Every neglected, wrongly treated
child becomes menace to the state.
Taking this for it's guiding principle
the National Congress of Mothers and
Parent Teachers Association, at its
third international congress, to be
held in Washington, April % to 9th,
will discuss what can be done by the
nation, the state, city, home, school,
and church to safeguard children
against becoming outcasts, criminals
and detectives.
The conference will be one of the
largest and most important ever held
by the congress. Official notice will
be taken of it, and it is expected that
President Wilson will welcome dele
gates to the capital. Addresses will
be made by leading educators and
many notable child experts are ex-
pected from abroad.
The program will be divided into
several sections deal; with the home
and the child, the church and the
child, the school, and its duties
towards children, and the state and
child welfare. Mothers and teachers
will come in for their share of in
struction the home as the most i'm
portant influence in the chil1's life
and the school as the supplementary
agent of the home will have their du-
ties clearly defined
From Wednesday evening, April
22nd, through Thursday, Friday, Sat
urday, Sunday and Monday, this great
meeting continues The topics for one
Of the sessions will show the practical
character Of the programs: Training
Children in Financial Responsibility,
Training for Good Citizenship
Changers to Youth from Lack of Home
Training, = When Your Girl Leaves
Home, -all presented by people who
know what they are talking about.
There will be round table discus
sion one afternoon in whicl the topics
will be "Parent-Teacher Associations
Solve National Problems, y Parent
Teacher Associations Make Every
School Social Centre, ETC.
1t is hoped that this convention,
meeting at our national capital at this
time, will have some effect upon i'm
portant legislation now pending, name
", the appropriation for the children IS
bureau. Last year, the appropriation
made this important bureau, at the
head of which is Miss Julia Lathrop,
was $4,000 which was one three
hundredth of the appropriation made
for the Bureau of Plant and Animal
Industry. IF Miss Lathrop gets as
she should this year the full amount
specified in the appropriation bill for
the Children's Bureau, it will be but
one-fftieth of that which the agricul-
tural interests received last year. It
is hoped that Legislators may be
brought to see that protection against
ehild-Hlight Is just as important to the
nation as protection against potato
blight
This association specifies one of its
aims to be-: To arouse the whole
country to a sense of its duty and
responsibility to childhood. =

BABIES LIVES IN DANGER.
Thoughtlessness of People Who Have
Children I'll With Disease Results in
Renewed Activity Among Health De
partment Officials-One Death.

Il va " 81 &
Grave fears are hing expressed by
physicians in the city on account of
the spread Of whooping cough among
the children of the city and the Of
fcials of the health department. are
meeting with lot of trouble in secur-
ing proper quarantine Of cases. The
first death in the city from Whooping
cough occurred on Tuesday evening
and this has brought a renewed ac-
tivity in hunting dow the cases of
the disease in Kenosha. People of the
city seem to have the idea that there
is little danger from whooping cough,
but this opinion is not shared by
prominent physicians in the city.
The report of the health department
this morning showed that at the pres
ent time there are forty-three quaran-
tines for whooping cough in Kenosha.
Five new cases were reported on Mon
day and Tuesday of this week. In
many cases the people are not taking
the proper precautions to prevent the
spread of the disease. Children. suf-
fering from whooping cough have been
permitted to play in the streets and
they have gone to the homes of others
thus spreading the disease. The ply
sicians have been doing everything
possible to prevent the spread of the
disease, but with the assurance that
reports Of cases of the disease will
bring the blue placard lot of people
nave refrained from calling physician
when the children are taken i'll with
the disease.
One of the leading physicians of the
city in speaking of the epidemic Of
whooping cough said: u am afraid
that Kenosha people are not taking
whooping cough seriously enough. A
lot of them have the idea that whoop-
ing cough is in no way dangerous and
they are very much surprised when
told that among children under the age
of one year it is proving more fatal
than either scarlet fever or diphtheria.
There may not be a great deal of dan
ger from the disease to children of
more mature age, but for the little
fellows it is very dangerous and I am
afraid that Kenosha will have many
deaths among the babies from whoop-
ing cough if something is not done to
make the people realize the danger of
its spread. There is no complaint to
be made against the health depart
ment as it is impossible for the de-
partment to establish guarantees I'M
til the cases have been reported by the
physicians or some interested citizen.
The health board is anxious to get
every possible aid from the people of
the city IN the movement to prevent
the spread Of whooping cough and to
this end people who know of cases
where guarantees have not been es-
tablished are urged to notify the health
department and prompt investigations
Will be made IN every case reported

Washington, April 22-President
Wilson is no longer fettered by an
unfavorable congress as this morn
ing the last string preventing his
declaration of war with Mexico
was severed when the senate by
vote of - to IS, adopted the adj
ministration resolution giving the
president full power to use the
United States in compelling Huerta
to make amends for insults to the
American flag. The resolution was
promptly concurred in by the
house and it was sent to the presi-
dent two minutes after twelve
'clock today Ten minutes later
the president received and signed
the joint resolution.
While the nation was waiting for
the action of the senate many rum
ors were ebroaG in Washington.
1t was declared that Charge de AT
fairs Nelson OiShaughnessey, had
been assassinated at Mexico City
on Tuesday night and that many
Americans had bees massacred in
the Mexican cites. The story of
the assault on the American charge
de affairs is discredited in Wash
ington and also in the City of
Mexico. Conditions began to look
more like actual warfare in Wash
ington today. Reports from the
City of Mexico were to the effect
that Provisional President Huerta
was planning to make dec a.
ton of war today. ne has al
ready requested the president of
the United States TO withdraw

State Bryan
A New York news bureau this
morning sent out a report that
Secretary Of State William Jen-
nings Bryan lad resigned, but this
is given no credence in official
circles.
In the meantime full report has
been received here Of the victori-
Gus entry of the American marines
into the City Of Vera Cruz and
they have taken possession of the
entire city. Under the cover of the
bombardment from the feet of
warships in the harbor of Vera
Cruz heavy detachments of blue
jackets and marines were landed
this morning to reinforce the
American troops who seized the
custom house and other points Of
Importance on Tuesday and to axe
the remainder CT the city. The
men were landed from the battle
ships Arkansas, Vermont, New Jer-
sey, New Hampshire and South
Carolina and brought the total of
the army o. occupation up to 1000
men all under the command of
Captain William R. Rush of the
Dreadnaught Florida. The Ameri-
can troops are now in control of
the entire city. Reports in icate
that great damage was done by
the bombardment of the American
feet. The severe fighting on the
part of Mexicans ended today
and the futu entry of the Ameri-
cans was without armed resistance.
Great excitement prevails at Vera
Cruz but the United States force is
considered sufficient to meet any
emergency.
