planned at having to live in plain wood
en barracks, ara now promised an ex-
perience after which they probably will
be glad to seek the shelter of the big
wooden buildings.
They are TO live in dugouts and
trenches in the field for several days
at time, following as closely as may
be practical and advisable, the life and
training of the soldier at the front.
That is the plan announced with
the return of Lieut. Ralph NJ. Stevens
from the school OF arms at Fort Sill,
Okla, where he spent the last five
weeks in the field Notifications branch
of that instruction center.
A trench system 500 or 100 yards

with all the accessories of barb wire
entanglements, hidden. machine gun
.emplacements, dugouts for the men and
officers,s communication trenches, ana

COURTS OF TWO STATES IN.
voLvED IN SUITS FOR Gus
toby OF CHILD.
IOWA COURT HAS LAST
SAY AND FATHER LOSES
Losing Custody of Boy in Missouri
Mother Brings Child to Iowa, Gains
Legal Residence and Appeals to
Court For Decree Allowing Her to
Keep Boy-lad 9 Years Old.

Muscatine. Oct. PA mothers love,
backed by the decision of the court,
has won in the battle for her child.
Mrs. Hopkins Cook was granted the
custody Of her little. son, Chester
Major Hopkins, aged 9 years, for
whose possession the parents have
been battling in the courts for about
a year. The elements of novel are
woven into the case. p
The couple were divorced in 1916,
an action being brought in the Mis-
souri, circuit court by Major Hopkins.
Under the ruling Of the Missouri
courts he was given the custody OF the
child Shortly after the Missouri de-
cree, Mrs. Hopkins, who has since
adopted her maiden name OF Cook, Sc
cured a decree In the Iowa courts and
was granted the custody Of the child.
In order, 1t was alleged at the re-
cent trial, to prevent the mother from
getting possession of the boy, the child
was spirited to New York state and
placed in the care Of his grandpa
rents Mrs. Hopkins instituted habeas
corpus proceedings in Missouri and
the child was brought back under tel
egraphic instructions Of the father.
The little fellow made the entire dis
lance alone, being ticketed and tagged
and placed under the care of the con-
ductors Of the trains who saw that the
child was properly transferred at chi
cago.
At the Missouri hearing decision
was reached by which the mother was
10 have the Child during vacations. The
father was to have the boy for the rest
of the year.
Too Much For Mother.
Mother love could not stand a
separation of this kind. When the
vacation period came, the mother
had taken up her residence in Iowa
and brought the child with her. The
father after futile efforts to get the
little fellow, started habeas corpus
proceedings in district court OF Mus
catine county. The case after sew
eral postponements was heard several
weeks ago and then abruptly sub
mitted &c the court. Judge A. J.
House, presiding.
During the entire trial the child was
held in the mothers lap. Much OF tho
time he had his arms around his moth
er's neck and she frequently bent and
kissed him. There was no mistaking
the strong affection existing between
mother and son. A large number of
witnesses were called. One line OF
questions, by the attorney for the
mother were directed with the evident
purpose Of showing the physical care
which the boy had received while he
was with relatives in Missouri.
The court, in its ruling, gives the
mother the custody of the child. The
boy is a beautiful little fellow with
bright, intelligent features.
