parts of Indiana is proving a ham

During one night thieves were
especially active in Uniondale and

between that town and Kingsland.
A car belonging to Harry Hof-
facker was also stolen, only to be
abandoned in mud. The thieves,

roads. Employees of factories in the

Return of Tardieu as Head
of Cabinet Strengthens
Paris Position.
BRAND TO COOPERATE
Events Expected to Move
Swiftly When ConCIave
Opens Again.
BY WILLIAM PHILIP SINfMS
Soripps- Howard Foreign Editor


PARIS, Feb. 27.-If any one ever
thought that France might alter
her naval policies in London, events
now taking place here should con-
vince him of his error.
Not only will Tardieu return to
London as head of the French dele
cation, but the rise and fall of the
Chautemps cabinet proves that If
this country is united on any single
subject, that subject is the way it's
foreign MISUNDERSTANDING the
London naval conference.-the being
conducted.
The most popular item of the
short-lived Chautemps platform
was the formal pledge of support
for the French memorandum sub
mitted to the naval conference.
Tardieu's government is unlikely
to suffer the fate of Chautemps. It
likely will receive a bigger majority
than his first one did, for his sec

met. A coalition of as many fac
lions and parties as possible.
BRAND viii Return
Thus when Tardieu returns to
London next week he will be in
stronger position than when he first
went. 1t is a foregone conclusion
that BRAND also will return. His
exclusion from Tardieu'S second gov
eminent not only would weaken it,
but would cause international con-
sternation, especially in conference
circles in London, where Brands
prestige and devotion to the ideals
of world peace are recognized unan-
imously.
Once Tardieu and BRAND are back
at the parley, events will move
swiftly. For one thing, the other
delegation have had ample time to
sleep and parley over what they
intend to do. For another, the
French delegation will have the con-
seriousness that its position at home
is strong enough to concede certain
points in exchange for concessions
from the other powers without the
danger OF overthrowing the govern
ment.
Frances demands next week will
remain what they were last; namely,
a navy big enough for defense or an
agreement strengthening the pres
ent peace machinery.
Up to France
The first thing that America,
Britain and the other powers must
ascertain is what France wants
after the French resume their con-
tact in London. Also it will be
the duty of France to speak plainly.
In certain French circles, l am
told that an agreement among the
naval powers to confer with the
view Of deciding their course of ac-
ton in the event war threatens will
not satisfy. In others the impress
sion is that almost any formula Of
that sort, While not satisfying
France entirely, will make it pos
sible for her to sign a five-power
pact-particularly if a London ma
val agreement can be coupled by
acceptable phrases to the general
disarmament efforts Of the League
of Nations.
France does not wish to be iso-
lated in London or appear to have
wrecked the conference. On the
other hand, the newspaper lie
Temps points out that a two, three
or four-power agreement would
prove Of little value, since the Sc
curity Of all is directly or indirectly

Watkins SEEKS
WRIT AFTER
BAPT|S|NAL
Bambergers Spring Surprise
Christening Of Infant But
Others Won't Stand For Il

CHICAGO, July % dN.So.
That a Judge will in the end be
forced to determine the parentage
Of the infants Watkins and Bam-
berger became apparent today
when Mr.. and Mrs. william Wat
kins sought habeas corpus petit
ton to compel a trade with MIR.
and Mrs. Charles Bamberger.
The celebrated baby tangle,
which began after the two infants
were born on the same afternoon
in EngIewood Hospital, was forced
to a sudden climax yesterday by a
hasty baptismal ceremony.
Bamberger's Don't Wait
The infant baptized was the one
carried home from the hospital by
the Bambergers, and the name
given him was George Edward
Bamberger.
Mr.. and Mrs. Watkins, still In
accord with the verdict Of jury
of eminent scientists who said the
babies had been mixed, objected to
the baptism. maintaining that
the wrong baby had been baptized
with the wrong name.
AS a result, attorneys for Wat
kins expect to obtain writ Of
habeas corpus today to compel
the BambergerS to produce the
baby they possess in court and
show cause why trade should
not be made compulsory.
Would Involve Judge
Under this plan a Judge would
finally be called upon to deter
mine which baby should go to
each family.
Born on June 30, the infants
were taken home from the hos
pital a few days later. 1t was
found that the baby supposed to
belong to the Bambergers bore a
label Watkins" and the watkins
child was marked 'TBamberger."
