You will be garbed in coat with a

Family of Banana
Boy" Is Located
Hiding in Ndtchez
NEWSPAPERS SUCCEED IN FIND
ING PARENTS OF HATTIEsBuRe
MUTE HELD IN CHICAGO.

Two Mississippi newspapers today
succeeded in locating the mother OF
Marcus Walker, the 14-year-old Hat
tiesburg mute, now held in Chicago on
a charge of vagrancy, after search
which has extended over the entire
state for 10 days.
The Hattiesburg News and the Nat.
chez-News-Democrat have definitely
unearthed the hiding place of the
boys mother, who also is mute, his
step-father, and several of his broth
ers and sisters. They were found in
an out of the way place in Natchez,
where they have been since August
"a.
The National Fraternity OF Mutes
of Chicago, has been notified of the
find, and it is understood that young
Marcus, who left Hattiesburg two
weeks ago under rather dramatic and
exciting circumstances, will be sent
to his mother in Natchez, at once.
Efforts on the part of the fraternity,
the postoffice department and the po.
| lice departments of several Mississip.
pi cities to find the boys parents,
availed nothing.
Working on "tip" from Kenmore,
Miss, yesterday, The Hattiesburg
News Immediately communicated with
the Natchez News-Democrat. "The
family found in destitute circum-
stances in Natchez the latter part OF
last month, is believed to be that OF
young Walker" The News old the

| This afternoon, The News received
this telegram:
"The parents of Marcus Walker, the
boy who rode to Chicago locked ur
in a banana car, have been located
here"
The Chicago fraternity was notified
at once.
Whether the lad will be returned to
Hattiesburg is not known. While here
he subsisted by doing errands ant
small jobs in the business section o
the city. He boarded northboun'
fast fruit express train two weeks ago
to take a short ride. He was locke'
up in the banana car, and could no
get out until Chicago has been reach
ed. He was arrested on vagranc!
charge, when the Society of Mute
took hand.
The boys step. father is. .Rober

and to show the rural population ol
the disadvantages of patronizing such

Washington, D. c., Sept. 3.-Has
the German submarine campaign been
a failure in military sense
Is the realization of this fact re-
sponsible in part for the willingness
of the German government to modify
its course toward American passen-
gers at sea and thus to mollify pub
lie sentiment in the United States?
Excellent reasons appear for be-
lieving that the Won Tirpltz subma'
rine war has by no means done what
was expected of it; that Berlin per
ceiyes English commerce is continu'
ing to thrive, and that the Kaiser and
his advisers are no longer willing to
