from some bushes, baby girl, aRcd
one month, was found by Samuel Nc
Carty in the r--- ~ his home, 1 mile

Md. Wednesday morning. On note
pinned to the clothes of the child were
these woris: Lady, please take care
of nv baby. God will bless you. Her
name is Frances Virginia and she was
born on September 49,"
The note also stated that the baby
and mother were pushed out OF an
automobile by the husband and father
near the scene Of abandonment and that
he went on to Detroit.
The finding of the child, as told by
Mr.. McCarty, occurred between the
hours of S and 6, when a brother OF
his called at the house. The brother
stated to Mr.. McCarty that ne heard a
CIV in the bushes like that OF baby or
an animal in distress.Both went to in
yestieate with a gun, and on parting
the brush discovered the basket con-
tanning the baby swinging from the
branches. The baby was well dressed

of the McCarty home, who is willing to

Elevator and Store Destroyed.

The grain elevator and store OF
Jacob Middlekauff on the Norfolk &
Western Railway at Spielman's Sta

The fire at Spielman's, coming only
few days after the fire that destroy

that there is an organized effort on the
part of the Bolshevists or !. W. WIS
to destroy this sort of property. II
looks as if a thorough investigation
ought to be made.

A Reminder of the War.

Yesterday while the workmen were
engaged in tearing down the old cement
mill along the river, east OF town, they
found in the wall facing the river
ten-pound shell that had buried itself
in the heavy wall but had not gone
through. This is undoubtedly re,
minder of the battle at the cement mill
in September, 1862. The shell was
probably fired from Union cannon on
the Maryland hills across the river at
the time the Corn Exchange Regiment
was so badly mauled by General Hilrs
command. The shell had exploded in
the wall and pulverized some of the
bricks, but had done but little damage.
The National Highway Garage has the
relic at its Office on Main street.

and fruit grower of the Shenan-
doah Junction vicinity, met with
serious accident last Monday
morning. He was picking apples in
his orchard and was on the very top

he was unable to move, but was car
ried to the house and physicians were
summoned. DR.. Johnson, OF Duffields,
and DR.. Burwell, of ShepherdstoWn,

ing the nature Of his injuries.

Up to this time County Clerk Chas.
A. Johnson has issued only about SOO
licenses to hunters in Jefferson coun-
w. This is nothing like as many as
he usually issues-the reason is the
license costs dollar this year, instead
of being free, as heretofore. The law
regulating hunting is stringent now.
Those who hunt without license are
liable to a heavy fine, and the inform
ant gets a portion of the fine. We are
informed that there is good deal OF
hunting this fall already-in some
cases without license-and land-own-

VIGOROUS PROTEST
is SENT CARRANZA
Lansing Picks Flaws in the Ex-
cuses for Not Freeing Jenkins
is Not An Ultimatum-Wil-
full Indifference Charged.

Washington, Dec. L. Following
publication of the American rejoinder
to Carranza renewing "the request"
for the release of Consular Agent Jen-
kins, Chairman Porter of the House
committee on foreign affairs discussed
the Mexican crisis with Secretary of
State Lansing.
II believe that Mr.. Lansing is pur-
suing the right course" said Mr.. Por-
ter, who is a Republican, upon emerg-
ing from the conference. However, !
do not entertain great hope that any
thing short of the most forceful meas
ures will bring about the safety of
Americans in Mexico, respect for the
United States and satisfaction of our
demands and grievances. / fear that
ultimately the United States will be
compelled to intervene with armed
force to end the intolerable situation
and accomplish the salvation of Mex
ico."
Despite the severe criticism of Car
ranza's persecution of Jenkins and
tolerance of his abductors in which
the secretary of state INDUCES in this
answer to the defiant Mexican's re-
fusal to release the consular agent,
the note is neither an ultimatum nor
peremptory demand. 1t is an ex-
tended argument, picking flaws in
Carranza's excuses for not iberating
jenkins.
at appears to have been the pur
pose of the Mexican government, !"
concludes the note, ito assume a will
full indifference to the feelings of the
American people that have been
aroused to the point of Indignation by
the exposure, hardships and physical
suffering endured by Jenkins during
his abdication and his subsequent
treatment at the hands of Mexican au-
thorities.
"In view of the considerations which
have been set forth and in view par
ticularly the view of my government
that the charge against jenkins of de-
liberate false swearing is unfounded,
the government of the United States
must rneew its request for the imme-
date release of Consular Agent Jen-
kins from further imprisonment"
Characterizing as ''mere excuses"
Carranza's contention of inability to
release jenkins, the secretary of state
argues that the American request is
founded "on the justice of the right
of an American citizen and United
States consular officers to fair treat
ment while residing and discharglng
his duties within Mexican jurisdic-
tion. Mr.. Lansing says the Mexican
government knows that the absence OF
s.impartial treatment" Of Jenkins is
the "reason for the American re-
quest"
Accepting Carranza's explanation
that Jenkins is held not for collusion
with his abductors, but for perjury,
the secretary inquiries whether this
accusation is made in behalf OF ms
Ikidnapers, and declares that the Mexl-
t 2z IS ~
