Some years ago Mr.. Ward was asked
for his views on American art, and
said:
II believe that the American people
are naturally rather more artistic than
any other branch of the so-called
Anglo-Saxon or North people; that
they have a native skill and certain
other qualities essential to the make
up Of q sculptor to a remarkable de-
gree; that they have vigorous
thought, a wholesome sentiment and
good imaginative or inventive quail

HOPE OF AvERT|NG
B|CSTR|KE IN GERMANY
Unless Disputes Can Be Ended
Soon 700, 900 Workmen
Will Be Idle.

BERLIN, September A.-German indus
try is seriously disturbed by strikes and
lockouts. Unless the disputes can be
workmen will be idle.
A ray of hope appeared today in the
announcement that negotiations would
begin Monday between the association of
metal employers and the metal trade
workers. An adjustment of the differ
ences in this trade will have great in
f1uence upon the situation in allied indus
tries
The total number of metal workers is
close to 100000 They have been finan-
cially assisting the striking shipbuilders,
and in order to cut off this aid the as
sociation Of metal employers recently de-
cided to lock out 60 per cent of its men
unless the shipbuilders returned to work
prior to October 8. In retaliation the
employees voted to declare strike of the
other 40 per cent in the event that the
threatened lockout Of 6O per cent of their
number was enforced.
The textile manufacturers of Cottbus,
Forst, Spremberg, Guben, Luckenwalde,
Somerfeld and Finsterwalde have notified
their 25,OOO employees that their mills will
be shut down October 5 unless the strik-
ing spinners at Forst return to work next
Tuesday. =
The 10000 striking shipbuilders show
no signs of weakening. The managing
committee of the socialist party is aiding
in the support Of the idle men.

INFANT MORTALITY HIGH.
Nearly Half Total Deaths of Chill
dren Under Five.

In the face of the falling off in the gen.
eral death rate in the United States dur.
ing 1900 the mortality report of the CEN
sus bureau for that year indicates an in
crease in infantile mortality.
The figures represent only slightly more
than half the population of the country
as they cover only the area in which
there are laws requiring the registration
of deaths. OF the 732, 53S deaths in that
area, 14O.O57. or almost e-fourth, were
of babies under one year old, and 1876, 534,
or almost p per cent of children under
FIVE years of age.
The lowest infantile rate was scored by
California and the highest by Pennsylva-
MIA and South Dakota. The low rate in
California is attributed to the compare
lively high mortality of adults due to i'm
ported diseases, and the high rate in the
other two states to the comparatively
high birth rate in those states.
The opinion is expressed that the death
Of many of the children could have been
prevented.
