LONDON WATCHES N. Y.
Lombard Street Awaits Course of
Money Market.

London, July 12.-Lombard street is
anxiously waiting the course of the
money market in New York as a
further rise is sure to bring corporat-
ing measures of protection here in the
shape of higher discount and treasury
bill rates in order to protect exchange
and retain balances.
Some authorities believe the strin-
gency in New York is only temporary,
but in view of the fact that New York,
as the chief money center of the world
for the time being, is absorbing a
large amount of dollar securities and
financing loans for Russia, France
and neutrals, besides its own domestic
trade, it is an interesting question
whether the monetary stringency will
be relieved.
Sinking reserves and the necessity
of financing American crops have to
be considered but in the opinion of
Lombard street if money does not ma
terially exceed the present level, there
will be no necessity for further pro-
tective measures here, where today
three months bills are quoted at
5A @5A per cent and day loans over
per cent.

ssBaby BIatz," Waif, UnwelcOme
in World, Dies in Topeka.
Left to Care of Others by
Woman Who Made Mistake.
THRU WORLD OF ADVERSITIES
Finally, After 5 Months, the
Tiny Hands Were Folded.
Cared For by Kindly Lady Who
Longed for a Child.

Baby Blatz is dead. AS matter of
fact the baby has been dead for sew
eraI days but there was no one to
mourn his death and it passed unan-
nounced.
Baby Blatz--the only name he bore
during the five short months he lived
came into the world an unwelconle
little mite of humanity, was deserted
by his one parent the day after he
was born, served as plaything for
half a dozen children, was rescued
and nursed back to a semblance of
health, then died.
He was one of twins. His brother
died the day he was born and thus
escaped the fate of Baby Blatz.
Early in the spring a strange couple
came to Topeka, young woman and
an elderly man. The man said he was
the woman's uncle. They took rooms
on Monroe street and remained there
for a few weeks. The woman gave
birth to twins. The day after that
the uncle" made an arrangement
with Mrs. Jack Slavens in North To-
peka to care for one child and that
night he and the woman disappeared.
They had told the landlady the wom-
ans name was Blatz.
Out on Sidewalk.
Mrs. Slavens cared for the child as
best she could with five or six of her
own to look after Saturday night
came and the money from the uncle"
was not forthcoming. Monday Jack
Slavens was killed while moving a
house. Mrs. Slavens could not care
for the baby. 1t was reported that the
Slavens children had the little child
out on the sidewalk in the sun and
wind playing with it like they would
play with. a dog or cat.
A woman made an investigation and
found the facts as reported. She took
the child away from the children and
before the probate judge. For week
nothing was done about the child bu;
eventually it was turned over to L. L.
kiene, sheriff, and he arranged to
have it cared for. There were many
days when the child hovered between
life and death but it gained gradually
Then it developed whooping cough.
There was another fight to keep the
breath of life in its boy.
Woman's Good Care.
Not long ago the baby was turned
over to a woman who wanted it be-
cause it was baby. She cared moth
ing about its antecedents nor its his
tory. She bathed it and cared for 1,
| as if it were her own. But the Door
beginning Baby Blatz had had, the
lack of care and the exposure had re-
| duced its chances to zero, and a few
nights ago its hands were folded across
| it's breast.
| Somewhere there is a father and
somewhere is the mother who desert
ed her offspring the day after it was
| born. Officials have tried to trace
her without success. Baby Blatz is
dead and buried and apparently the
only one who cares is a stranger a
| woman who knew neither the father
nor the mother and who cares only be-
| cause it was a baby

the north, who asserted that in his

operation of the mines, smelters and

of work and resultant hunger have
been forced into a life of banditry,
could be given employment

traces of anti-American sentiment
have disappeared. Numbers of for

mediately revive the dormant indus
tries of northern Mexico would be the
greatest help the American govern
ment can render the republic.

