IS THIS BOY A FOUNDING
OR HEIR TO GREAT FORTUNE?

LONDON, Dec. "A curly headed
little boy waits at the austere por-
tails Of the British house OF lords
today to learn whether he is the pen
niless founding of a San Francisco
by street or heir to British estates
and an English country gentleman.
He is freddy" (Charles Eugene Ed
ward) Slingsby, a bright young Cali
fornia six year old who has been buff
feted about between $4,000 a year
and penniless namelessness ever since
he came into the world September j,
1910.
Mr.. and Mrs, Charles Henry Rey-
nard Sllngsby of san Francisco, who
claim to be Teddy's father and moth
er, claim Teddy is entitled to the
Yorkshire estate of his alleged
father, the late Reverend Charles
Slingsby. Reverend Slingsby willed
his estate to ''the first male heir
born to any of his children.
The British court of probate and
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1916-12-02

divorce on February 4, 1915, decreed
Teddy the true son and heir Of Mr.
and Mrs. c. H. Slingsby. C. H. r
Slingsby in 1900 married Mrs. Dor
othy Morgan Warner, a Kentucky So
ciety widow.
C. II. R, Slingby's two younger
brothers, Thomas William and Alan
Peter Slingsby, respectively, had con-
tested the claim of the C. H. R. sling
sbys that Teddy was their son. They
claimed and made a long court fight
to prove that Teddy was the son Of
Lillian Anderson. a san Francisco
school girl; and was taken over by
the c. H. R. Slingsbys as their son
so he could claim the Yorkshire es-
tate. They produced from a San
Francisco newspaper what they
claimed was an advertisement placed
therein by Mrs. Slingsby advertis-
ing for a new born baby.

court decided against the two broth

The government has been as powerless to protect it's citizens across the border as it wls to compel a salute to the flag at Vera Cruz. And in the face of the crowning outrage of recent wholesale murder of Americans Q Washington dispatch says there is mo evidence of any change in the American policy!" It has the old excuse.

 American rights have since been he'd in as scant respect as when the Lusitania was destroyed. As vita Mexico, it has been a sorry chapter of wearisome, meaningless was'ed words.

Max Nordau Predicts Riches For America
 After the War

Dr. Max Simon Nordau. one of the ereatest of Jewish authors, was born In Budapest. Hungary, sixty-seven years ago today. the son of rabbi. Dr.. Nordau was in France at the out break of the war, and, as native of an enemy country, was interned for time. but was later released on( his parole of honor and went to Madrid. At his new home in the Spanish capi- tai the famous Hebrew philosopher
 has written much about the war. As to the effects of the struggle upon the future of Europe he Is decidedly pessi- mistic. declaring that. whoever con uuers, the utter destruction" of. the Old World is certain. As a physician and scientist, he takes a gloomy view Of the results of the ravages of war upon the populationa and predicts that for generations to come the inhabitants of the stricken countries will be a stunted, sickly, unprogressive race of men. What Is Europe's terrible loss, he thinks, will be Americas gain, and all the nations of the New World will prosper as never before when the European butchery is over. The in- tolerable conditions in Europe. he be- 1ieves, will drive the ablest and strong est of the people of the warning na- tions to seek new homes in the United States, Canada. or Central and South America. Crushed by the burden of taxation. vast hordes of Europeans will geek d New World refuge. The capi- taltsts of Europe, too, Dr.. Nordau holds, will strive to, escape the heavy bssrdens placed upon them by the war by seekink Investments on the other side of the Atlantic. New York win take the place of London as the swofld's great money market, and Buenos Ayres and Rio de Janeiro will also become important financial cen- ters. Aslregards the United States, pr. Nordau recently made this prediction: ;l.eg"America is assured of an era of magnificent economic prosperity after the war. The influx of the most ener- 9etic and 1iberty-1oving clements of the European population will have an effect to be measured not only by the number of the newcomers, but also by their fermentative virtue. National iprodyction and wealth will experience an extraordinary augmentation. Be- fore the middle of the twentieth cen tury the United States will certainly attain a population of 150, ,000, 900. and before the year 2000 1t most probably VIII be over 300s000,000."
