Little Black Bear Causes

Molly OF the Zoo Starting Out to Make Acquaintance of
New York, Attracts Much Attention From HOLIDAY
Throngs; Keeper Dies in Chase

There was no more thankful little
bear than Molly in all Manhattan last
night as she slept the sleep of the we'll
intentioned but misunderstood in her
cage in the Central Park ZOO. a
friendly little beast Molly had been
considered ever since the 22d Infantry
sent her to the park from Governors
Molly gave a demonstration yesterday
nobody who had seen her dreamed what
rumpus seventy-tive pounds of bear
could make in q big place like Central
Park
For Molly got out and started to
make friends with New York and be-
fore several thousand persons sue
ceeded in getting her back in her cage
Louis Seeboldt, her keeper, had
dropped dead from excitement, Patrol
man John E. Copeland and Michael
Griffin, soldier, had been bitten and

Captain Edward Bourke of the Arsenal
police station had been completely

finding that she could lift the latch
of her cage door with her nose. she
acted upon the inspiration forthwith
and went strolling forth with the in
dependent gait. characteristic Of bears.
Molly's First Acquaintance
Just south of the zoo a furnished
room couple. with no better place to
spend Thanksgiving, was sitting on q
bench in generous fashion which left
by far the greater part of the seat
unoccupied. The entranced pair was
utterly oblivious when the bench
sagged to sudden additional weight
and the young woman looked up,
startled only when she felt some thing
fumbling at her handbag which lay
open in her lap.
1t was <Molly's inquisitive little
snout and Molly's twinkling beady
eyes met the Mortified gaze which the

shrek the young woman rose and
departed.
Keeper Seeboldt came rushing after
her, shouting incoherent commands,
crowd of several hundred had gathered
and automobiles had stopped to see
what was going on. Molly mendcd her
pace, making for a conveniently situ-
ated tree. Just before reaching the
Tree Secbolt fell fiat. He failed to get
up again and Patrolman Copeland went
over to him. He was dead.
Copeland, assisted by Private Griffin
and with the moral support of crowd
estimated at 5000, went after Molly,
snugly ensconced in the tree of her
choice. They poked her with sticks
until she clambered down again and
then Copeland tried to seize her collar.
Molly, her amiability completely van
1shed, sunk her teeth in the patrolman's
leg. Griffin, on the other side, snatched
at her collar and Molly's teeth took
the end off his thumb.

ex-sailor, poet of renown, but utterly
inexperienced as bear hunter, came
as fast as his horse could bring him.

Walters and Cooks
Win Their Strike
At End of Parade
AT Finish Line They Are
Told Demands Have
Been Agreed To
By BRIGGS

The parade of striking walters ant
cooks, held Yesterday had been planned
as demonstration of strength but il
ended as victory pageant. When the
four thousand marchers reached the
Amsterdam Opera House, in West For
tyfourth Street, after long tramp
through Broadway, Thirty-third Street,
Park Avenue and Forty-fourth Street,
they we're informed that the Society
of Restaurateurs had agreed to the
committee of hotel workers at Reisen-
weber's Circle Restaurant Monday af-
ternoon to sign the agreement for
higher wages. Luchows, in Fourteenth
Street, it was announced, had already
granted the increase
The parade, which was almost en-
tirely surrounded by policemen. was an
orderly affair. 1t was composed of
walters and cooks from nine hotels
and restaurants who have been on
strike for several weeks. A band
headed the line, playing patriotic airs,
and the only flags displayed were the
Stars and Stripes and Allied embIems.
The police found little to do. Pa
trolmen has been stationed at the vari-
Gus entrances to hotels and restaurants
along the line of march, as a precau-
tionary measure. An occasional hiss
could be heard from the marching men
as they spied the face of strike
breaker peering from hotel window.
put there was no attempt to make a
disturbance. A squad of the military
provost guard with motor patrol, was
stationed at Times Square, but, aside
from salutlng the colors as the parade
passed, they had nc duties to perform.
In the face of the peace overtures
from the restaurant men, the union
ofhclals held up the general strike
call in the hotels also, saying thev felt
confident a favorable underestimate
soon would be reached. The hotels

Help me, O God, to keep before my eyes
The larger visions of this war: to be
Inspired each day by noble thoughts that
rise
OF duty, honor, country and of Thee.
Help nue. to think of war as one vast

Of human effort struggling toward the
right,
Ever advancing nearer to the goal
OF freedom, from the iron rule Of might
Lest / forget and in my sorrow see
Only the face of him who goes from me-
Let me remember on that fateful day
When women send their men across
tho sea,
That with brave smiles and trembling
God bless and bring you safely back
to me-"

pray,
Lest / forget to be as brave as they,
Any peace under present conditions

YOUR BOY AND MY BOY

Your boy and my boy
Have heard their country's call
And said farewell to native dell
To friends and loved ones all;
On land, or sea, for you and me
Like heroes they will fight;
Bid them good cheer, they do not fear
To die for human right.
Your boy and nay boy
And how they marched away
From your home and my home
Upon a crucial day;
Young hearts and strong hearts,
The noble brave and true
Beneather a khaki uniform,
Or loyal navy blue.
Your boy and my boy
Upon the briny deep,
Or on the foreign battle front,
A courage bold shall keep;
Steady and ready
To meet the common foe
And bring a peace which shan not cease
Till tides shall cease to flow.
Your boy and my boy.
And may they come again
To your home and my home
Each one an honored man;
God speed the hour, when clouds that
lower
Shall let the sunshine through
And each brave boy with pride and joy
Returns to me and you.
Your boy and my boy
May be among the slain
Who in this fight must die for right
But shall not die in vain:
That gallant host, true to each post
Will bring the tyrant down
And Liberty, on land and sea,
Shall wear the victor's crown.
