Anxious For Discharge.
II is said that quite-a number OF the
former Rhode Island Reserves are anx-
ious 10 receive honorable discharges
from the navy now that the war has
come to an end. This is particularly
true of the mon who left business POSI-
tlons OF Importance to enlist. and while
there was chanc6 to fight for their
country not one of them had any
thought of leaving the service. Now.
however. there is different sentiment,
and. with peace assured. they prefer to
return to civil life and business pur-
suits.
There are quite a number however,
who talk about remaining In the navy,
and II is presumed that they Will have
no difficulty In doing SO. The navy u
not likely to be reduced in sizs for
some time even n some of the en1er-
gency crafts do go out Of commission
Very soon there will be new ships TO be
manned. At the Brooklyn navy yard II
is said that from 500 to 600 men will be
needed in about a month to man the
ships now there.
First Will Go by Rail.
II having been decided by the war
department that the entire Second
Army Corps is to be moved to Middle
town. Pa, by rail instead Of by land
march, is good news for the men OF the
command and is particularly interest
ing to the officers and men of the First
Rhode Island Regiment. which Is a
part of the Second Corps. The Rhode
Island troops. with regiments of the
second division OF the corps. are now
encamped at Thoroughfare Gap, Va,
and the men are said TO be in ter
rible condition as the result of their
hard experience in marching over the
Virginia roads from Camp Alger to
of the men are footsore and without
shoes. Others have suffered from the
inclemency of the weather.
1t was represented to the war de-
partment officials that under these cir
cumstances IL would be an entirely un-
necessary hardship to compel the men
to undertake a march OF 14S miles. and
consequently orders have been issued
for the division to move by rail either
tomorrow or Thursday The first di-
vision will move by the end OF the
week.

Third Days Proceedings Of the Ma
tional Congress.
PAPERS ARE READ
The Several Addresses Received
With Great Applause.
MEETINGS OF COMMITTEES

There was an excellent attendance at
the morning session of the mothers con-
gress at the Grand Opera House today.
More than usually interesting papers were
read and the proceedings were entered
into with hearty spirit by the delegates.
The program was changed somewhat ow-
ing to unforeseen circumstances.
The first paper Of the morning was New
and Old Methods of Dealing with Defective
Children" prepared by Mrs. William Bur1i-
ham, secretary of the Womans Directory
OF Philadelphia The paper told how the
society had been started.
The speaker reviewed the difference be-
tween the founding asylum and the new
scheme. She quoted DR.. s. Weir Mitchell
as saying that after he had visited the
founding asyluras of Paris and London he
had seen on the faces of the children a
look of morbid Indifference, caused, he sup
posed. by the lack of motherhood care and
influence.
Results have shown, she said, that a
mother will not give>up her child even If

she KNOWS she can be with it but a few
weeks If mother is separated from her
offspring it is certain to have bad effect
on her.
She told Of how crimes of unwilling ma
ternity had been prevented. She gave some
specific cases of how hard, much harder
than supposed. it was for women to ADAM
don their children. These were neartrend-
Ing. The proof of the wisdom of the new
system, she said, might he given indefinite
ly. There should be better physiological
training in the schools, she thought. Ser
wants should be well treated, AMI she cited
a number of cases in point.
The gist of the speaker argument was
that, if possible, it Vas much better to
best results were attained by this plan of
procedure to both.
Aid to Children.
1.-The Worth of the Childrens Aid So
ciety of Philadelphia" by Miss Lucretia NJ
B. Mitchell, was not read by her, as she
was unable to he present, but was present
ed by Mrs. Birney. Magnificent institutions
had been established, she said and many
of these had their doors open for the chill
dren.
The society, she said, had been organized
to cooperate all systems of child saving.
The natural setting of a child she de-
clared. was the family circle and it was
the intention of the founders of the So
cety to have the children merged into the
healthy life of community. There are at
present more than 1900 places in Pennsyl-
yania where the Children's Aid Society has
its branches. "A system of blanks is used.
and a visit made to each home in the ma
ture of investigation. A board is paid
for the services done for the child
Infants are restored to heartbroken moth
erS. The children are visited in their homes
by representative of the society at least
twice a year, to see that they are receiv-
ing proper care.
Mrs. Heller's Theme.
Childhood, an differentiation" was the
next paper by Mrs. Harriet IIickox Heller
chairman of the education committee, Ne
braska Federation of Women's Clubs. The
paper was most ambitious one and had
wide scope. Men no longer study nature
from old, unprOven methods, she said A
new century is at hand. new volume is
to be opened, the pages of which are as yet
unthumbed.
IF you would know human nature" she
said. go read your own child"
She told of the woes of "a two-year-o,d
whom she had watched in most pathetic
strain and caused great amusement in the
audience. From this she drifted into an
idealistic vein.
Mrs Heller caused some further amuse-
ment by saying that she would probably
overstep the time limit laid down, but she
had rot been limited in her paper as she
had received no statement to that effect.
She supposed the time allowance would be
the same as last year, she said, and con-
tinued amidst applause.
Domestic Science Lessons.
The next thing on the program was the
singing of Work for the Night is Coming
This was rendered with fervor by the sim
gers on the platform ard the delegates
At the conclusion of the singing, a paper
was read by Mrs. W. E. Frischil. director
