HEAT RESPONSIBLE
FOR INFANT DEATHS
! Ihirty-twO Children Succumb 10
Summer Sickness.

The hot weather during the past week
has caused a remarkable number OF
deaths among the children OF Washing
ton, according to a report OF the Health
Office, Issued this morning Thirty-tvo
children less than two years OF .ge
died from diarrheal diseases.
OF these fourteen were white and
eighteen were colored. Four were
breast fed, one was breast and bottle
fed. ard twenty-saven we're fed by bot
tie alcne. OF the four infants which
have been classed as breast fed one
seven months old, was fed on bread and
gravy during it's mothers absence at her
service place. and another. three months
old. was given tea and chicken broth
while the mother was away.
OF the remaining twenty-seven in
fants who died from diarrheaI diseases
all OF whom were bottle fed. ten we're
fed on condensed milk and seventeen on
cows milk. The cows milk wds saiG
to have been boiled in eight cases and
paspeurized IN four. In the remaining
five cases it was given to the inlnnis
without special treatment.
The milk supplied to these seventeen
children came from fourteen different
dalries. The sanitary conditions sur
rounding most of the children who died
from diarrheal diseases during the week
were bad. II was found. however, that
efforts we're generally made to keep bot
ties and nipples clean.
The most remarkable portion OF the
report, however. included the seventy
two hours ending noon July G. total
OF 81 deaths were reported fer that
period. 21 OF which were infants undet
one year Of age. and 20 over sixty years
he fact is also interesting that onIy
nine deaths were recorded OF children
between one and ten years, inclusive.
This Is In accordance with a statement
made by the Health officer TO the effect
that a child's life was practically safe
when It passed the One-year mark.
The heat. coupled with improper care
and food, is responsible for the greater
number of infant deaths. while those
over sixty years died from most every
one OF the many causes common to old
age.

at first given little credence because of

Decided to Resign.

According to good authority. a promi-
nent statesman living in this city. who
had been closely identified officially with
previous Administrations, received Il
dispatch from Newport saying that at
noon Monday Secretary Hay had deter
mined upon leaving the Cabinet at once.
In brief. it was said the veteran diplo-
matist resented the issuance at the State
Department OF the statement sent out
from Oyser Bay anent the Kishinev
matter He held that II made his posi-
tion in the Cabinet untenable, as il COM
promised all his previous efforts TO
smooth over diplomatic tangles ard Sc
cure good results for this country in the
Manehurian business.
This view is fully appreciated by GER
tain officials in Washington, one of
whom said today:
Cause CT the Trouble.
Mr.. Hays reported attitude will be
readily understood by all who have ever
had any official business with him. His
relations with all the members of the
Diplomatic Corps have been most cordial.
for the simple reason that his yes has
always meant yes and his no. no. By
the recent assurance by Acting Secretary
Boorois.under somebody s direct orders, OF
an inspired statement taking an opposite
stand from that previously advanced by
the Secretary TO members Of the Diplo-
matte Corps. his position seems 10 have
become either that OF an official who ha>
not dealt squarely with his foreign col
leagues or else an indication that his
course IS not supported by the President
Of the United states. In either case the
Secretarys position is most delicate
one but l hope his visit to oyster Bay
will result in an announcement which
will not cause any sacrifice of his off,
cial dignity and certainly not call for his
pressing his resignation"
