EABY MOURN1D TWO YEARS AS
DEAD IS RESTORED TO PARENTS

New York, Sept. At is doubt
full if there are two happier parents
in New York City than Salvatore
Migliorisi and his wife, of No. SO
Catherine street. There is a little
girl, three and half years old, tod
ding about their home whom they
had believed dead for two years. The
child is their daughter, Josephine,
whom they last saw when she was a
year old.
The details of how it all happened
form one of the strangest incidents
of alien life in New York ever re-
corded. The little girl has been
spending the last two years and a
half in Bellevue hospital and Metro
politan hospital on Blackwell's is
land, safe and contented.
In fact she had been restored to
her parents only few hours when
she announced, 'T want to go home" !"
She also spoke in pure English,
while her parents utterance is very
difficult in anything but Italian. The
child does not know a word of her
native tongue.
Letter from Hospital
Both the hospital people and the
Migliorisis do not know yet Just who
is responsible. but 1t seems probable
that the mothers lack of knowledge
of English was the cause of the mis-
understanding.
After baby Josephine had been in
Bellevue for some time her father
and mother received a letter from
the hospital They took 1t to a neigh
Dor to translate and were told that
it said the child was dead. Mrs.
Migliorisisi, borne down with grief,
went to the hospital to claim her
child's bedy and was turned away
for some reason as yet unexplained. /.
Then the family moved again. This
is the reason the Charities Depart
ment investigators who have been
trying for a long time to find the
child's parents, were unable to
bring about the reunion for many
! weeks.

TO PRESIDENT WILSON

Parls.--A Madrid dispatch to The
Temps quotes The Impartial as re.
porting that President Wilson will re-
ceive a message from the German EN-.
peror In the same manner as did King
Alfonso. This statement is included
in an interview which the representa-
tives OF The Impartial had with the
German naval a'ttache, Won Krohn,
who declared that the bringing OF let
ters of the King Of Spain by a German
submarine could not affect Spanish
neutrality, which the Germans respect.
The Spanish newspapers, the dis.
patch adds, demand that the govern
ment take measures TO prevent repe-
tition OF the submarine incident.

that the Carrizal fight was the direct
result OF orders to attack American
soldiers moving otherwise than to-
wards the border personally issued by
General Carranza to General Trevino

Of action 1t has determined upon"
through the usual diplomatic channels,

officers"
The Mexican communication ia con.
strued, Secretary Lansing states, "as
a formal avowal Of deliberately hos.

the purpose to attack without provo

present position despite the friendly

General Carranza is required to

not evade responsibility before the
