her son. Robert, was killed in action in
France on March 20, 1918. Doctors warned
that if she were told the sad news it would
kill her. She was never told.
Her family caused letter to be sent
to her, supposedly from her son. telling
her that he was employed in France. Let

CH|LD'S OPERATION
ORDER SUSTAINED
New York Court of Appeals
UphoIds Action to Save
Child, 2, Doomed.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 18.-The appellate
division of the Supreme Court today
upheld the right Of Judge George Smyth
of the Westchester County Children's
Court to order an operation performed
on 2-year-old Helen Vasco, who has
been spirited away from her home at
Hastings by her parents.
Helen Vasco Is suffering from ma
lignant tumor in her left eye which
doctors believe will cause her death
unless it Is removed, although the op-
Grafton would cost the sight Of that eye,
The parents, recent immigrants. re-
fused to permit the operation and agents
of the Children's Society took the mat
ter to Judge Smyth. He ordered the
operation, but stayed his own order
pending ruling on it by the appellate
division.
Twin Sister Fell Ill.
While the higher court was consider
ing the matter Helen,s twin sister fell
Ill and the parents barricaded their
home against every o-e, including doc
tors and police. ....
The case aroused 80 much interest
that crowds congregated about the
home In the Hudson River town and
were only kept at distance by threats
of the Vascos to pour boiling water on
any one who approached.
Last Saturday the whole family SUD.
denly disappeared and police sought
them in New York. New Jersey ana
Pennsylvania. Yesterday the father,
John Vasco. appeared at police sta
tion and said his family had been Wis
iting relatives and would return home
today If protection from invasion OF
their privacy by the curious could be
guaranteed. Police promised to- rope
of the street and guard the house.
Prompt Action Is Urged.
The illness Of the second child,
Anna, proved to be of no seriousness,
but Helen's infliction is one which doc
tors called into the case by the Chill
dren's Court believe calls for prompt
operative Intervention.
The father, even before he took his
family away. had become reconciled to
the prospect of an operation If the
courts should decide it was necessary,
but he said his wife was still firmly set
against 1t.
