GIVES CHILD AWAY
TO BATTLE FATHER

A baby given away to prevent it's
father securing the twelve months old
child, is the story told by Probation
Officer Joseph Schies of Randolph
county, who was in Richmond today
Schies secured the child from Levi
D. Snediker, South Seventh street,
whose wife took it from Mrs. Baker of
Winchester, while the latter was visit
ing her brother, Landy Norris, 80
South Seventh street in November
Mrs. Snediker was fascinated with
the baby and when Mrs. Baker said
she must part with it, it was taken
into the Snediker home. Mrs. Baker
did not even inquire as to the address
of the Sneakers. Mr. Baker was
granted divorce recently in Win

FRONT RANKS SAFE
SAY j, s, OFFICER

Contrary to public opinion, the
front rank or advance party of an
army going into action is the safest
place according to Corporal Abbott. 10.
cal recruiting officer for the United
States army.
"A scouting party that is sent out to
spy on the enemy is in no particular
danger" said the Corporal. If a large
body of men is following the scout.
the enemy will in most cases allow
the scouting party to pass through
their lines unmolested in order that
the troops following will not ba
alarmed and become aware of the
enemies immediate presence. In this
way large bodies of men are often
trapped after coming on their enemy
without warning"
This strategy is often resorted to
in drill manouvers and in practice the
men are warned to allow scouting
parties to pass through the lines.

An old brass bell, corroded with
mold and rust, its tone deadened by
years of silence, but suggestive of
events which happened in Richmond
more than fifty years ago, was dis
covered by workmen engaged in razing
the old fremont building yesterday.
For more than forty years after its
erection by Charles Starr in 1888, this
building was used as a hotel. Being
centrally located in the city, this
hostelry was very popular, and older
citizens often speak with pride Of the
banQuets and social events held in the
old Starr House as it was first called,
and later on better known as the Ire
mont House. 3d. s.
From the time the hotel was started
1t was customary for the proprietor to

Preliminary Replies Report
ed Sent to Three Protest
ing Neutral Nations by
Berlin Foreign Office.
EXPLAINS ATTITUDE
Admiralty Hopes to Spare
Neutral Shipping But In
sists on Checking Eng
lands Starvation Policy.
By FREDERICK WERNER.

BERLIN, Via Amsterdam, Feb. To-
Germany's expectation that neutral
countries would protest against the
proclamation of war zone around
the British Isles and along the French
coast has been amply fulfilled. Thus
far six countries. the United States
Holland. Italy, Greece. Norway and
Denmark have made representations
through their ENJOYS here to the for
eign office.
While these representations are in
effect protests, they are couched In
friendly terms and are to be answered
in the same manner. A preliminary
reply has already been sent to the
United States, Italy and Holland, the
International News Service was in,
formed at the foreign office today, and
Denmark, Greece and Norway will be
answered Immediately. Sweden has
thus far taken no action, but is eX
pected to do so.
England Blamed.
The replies made by the German
government place full responsibility
for the situation upon England, point
ing out that the action of that country
in cutting off the food supplies of Ger
man civilians has forced Germany to
adopt retaliatory measures.
Assurances are given that Ger
many's naval forces will do everything
in their power to avoid injuring neu,
trail shipping, but it is asserted that
England's policy of having its vessels
fly the flags of neutral countries en-
dangers the ships of those nations.
The German statement is full ex-
position Of the admiralty's attitude,
and it's desire to maintain the friendly
international relations now existing
between the empire and the neutral
countries. but it is also firm avowal
that this government will remain firm
in it's policy of exterminating Eng,
lands merchant vessels as long as
England maintains it's policy of 'starv-
ing Germany"
EneIand's Effort.
That England will attempt to en-
broil Germany and neutral nations is
the hint made in an official statement
issued by the German press bureau to-
day. 1t follows:
1T is believed in German shipping
circles that it will aid England's inter
ests if conflicts arise between Ger
many and neutral states. 1t is not i'm
probable therefore that neutral ships
will be purposely sunk by British sub
marines.
