Bolt Of Lightning Cuts
Bolster Between
Two Girls

YORK, Pa, July IL
Lightning played a strange
freak at the home of George
Hackman, The Glades, north
east of this city, when it struck
two beds in different rooms,
tore the posts off and cutting
the bolster in two between two
young girls, burned them.
The victims are Evelyn, nine,
and Ruth Minnich, seven,
daughters of Edward Minnich,
of Emigsville, who are visiting
their uncle, Mr.. Hickman.
Ruth was burned the more
severely. About 1880 o'clock
the bolt struck the bed, cut the
bolster in two between their
heads and tore off one of the
bed posts; then flashed into
the front room and tore all
the posts from a bed. The
house was practically I'M
damaged.

GIRL MOTHER IS
HAPPY WITH
BABY
Red Tape Is Waived to Admit
Child to Stay With Ac-
cused Parent.

With her baby cuddled in her
arms, Miss Nellie Blanche Plymale,
mother of the month-old infant that
was abandoned at the New Willard
a week ago, is at the House of De-
tention satisfied to let the law take
its course. She gave herself up to
Detective Sergeants O'Brien and
Livingston, who were hot on her
trail, and her experience with the
law since she has been arrested has
been pleasant.
She is now certain Of an ample
ration of food and she has place
to sleep-two things which her al
most destitute condition formerly
made almost impossible. And the
so-called stern necessities of law
have been stretched for enough 20
waive the fact that her baby has
been formally given over to the
Board of Children's Guardians for a
month.
Kind-hearted officials Of the
board today waived temporarily
their rights to the baby and decided
to let the anxious mother care for
her Isn't. The baby was given to
her yesterday, and at her insistent
reques, it was placed in her Gus
tody all last night. Attendants at
the House Of Detention say that
she has fondled the baby almost
necessarily since getting it back.
Though the polGS have in their
possession the name of the father
of the baby, no immediate ACTION
against him is contemplated. The
father resides at Lynchburg, Va.
and the police Of that city will
probably take action against him
If any is taken. The charge 81
abandonment against the girl
mother will not be pressed for sew
eral days.

SUGGESTS LIMITATION
British Air Chief Fears New Race
 For Supremacy

LONDON, July 1S.-(Correspond- ence of the Associated Press.)- Mai. Gen. Sir Frederick Maurice who was chief of military operations for Great Britain during the war, de- clares in an article on the increase in the air forces of France and Britain that it is high time the question of limitation of armaments is taken up seriously" He says that the British governments recent decision to near ly double Engiand's present air equip ment meant a return to competition in armaments and that such competition is not likely to lead to improved re- lations between the two countries.
 General Maurice emphasizes Great Britains willingness to enter into a conference on the reduction of air armaments similar to the Washington conference on naval armaments. But for the present, he says, Britain must out of self protection, bring her air strength up to that of France. France" says he, lis the only coun- try which within the next ten years Is likely to be able to consider seri- . ously an attack upon England from the air. Today we are not in the most romote danger of invasion which comes by sea Therefore, for the first time for centuries, the navy has ceased to be our first line of home defense, and that role has devolved upon the air force.

BRITISH ENCOURAGED BY BINDING OIL WELL
Petroleum Not Abundeant, But The
 Quality Is High

LONDON, July 19.-(CorreSponu- ence of the Associated Press,) ,)-The success of recent oil-drilling opera tions in the northern counties of Eng land and in Scotland have led to new drilling operations on a larger scale. The oil found. while not abundant, is claimed to be of the fines. heavy grade and has led many geologists to believe that asphalt deposits lie in th!5 section.
 oil has been found in Derbyshire, Staffordshire and Midlothian. At Hardstoft, Derbyshire. a. well drilled about a year ago has produced a thousand tons of heavy oil and the well is still liflowing. Five ther wells In this section have shown traces of oil but have t yet been pumped.
 Indications of oil have been found in the Staffordshire coal mines, but the prospects are not believed en- eouraging for the operator.
 Most of the test wells have been drilled by the government in order to prove the theory that oil exists in many of the sections of the British Is4es. English operators believe that while the result of the drilling so far is not what was looked for, it is pos sible to produce oil in commercial quantities,
