MOTHERS were UNABLE
TO IDENTIFY OFFSPRINGS
Babies Became Mixed Up When
Maternity Hospital in Paris
Was Hit BY Shell

Paris, April 12-[Correspondenc
of The Associated Press]-The Ger
man long distance shell which struck
a maternity hospital yesterday killing
mothers by the side of their infants
sent a shudder of horror through
Paris which, since the hecatomb of
Good Friday, thought il had become
impervious to such an emotion. 1t
also created confusion among the
surviving mothers, some of whom
have been unable to identify their
offspring among the babies that
escaped the shell of the assassin
The projectile exploded in a dormi-
tory containing twenty beds, killing
two mothers and one baby. wounding
many others and completely wrecking
the room. Through the cloud of
dust and dirt, nurses and attendants
rushed in and carried the wounded
and women who were ill to another
room, returning Immediately for the
infants. One baby had been thrown
cut of its cradle ten feet away but
was quite unhurt. The babies were
carried and deposited pell-mell on
beds in a room quickly prepared to
receive the patients so violently
elected by the German gun.
After some order had been re-
stored it was found that six mothers
were unable to decide which was
their own among six infants. They
had all been born on the same day
and in the hustle and hustle of re-
moving the infants from one room
to the other the identifying tags had
become detached.

MUST RUN ITS COURSE
View Taken BY One Who Spoke On
Non partisan League.

view dkSn by VIC WIN 0PoNS VII
partisan League.
The National Non-partisan league
yesterday was introduced into the
archives of the Mississippi Valley
Historical association at the organiza-
tons annual meeting. RI
The organization was ushered up
for inspection alongside relics that
have been handed down from one gen.
Grafton to another. The almost for
gotten grangers organization and the
farmers alliance which once grew and
flourished then withered and died in
Minnesota and the northwest.
The rapid rise of the Nonpartisan
league in the affairs of northwest poll
tic is neither strange nor original,
according to J. d. Hicks of Hamline
university, who, in addressing the OPP
ening session, said: "Once every so
often when times are hard, the
American farmer energies to a point
of class consciousness, sinks his ma
tive individualism in political COM
bination to secure redress of political
grievances, draw into his organiza-
tin discontinued city laborers and
derelict politicians, embarks upon a
program of reform, then suddenly be-
coming prosperous, finds himself too
busy making money to pay any at
tention to politics.
"The Nonpartisan league can hard
ly be considered strictly a hard times
affair, but in view Of what has gone
on before, one can be pardoned if,
for the time being, he remains skep-
teal as to it's permanency"

DIED OF AP0PLExY
No Inquest Held Over the Remains of
Frank TIFFANY

No tHquCSt T1SiO over tne remains OF
Frank Tiffany.
DIR. G. A. Dahl, coroner, who was
called to Amboy yesterday to investi-
gate the death of Frank Tiffany, an
account of which appeared in The
Free Press last night, stated today
that no inquest or postmortem exam
ination was held. The man had un-
doubtedly died from stroke of apop-
lexy which had come upon him while
he was in his apartment
In falling he had evidently struck
his head against the stove. The body
was in a badly decomposed state, and
the odor from the room was dreadful.
Rats had eaten away the left arm en-
tirely, and part of the face and head.
Mr. Tiffany was last seen on Friday,
May 8. On that day he was evidently
in his apartment.
The daughter of Mr.. Charles Thomp-
son, who was in her fathers office,
next to the room occupied by Tiffany,
heard a heavy fall in Tiffany's room
last Friday, and thought some heavy
books or piece of furniture had fallen,
but no investigation was made. 1t is
now thought that the fall she heard
was that of Mr.. Tiffany, as he was
overcome by apoplexy and fell to the
floor.
