Dakota in care Of the train Off
Gals. g.. .
Since the woman left, the police have
been wondering if her story was really
true or if she had kidnapped the child,

RUSSIA'S SUCCESS SURE
This View Taken by the Greek Cath

Minneapolis Greek Catholics are
greatly interested in the Russian-Jap-

necessary to hold special services to
pray for the Russian success. Father
Popoff Of the Greek orthodox church
said this morning: 3.
We have implicit confidence in the
Russians. They will never be beaten
until they have killed all the Japs.
Every day our Moscow and st. Peters
burg papers send encoura ging reports.
When the war is over, we will have
special services, but they are not
needed now. The people here watch all
the news with great interest. Most Of
them come from Austria, and they pray
for the success Of the Russians =
