such a shape that easy rebuilding

Foundations in many cases have re-

the report states, will be found ex-

The report also gives attention to

expressed that Germany will restrict
importations at first to essential

PARIS, Jan. 25.-Josephine Barthel
emy, 20 years old, killed her baby
Today she stood acquitted of tha
crime by a jury OF FTenchmen-and
applauded by her compatriots.
The reason was that Josephine s
baby had a German father.
"That is why l killed it." she told
the jury.
Her story was one of many which
have been heard in France-of girls
attacked by German soldiers and OF
unwelcome babies. josephine Bar
thelemy's lawyer appealed to the jury
which tried her for infanticide. with
the plea-"Would you condemn this
girl for sitting the life OF a child OF
one of those who killed France 3
sons and Violated Frances daugh-
ters ?"
1t was recalled today in connection
with Josephine's vindication that tho
French government has re-establish-
ed the cradle OF shadows which
before separation of church and state
in France in 1902. was feature OF
every convent. This was cradle
placed just outside the convent with a
bell attached. Mothers might leave
their children there, ring the bell and
disappear, certain that the nuns
would rescue the child and bring it
up. 1t is the government, now,
however, that guarantees the support
of the child, and the cradle Is placed
near~t the town hall.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Jan. 2s.-
American trade leads the world to-
day because the United States Is the
leading neutral nation and the most
productive; it's future, particularly aft
er the war will be contingent upon
the ability of American business to
develop its immediate opportunities
along the broader and more generous
lines. That was the broad hint Civ

by Willard Straight, of New YORK, vice
president of the American 1nternation'
al corporation, and emphasized by
other speakers at the opening session
of the fourth annual convention OF
that body at the William Penn hotel
today In his address on the for
eign trade aspect of the tariff" the
keynoter said:
some Of us in this country have here
tofore been disposed to ignore-that
international trade, like domestic
trade, is essentially an exchange OF
commodities. We cannot hope that
we shall continue to sell some s3,000.-

LONDON, Jan. 25. - President

This was the phrase from Chancel

speech Of last night that was re-

with Bonar Laws reminder to the
United States that America has q

"This whole subject is not an alb
