CAT IN JEALOUS RAGE
BITES INFANTS FACE
Also Attacks and Wounds Mother
Who Had Just Given Bottle
to Baby.

It required the efforts of a New
York policeman, a janitor, an ambu-
lance surgeon and several neighbOrs
to relieve the excitement caused, when
a hitherto meek family cat attacked
Mrs John ReardOn and her eight
months-old son, John Jr., in their
home at No. sos West One Hundred
and Sixty-sixth street.
Mrs. Reardon tried to give a bottle
of milk to the baby, who was in a
movable crib, when the cat leaped
into the crib and bit the child about
the face. When the mother inter-
fered the cat sprang at her repeated
ly, biting her right arm six times.
Attracted by screams, Parolman
Fitzmaurice Of the West One Hundred
and Seyenty-seventh street station ran
into the place and placed the cat in
a box, taking it to the station house.
An ambulance surgeon from Columbus
hospital dressed the wounds of the
mother and the baby.
The cat has belonged for six years
to Mrs, Reardon's mother-in-law and
seemed to resent the marriage Of John
Reardon three years ago and the com
ing Of his two children, John Jr., and

His office is the mecca for hundreds

Other cabinet members are almost
equally rus ed in listening to the

seekers run keeps up at the present
rate, spring may be well under way
before the major part of cabinet Of

Of the PRESSING questions before va

MARK GREAT BATTLE FRONT
Line Of Stones Will Be Put Up From
North Sea to Swiss Frontier

Along the line of the great battle
front from the North sea to the Swiss
frontier uniform landmarks in stone
are to be set up as lasting memorial
to the heroes of the allied armies.
Marshal Petain is to choose the places
where the stones will be set, and the
cost will be borne by the Touring Club
of France.
While the war was still on 1t was
proposed that as soon as victory was
won the front should be marked by q
great roadway along it's entire length,
which would usefully serve as a me-
mortal. When the victory was won,
however, 1t was found that the cost
of such road would be prohibitive.
The French government felt unable to
do anything in the matter, and so pri-
vate enterprise has decided to erect
a great line of white memorial stones
along the famous line where French,
Belgian, British and American sol
diers held, fought and defeated the
German armies.
The design for the stone is simple,
being pyramidal in form. The only
ornament is a soldiers helmet, sur
rounded by laurel crown, and the
only inscription is Here was stopped
the onrush of the barDaFians."

The following remarkable state
meat was made recently by Mrs.
Alice Gresham Dodd, the mother of
Corporal Jas. B. Gresham, who was
tie first American soldier killed in
France. The statement was made
at the Gresham Memorial Home,
which was presented to her by the
patriotic people of Indiana, as an
evidence Of their appreciation of
the services rendered to his country
oy her son.
The shock of her sons death re-
suited in a serious breakdown in
Mrs. Dodd's health, but everyone will
earn with interest and pleasure that
she is now in splendid health again.
Mrs. Dodd gives the entire credit for
her recovery to the celebrated medi-
cine, Tanlac.
She said: "After my dear boys
Heath | had a general breakdown in
health. At first it was just indiges-
Lion. My food would upset me and
| had to diet myself very carefully.
| also had rheumatism with severe
pains in my shoulders, back and
arms and at times | would suffer
greatly, and my joints would become
swollen and stiff. | was hardly able
to do but very little about the house
and at times could not even cook a
neal. became very nervous and
restless and at night would lie awake
for hours.
"a friend of mine advised me to

proved to be the best medicine | have
ever taken. 1t soon gave me sDlen-
did appetite and relieved me entire
ly of Indigestion. My rheumatism

est ease. Ny nerves are steady and

There is no unemployment in Fin,

Finnish government. He attributed
Finland's good fortune in this respect
as compared to most other countries,
to the prohibition Of imports. This
had the effect of making the cOuntry's
industrial production greater than at
the beginning Of the war.
Finland is now considering the ad-
visibility of gradually disseminating
the embargo on imports, he said. This
country has begun TO transship goods
for Russia and has established a free

A footbridge once stood across the

that frail structure could have been

A HIGH WATER ALARM

At daylight on the morning of the
5th inst, following a heavy rain
storm, a warning was sent over the
phone to the custodian of the Normal
buildings of the danger from the
rapid rising of Big Greek, an event
from which the city has suffered in
the past, and from which it is liable
to suffer again.
At the Normal, the high water
reaches the tunnels first, through
which it can pass into the Easements;
this occurred last spring, and has oc-
Cured more than once.
~ To the average man it would seem
incredible that important public
buildings institutions should
be placed in such an unsanitary en-
vironment where they must suffer
loss, and where when appropriations
are applied for the politicians at the
east end of the state can use it as a
club to beat down our just claims.
1t is not a sane act to place a public
building, to say nothing of an institu-
ton of learning on low ground when
an eminence like the site OF old Fort
HAYS was available. No reasonable
explanation has ever been offered
for that great error, but the slogan of
