One of our worthy and especially
meritorious students, Miss Minnie
Criteser, has been elected teacher of
the second grade work in the Elvins
public schools for the coming scholas-
tic year. Miss Criteser is in every
way deserving, and we congratulate
her upon this recognition and predict
a successful years work for her.
Misses Stella Schaffer and Minnie
Criteser closed their school work with
us this week! Miss Criteser, as above
mentioned, has been elected as teach
er, while Miss Schaffer may secure
some position of only average respon-
sibility during the summer months,
and if not, she hopes to return in the
fall and complete her course.
William Moothart is posing as the
fishing hero at present, having land
ed fine eight-pound channel catfish
last Saturday morning. The special
feature worthy of mention is that the
hook used was of very small size, and,
in fact, the pole and the line as well,
were not supposed to be equal to re-
quirements usually needed in landing
one of the finny tribe of this size and
weight.
Alvi Papin, one of our especially
graduates, became bene-
lict last week, and was visiting friends
and relatives in and near Pennington.
Mr., Papin is assistant secretary to the
Ohaffee Trust Co., Chaffee, Mo-, and
& receiving a very lucrative salary.

MOTHER CONSENTS
 TO LET BABY DIE
DECLARED OPERATION WOULD
 BE IMBECiLE AND CRIPPLED.

Chicago Mrs. Anna Bollinger told the story of her consent to lot her six-day-old son, deformed in body and mind, died, rather than live life bar ren and useless"
 The mother. confined to, her bed in the German-American hospital, agreed with Dr. H. J. Haiselden, chief of the hospital staff, to sacrifice the child when simple operation would assure it's life. The infant. if 1t lives, would, in the opinion of pr. Ha1sel. den, be mental and perhaps moral defective. He, therefore. with the con- sent of the child's parents, declined to perform the operation.
 'lt is not heartless to me-" Mrs. Bollinger said. T loved the poor little deformed one as love my three other healthy children. But the doctor told me 1t would be cripple all it's lie probably an imbecile and possibly a criminal. l gave my consent to its death. Left to itself, if had no chance to live. l consented to let nature take it's course.
 No one need to think me an un' natural mother. This poor little one if allowed to live, would be barren useless. It is one of natures blunders, and l am willing that nature should correct It's error by my baby's death l am satisfied I am doing right"
 Dr. Haiselden said he was prepared to face bitter criticism and defend his course
 'I have no doubt that I shall be called a murderer" he said, but the infants death is a question between me and my conscience"

ACTION TAKEN IN
 ANCONA INCIDENT
AMBASSADOR AT VIENNA IS IN STRUcTEO TO ASK FOREIGN
 OFFICE FOR DETAILS.

WaShington.-Am Penfleld at Vienna was instructed to ask the Austro-Hungarian foreign office for de- tails of the torpedoing of the Italian liner Ancona, in the Mediterranean. with loss of several American lives.
 This action was taken on the presen. tation by the Austrian embassy here to Secretary Lansing of a comunica- tion from the Vienna admiralty stat ing that an Austrian submarine sank the AnCona and asserting that ample time was accorded for passengers and crew to escape Until responsibility for the action of the submarine, which it had been reported was of German nationality, was officially an- nounced the American government had withheld formal inquiry at Vienna.
 Undetermined points on which the American government seeks informa- tion are:
 Did the submarine fire a warning shot?
 blu lilc SupHldIlHe cease HrluS Wneu the Ancona came to a stop?
 How much time was given passen. gers and crew to get into the fife boats?
 What were the activities of the sub. mar'nC while the ship was unloading its passengers?
 Was a torpedo fired while any of the passengers were aboard?
 It is considered possible here that tie submarine may have been an Austrian craft with some German of fiCers and men aboard, but until the facts are established no inquiry will be made of Ambassador Gerard at Berlin. Press reports from Berlin have stated that the German govern, ment disclaimed any connection with the incident.
 A reply to the inquiry of Ambassa- der Penfield probably will not be re- ceived for several days. Officials would not predict what the character of representations by the United States might be should it develop that enough time was not given the An. cona's passengers to escape as alleged by Italy.

WASHINGTON'S ATTENTION IS ATTRACTED TO COMPLICATED
 SITUATED IN FAR EAST.
IAPAN'S5 ATTITUDE UNKNOWN
Claims Most of Conversations Have Been Conducted at Picking, and Is Not Clear How Far Proposal
 Has Been Discussed.

Washington.-Effo are being made by Great Britain. France and Russia to include China in the mem bership of the entente. Washington S attention is attracted to a compli' cated situation in the Far East, the seriousness. of which had not been realized.
 In order to insure friendly relations between Japana and China, conversa tions have been proceeding in Picking and the European capitals looking to the formal entrance of China on an equal footing with Japan into the al liance.
 Military participation by China in the war would not be expected, but the political necessity of adding Chi na to the allies is considered of vast importance. Recently several Japan csc warships were placed at strategic points along the Chinese coast and the possibility of internal revolution in China through the proposed change from republic to parliamentary mon- archy had caused some Japanese off cials to believe munitions of war should be husbanded for emergencies. When the recent Japanese-Chinese ne gotiations were in progress, Japan felt compelled to hold her ammunition supply for developments, which em- barrassed Russia considerably
 Most of the conversations have been conducted at Picking, and it is not clear how far the proposal has been discussed with the Japanese gov, ernment. It is believed Great Britain has consulted Tokio freely.
 China is said to be favorably in Clined to the proposal since the move would guarantee the integrity of Chi na during the present disturbed con- dition of world politics and safeguard her interests at the peace conference. Some rumors are that the plan origi, mated with the Chinese who saw a means of checkmating possible Japa- nese aggression.
 The feeling in China against Japan has been growing on account of the recent negotiations and the possfbil- ity that a more friendly spirit might be developed between the two Orien- tai countries is said to be factor in behalf of Japanese approval of the plan.
