HippO's Ma and
Pa DisOwn Him.:
Zoo Scandalized
Young Trotzky Proves So
Bad Tempered That Even
Neighbor Goat Refuses
to Serve as Meal Ticket

New York's most belligerent baby
this morning will take its Christmas
dinner from bottle, because it has
succeeded in incurring the undying en-
nifty of its mother.
Likewise, it has lost the friendship
of foster mother. the most powerful
friend of the family and all the neigh
bors. Its father turned up its nose at
the infant as soon as it appeared Tues
day, so no effort on the part of the
baby was required to win a paternal
enemy.
Trotzky is the name of the preco-
cious "Bolshevst," so named because
of its dissatisfaction with everything
in the world but itself. It's present ad-
dress is the south chamber, elephant
house, New York Geological Park The
address is not given with the intention
of summoning visitors to the home of
the baby pygmy hippopotamus, how
ever, SINCE the youngster Mas developed
q most disagreeable temper, and doubt
less would find some means of offend
ing the most friendly well-wisher.
Ma Disowns Trotzky
The scandal in the family which re-
suited in the introduction of a bottle
into the zoo was discovered early yes
terday. Little Trotzky, the six and
e-half pound baby hippo, was carried
tc its mother for Its breakfast at T
o'clock. 1t was the first opportunity
either mother or child had had to view
each other.
Both mother and child took one long,
interested look, then uttered a snarl
of surprise and anger that was inter
preted to mean:
What! is that my child ?"
What! is that my mother?"
Then each lifted forefoot and en-
deavored to kick the other. DR. Will
lam T. Hornaday, keeper of the zoo,
was too ashamed of such conduct for
words. DR.. W. Reed Blair, expert
veterinarian for the animal village,
rushed the child away before neigh

French Textile Mills Hum
Again on Looted Sites
hapid Strides Made i'm Industrial Reconstruction
Despite German Efforts to Blast Trade by De-
struction of Buildings and Thefts of Machinery

LILLE, France, Dec. 24.--Forty thou
sand persons are at work in the French
textile mills which only few months
ago were razed or looted by the Ger
mans Of their wonderfully delicate ma
chlnery. To the correspondent Of The
Associated Press was given the facts
with reference to this industry day
by French authorities, who arranged
trip to show him the strides made by
the nation in reconstruction.
Within year, government officials
and manufacturers agree, production of
textiles will reach half of the pre- war
total, and within two years, these men
forecast, the 1914 output will be sur
passed.
The wool industry is said to be re-
covering most rapidly. with cotton in
second place. Linen weaving is re-
ported to be slowest in getting back
to normal because Of the shortage of
fax. formerly obtained from Russia.
In Lille and adjoining cities Of
Roubaix and Turcoing, where the tex
tile manufactures are centered. it is
estimated 10000 men, women and chill
dren are now busted with combing,
spinning and weaving, and approx
matcly 10000 are employed in the
smaller mills of surrounding towns
where progress is slower but is being
pushed with equal vigor.
Statistics compiled by the govern
ment from necessarily accurate state
ments, upon which factories are paid
reconstruction indemnities, show that
in the Lille district on October l last
there were 36,384 persons working in
1862 textile plants, compared with 106,-
066 employed before the war in 265
factories. In all Of the 491 textile mills
of the liberated regions there were
employed in August of this year only
2l,O27 of the 152,948 persons at work
four years ago.
Reconstruction of the textile IN
dustry was declared by manufacturers

was the last time mother or child had
an opportunity to show an interest in
one another
Even the Goat Rebels
A foster mother soon was found and
little Trotzky was offered a breakfast
of goats milk. He had consumed just
enough to find out what was being
offered him when he set his teeth into
the vitals of his foster mother so Wig
orously that that individual refused to
be anybody's goat for another minute,
and made off.
Another effort was made to feed the
baby hippo goats milk later in the
day, but it was too belligerent to take
the offered nourishment.
That is why Dr. Hornaday. lifelong
friend Of Antony and Cleopatra, parents
Of the child, does not speak to them
about its welfare any more. That is
why the parents were happily prepar-
ing for their Christmas celebration to-
day--that is, an extra fine bath in tepid
water Of the temperature that might
be found in a Central African brook
with no regard for their offspring.
And that is why other citizens of the
animal village are having nothing to
do with any member Of. the hippo
family.
Instances have been known where
elephant mothers have refused to nurse
their offspring born in captivity and
the youngsters have died, apparently
with no regret on the part of the
mother. Officials at the Zoo fear a
like fate may be in store for young
