Woman Gave Mrs. Norma Baum
Child While Seeking Work"

Baby Royse,< 16 months, cried to-
day at the detention home, 4Os Har-
rison street, for her father and
mother, both missing.
Two months ago. according to a di-
vorce proceeding in the district
court, Ralph Royse attempted to for
chilly take the baby from the mother
Today, Kate and Kilmaurs King, hu-
name officers, are searching for the
father and mother.
Baby Royse introduced herself to
Topeka officially Thanksgiving night
when Mrs. Norma Baum, sos Harrison
street, called at police headquarters
with the bundle of innocent childish
femininity in her arms. The baby she
stated, had been placed at her home
a week ago by the mother who stated
that she was going up on Kansas ave-
nue. to search for work
Since that time not word was re-
ceived from the mother, Mrs. Baum
stated There was no money or no
directions left with her by the mother
as she left seeking work that would
provide food and shelter for herself
and baby. Mrs. Baum stated that she
could not afford to keep the child any
longer.
Child at Detention Homo.
The police turned the child over to
the Kings. They, in turn, today began
searching Tor the 1ather OF mother and
placed the baby, who has been given
a Christian name, in the detention
home.
In the office of Mrs. Mary E. Chap
in. clerk of the district court, it was
learned that Lena Royse. ZIG Harrison
street filed a petition for divorce from
Ralph Royse a month ago. The mother
charged various acts of cruelty against
the husband, among them being an al
legged attempt by him to forcibly take
the baby from her.
The petition stated that Royse
earned 5000 a month as an engineer
for the Beatrice Creamery company.
At the offices of the company today
it was stated that Royse was no longer
on the payroll.

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

CHICAGO, June 2S.-Corn traders

holdings in the July delivery and
gave only passing notice to the sign
ing Of the peace treaty. After ruling
weak most of the time values closed
unsettled, y net lower to Is ad-
vance, with September 1.75as to 1.75&
and December 1.53M to 1894. Oats
lost q shade to Aah. In provisions
the outcome varied from s. decline to
an equal gain.
Virtual Indifference with which the
signing of the treaty was regarded
as a price-making factor merely
demonstrated that the news of the
signing had been discounted in full
long beforehand so far as the event
could affect the value of corn. On
the other hand, the necessity OF 1iqui-
dating July holdings was an urgent
matter for unlicensed dealers. Be-
sides, the market was weighed down
by the fact that considerable grain
was arriving out Of condition. Toward
the last, however, rallies took place
as a result Of covering by shorts who
desired freedom from risks over Sum-
day.
Improved crop reports tended to
weaken the oats market Dealings
though. were listless.
Provisions held about steady. Higher
quotations on hogs helped to sustain

.,e was disappointed but from tender
clinging memories of the past. To him
1t was still the dearest spot ON earth.
There were the Old apple trees, the
broad spreading porch, the vine-cov-
cred wing, the fruit bushes, the fa-
miliar hollyhocks and roses. A young
girl was busy at some pea vines in the
garden. In an instant Ware recognized
the child friend Of his boyhood, grown
into q woman.
"You don't remember me, Teresa?"
he spoke, advancing.
She regarded him with clear, earnest
eyes. Her face broke into n sweet, well
coming smile. Eyes, you are Burton
Ware" she said. Her color frightened.
He thrilled ut the warm, sincere clasp
Of her little brown hand. Just then
Mr.. Clyde came into view from the
street. Ware was invited into the
house and he made his business clear.
Twice he visited the old house while
the necessary papers of transfer were
being prepared. The attraction toward
Its lovely mistress was emphasized.
When he paid off Clyde the latter left
the lawyers Office with him.
Il shall go West to a married broth
er where can live cheap" said Clyde.
"And Teresa?" intimated Ware.
"Oh, I settled that with her this
morning. She's satisfied with one hun
dred dollars and the old furniture for
what 1t will bring"
WHAT" cried Ware with rising in
dignation, latter all her faithful serv-
Ices you're not going to turn her
adriftw
"Why, she's no kin of mine," coolly
retorted Clyde.
Ware left him, reused up to q sense
OF the mean selfshness that stirred
him to the depths. He went at once
to the old home. Within Teresa was
.conversing with me aged clergyman
whose services she regularly attended.
She was saying:
II have always felt n certain duty
toward Mr.. Clyde, because Of my aunt.
Then again, the place here has become
very dear to me-
You have done your full duty, my
child. We will find some way of car
Ing for YOU" spoke the clergyman.

The terms Of peace, as I pointed
out the other day. even though they
be now accepted by Germany, do not
settle anything, but merely provide
a method Of settlement stretched
over 8 years at least, during which
time Germany can only be expected
to perform them if she finds herself
steadily unable to resist. The terms
just as they are, are nevertheless so
conditioned upon the German con-
duct of war and German crimes
against civilization that at NO time
during the period Of German perfor-
nance can there be the smallest pos
slbillty Of voluntary acceptance Of
free will submission on the part of
the Germans to the sentence of the
conference of Paris, which is in it
self all that yet exists of the League
Of Nations. We shall then have for
a period Of % years at least, the pres
ervation of some portion of the state
of war against Germany which ex-
listed after August, 1914. For these
years, Germany will see much of her
territory occupied. She will be COM
PEELED not only to pay large sums of
money, but she will be subject to
many restraints totally different
from conditions preceding the war
1t would be inaccurate to regard
Germany during the period fixed for
the performance of the terms of
peace as anything more than a con-
quered enemy, fulfilling the terms Of
the treaty of peace, if only because
not to perform them would bring
down upon her at once military and
naval as we'll as economic pressure.
During Is years, then there can be
no question of German acceptance of
the dcision made by the conference
of Paris, or any trustworthy entrance
of Germany into the League of Ma
tons, which is at one time an organi-
cation for international peace and
the association Of her victors for APP
plication Of the terms of the Treaty
of Versailles.
Now the precise purpose of the as
ISOLATION between Great Britain and
France is manifest. Mr.. Wilson,
representing his country, has come
to France. He has been the most con-
