DUAL MONARCHY ARMIES
STRUCK BY EMIGRATION
Tide to United States and Can
ada Alarms Austria
and Hungary.
VIENNA. Aug,

VIENNA, August 20, 1913.
So many of the young men of Austria
and Hungary have emigrated to Ameri-
ca that the armies of the dual monarchy
lack from eighty to one hundred thou
sand soldiers this year to bear arms.
These men which should be in the ranks
are earning their livelihood in the Unit
ed States and Canada. The difficulty in
getting recruits is increasing instead of
diminishing. and the military authorities
Of both Austria and Hungary are begin
ming to show their CONSERVATION and
even their wrath at this very serious
state of affairs.
The emigration from Austria and Hun
gary for the first half of 1913 to the
United States and Canada has been un-
precedented. The situation is such that
the ministers of war OF the two states
are today jealousy supervising the in
PRODUCTION of new emigration laws in
the parliaments of Vienna and Budapest
When the Austrian council of ministers
recently presented the draft of a new
bill to the minister of war this official
expressed himself as greatly displeased
at the mildness Of the restriction devised
for preventing Austrian youths from go
ing abroad

NURSE CHANGED BABIES
After Four Years C0nfeSSeS on
Death Bed and Mothers
Forgive Her.

BRIDGETON, n. J.. August 30.--After
mourning four years for her last born
baby. who she believed had been buried
in infancy, Mrs. Beatrice Gaddis. a young
widow of this city, has learned that the
child is living with a well-to-do Phila-
dephia family.
In 1909. when Mrs. Gaddis was living
in Mauch Chunk, Pa. her husband was
killed in coal mine explosion. Soon
after that she became a mother in
Mauch Chunk hospital. There was an
other mother in the hospital. and this
woman's child died. The nurse in charge
of the two cases realized that Mrs. Cad
dis was a poor widow with four other
children, whereas the other woman was
of a family that had much money. The
nurse exchanged the babies, giving Mrs.
Gaddis the other mothers dead child,
and giving Mrs. Gaddis' living baby to
her ward companion.
A few days ago Mrs. Gaddis received
word from the nurse, still in Maunch
Chunk, to come there instantly. She
went and found the nurse upon her
deathbed. There was also the other
woman. The nurse told the story and
for the first time the two mothers knew
the truth. The nurse begged forgive
ness before she died. and this was grant
ed by the women.
Then the woman who had possession
of the Gaddis child appealed to Mrs.
Gadds for the custody of the little girl
who had been brought up as her own.
She pointed out that Mrs. Gaddis never
had known her daughter and had four
other children. whereas the little one
was the only child the Philadelphia home
ever had known.
Mrs. Gaddis yielded to the entreaues
and has taken legal, steps to permit her
child to be adopted into the home which
she supposes is hers by birthright.

GIVES LIFE FOR OTHERS
New Jersey Man Stoves Chill
dren Back From Deadly
Electric Wire.

NEW YORK, August 30.-A blockful
or families seated on their stoops in
Parker street, Passaic. N. j., last night
watched a heavy wire. strung from
pole to pole. swaying in the breeze
and cracking out blue flashes when
it struck tree limbs.
Among the watchers were Frederick
Hafner and his wife of No. 12l Their
children, with scores Of others. were
playing in the street. Hafner, after
looking at the electrical display for a
half hour. invited his wife to walk
around the block to a drug store and
get soda water.
Just as they got a few feet away
from their stoop a heavier puff OF
wind caught the wire and broke it
from one of Its fastenings. 1t fell
over the limb of a tree, and the free
end swung dangerously near a crowd
Of children.
Hafner jumped toward the young
sters and thrust them back from the
danger they did not realize. One of
those he saved was his own little son,
Stephen, six years old. The boy and
some companions were just about to
grasp the loose end of the wire.
After shooting all the little boys and
girls back to the arms of their
parents. Hafner told his wife that he
would fix the swaying wire so that
it would not trouble any one else. In
trying TODD that he touched the wire.
He was hurled twenty feet away, the
heavy copper strand following him
like writhing snake.
The doctor said Hafner had been
killed instantly by the electric cur
rent. Mrs. Hafner tainted when told
her husband was dead. She is left
with three young children.
