There are great many dreadful
things about war" said Mr.. Wilson, "as
nobody needs TO be told in this day of
distress and terror. But there is one
thing about war which has very
splendid side, and that is the conscious
ness that whole nation gets that they
must all act as a unit for the nation:

THE SLINGSBY HEIR AND HIS
FATHER.
An English court has decided that this
American born boy is the legitimate
heir TO a baronial estate.

London, Feb. 3.-The Probate Court
decided to-day that the son Of Charles
r. Slingsby is the legitimate heir to the
So 1000 baronial property OF the Sings
BIZ family in Yorkshire. The case has
been before the courts nearly two
years.
Charles r. Slingsby, formerly lieu
tenant in the British navy and after
ward resident of San Francisco, Is IN
possession of the property, which was
devised 10 his offspring. When he
asked the court TO confirm the success
sion a Younger brother protested on
the ground that the child was not a
legitimate son, but an infant substi-
tuted by the lieutenant's wife when her
own child died. Evidence has been
taken in California and records pro-
duced there to prove the child the legit-
innate son and heir Of the Slingsbys.
The judge said that after an eXhaus-
tive review Of the evidence he had come
to the conclusion that Mrs. Slingsby
had given birth to this child on Sep
TENDER /. 1910, in McAllister St, San
Francisco, and that the statement that
she had put forward another child was
untrue and invented for the purposes
Of the case.
The courtroom was filled with rela-
tives and friends Of the Slingsbys. 1t
was cold. ard the judge wrapped a rug
carefully around his knees as he began
his long pronOuncement
The Judge censured the manner IN
which the inquiry was handled and de
positions taken in San Francisco, and
laid emphasis on his impression OF the
utter unIeliability of the witnesses op-
posing the claims of the infant Sings
By.
"There is another matter in this case
which is conclusive" said the judge.
81 have watched the little boy in court,
and | have been much impressed with
the extraordinary likeness of the boy
TO Mrs. Slingsby. Moreover. it is diff
ficult to speak Of Mr.. Slingsby in his
presence. but he has a full, round face
and a peculiarly shaped jaw, and the
boy is a counterpart Of his father in
these respects. ! felt so strongly on
these matters that ! called in per
sonal friend, a well known artist, Sir
George Frampton. ] did not tell him
my view; ! merely asked him to come
into court and watch. Sir George i'm
medately noted the extraordinary re-
semblance of the boy to his father.
"The mother was not present that
day. Sir George said ne would like 70
see her, as he had noticed an odd shape
Of the boys left ear, which did not re-
semble that of his father. Accordingly
Mrs. Slingsby was brought to my room
and introduced to the artist. who i'm
mediately observed the extraordinary
similarity between the left ear of the
mother and the left ear or tho son

GUILD SEES WAR
IN SHIP MEASURE
Ex-AmbaSSador Would lmpeach
President, if Necessary, to
Prevent Conflict.

Boston. Feb. 3.-Curtis Guild, exam
basgador TO Russia and Ex-Governor OF
Massachusetts,, declares that the ma
ton must not hesitate even at i'm
parchment if necessary 10 prevent
President Wilson from plunglng the
nation into a great war.
THE situation Is more serious than
at any time since 1861" said Mr.. Guild
IN opposing the ship purchase bill.
"Tbe situation in 1898 was no more
serious. as far as war itself was con
cerncd. The purchase Of the merchant

Rotterdam, Feb. 3.-The Germans, to

Regarding the San francisco deposit
tions. the judge said: 1T Is impossible
l. { to be struck with the fact that we
have very INSCRIPTIONS people to deal
w h in this case. ! do not wish to i'm
pute any blame, but one man was
promised $500 TO hunt up witnesses in

San Francisco, Feb. S.-Lieutenant
Charles Henry Keynard Slingsby, for
merry Of the British navy, married an
/ .erican girl, Dorothy Cutler Morgan.
The couple lived for some years on the
Pacific Coast, at times in Victoria,
Is c.. and at times ia San Francisco.
"Teddy" Slingsby, their son. to-das de-
clared heir to the Singsby fortune, was
boru here in the fall of 1910.
Three years later it became known
that the birth certificate filed with the
State Board Of Health at Sacramento
had been altered at the direction OF
the board TO read: Paul Colvln
father; Lillian Anderson, mother Al
the same time there came into evidence
an advertisement Inserted in San
Francisco morning newspaper within q
few days of the time of the birth, and
purporting to be in the handwriting OF
Mrs. Slingsby, calling for a newborn
male infant.
These disclosures led to the trial o.
DR.. W. w. Frazer, of Weaverville. Cal.
Mrs. Slingsby's physician, on the charge
of having falsifed a public record. Hi:
defence that birth certificate was MOI
a public document within the me.ninl
Of the Penal Code found favor, and h
was acquitted.
The case hesn shifted to the British
c, urts, though evidence continue e
be taken here before the British Vice
Consul, acting as commissioner o.

II Illegal for merchants in the United
States to form combinations for the
purpose of strengthening themselves
in taking advantage of the opportuni-
ties Of foreign competition. That is a
very serious matter for this reason:
There are some corporations and
some firms, for all know, whose bust
ness is great enough and whose re-
sources are abundant enough to enable
them to establish selling agencies in
foreign countries, TO enable them 10
extend the long credits which in some
cases are necessary in order 10 keep
the trade they desire; which enables
them, in other words, 10 organize their
business IN foreign territory in a way
which the smaller man cannot afford
TO do. His business has not grown big
enough 10 permit him TO establish sell
ing agencies. The export commission
merchant, perhaps, taxes him a little
bit too high to make that an available
competitive means OF conducting and
extending his business.
