London, April 2G Q1:50 y. MI
The war babies question is to be
investigated. A communication is
sued tonight at Lambeth palace, the
Arch Episcopal residence of the Arch
bishop of Canterbury, says:
THE archbishops Of Canterbury

Lidgett of the London school board
and editor of the Methodist Times;
Adelaine, Duchess of Bedford; Dr..
Mary Dacomb Scharlieb, governor of
st. Mary's college, Paddington: Lady
Londonderry and others have been
giving careful consideration to the al
legged possibility of there being during
the war an increase in the number of
illegitimate births, and have request
ed small committees Of ladies', in con-
junction with the National Union of
Women Workers to investigate the ma
ture and the extent of the danger"
The reports that the committees
shall make up and the steps to be TAX
en- if the problem proves a serious
one, will be considered by another
committee of which the archbishop
of York is chairman. The archbish-
op, referring to the matter in a
speech today, said there had been
much exaggeration in the public re-
ports on the subject and that where
it had been possible to test the figures
given in the reports il almost inVar-
iaby had proved untrue.

volver which Cowle had concealed
under his coat
Miss Wheeler asked what the RIBBON
was for and Cowle replied that 1t was
a Surprise At his urgent request
she pulled the ribbon, which caused
