LONDON. Oct.,22.
An organized, effort to oust Premier
Asqulth, Sfr Edward Qrey, Lord 'Kitchen

Cabinet Is the charge brought against
Lord Northcllffo today by the Dally
Chronicle. 'Included' In the alleged 'plans
of Lord Northcllffc, who owns the Times
and other British papers, la the forma
tion of a new Cabinet, with Lloyd-George
as Premier, .
The Chronicle asserts that Lord North
cliffs has been "openly boasting" this
week that the Government would be de
stroyed in a fp rtnlght's time., and adds:
"Mr. Lloyd-George Is favorite for 'the
Premiership In the new combination,
whch would Include Lord Curzon, as
Foreign. Secretary; J. Austen Chamber

Andrew Bonnr Law, as Colonial - Secre

tary and 'Vincent Mllner, as Secretary
for India. Earl Kitchener would be re
tained fpr a, time as War Secretary, hut
would be shunted at, the first opportunity,
"The Idea Is to overthrow the Govern

and It Is significant that David Lloyd
Oeorge. who favors compulsion, has Just
appointed two conscrlptlonlsts, Colonel,
II, Lee and Sir Leo O. Chlozza Money,
as his secretaries," i ,
Jdhn' Annan Bryce, member of Parlia
ment and son of Viscount Bryce, Is
quoted as declaring In an Interview:
"I firmly believe the Government will
co!apse. The trouble Is pot confined to
any particular spot: the structure will
'fall of' Its own woiglit. It has been top
heavy from the time the present-Cabinet
was. formed.
"Although Sir Edward Carspn and I
hold wisely different pollMcaJ views, I
was sorry to see him, resign. He has
the principal qualification ne;ary to, a

BOY NOW HEIR TO
MANY MILLIONS
Philadelphia Waif Adopted
by Former Helen Miller
Gould and Husband
FOUNDLING IN N. Y. CITY
It Is Just like a fairy book story a lit
tle ."losted" boy crying for his father and
mother and his sister, nhose whereabouts
are-ahajaieJrayster and .belng'sent
'to a children's home where he was given'
a number, like hundreds of other waifs;
and then being adopted by the beautiful
Lady Bountiful, who lives In a stone man
sion where the wind rustles all day long
in the green trees and the moon at night
throws long "creepy" shadows on the
lawns.
Does any one remember little Austin
McCIeary? Or rather, does any one for
get him, 'the Httlo boy who said he was
from Philadelphia tho night more than
a year ago he was found weeping on the
steps of St Patrick's Cathedral. In New
York?
He has disappeared. I,n his place now,
stands Flnley Jay Shepard, legally adopt
ed eon of Mr. and Mrs. Flnley J. Shepard,
of Lyndhurst, nt Irvlngton-on-the-Hud-son,
and heir to their millions.
.Mrs. Shepard Is the former Helen Mil
ler Gould, of course Lady Bountiful and
patron saint of Uncle, Sam's army and
navy boys.
It Is the old story of a mansion, big and
flne and beautiful, but whose halls re
echoed with a hollow voice .one's tread,
where the Bllence Is oppressive and where
smiles are wistful because the prattle of
children's vplces Is missing.
It Is the old story of a woman's heart,
big and tender, and full of good works
but longing for the love of a child. Mrs.
Shepard longed for a child at Lyndhurst,
which, as she said, "Should have children
running all over It." Sho has that child
today.
,Record of adoption of the child was filed
at the County Clerk's office at White
Plains, N.Y yesterday. The application
was approved W-,"e8aay by William A.
Sawyer, Surrogate of Westchester County,
And the application was prepared by

U. S.1 REGIMENT
SENT TO BORDER
AGAINST BANDITS
28th Infantry Ordered to
Join the Forces of Gen
eral Funston
CONDITIONS ARE SERIOUS
WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.-Another regi
ment of Infantry was ordeicd today to
Harllngen, Texas, by Secretary of War
Garrison to reinforce General Funston's
border patrol. The 28th Infantry was
ordered from Texas City and the 23d In
fantry from Jacksonville, Fla,, to Gal
veston. President Wilson also directed the De
partment of Justice Immediately to In
crease Its force of special agents along
the Mexican border sufficiently to pre
vent any smuggling of arms across the
Mo Grande and at the same time to as
sign sufficient men to determine who Is
responsible for the various organized
raids across Into Texas in which Ameri
cans are being killed and wounded.
The 28th Infantry was tho last of the
Texas City garrison and Its departure
for Harllngen Indicates the seriousness
with which the War Department regards
the recent border raids. Because it Is
necessary to have a regiment In reserve,
tho 23d Infantry was ordered taken from
Jacksonville, whero target practice was
In progress, to the Texas City reserve
post
Secretary of War Garrison said the
sending of the 28th to the border was
a precautionary move. The Mexican
bandits who have been operating in the
Brownsville region have been able to
strike and run almost at will, but with
tho addition to the forces there of an
entire leglment of Infantry It will be
possible to utilize more cavalry for scout
ing work.
"The situation In tho Brownsville re
gion la local to a great extent," explained
tho War Secretary. "Unless the Texas
authorities ask us to do more than we
are doing now we are limited by law
to maintaining the border patrol and tc
killing as many of the raiders who at
tack us as we can. If the Governor of
Texas should request It, we easily could
establish a military zone that would
Jake In. all of the Brownsville region.
But unless the local authorities ask us
to do this we cannot act."
