One of the baby pilgrims who arrived
from England on the Aquitania last
Friday has found home and foster
parents. Joan, blooming with health
and good looks, is the first to be
handed over for adoption She is going
to childless home in the Middle West.

newly acquired American parents are

Joan is only beginning to know the
meaning of loving arms and good food.
She was SO undernourished when she
came under the care of tke National
Adoption Society in England that il
seemed as if she could not be kent
alive. Miss Josephine Plows- Dav. who
IS associated with Miss Clara B. Spence
IN the work OF bringing the babies to
TINS country, has been supporting her

and fresh air have brought roses to
Joan's cheeks, laughter to her eyes and
curves to her infant form.

Harding Gives
Mexico Terms
OF Recognition
Statement Is Prepared That
Warns Obregon Treaty
Must Be Signed Assur-
ing Rights of Americans
Falls Report Followed
SummerIin 10 Depart Next
Week for Mexico City
TO Present His Demands

WASHINGTON, May GA definite
statement outlining the conditions
upon which the United States would
extend recognition to the Obregon gov
ernment of Mexico has been prepared
for submission to President Obregon
This statement in the form of a
memorandum, 1t was said tonight, will
be delivered to Obregon by George T
Summerlin, counselor of the American
Embassy ut Mexico City, who is ex-
pected to depart for Mexico this week
He was summoned here month ago
by the Secretary of State to give first
hand information concerning the situa-
tion in that country.
The conditions for recognition, it is
understood, are virtually Identical with
the recommendation made by Secre-
tary Fall in his report at the last ses-
sion of Congress as chairman of a sub
committee of the Senate Foreign Re
lations Committee, which investigated
the Mexican question.
The important feature of the COM
munication is said to be the insstence
that Obregon must sign some document
giving assurances that Americans and
their interests will be properly safe
guarded in Mexico before the United
States will consider the resumption of
formal relations with that country If
such assurances are given it is be-
lieved that Henry P. Fletcher, Under
Secretary of State, VINO was ambas-
sador to Mexico for time under the
Wilson Administration until he re-
signed because Of disapproval of that
n ip1ic t,af wi M
will be designated to represent the
United States in drafting a treaty.
No Ultimatum Involved
The communication which Mr.. Sum
merlin will deliver to General Obregon
contains nothing which can justify it's
being characterized as an ultimatum,
but it is understood the Mexican Ex-
ecutive will be left in no doubt as to
the determination of the American Ad-
ministration to see that American in
terests are not indefinitely discrim-
mated against. 1t is said to have been
prepared not only with the knowledge
of Secretary Fall but in collaboration
with him.
Among the conditions set forth are ):
Elimination of those provisions of
Article XVII of the Mexican Consti-
tuition relating to the naturalization
of the subsoil rights, in so far as they
affect the tenure of land to which title
was obtained prior to the adoption of
the Constitution in 1917
Elimination OF provisions which de-
prive Americans of the right of diplo-
matte appeal in cases where property
IS acquired.
Modification of the provisions which
prevent Americans from acquiring and
owning property within certain zone

Stillman Case
Settlement l.

Withdrawal of Litigation

Clears Name of Baby Guy
of Amy Illegitimacy Taint
Will Share i'm the Estate
Wife Will Receive 100000
a Year for Self and A Chill
dren; To Go to Country

New terms are now under considera-
ton for the settlement of the divorce
case of James A. Stillman, millionaire
bank director, against Anne Urquhart
Potter Stillman. 1t is believed final
settlement will be reached this week,
probably as early as tomorrow.
Just eight days after The Tribune had
announced exclusively that Mr.. Still
man would drop his suit all other New
York newspapers came out yesterday
and concurred. New terms of settle
ment, according to reliable source, are :
Mrs. Stillman is to receive $500 a
month for the support of herself and
her four children, Anne, nineteen years
old; James A. jr., seventeen; Alexander,
eleven, and Guy, twenty-nine months.
When any of the children are with their
father he will provide for their support.
1t is said he has already made provision
for Miss Anne. Mr. Stillman will also
pay for the education of baby Guy.
Means Recognition of Guy
When Mr.. Stillman drops his suit it
was said on good authority Guy auto
matcally becomes recognized as his son,
for the reason that his legitimacy is no
longer questioned or attacked. John e.
Mack, guardian ad litem for Guy, will
continue to watch his interests until
such time as Justice Morschauser, of the
Supreme Court, who appointed him, sees
fit to remove him. Mr.. Mack, it is
known, will not stand in the way of
any terms of settlement which are sat-
isfactory to the baby's mother, but un-
der the state law he is bound to guard
the baby's interests. Under any terms
which withdraw the charges concerning
the birth OF Guy he automatically shares
equally with the other children under
the $6,000,000 trust fund created by the
will of the late James A. Stillman
grandfather of the Stillman children.
Mr.. Mack anticipates no trouble obtain
ing any court order necessary to estab-
lish forever the legitimacy of Guys
birth
Mr.. Stillman under the new terms
will pay all expenses, court costs. at
torneys' fees and cover all other outlays
incident to the litigation since its in
ception, July /, 1920.
Two babies, Guy Stillman and Jay
Leeds, are said to have had much to do
in an indirect way with the proposed
settlement of the suit. Mr.. Stillman
is said to have been advised against

Casualties Are Numerous
and Warsaw Reinforce
ments Rush TO Front

LONDON, May 23.-The first real
operation of war during the Polish
insurrection in Upper Silesia oc-
Cured Saturday evening, when Ger
mans attacked in the Grossteiner
Forest, according to q dispatch to
The London Times from Ratihor.
The correspondent followed the Ger
mans, and says they attacked in two
columns, one from Lowietsko and
the other from Krappitz and Go
COLIN.
The Poles left their position hur-
riedly. Near Gogolin four field guns
and eight machine guns and $50
rifles were captured.
The correspondent said the Ger
mans were reinforcing their posi-
tions and intended to continue the
attack Sunday evening.
Fighting Incessant
A dispatch to The London Times
from Oppeln says incessant fighting,
with numerous casualties, continues
between Polish insurgents and Ger
mans in the Rosenberg, Kreuzburg,
Ratibor and Krappitz areas. This
dispatch was dated Saturday.
The correspondent motored through
the Polish lines, where he saw new
troops and artillery and other equip
ment. He says that Adelbert Kor-
fanty's proclamation to the Polish
chiefs about disarmament and with
drawal is considered either a joke or
clever diplomatic move.
The Germans, says the CORE
spondent, have been reinforced.
They have artillery and a large
quantity of revolvers and about one
rife to each two men.

NORFOLK, Va, May 22.-Plans for

James River near Clarenont, yap are

CHICAGO, May 22.-The dismissal
Of seventy six enforcement agents here
last Thursday left only eight men on

Of the city administration is that the

Warehouse where seized liquor is
