London. March 2S--The govern

OF the coal strike. The figures avail
able are appalling and unless Steps
are Immediately taken TO check the

ulation will be wiped on, by death.
The health officer at Manchester
has reported 10 the government Of
ficials that the mortality there is av-
eragiug between 81 10 l35 in every
900 children under the age OF five.
He place the blame entirely on the
inability of the parents 10 procure
suitable food Many mothers OIL

no proper food for more than q fort

able 10 properly nourish their on

boards are able 10 make.
Similar reports are received from
every contested district where trace

problem OF relief is a most serious
one, and il the strike is not ended by

VOTERS TAKE NOTICE.

am very anxious for the voters OF
Alexandria to understand thorough
" that | am seeking their support
for the office of Mayor, with the prom
Use to do all in my power for better
streets, better schools and more
modern city conditions, believing that
our progress in the future should be
far ahead of such progress as we
have made in the past.
There seems to be a desire on the
part of some, to inject issues into the
campaign which do not properly be-
long there. and although this is very
unfortunate, yet, it will of necessity
be met and fought out when the prop
er time comes, if the actual issues
continue to be confused with imag-
mary ones, for purely political pur-
poses.
strongly urge the voters to real
ize that the actual issues are of the
greatest Importance, as there are a
great number of cities, several OF
which are right in Virginia, who have
grown and prospered by their own
efforts, and have not become bank
rupt in doing so, but instead, have m
creased their city's wealth, their peo-
ple's wealth and their peoples earn
ing power past anything Alexandria
has known in recent years.
We have the natural advantages,
and | stand for developing them along
progressive lines, believing that a
majority of our people are tired Of
having their progress blocked by OBJ
solete ideas when it can be obtained
by progressiveness
This is not political issue, but 1t
is a business issue that every man
who expects Alexandria to be his fu-
ture home or the future home OF MS
children must meet sQuareIy ana
fight out.

Suicide of Deserted Husband.

Philip S. Hichborn, son Of the late
Rear Admiral Hichborn, committed
suicide late yesterday afternoon at
the home of his sister, Mrs. Paul
Pearsall, of 1901 Eighteenth street,
Washington. He shot himself in the
temple with an automatic army re-
volver and died almost. instantly
Dependency and humiliation are as
cribed as motives for the act.
Philip S. Hichborn was the only
son of the late Rear Admiral and
Mrs. Philip Hichborn. His marriage
to Miss Elenore Hoyt, eldest daugh-
ter of the late Solicitor General and
Mrs. Henry NJ. Hoyt, took place De-
cember II, 1906, at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. Hoyt, 1701 Rhode Island av-
enue. The bride, who had made her
debut the previous winter, was con.
sidered one of the most beautiful girls
ever presented to Washington soci-
ETY.. She was a granddaughter of
Morton McMichael, OF Philadelphia
on her mothers side, and of former
Gov. Hoyt of Pennsylvania, on her
fathers side, and with her beauty and
accomplishments was early a belle
In 1910 she eloped with Horace
Wylie, clubman and social leader
The affair caused great sensation at
the time. Mrs. Hichborn left a son
with her husband, and Wylie desert
ed a wife and four children.

field guns and ten rapid firers and
commanded by General Aubert are re-
