WAR BABY EVIL
I5EXAGGERATED
Investigation Among 10000
British Soldiers Shows
Reports Untrue.

London, Eng, May 19.-The war baby
evil has been greatly exaggerated, &C
cording TO the Daily News, which has
been conducting an independent 1nVes-
LEGATION in a small provincial CITY
where 10000 troops were billeted- Ihe
Investigators found shat the present
prospective increase over the previous
records OF iueEitimate births was
scarcely OF any account.
Most Of the assertions regarding war
babies have apparently no basis Of real
data, but have grown on hearsay, like
the country thinks the war babies are
TO be found in some other part Never
theless, there are many authentic in
stances Of soldiers with unmarried
wives, which has always been a feature
OF British army life, since regulations
generally oppose marriages Of enlisted
men. The historic condition was sud-
denly brought to public notice by the
inequalities Of the war separation al
lOwance, which relieves only the legal
wives Of soldiers
To test the rumor that the presence
OF soldiers in billets and camps have
been responsible for an outbreak Of i'm
morality. a correspondent Of the Daily
News went to a military center, where,
according to report, 1000 war babies
were expected. 200 being on the list OF
q single doctor and so on the list Of q
single nurse.
CIV ~ AZ naDlGA r Oluns
The writer interviewed the mayor OF
the city. who secuted the report. The
police inspector said he knew person
ally Of only four cases. A popular
Methodist minister and his wife had
never heard of a single instance. The
adjutant Of the Salvation army said
only seven cases had passed through
its hands, and the vicar Of the largest
parish had heard indirectly of not more
than dozen Neither the health Off
Ger. the workhouse doctor, the dispen-
sary doctor, nor number OF doctors
giving free treatment to the poorer
act. had come in contact with a single
maternity case in which the father was
q soldier One Of the doctors said he
had himself questioned his colleagues,
including the man said to have zOg
cases on his list. and only one knew OF
a single war baby
investigations were carried farther
but without additional results.
Some Cases Found
It was admitted, however, that some
III balanced and emotional young girls
had given the authorities some con-
cern. Lack Of parental discipline was
largely responsible for this several
girls left the town for other places TO
hide their condition. Some others had
appealed for help. but there are in nor
NAL times a regular percentage Of these
cases among the servant and WorklnB
classes. Apparently, this rate has been
very little exceeded As the lnVestlga-
tons. were conducted in the city which
started the war baby agitation II is not
likely that the problem is serious al
though the public from the cabinet
down have been greatly concerned and
a -frafa6 about it

AGITATOR CREATES SCENE
IN HOUSE OF COMMONS

London, Eng lay III scene WIS
created in the house Of commons Tues
day evening when F. H Charrington'
temperance advocate, who recently has
been carrying on a propaganda against
the PLAYING Of games during the wal
rushed into the chamber during the
debate on army pensions.
Running up to the speakers table he
attempted to remove the mace, al the
same time shouting:
'eYou have no right TO make"
Before he could finish the sentence
an attendant grabbed him and placed
his hand over his mouth and quickly
hustled the disturber out Into the
lobby.
The removal Of the mace from the
speakers desk would have brought the
proceedings TO a halt, for by time hon
ored custom the house is not legally
IN session unless the mace is in Its
place in front of the speaker.

PLAYS HORSE
BUYER; SECURES STOCK

Mandan News:-Arthur H. Peter
son, cashier of the State bank, act
ing as a horse buyer, recovered the
Bernhard Mayer horses and cattle at
Richardton last week and the stock
arrived in the city last Friday. By
his clever work he is entitled to Pink
erton and Burns recognition. AS a
result, Mayer, the former owner, is
under bonds of $500 to appear in
district court to answer to the
charge of fraud, because he told the
officers Of the bank that his stock
which was covered by mortgage, had
died, when the fact was that the ami
mails has been taken to Richardton.
Mayer has since become a bankrupt.
Mayer, who lived in the Crown
Butte vicinity, owed the State bank
$1,000 which was secured by six head
of horses and 10 cattle. He came to
town and stated that the stock had
all died. The bank officers questioned
the claim and demanded to be shown
the carcasses upon a visit to the
place, but only one could be found.
President Lanterman became SUSPECT
GUS of fraud and after searching for
information he learned that the par
ents of Mrs. Mayer, Mr.. and Mrs. JOS.
Bleth, lived near Richardton. The
possibility Of the cattle having been
taken there offered itself and Cashier
Peterson, in the capacity of sleuth,
went to the place and posing as a
horse buyer was able to identify the
mortgaged stock.
Mayer places his liabilities in the
bankruptcy proceedings as $4,000 and
among his assets are included two
quarters of land and considerable
money from his recent good crop.
The Mayors came here about ten
years ago from Richardton and
though bad years had made them
short of cash it did not seem neces-
sary that they should become insol-
vent at this time.
The Mayors are now living in Man
dan temporarily.
