LAPLAND'S CONVOY

Liner Arrives Here After Flee
ing From Torpedoes Fired
in Hot Battle.
Passengers aboard the British
steamer Lapland, which reached here
to-day from Liverpool, witnessed a
battle In the Irish Channel 'etween
a British torpedoboat, which escort
ed the Lapland, and a German sub
marine. The Lapland, crowding on ail
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 tire.
The raider fired a torpedo at
another vessel. Passengers aboard
the Lapland watched the progress of
the mlssle 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
hod quickened their fire to a fusillade
of shots. The Lapland's captain or
dered full speed ahead and the steam
er shot forward. To dodge torpedo s
and to afford tho submarine a poor
target, the Lapland was steered at
Intervals abruptly to port and to star
board In a slg-xag course, doing at
her highest speed, the steamer left
the combatants behind and.ssaae tke
ceeded on her voyage without fur
ther molestation.
The Lapland carried 111 passengers.
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.
Thetr parents In this country learned
what had happened and Invoked the
aid of the State Department at Wash
ington to secure their release. Through
the efforts of Ambassador Page, at
London, the boys were released. Mr.
Page sent them home.

"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 "L" 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 a bit of yellow paper pinned to
the baby's undershirt waa written,
"Please don't forget me, and kindly
call roe Josephine." The child was
wrapped n a blue, sllk-llned tailored
woman's Jacket, bearing the label of
B. Laurltano, ladles' tailor. The

To Devote Life to' Aiding Hunt
for Murderer of 'JEW
Side Child';
Although the police have not yet
found any one who can describe accu
rately the oldlsb man who often In
sulted little girls In the balls of No.
152 Third Avenue, where tiny Leonora
Cohn met a frightful death last even
ing, they hope to get him before long.
Dr. Ray performed an autopsy oft
the body of the little victim at tie
t trgue. He found thu. eh had been
criminally assaulted. Then the mur
derer had 'slashed her.
'It Is a typical dadlst crime," said
the doctor. "It Is the act of a species
of lunatlo well kaown to alienists."
The finger prints on the throat ot
the child and on the pall of milk she
was carrying are expected to furnish
a sure means of Identification.
More than twenty detectives, under
Capts. Carey, Cllldea 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 wltbln a few stepe ot her
borne apartment.
It would have been quite possible
for a stranger to have got Into any
house on the block, which runs from
Twenty-fifth to Twenty-sixth Street
and to make his way unseen from
the houso Into any other over the
roof. That Is probably what the
murderer did In thla case.
MOTHER TO DEVOTE LIFE TO
8EEKINQ SLAYER.
Mrs. Anna Cohn, the mother of .the
murdered girl, Is a trained 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 I
burled my husband, and yet It Is
three years. Boon 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 a crime I
cannot understand. Only an arch
fiend would be capable of It I pray
Qod to gve me strength that I may
devote my life to finding the murderer
of my child, or helping the police to
do so."

called "Smarty" by tho people among
whom she lived. This was because
she was such a smart clever little
