Special Dispatch to The rrsopme

ATLANTA, Ga, Feb. 4.--Mrs. F. f.
A. South, fifty-two years old, whose
husband is grocery clerk, confessed
to-day that the "triplets" supposedly
"horn" to her on New Years Eve were
not her own, and that she had moth
cred eight other waif children be-
lieyed, even by her husband, to be
their own.
All of the children came from a
maternity home. When her own three
children grew up, years ago, Mrs. South
said, her yearning for babies to care
for and raise was SO great that she
cccided to get them from the mater
nifty. home and pretend they were her
own. For ten years she succeeded, and
her story came out to-day only be-
cause the city Health Commissioners
had no record of the births and made
an investigation which developed the
facts.
The triplets "born' on New Years
Eve ir reality were taken from Mrs.
NJ. r. Mitchell's maternity hospital, at
% Windsor Street. Women in charge
of the "cradle roll'' at ST. Paul's
Methodist Church had agreed to edu-
cate as missionaries the frst triplets
born to a church member. Mrs. South
holds membership in this congregation.

Rapid Transit Problem Solved
As Skunk Moves Into Subway

Some time yesterday afternoon q
skunk moved into the West Side sub
way between Thirty-fourth and Forty
second streets and at late hour last
night was still lodging the uptown
trains in that section and had caused
several hundred thousand travellers
and small and haggard band of en-
ployees to lose all interest in arv sort
of solution of the subway problem
which did not call for the election of
the mysterious stranger. They say he
is an extraordinarily able skunk and
proud of his ability.
Just how the skunk got into the sub
way 10 not known ard nobody seems to
care much The object uppermoSt in
the minds of trainmen and their
charges is how to get the animal out
The skunk has been seen, if visual tes-
timony were really necessary IN the
case He fits across the track just
ahead of subway trains, and the motor
men admit they do not know whether
it is best to hit the animal or slow
down and let him escape.

Police Conceal Report
Victim Knocked Insensible
After Answering Query
of One of the Trio

Three young men brayed the dead
line shortly after S o'clock yesterday
afternoon, entered the building at 80
Nassau Street, and in an Office on the
fourth floor beat man into insensi-
b.lity and robbed safe of what the
police say was only SIS.
No public report of the matter was
made by the police and it became
known only through the crew of the
ambulance summoned to tie building
from Volunteer Hospital.
The man attacked was Augustine
Guenat, sixty-eight years old, watch
maker, whose home is at 1910 Sutter
Avenue, Brooklyn. He shares his office
with two manufacturing jewellers,
Charles and Simon steinberg.
Struck From Behind
The Steinbergs left the office at $3.50,
but Guenat explained that he was going
to stay late to finish some work. Fif-
teen minutes after they had departed
he heard the door open and three
young men entered,
They asked him if he could do some
watch repairing for them, but Guenat
told them to come back in the morning.
He says he thought they had left, and
was bending over his work again when
some one clutched him from behind
and he was struck several times on the
head. He fell stunned.
Though the corridors Of the building
were filled with persons going home,
the thugs gathered up the contents of
the safe, which stood with door ajar,
and then slipped away without any one
seeing them.
Jewelry Unmolested
Twenty minutes later some. one
passing through the hall found the
door of Guenat's Office open, and peer
ing in saw the body of the old man on
the floor. He telephoned to the police
that a murder had been committed and
Captain Carey of the Homicide Squad
and detectives of the First Precinct,
headed by Captain Fay, responded.
They found that Guenat had only been
stunned and called Volunteer Hos
pital ambulance. The matchmaker was
revived and was able to go home. None
of the jewelry in the Office was taken,
the police say.
No trace of the thugs has been found
and the only clew the police have is the
vague description of them given by
their victim.

Geddes Now in Charge

LONDON, Feb. 4.---Negotiation re-
garding an adjustment of Great Brit
aims debt to the United States are in
the hands of Sir Auckland Geddes,
British Ambassador in Washington,
and the proposed trip to America of
Lord Chalmers was merely to facili-
tate the conversations, it was said here
to-day in explanation of the postpone
ment Of Lord Chalmerss visit. 1t was
declared illogical to suppose that he
was in q position to offer any proposals,
it was rdded.
"under the Liberty loan enact
ments," The Associated Press was told,
."the American Treasury was empow-
cred to float loans and to make ad-
vances to the Allies. Negotiations
have been going on with the United
States government ever since the ar
mistice. The fact that negotiations
have been going on apparently was the
basis Of reports that Lord Chalmers
would 60 to America and propose the
conversion of the British debt to the
United States into 5 per cent bonds
maturing in 1888 and 1947. The dele
cation of Lord Chalmers to 60 to
America, however. may be taken as an
Indication Of the British desire to wind
up affairs"

