CARDIFF, Wales, February 7.— Two-year-old Merwyn Hodges played about the door of his fath- er's cottage, in Aberaman, today, unmindful of the fact that for two days practically no coal in the great Aberdare valley fleld had been mined, because the 11,000 miners, who should have been at work, were eearching for him. Merwyn, a miner's son, disap- peared last Baturday noon from his father's house. ~His friends, voung and old, looked in vain for him all that day and Sunday. When Monday morning brought no tid- ings of the youngster, 6.000 miners in_the community decided upon a baby hunt, and, Instead of going to the pits, they combed the coun- tryside thoroughly, tramping the surrounding hills and dragging the ponds until dark. But they did not find Merwyn. On Tuesday morning 5,000 more miners joined in the search. After many fruitless hours a man pass- ing a closed freight car that stood on a colliery siding, heard a faint cry. He opened the door and found Merwyn, tearful, but unhurt. The youngster could only say that man” had taken him for a ride in an automobile. It is supposed that the child wae kidnaped, and that his captors placed him in the car Whep they saw the furore his dis- appearance had caused TURKS THREATEN ALLIED WARSHIPS WASHINGTON PACTS RATIFIED BY ITALY Action Proof Country Is No “Fire Eater,” Declares Pre- mier, Before Deputies.
