WAR faint PLEA
ACQUITS MOTHER
FRENCH WOMAN KILLS CHILD OF
GERMAN SOLDIER AND
~ LIEERAMID.

Paris, Jan I5.--An impas-ioneI
discussion by the leading men and
women OF France OF the right OF the
female to choose the father Of her
children and to suppress the offspring
of the unloved male has followed the
acquittaI by q Paris fury of Joseph
inc Barthelemy on charge Of. ia
fanticide.
The girl. whe belonged to good
family in Chambley, Lorraine, aTeg-
ed that she was a victim OF rhe Ger
man invasion in the earlier days of
the war. She was allowed to return
to Paris via Switzerland, and, on
August 10 last. gave birth, to child
whom she Immediately killed, crying:
Its a Boche: / don't want it,"
The jury's verdict Of mot guilty"
was greeted with loud applause, but
the thinking sections OF the public
are far from approving the acquit-
tai.
Baron de Waleffe leads and voices
the contrary view. The child whose
life the Paris jury held 80 cheap was
not German" he contends Every
female instinctively feels that ths
child is much more hers titan, tile

Madame de witt-Schlumbsrger,

had no vestige of right to Kill her
child.

acquittal provokes no enthusiasm IN
