Gustav Buchholtz, proprietor Of the

German-American citizen Of this city,

Facing the many rumors afioat

faithfulness Of German-Americans at
this TIME, now that war seems pend
ing, wish to make a few statements

naturally my sympathies were with
the land of my birth. but now that
this country seems to be on the verge
OF war. 1 want it plainly understood
that my sympathies are with the land
of my adoption and that my one sense
of duty is to America and my oath of
loyalty knows of no conditions and no
reservations.

GETS CHILDBACK
AFTER EIGHT YEARS
Mother, Once Victim Of Poverty,
Is Made Happy BY
Court.

Eight long years of patient wait
ing and fighting for the recovery of
her little daughter, from whom she
was separated through poverty when
the child was but three months old,
came to an end for Mrs. Edith Gray
Reid today, when Chief Justice Cow
ington, of the District Supreme Court,
signed an order of habeas corpus re-
storing the little one to her mothers
custody.
Although almost driven frantic by
the obstacles placed in her way by
the law, Mrs. Reid never lost hope
that some day her child would be re-
turned to her. The little girl, Dor
othy Irene Gray, has never forgotten
her mother, because the latter's per-
sistence and maternal love kept her
ever uppermost in the child's affec-
ton.
When the child was but three
months old the wolf Of poverty
knocked at the door of her mothers
home and drove the parent to appeal
to the Juvenile Court for a home for
the little one. The child was commit
ted to the Washington Home for
Foundlfngs. For six years the mother
constantly visited the little girl, al
ways anxious that she be kept in
mind by the child. Circumstances up
to that time did not enable her to
take the little girl out OF the institu-
tion. Then came another cloud for
the mother. Early in 1915 the little one
was apprenticed to a Mr.. and Mrs.
Rock. of Covington, Va Mrs. Reid
says that without notice to her, her
little daughters new friends obtained
a court order providing for their
adoption of the child. This action of
the Virginia court in the mothers
eyes, practically made an almost in
surmountable barrier to her reunion
with her child.
For more than two years abe waited
for developments. Recently Mr.. and
Mrs. Rock came to Washington to hive.
Immediately on learning this, the
mother. through her attorney, d. Ed
ward Clarke, instituted the habeas cor
pus proceedings in the District Supreme
Court which resulted in the reunion Of
the little girl and her mother.
Chief Justice Covington ruled that the
commitment by the Juvenile Court and
the subsequent Virginia adoption were
void.
