ABANDONED BABY
TO HAVE HON =:
MOTHER CONSENTS

Master Paul Raymond Ward, three.
weeks-old infant abandoned on the
back porch of the George Will resi-.
dence Monday evening about 9:3O
o'clock, is going to have home. A
petition was filed with the clerk of
the district court yesterday by Will
liam G. Hoffner and his wife, Ida B.
Hoffner, of Solen, N. D., for the adop-
ton of the child. The mother has
consented.
Early this afternoon, the mother, 21
years, and her sister, rs years, ap-
peared in the district court chambers
and changed their pleas from guilty to
not guilty and asked Judge Nuessle,
through their attorney, H. E. O'Hare,
accept them. The judge refused to
acquiesce, stating that to do so would
provide for the imposing of fine for
a felony and believing that the young
ladies had more than shared their
burdens of trouble, released them on
their own cognfzance.
He requested that the mother ap-
pear at the hearing on the adoption of
the baby which will be held some time
next month.

On the Tigris, the British, after a

cut over to Kut.el- -Amara on the
south, and are continuing to attack
the Turkish forces in that region, ev

Egypt, on the Mediterranean, 80
miles east of the Seuz canal
Little has been heard from the
Egyptian operations for some time
but the British are known to have
been making somewhat elaborate
preparation to protect the canal re-

that of last summer, and their de-
fensive lines have been pushed far
out on the Sinai peninsula. Appar
emily there has been a recent effort
still further to extend the defensive
zone, of which the capture of Ell Ar

Washington, Dec. 22.-With the pur..
pose Of President Wilson's note to the
belligerents clarified by official state
ments on the subject. the attention Of
the United States has turned to the re-
ception of the note in the foreign capi.
tails.
Eagerly Watching.
Diplomats here are eagerly watch
ing for indications Of whether the
European neutrals will follow the lead
of the United States and make q sim.
liar appeal to the warning powers.
There is a growing feeling that the
United States hopes to become tho
clearing house for views, and possibly
for terms Of the belligerents. Several
of the diplomats have advised their
government to that effect in order to
guide them in their replies. =
Are Surprised.
Surprise at the fast growing signifl-
cance Of the presidents move IL q.
pressed on oil sides, which point ont
that at first the opinion prevailed that
the note itself was merely "feeler."
and that the most Immediately con-
templated effect was the receipt Of
some sort of delineation from the var
ious warning nations. That the presi::
dent should let it be known indirectly
to the diplomats for their guidance
| that he went even further than that
and counted on an absolutely frank
reply from the belligerents which
should lead to an actual opening for
negotiations, proved only less surpris'
| ing than the actual note ITSELF
Not Pro.oerman Move.
Indications that Entente diplomats
would advise their governments to re-
ply to the presidents note In friend
ly spirit proved source of gratifica'
tion today, as it was pointed out both
in the note itself and in Secretary
Lansing's explanation that one Of the
dangers was that the Allies would con-
strue the step as a Dro-German move.
Every effort was made to remove this
impression.
Secretary Lansing's two statements.
Issued yesterday, were today forward
ed to American diplomatic representa-
tives in European nations. "
Free Hand.
The president is to have free hand
in his peace negotiations with bellig'
erent powers, according to congress
sional action today. Both houses today
refused to take any action in his ro-
cent peace move, until after the holi'
days at least.
Representative Bailey, Pennsylva'
mia. today introduced resolution into
the house. calling upon that body to I'M
mediately endorse and approve the
presidents action in sending a peace
note to belligerent nations.
