In the steerage were two American boys, Harold and Howard Hudson, of Bridgeport, Conn,, twins about fifteen years old, who had attended school near London. The boys wanted to see actual warfare and enlisted in the British army, giving false ages and not mentioning their nationality. Their pareats in this country learned what had happened and invoked the aid of the State Department at Wash- ington to secure thelr release. Through the efforts of Ambassador Page, at London, the boys were released. Mr. Page sent them home. FIND LIVE BABY GIRL UNDER SEAT ON “L” “Don’t Forget Me, and Call Me Josephine,” Read Note on Foundling. A baby girl, about six weeks old, was found under the cross seat of a Third Avenue “LL” car that reached the Bronx Park terminal at 4 o'clock this morning. Guard James Good- win, who found the baby, turned the infant over to the police who sent it to Bellevue. The baby was dressed in white, and on @ bit of yellow paper pinned to the baby’s undershirt was written, “Please don't forget me, and kindly call me Josephine.” The child was wrapped in a blue, silk-lined tailored woman's jacket, bearing the label of B, Lauritano, ladies’ tailor, The police will ask Lauritano for whom the coat was made, PASSENGERS SEE LAPLAND'S CONVOY FIGHT SUBMARINE Liner Arrives Here After Flee- ing From Torpedoes Fired in Hot Battle, ye Ee K Passengers aboard the British steamer Lapland, which reached here to-day from Liverpool, witnessed a battle in the Irish Channel * etween & British torpedoboat, which escort- ed the Lapland, and a German sub- marine. The Lapland, crowding on all steam, fled from the combatants. The Lapland picked up her naval escort outside the entrance to Liver- pool harbor. Before the steamer sailed, reports were current in Liver- pool that submarines were in nearby waters, Steamer and convoy were not far from Liverpool when the tor- pedoboat opened fire. The raider fired a torpedo at another vessel. Passengers aboard the Lapland watched the progress of the missile through the water and saw that it went wide of its target. No torpedo was discharged at the Lap- land, so far as could be learned. Meantime the torpedo boat's guns had quickened their fire to a fualllade of shots. The Lapland’s captain or- dered full speed ahead and the steam- er shot forward. To dodge torpedos and to afford the submarine a poor target, the Lapland was steered at intervals abruptly to port and to star- at i (Continued on Fifth Paget ps le Hd ead “TRIAL SERGEANTS” NAMED.

Although the police have not yet found any one who can describe agou- rately the oldishb man who oftem if- sulted little girls in the balls of No. 362 Third Avenue, where tiny Leonore Cohn met a frightful death last even- ing, they hope to get him before loag. Dr. Ray performed an autopsy of the body of the little victim at the } orgue. He found tha. she had been criminally assaulted. Then the mur- derer had slashed her. “It te a typica! Sadist crime,” sald the doctor. “It is the act of a species of lunatic well kaown to allenists.” The finger prints on the throat of the child and on the pail of milk ehe was carrying are expected to furnish & sure means of identification. More than twenty detectives, under Capts. Carey, Gildea and Cray, have been constantly at work almost from the moment the crime was discovered, at 7.40 last evening. The imprint of a fingernail on the child's left cheek and of a thumb nail on the right side of the throat indicate that she was caught at the head of the stairs, when she was within @ few steps of her home apartment. It would have been quite possible for a stranger to have got into any house on the block, which runs from Twenty-fitth to Twenty-sixth Street, and to make his way unseen from the house into any other over the roof, That is probably what the murderer did in this case, MOTHER TO DEVOTE LIFE TO SEEKING SLAVER. Mrs. Anna Cohn, mother of the murdered girl, is ined nurse, ac- customed to holding her feelings in restraint. In a voice which broke now and then she said to-day to an Evening World reporter: “It seems but a few days since J buried my husband, and yet it ts three years. Soon after the other baby died, and now they have taken all that I had. I don’t feel so much for myself, but it is the way they did it, The way my little darling must have suffered! What agony she must have endured! “How any human being, male’ or fe- male, could commit such @ crime I cannot understand. Only an arch flend would be capable of it. I pray God to give me strength that I may devote my life to finding the murderer of my child, or helping the police to do 80.” Little Leonore Cobn was often called “Smarty” by the people among whom she lived, This was because ie wae MRS RN OO : nd ADMIRAL’S I DEAT! 2/| OFFICIALLY DENIE 4. “RIPPER’S” VICTIM Carden’s Place as MOTHER IS DESOLATE, morning.
