place, and It would have done as the other
did.
Progress moves forward and forward.
Science has evolved the best from other
forms Of life, wedding out the unfit. Now,
finally, science has reached the most i'm
portant form Of life, spreading consterna-
ton.
DR.. H. J. Haiselden. chief Of staff Of the
German-American hospital, passed death
sentence on the Bollinger baby at birth.
But first he consulted with the father.
Allen Bollinger, and the mother, Mrs. Anna
Bollinger He told them the story of their
SON.
He is paralyzed on the left side from
head to foot. On that side there is no ear;
on the right the ear is formed but lacks
the drum, so he will be deaf. He has no
neck; the skin on his cheek grows to the
shoulder blade There is curvature Of the
spine and hemorIhage Of the spine which
will eventually cause complete paralysis.
His brain is only slightly subnormal, but
the cranial nerves are undeveloped If he
grows up he will be hopeless cripple,
epileptic and suffering constantly from
pain. He may be an idiot or criminally
defective.
There is an enclosure Of the intestinal
tract which, unless operated upon, win
bring about death within few days-be-
fore he becomes fully conscious. Is he to
live or die now?"
Torn nv that love which bfnda fba boor -
of nature to souls of mothers, the Bollinger
baby's mother transcribed nature.
TT is better for him that he should die"
she decided. And the father agreeing said,
1T is better for him that he should die"
So DR., Haiselden went back to the writh-
ing, moaning little bundle which nurses
watched but would not touch. to wait Tor
death. His was the only hand to pet the
infant; bis The only voice 70 soothA

took a chance at either the relief or tenn
porary Inconsistencies by administering
another half grain, or death-and death
won. But the physician did not purposely
cause death; he could not tell what the
drug would do.
Il would not be human not to feel the
terrible criticism Of me in this case. But
from its very bitterness I can see that most
of my critics are sentimentally wrought
up. They have not stopped to consider the
hideous wrong it would have been to let
this misshapen bit Of flesh live; what 1t
would have meant to the other three
babies In the Bollinger home to be associ-
ated always with this last child. Would
1t be right to children that perhaps will
bless that home that the mother should be
compelled to bear them with this child
before her? Ask real mothers that ques-
ton and the answer can be guessed"
DR.. HaIselden, who is a bachelor and
who has adopted two children, then an
nounced his intention Of adopting others.
Through criticism and question. the
mother remained steadfast in her belief
that death was best for her baby Her
three children are healthy. The plight Of
the dead baby was due. she believed, to
typhoid fever which she suffered recently.
Il loved the little deformed one as I
love my other children" she said. But

GERMANS MASSED IN WEST
Drive Against Main British Army
in France, is Report.

London, April 23.-German first line
troops are again being massed along
the northern front from Scissors to
the sea. Advices received from Dutch
sources indicate that the Kaiser's gen.
eral staff is preparing to launch a
drive against the main new British
army. Sir John French's troops, ac-
cording to the statement made by
Lloyd-George in Parliament Wednes-
day, number in excess of 100000.
The majority of them are in the line
between the French-Belgian frontier
and the sea. 1t is against them that
the Kaiser is expected to make his
most serious effort.
1t is reported here that included in
the equipment that has passed south
into Belgium, according to the report
via Dutch sources, are many heavy
Austrian gums mounted on automobile
trucks of the sort which proved so eff
fective in the first German advance
last August.
That Germany still hopes to be the
force is believed at military
headquarters where it is said that if
she is, she will lose even more heavily
than in any of the battles to date.

The Thrall oil field, near Taylor,
Texas, tanks containing 10000 bar

Minneapolis, April 24.-Although
five private detectives testified before
the Hennepin county grand jury all
afternoon, submitted written report
of more than 200 pages on the investi-
cation they had made on fourteen al
legged resorts and gambling houses,
and described vice conditions in Min
neapolis as appalling, they failed to
give any testimony of police graft or
of corruption in the city administra-
tion and the grand jurors adjourned
for the night without forming their
official report. Instead, they agreed
to meet again, dispose of the few Jail
cases before them and then to adjourn
until next week
