M0THERED TWO CHILDREN
TO GIVE HER OWN CHILD LIFE
Woman Undertook Care of Infants to
Gain Nourishment for Third.

A woman mothered two foundlings in
the wards of city hospital for the price
Of her own babys life This story was
told today at the headquarters of the
Emergency Aid Committee. The mother
and her infant are now being cared for
by the committee.
Fifty-six cents a week stood between
this woman's baby and life when the
mother, in destitute circumstances, was
unable to get sufficient nourlshment.
She faced the alternative OF getting food
at once or seeing her child die the slow
death of starvation.
Long weeks of trying to find work and
care for the baby at the same time had
sapped her strength.
She did not know that she could sue
ceed when she undertook the care of two
other infonts at hospital so that her
own child might live, but with sublime
courage she tried. At the hospital she
could obtain the nourishment which made
her able to nurse the children.
The Emergency Aid Committee found
her little one was n pltiful. drawn thing,
holding to life by a thread.

TO SEE LOOT ON DISPLAY
Booty Found in Alleged "Fence" Will
Be Shown in Court.

Three hundred men and women victims
of burglars applied to downtown police
stations today to identify their property
in the $4,000 worth of loot the police re-
covered from an alleged fence" They
were informed they would have oppor-
tunity TO inspect the booty next Monday
night at Central station.
What amounts almost to a public eXhi-
bition of all kinds of jewelry and valua-
bles will be held that night at City Hall.
Victims of burglars from all parts of the
city will have a chance to search through
the treasure for their property.
Another batch of jewelry was obtained
by the police today, they say, from the
safe at the store of Charles White, 1928
South Second street, the jeweler under
arrest o2 the charge of buying $4,000
worth of Atolen valuables from thieves.
White, whose arrest was made possible,
the police say, through the confession of
William Foley, Carpenter street near
Second, that he had perpetrated 1S rob-
berries within the last few months and
that White had bought the proceeds, said
today the men he bought the stuff from
always told him they had bought 1t at
auction. He and Foley are being held in
5000 bail each for further hearing
John Deal, Moyamensing avenue above
Reed street, one of the many who ap-
piled hoping to Identify stolen property
today, told the police that by a peculiar
coincidence he had an alarm clock at
Whites store for several days, undergoing
repairs. Deal lost 5000 worth of valua-
bles when burglars visited him some
months ago.
According to information obtained TO-
day by the police, one OF the men who
sold his loot to White has a bank account
and a house and lot. He is said TO be
Beeny stosky. who is now serving a term
In the Eastern Penitentiary. So far the
oank account has not been located.

his IS years experience as a lawyer and
Judge, had he heard such a conflict Of
testimony
Eliminating the legal phraseology tho
facts are these, according to the tesd-
mony: The Buschels seek to recover an

100000 BRIT0NS TO TAKE
FIELD AGAINST GERMANY
Kitchener's Plans Revealed by Re-
vised Army Estimates.
LONDON, Feb. 5

o.
England will put at least 100000 men
in the field TO fight the Germans. An
idea of the plans of Earl Kitchener Sec
retary of State for War, revealing the
strength of the British forces, was given
today when the new army estimates were
issued in revised form by the War Of
fee.
The House of Commons will be asked
to vote not the actual sum OF money re-
quested by the War office for the equip
ment and maintenance OF these forces,
but an appropriation in round figures.
The actual sum will be reserved in order
to prevent the information from reach
ing England's enemies.
An appropriation necessary for a total
OF 100000 men, in round numbers, win
be voted. This is an increase over the
number OF men originally requested by
the War office for a victory over Ger
many.
