DUMB BOY is NOW NORMAL
His Vocal Organs Are Perfect and He
Must Learn to Talk as
Baby Does.

Amigo, Wis.-Marvin Worden, who
has been unable to talk since he was
six years old because of q paralysis
of the throat, now has normal vocal
organs, according to Mayo brothers,
Rochester, MINI.
They found it unnecessary to per-
form an operation, as the growth that
was believed to have impeded his
speech is external. His hearing is
perfect, but he must learn to talk
much as baby does. Happiness
shone on Marvin's face when he
learned that there was nothing to pre-
vent him from learning to talk.
He graduated from the eighth grade
of the school for the deaf here this
year, and an attempt will be made to
give him higher education. Marvin
was taken to Rochester through the
kindness of Mrs. Thomas Kavanaugh,
this city. Division Superintendent G..
J. Quigley, Northwestern railway,
saw that the boy got transportation.

POULTRY FARMS IN PARKS
British Authorities Suggest Economic
Plan to Save Sum of $A0.oo0,oo0
Year.

London.-In the hope Of educating
the public mind so as to ultimately
save at least half Of the 100000
($4O,O0O,0O0) a year spent on foreign
eggs before the war, London parks
may be thrown open for poultry breed
ing. The scheme is receiving serious
consideration by the authorities be-
cause it is one of the latest wartime
economies suggested on a large scale.
The promoters of the idea have
asked for part Of one park to start
with. The plan provides for site of
about three acres and the provision of
accommodation for 600 hens. The lead
ing poultry breeders of the country will
be invited to send six selected fowls
of the same breed and strain. Scien-
tific feeding tests are to be made.
All the eggs will go to the wounded
soldiers and prizes will be awarded to
the owners of the hens laying the
most eggs.

Berlin.-Prfnce Miguel of Braganza,

husband of the former Anita Stewart
of New York, has been appointed an
honorary first lieutenant of the Ger
man army, with the uniform of the

scales fairly even and Qdcen Wilhel-
nina and King Alfonso are assured Of
their positions, unless the latter is dis
turbed by internal revolution due to
the economic distress occasioned pri-
marily by the war.
Would Germany, victorious, return
his throne to Albert of Belgium? Hard
ly. If she did, it would be shadow
Of his former busy little kingdom.
Germany would demand control of the
port Of Antwerp, the annexation Of
territory on the east and the autonomy
of the Flemish-speaking provinces. If
Germany is defeated, Albert's domain
and prestige will likely be increased
over what they were in that fatal July,
1914.

support Prince Miguel If he tries to
capture the crown worn by his grand
f~ther.
The marriage of the prince to Miss
Stewart took place in TullOch castle,
Scotland, September Is, 1909. If the
war ends with victory for Germany
and Austria there is strong probable
ity that the American heiress may be-
come queen of Portugal.
The extinct throne of the now re-
publican nation of Portugal is not the
only one whose possessions hinge di-
rectly on the outcome of the great
war.
Besides the obvious possibility that
the victorious side may unseat some
or all of their monarchical enemies.
the little nations of Europe have an
anxious eye on the war bulletins every
day, for their interests are directly af-
fected.
As to Serbia.
The Germans and Austrians have
not decided just what they will do
with Serbia should they be able to re-
tain their Balkan conquests. Two
things are certain. First, Austria will
keep a large section of the country
and Bulgaria another large slice. Sec
Ond, no member of the Karageorgevitch
family will be allowed TO reign, unless
the entente allies win. Probably one
of the host of prolific German prince
lings will get the seat.
, In Montenegro the situation Is clear.
King Nicholas and Crown Prince Da-
milo have taken up their residence in
France. If the allies win they will re-
turn to their rocky eyrie. If they lose,
Prince Mirko. the kings second son,
who is now in Austria and hand and
glove with his fathers enemies, will
he installed at Cettiuje.
In Greece, too, King Const&ntine's
tenure depends plainly on the great
battles now being fought in the East
and West. Greece could never have
gained or kept her independence from
turkey without the aid of Great Bri-
tain and France.
Constantine has a German wife; in

otie motives. the kings course of con-
duct has all along been marked by
hostility to the kaiser's enemies.

