FRENCH ORPHAN
Again WANDERS
Eugene Cantot, Made Par
entless by War. May
be Deported
DESERTS RED CROSS,
FOUND IN PhlLA.

The restlessness instllled into the soul
OF Eugene Cantot. the French orphan
boy recently sheltered by Wilmington
friends. has driven him from this city,
lust as a few weeks ago Il drove him
from Philadelphia. IIo vanished from
Wilmington on Tuesday, and word was
received yesterday from the Philadel-
phla Red Cross that he had been found
in that city.
The boy. said to be one OF the young
est in the French Army. has been so
stirred and upset by four years OF a
wandering life In war-torn France. that
any routine life, becomes inlolerable
to him after a brief time.
Eugene was picked up, tried and be-
draggled, walking citywards on Concord
pike a few weeks ago. The Red Cross
chapter OF this city befriended the lad
and communicating with the French
counsul In Philadelphia, found the
story he told was true. lie had lost
his entire family In northern France
in the war his father and brother he
ing killed in battle, and his mother and
baby sister falling victims 10 German
bombs. He himself had been IN the
trenches at the battle Of the.AIarne.
Eugene had come TO America as a
stOwawsy, IN transport carrying
American soldiers. He had been placed
in an orphan Institution, a farm near
Philadelphia. He left the farm TO come
10 Wilmington. The boy was lovable
and well-educated. making friends
everywhere ne went Local people took
a great interest IN him. and success
fully pleaded with the French authori-
ties not 10 deport him. lie was especl-
ally under the protection OF the Red
Cross and Mrs. William c. Speakman.
Tuesday Eugene went away. His
friends IN this city got into touch at
once with the Philadelphia Red Cross.
| Yesterday word came from phlladel-
/ phia that the boy was under care OF
the Red Cross there. II seems he went
10 Philadelphia from Wilmington by
boat. He represented himself 10 be a
Belgian orphan and collected quite a
i sum Of money from sympathlzing peo-
pie 20 whom he talked
The boy Will be turned over 10 the
immigration authorities at Gloucester,
n. J. As he Is not OF age. he will prob
ably be sent back TO France, the local
people interested In his case feeling
that they cannot solve the problem OF
Eugene's future. The case Is one Of
the most pathetic with which the local
Red Cross has had TO deal, and one OF
the most puzzllng. Although the boys
actions have been blameworthy, II Is
felt a great deal Of allowance must be
made for a young boy who has lived
through such experiences as he hai
undergone.

WILSON Fighting
MAN IN Support
OF PACT, TREATY
Continued from First Page.

Wilson is keenly anxious Tor MS
words to be placed.
Wilson holds that Britain has but one
vote in the league council and that its
votes in the league assembly could not
be cast in any dispute in which the
empire or any part OF 1t was
involved. The high cost Of liv-
ing and its relation to ratification
u the treaty will be brought out by
the President shortly. At the first IA
yorable opportunity, it is believed he
intends to make an attempt TO put op-
ponents OF the treaty in the position
Of who are keeping up prices, on the
theory that prices cannot be restored
10 peace levels until real peace is re-
stored by ratification.
Wilson's advisers say he has no inten-
tiOn OF engaging in a debate with Sem
ate anti-leaguers on this trip. He does
not believe that such a debate would
bring out what he wants TO develop
with regard 10 the treaty and the rea-
sons why he thinks It should be ac-
cepted and he would have TO de-
vote time to answering. senator's
which he would rather devote TO eX-
planning cloudy clauses in the covenant.
The President addressed the Chamber
OF Commerce at a noon luncheon and
will speak in the auditorium tonight.
