Resisted the Bond SaIesmen's Plea, But
Yielded to the Boy Scouts Appeal
on Behalf Of Their Country.
ment Of $4,000 other adult scout ON
Gals, was doubtless the most extensive
campaign for the Liberty loan conduct
ed by any single organization.
For the first time in the history of
the Boy Scout movement the president
Of the United States personally called
upon the Boy Scouts of America to Co
operate with the national government.
Each scout was given twenty-five or
fifty circulars, with definite instruc-
tons to place each circular personally
in the hands Of q member of a house
hold.
In Philadelphia 13 boys the first day
secured $50, 700 worth of subscriptions,
and in three days over $15O,OOO.
The first Liberty loan bond sub
scribed for by a troop Of scouts, so far
as has been reported, is the property
Of Troop go Of Manhattan. The troop IL
located at the West End Presbyterian
church.
The campaign met with hearty re-
Spouse in the Pacific coast states. The
scout movement, so thoroughly organ
lied in the East and middle West, has
gained strongly on the other side of the
Rockies only in the last two years, fol-
lowing the establishment of national
field scout commissioner in that dis
trict.
The casualty lists from the battle
fields Of Europe will soon contain the
names Of American soldiers. How
many there will be among the killed,
wounded and missing depends upon
the duration Of the war. If the Boy
Scouts can shorten the war even by
one day they will save hundreds, per-
haps thousands of lives.
The successful sale Of Liberty bonds
means a great moral victory which
will inspire the men behind the guns
and equally demoralize our enemies.

tiful little blue-eyed, golden haired
girl of three, caress another woman
whom she called mother, while she
looked upon her natural mother as a
stranger.
Signs Strange Paper.
When the baby came Hanna did not
know what to do with her. She was
easily persuaded to leave her in a
home" She was asked to sign a pa
per, her attorney told Judge Nuessle
She could not read and write, and
when she asked that the contents be
read to her she was advised that 1t
was a mere formality. That was an
assignment of all her interests in the
child tot the Minneapolis home in
which it was placed.
Wilton People Take Child.
A few months later substantial
farmer folk of Wilton, N. D., found i'm
Hanna's rolypoly little baby the light
which had been denied their home. In
their haste to procure the youngster
for their very own, they overlooked
some of the legal technicahties red
uisite to formal adoption.

Fortune smiled on Hanna Beckwold
She went to night school and learned
to read and write her adopted tongue.
Her earnings increased, and with bet
ter circumstances came a yearning
for the little one whom she had clasp
ed to her breast for such a brief time
when she went to the home she found
the babe gone. Her lawyer traced the
little one to its foster parents in Will
ton. Then he applied in the Burleigh
county district court for a writ of
habeas corpus to recover the child.
Seeks Glimpse of Babe.
The case came up for hearing yes
terday, with both mothers in court.
The foster mother sat with the little
one who was the central figure in the
drama, clasped tightly in her arms, as
she rocked to and fro, fraught with
emotion. In another part of the court
room sat the child's mother, straining
her eyes for a glimpse of the beautiful
bit of childhood whom she had borne
And surrounding each litigant was a
party of sympathetic friends.
Because of certain features of the
case, it is probable the supreme court
will be asked to assume original jur-
isdiction or to name referee. For
this reason Judge Nuessle yesterday
continued the case until the attorney
for Hanna Beckwold can determine
his course.
