Kansas City, March 28.-Orders
were received here today by the Third
Missouri infantry modified here, plac-
ing them under continuous service and
assigning them to duty. Censorship
forbade disclosing what disposition
will be made of the force further than
the presidents proclamation that they
would be used for guard and police
duty.
The orders came from Major Gen
eral Thomas Barry, commander of the
central department. Leave that had
been granted some of the men was
Immediately cancelled. The regimental
strength was given today as approx
mately 1000 men. The strenuous re-
cruiting campaign that has been under
way was said to be increasing the reg
iment daily and near the armory

assiduously. Notice was received that
a large amount of new equipment for

TOO FAST FOR EN-
Germans Build U.B0ats Faster
Than Their Capture.
With Better Weather Blockade
More Serious to England.

London, March 2S.-In both houses
of parliament the U-boat menace and
the British blockade were discussed
with amazing frankneSs.
In the house of lords former f1rst
lord of the admiralty, Lord Beresford,
drew an extremely dark picture OF the
effects of unrestricted U-boat war
fare. He said thus far in March 2Z5
ships of more than 100000 tons had
been destroyed and with longer days
and better weather coming the toll
would necessarily be increased
He said the Germans were building
new U-boats faster than the British
werecapturing them. He warned the
lords that Germany seemed to nave
more men and more food than any
one in England had imagined. He
criticised the foreign office for what
he thought an unjustified control over
the British naval affairs
In February, Lord Beresford said,
2S1 vessels aggregating tonnage OF
more than 100000 were sunk
In the house of commons Sir Ed
atty, called Lord Beresford's criticism
absurd He said the present policy
of the foreign Office was exactly what
it should be and as it could only be IN
the circumstances.
Sir Edward added that If the navy,
following Lord Bereford's suggestion,
seized every neutral ship and its
cargo, thus effecting Lord Beresford' s
idea of a blockade, Great Britain
would be at war with everybody" He
said England could not afford to adopt
more stringent measures toward
friendly neutrals.

New York. March 2S.-Discovery of
a motorboat containing forty pounds
of dynamite and sixteen decorating
caps within a half mile of Fort Tot
ten and not far from a United States
destroyer on New York duty led to
the detention by the police today of a
man who said he was Mathew john
son of Perth Amboy, n. ].
johnson said he was a wrecker who
had come from Perth Amboy to blow
up a wreck and had put in for shelter
at the basin near the fort because of
rain and darkness. The police author
tiles asserted he produced no license
as a wrecker or to transport dynamite.

RICHES TO POVERTY
Mother Love Breaks Thru Barrier of
Wealth and Receivers Boy.

New York, March 2s.-Fate spun
the wheel today for a little 5-year-
old New York boy and changed him
from George Shire, a rich mans son.
to George Petconk. a poor immigrant
woman's child. Georges foster par
ents love him as their own; but be-
cause they respect the mother love
which led the little immigrant woman
to search for him for three years, they
gave him up. And today George is
going home" to an humble hearth
far up in the Bronx. He thinks he's
just going for a visit.
Mr.. and Mrs. George D. Shire, who
are wealthy and live in a luxuriously
appointed apartment near Columbus
Circle, feel that lit is better to give
him up than to have the milestone of
an unwilling family hanging about
their necks.'
Took His Toys With Him.
Mrs. Helen Petconk, the little
woman who works by the day, and
who took George. under a false name
and address to the Sisters of Charity
when starvation stared her in the face
four years ago, is happy.
At first the Shires were going to
fight for possession of the boy, but
when Mrs. Shire saw the look in the
face of the little mother in court, she
told her husband they couldn't keep
George. So the Shires sent him
home today with all his toys and
his hobby horse and his drum

setting 2,765 eggs
The Incubator is heated by a stove
IN the center. 1t burns wood charcoal,
and VIII maintain a uniform tempera-
ture for rs hours without replenish-
ing. The stove is called a Magazine
Wood Burner" 1t is four feet high
and two feet square.
Uniform temperature is maintained
in the room by two drafts, one at the
top 10 allow the escape of hot air, and
one at the bottom to admit cold air.
These drafts are opened and closed
by automatic expanding metal plates.
When the temperature rises to 10S
degrees the drafts automatically open
to allow the cooling of the room.
When it falls to 100 they close again.
According to Coleman, the idea of
building an incubator in tie form of
a room is entirely new. The usual
machine holds not above 400 eggs.
There is no limit to the capacity of
one built on Colemans plan.
The testing now in progress has SO
far indicated that the machine is

stove will be put on the market next