from voting and prevented Venizelos,
the popular idol, from taking the place
of power which his natural majority
of the electorate should give him. In
this way the Greek constitution was
defied by the king.
The entente powers could not stand
this long. They have forced Greece to
demObilize. With the soldiers voting,
Venizelos is almost certain to return
to power in the elections to be held
this summer He desires that Greece
assist the entente.
Then COnstantine's power will GER
tainly be reduced to constitutional
limits and there is fair prospect of his
being driven from the throne alto
gether and probably one of his sons
put in his place.
But should the hosts of Germany
prevail over their foes, all this will be
changed. 'Tino," as the kaiser affec-
tionately refers to his brother-in-law.

methods, which in his speeches he con-
stantly sets before his soldiers as a
model, upon all classes of his popula-
ton, and the Athens parliament will
become q debating society, like the
German reichstag.
Buffer Kingdom of Poland.
If the Germans win the war they are
determined to set up some sort of a
buffer kingdom Of Poland. This will
include the Polish and probably the
Lithuanian sections of the Russian en-
pire, but it Is improbable that Ger
many and Austria will carry self-ab-
negation so far as to add their own
shares in the three partitions of the
unhappy nation to the new state.
Many candidates for the Polish throne
have been suggested. Perhaps the new
king will be q Pole, but more likely a
German or Austrian of German blood.
If the allies win, Russia will frown
upon outside dictation of Polish af-
fairs in the peace conference. She will
certainly take as big a share of Po-
land as she ever had and is likely to
grab q little more. But economic re-
forms have been promised by Russian
leaders to the Poles and Russia, unless
the reactionaries again come into COM
plete control. is likely to grant them.

IAN attack by British seaplanes was

Island of Sylt. The seaplanes were
conveyed to their rendezvous close to
the German coast by an escorting

Three of the seaplanes which took
part in the attack are missing. The
destroyer Medusa was in collision
with the destroyer Laverock, and it
is feared that in the stormy weather
which prevailed the Medusa would
have been lost. But no misgivings
are felt as to the safety of the crew.

Of the leaders in either house of con-

that reached Gen. Funston. Gen.
Funston forwarded the report to
Washington without making public
any but the essential features.
Col. Dodd is commanding the ad-
vanced columns that are riding hard
after Villa and his men, and Gen.
Pershing has divided his forces so as
to provide supporting columns along
the thinly stretched lines Of commu-

ARMY INCREASE
MEASURE PASSED
HAY MEASURE PROVIDES FOR
10000 FIGHTING MEN, IN
STEAD or 100000.

Washington.-The Hay army In
crease bill, providing for regular
army peace strength of 100000 fight
ing men instead of the present 1OO,-
600, passed the House by a vote of
402 to two. 1t goes to the Senate
for immediate consideration virtual
ly as drafted by the House committee.
The negative votes were cast by
representatives Britten, Republican,
of Illinois, and London, Socialist, Of
New York. Mr. Britten opposed the
bill because he favored a still further
increase in the army and Mr. London
because he favored no increase.
The bill is the first of the great ma
tional preparedness measures urged
by President Wilson to pass either
House, although various related meas
ures have been approved. 1t was final
ly adopted only after Representative
Kahn, ranking Republican member of
the military committee, had again met
defeat, this time 213 to 191, in his ef-
fort to increase the authorized
strength of the regulars to 100000.
During the debate Chairman Hay
of the committee which drew the bill
referred to it as "the presidents own
bill" 1t was explained at the White
House, however, that while the presi-
dent approved the ground plan of the
measure, he was not committed to its
details. The conference on the Sen
ate and House plans, to come after
the Senate acts, is expected by the
administration officials to produce
bill which will have the presidents
full support.
