A few nights later Pasquale re-
turned to the Coughlin house and
entered the baby's room by means
of a ladder. When the child started
to cry he wrapped a coat around
1t, escaped down the ladder

then, took him down to the river
because didn't want to put him ip

The confession said Pasquale had
to wait until the newspapers came

iaT before he could learn the name
Of the child's parents and write q
letter to them for money.

Incensed.

Warsaw, Oct. 14.-(United Press)
Wilma, an ancient city 225 miles
northeast Of here, seems likely to
become a new sore spot in Europe,
more painful even than Fiume.
The narrow, crowded streets Of
the old city are patrplied BY Polish
soldiers, who took the place under
the leadership Of General Zeligow-
ski.
The Lithuanians. who wanted the
town - their capital, are much in
censed and the allies-Britain and
France-want Zeligowxk to get out
30 that peace may be preserved.
They have asked Poland to make
him vacate.
From IN authoritative source to-
day it was learned Poland is pre-
pairing nste to the allies express
ing regret fef ZeligoUski's oecups-
ton Of wilma, but saying this gov
eminent cannot promise to make
him get out, The Polish army
would mutiny, this, note points out,
il the soldiers were ordered to at
tack their fellow Poles in Vilna>

Joseph Cook. minister Of the navy,
asserted III a. speech the other day
that there was little in Japan's claim
that sho was being deprived Of priv
ileges she had enjoyed under German
rule in the Pacific islands. 4.
Sin phas a similar mandate over
the isGnds north of the Equator"
continued Sir Joseph. Here she has
the same rights and privileges that we
have in ours. I 'hope the point will not
be pressed 1t is vital to us lin every
way and goes right to the heart of
our life in these seas. Iiihope the in
.cident will pass and that in the flu
tuha WE Will live in good fellowship.
Japan told us at thp peace: con-
ference that, she would reserve THE
right to raise the question Of racial
equality again in the League Of Ma
tons. She is, however,ia little pre-
vious in raising it now before the
league has begun to function"
