Salvatore MigiliOrisi and his wife
are the happiest parents in New York
city. Their little daughter Josephine,
three and n half years old, who they
believed dead for two years, has
turned up alive. The story is one of
the strangest in the annals of New
York alien life. Two years ago the
baby was taken to hospital. Some
time later the parents received letter
from the hospital. They could not
read this. so they took it to a friend
to have it read. The friend told them
that it said that the child was dead.
When the parents went to the hospital
! to claim the body of the child they
were turned away for some unknown
reason. Then the parents moved sew
eraI times. In the meantime the
charities department was continually
hunting for them. The. department
has just located them.

papers announced his arrival in Paris,
declaring that he had been seen by
friends, and this lulled suspicion in
Switzerland.
Il returned to Zurich with a dis
guise for him, false beard, spectacles,
heavy shoes, etc, and Gilbert took the
train, having bought a ticket for
Bienne. There we walked some miles
toward Geneva, when an automobile
met us, which footed its horn three
times. In second we were inside
and, taking side road to avoid the
high road, reached a little wood near
Geneva, where we received the latest
news about the direction police activ-
tiles were taking.
Crossing the Frontier,
eve decided to start next day, which
was Ascension day, which seemed APP
propriate for an aviator. The last
night was passed in Il village near
| Geneva and after some hours walking
next morning we saw the frontier, the
railroad and the road from Anne
masse to Bellegarde. This was the
point we had chosen for crossing the
| line.
THE actual crossing proved easy.
The Swiss gard happened to be some
yards away and Gilbert took to his
legs and got into France before the
| guard reached him."
The French guard, however, chal-
lenged him, and the only papers" Gil
bert could show were his Legion of
Honor cross, his military medal and
his war cross. When he gave his name,
the brave guard accepted these deco
ratiOns as proof of identity and tele-
phoned his superior officers, who
brought an automobile for Gilbert's
use.
A triumphant welcome met him at
Lyons where he was able to borrow
an aviator officers uniform. A still
more enthusiastic welcome awaited
him at Paris, where the minister of
war congratulated him and gave him
permission so that he can take a
short rest before resumlng his place
at the front. Gilbert needs some rest,
as, in addition to his irksOme life as a
prisoner, he had to thin himself down
considerably in order to be sure of
passing down the ventilation shaft.

OFFICE OF TOWN
 CLERK BURIED IN UNF|NISHEDW0RK
Schultz Loses Control of Sit uation and Asks for Two
 More Copyists

When he returns from his vacation Town Clerk Joseph Schultz will ask the common council to give him two additional copyistS. The town clerk now has nine copyists. an increase of three. since he took office. It is pro- posed. to increase this force to II. Re- gently the copyists got so far behind in their work that lawyers, title searchers, and others who have busi- ness with the office made many com plaints and the common council gave the town clerk another copyist, in creasing his force from eight to nine. With the additional help the work has not progressed any faster in fact, things seem to be worse than they were before.
 Some of the lawyers ascribe this to the fact that Mr. Schultz had difficulty in retaining the oldest and most eX- perienced copyists in the office. They sought new positions to the great real estate boom that is on here and to the unusual number of personal mat ters, conditional bills of sale and oth- CT papers now being offered for rec ord.
 It takes from two to three weeks for the return from record off a war ranty, quit claim or mortgage paper. It takes longer for the record of the conditional bills of sale particularly those regarding automobiles. The forms submitted by one dealer in automobile trucks here are very com plicated documents, and the record ing fee on them is $6, the fee being based on the amount of work which the copyist has to perform. These bills of sale for other automobiles vary from $3 to s5. For several cars the fee is s1.5O and $1 for mo- torcycles Sometimes dealers in the latter vehicles bring in 25 of these bills of sale at once.
 The work of indeXing attachments and releases of attachments has fall en so far behind since Miss Clara Weber left the office that the town clerks office force cannot give out in- formation correctly without searching through a pile of documents that lie awaiting record.
 Miss Weber is now Mrs. Clarence E. Winton, having married the assis- tant town clerk.
 When they were asked recently to allow another copyist in the town clerks office members of the common council were told that the work would thus be brought up to date speedily. The work is farther be- hind than ever, vacation period has made it worse, and MT. Schultz must ask for the additional help.

Sweden retaliated by holding up large quantities of parcels post matter in transit between England and Russia. This led to an exchange of notes which accomplished nothing and early this month a deadlock was reached.
 Great Britain insisted as a condi- ton to submitting the dispute to arbi- tration that Sweden must promise not to interfere again with English mail matter. Sweden declined and the Swedish minister at London went to the continent to be gone for several weeks. Negotiations weer transferred to Stockholm but the latest advfces from London were that no solution of the problem was in sight.