BIRMINGHAM, Eng, Feb. A (By The
Associated Press).-The British GOV
ernment formally proposed a cancelIa-
tion of all inter-Allied debts, but the
proposals were unacceptable tc the
American government, said J. Austen
Chamberlain, Chancellor Of the Ex-
chequer, in speech to his constituents
here to-day.

think" Mr.. Chamberlain continued.
beneath our dignity, and would render
us liable to misconception of our
motive.
In making them," said Mr.. Cham
Dcrlain, I'VE sought no national advan-
tages for ourselves. We proposed a
solufsoissitl whiehwe should have fore
gone claims larger than any RENTED
70 us. snd we proposed it because. we
believed it would be in the interests Of
tsooa re elaianss4aaong peoples, the re-
nanllhtatlor ' OF national credit and the
restoration of international trade.
Aid to Allies Expensive
Our great international debt is due
TO the obligations we undertook on be-
half OF our allies. If we had had only
ourselves to consider we should have
been virtually free of external debt at
the present time"
: Mr.. Chamberlain prefaced his re-
marks by saying that he would have
preferred at the close of the war that
the whole inter-Allied debt had been
wiped out, SO as to start with a clean
slate. There was no proposal for a
settlement Of the international debt
among the Allied and associated pow
ers,,. whether for total or partial re-
mission. which the British government
would not have been prepared to be a
party to, he declared.

Early Morning Patrons at Park
Row Restaurant Have
Opfical Decisions

The remorseful and worldweary citi-
zen who wandered into Childs's Park
Row restaurant early yesterday
straightway forgot his depression in
alarm. He gazed ut the waitress. who
stood beside him and then glared at her
mates.
Gimme a cup of black coffee.
Quick!" he gasped.
Fortified somewhat he ventured q
query.
"Are they really purple ?' he asked.
They weren't purple, the waitress in
formed him. They were lavender uni
forms, which the restaurant was con-
sidering generally substituting for
white. All of the mattresses in the
Park Row establishment served as trial
horses yesterday for the color scheme
which Childs NAV adopt universally if
it is found that it lends cheer to the
serious business of consuming "ham

The manager of the establish
ment could give no further details of
the startling transformation. The
order had gore forth, he said, and there
they were. That much was entirely
obvious to patrons all day long.

Wife Fools Husband I'll Times
BY Producing Borrowed Babies

More than ten years ago Mrs. South
said she hit upon the scheme of de-
ceiving her husband with "fake
birth" She said the plan worked SO
we'll that at annual intervals she adopt
ed three more infants. These four
babies, said Mrs. South, she got from
institutions, the names of which she
would not give. They now range in
age from five to thirteen and live in
complete ignorance of their true
origin.
Four years ago, said Mrs. South, she
decided to have twins She got them
from the maternity home, she said.
They were boys, but both died. So two
years ago Mrs. South declares she got
two girls. which she declared were
twins, and has reared them.
Mrs. Mitchell confirmed Mrs. South's
assertions regarding these "triplets''
.end twins" The "triplets," said Mrs.
Mitchell, were children of three diff
TO- Mt mothers.
Mrs. South's husband laughed when
he was informed of his wife's confes-
sion, and then became indignant, de-
caring it was an internal lie" He
added:
"They are all my children"

war. There are also 900 colonies, but
the great majority of the reservists,
29967 of them, are second lieutenants.
In conformity with wartime prac-
tice, the regulations provide that only
men with actual training or expert
ence may be appointed reserve officers
of the line. This includes appoint
ments In the infantry, cavalry, field
or coast artillery, and air service, the
combatant arms Of the army. Spe-
cial service appointments may be
made, however, where the civil train
ing or professional training Of a citi-
zen fits him for wartime service with
the army, but not to lead troops In
battle. To accomplish this, two dis
tinct classes of reserve officers are
created.

In Constructing Roads In Spring,
10 Wasted ss4 -.

The building OF roads in the spring
is opposed by good engineers, who in
sist that money spent at that season
is largely wasted. They hold that
work should be done N the fall and
winter, when the ground is In better
condition and when foundations can
be laid with greater permanenos.
They also criticize the skinny manner
In which foundations are laid, pointing
out that subsequent repair bills make