Baltimore, Nd, July 12.-Secure in
the belief that the Washington gov

Captain Konig today hastened work of
unloading the million dollar dyestuffs
cargo from the mammoth German su-
per-submarine Deutschland. He was
anxious to have done with this task
and to commence taking on the most
precious cargo-nickel and rubber
for the return trip to Germany.
The really vital test for the Deutsch-
land is still ahead. This will come
when she shunts her vast green body
beneath the waves and shoots out for
home while watchful allied ships off
the Virginia capes endeavor to destroy
or capture her.
She will not have the advantage of
the secrecy which marked her depart

AS matters now stand, the Deutsch-
land holds will be empty some time to-
morrow, filling her with nickel and
rubber will take two or three days.

Baltimore, Md. July 1.-THE Bre-

submarine Deutschland, is now at sea,
it was learned officially today. When
she will dock or where, is, however,
kept carefully guarded secret The
best obtainable information is that she
will reach the United States within
two weeks.
Bremen May Come to Baltimore Too.
The tug Timmons, secret "go-be-
tween" for the Deutschland and her
local agents, is at present in the har-
Dor here, said an announcement from
the Eastern Forwarding company to-
day, in answer to printed reports that
she had gone on another secret mis-
sion. The TimmonS probably will tow
the Deutschland down the river to
Norfolk where she picks up part of
her cargo and then may await arrival
of the DeutSchland's sister ship Bre-
men. Just where the Bremen will
dock has not been disclosed but water
too, is coming here. Intimations are
that the Bremen and Deutschland are
the first of line of eight or more car
go submarines.
German Ambassad dor Won Bernstorff
will come here tomorrow to inspect
the giant submarine Deutschland and
congratulate her captain and crew, it
was officially announced today. Her
visit is said to be unofficial, however.
London, July 12--The Daily News

FOR POLAND
President May Make Personal
Appeal to Monarchs.
Tells Delegation q. s. Has Made
Extreme Efforts.

Washington. July 12.-President
Wilson may make a personal appeal
to the ruling monarchs of the bellig-
erent nations of Europe to save Po-
land from starvation.
Replying to the appeal for such ac-
ton made to him today by a delega-
ton representing the Polish organiza-
tons of the country, the president
strongly indicated that if all other
measures failed. he will take the ques-
ton up personally. The president
told the delegation:
The Polish situation has engaged
my thought constantly and 1 might
say without exaggeration I do not
think there is any matter to which
the state department has devoted
more constant and repeated effort
than that of trying to get relief to
Poland.
Well Aware of Conditions.
Il know the terrible conditions, the
tragic conditions, that exist there, and
nobody could know them without feel
ing his heart torn with the knowledge.
1 Just the other day 1 issued a special
appeal to the governments concerned
! to make concessions and allow this
humane thing to be done. Now 1 am
simply up against a stone wall in the
matter cannot force food in there
without complicating the situation
and without, 1 conjecture, doing a
greater disaster to Poland than ser
vice Her only friends are apparently
at disadvantage but I can assure
you that every kind of pressure that
can be brought will be brought and is
being brought to the Accomplishment
| of this object.
/ 'I desire. as well as all those asso-
Grated with me, to help her and as q
reminder it was most unnecessary thai
you should come here. 1 mean 1 was

likely to be forgetful of her but thai

GEN. COETHALS RESIGNS
President Reluctantly Comedies to
Engineer Who Built Panama Canal.

Washington, July 12.-President
Wilson today agreed to accept the
resignation of Major General Goethals
as governor of the Panama canal at
an early date, to be fixed by the gen.
eral. Gocthals called at the White
House and again urged mis- desire to
resign, and retire from the active list
of the army, now that his work OF
building the canal had been finished.
Later the president authorized the
statement that he reluctantly had left
the matter in General Goethals's
hands.
Colonel Chester Harding, now en-
gineer of maintenance in the canal
zone, probably will be appointed gov
ernor.
General Goethals was promoted and
given the right to retire by an act of
congress. He planned to give up his
work several months ago but with
drew his request because of renewed
slides in the canal He now thinks
the danger of serious slides has been
eliminated and does not expect to re-
turn to Panama.
