LITTLE BABY JONES

Infant Without a Home Is Quite
III, But Has Good Chance
for Recovery.

Lying very still on his little back,
gazing with n questioning look at the
doctors who bend over him and listen
to the rather feeble beat of his tiny
heart. Baby Jones lies at the WASH
ington Foundlings' Hospital today, still
quite Ill. Although the doctors don't
say he is any worse. they refuse to pre-
dict an early recovery. His condition,
they say, is Just the same. neither bet
ter nor worse.
But many other little boys have been
Just the same way, and have suffered
from the same sort OF bronchial cough
Baby Jones has, and with the aid of
doctors and mothers have managed to
throw II of and become WELL. strong
babies. SO there is considerable hope
being held out for Baby Jones' recov-
cry. Although he has no mother, the
nurses are giving him a mothers care,
and the doctors are using all their skill
in helping him in his struggle against
the sickness which Is wasting the boy 3

CADRERA'S ATTACK
PUZZLES OFFICIALS.
Deep Seated Feeling Here That
= Denied Statement Did Not
] Happen by Accident.

Persons In close touch with the Next
can situation are up in tho air over
tho bitter attack on the United states
put out as IL from Louis Cabrera. This
attack has been automatically repudi-
ated, but there Is a deep seated feeling
IN Washington that 1t did not happen by
accident.
One theory which has support here Ia
that Cabrera foresees the futility Of
the work OF the Mexican commission,
and, has taken this means to end It's
usefulness, charging the United states
with its failure.
Connected with this theory is the be-
lief which obtains in some. quarters that
the Administration Is likely to pursue
n sitter policy regarding Mexico II the
President Is reelected.
May Go Into Mexico.
II is known that in high army circles
the view prevails the army will prob
ably be sent into Mexico before many
months.
Another theory as to the so-caued
Cabrera statement Is that Cabrera does
not want to be sent to Washington to
succeed Ambassad dor Designate Arredon-
do. and that he has taken this way to
head Off any such plan. IL Is SAID Car
rama contemplates giving Arredondo
a high position in Mexico and eliminate
ing Cabrera from the internal AFFAIRS
Of the republic.
Change Responsibility.
Cabrera is charged by some Mexicans
as being the man who is responsible
for much of the trouble Carranza is
having. 1t is alleged that as the result
in part OF Cabrera's plans, the first
chief now has practically no power. and
officers about him are carrying on
things with a high hand to their own
benefit.
Cabrera 1t is recalled, was largely
responsible for the original split be-
tween Carranza and villa. 1t was In
1914. when Cabrera was in Washington,
that he made an attack on Villa that
helped to cause a break between Villa
and the Carranza regime. Now, II Is
charged. Cabrera is seeking to affiliate
closely with Obregon.

circles of the Capital 90 out for their
annual stalk-is drawing nigh.
II preparations for the occasion can
be taken as a criterion, the event for
the adult populace at least, Will be as

thusiasm with which the juvenile con-

Whereas the caution OF the occasion
for some may be epitomized In The
