INFANT MORTALITY.

Miss Julia Lathrop chief of the new federal Chill
drens Bureau says in her first annual report, that
10000 babies under year of age die in year as
the result of neglect.
Someone has said that it is more dangerous to be
baby under five years Of age than to be over so
years of age The death rate is bigger.
1t is a curious fact that hard times decrease infant
mortality. Prosperity raises the baby death rate.
For when times are good, the mothers go into the
mills There they make the tragic trade of child life
in exchange for the money that is supposed to buy
more happiness and comfort.
When the Lancashire mills Of England were shut
down as the result of the American Civil War and
consequent cotton famine the death rate of adults in
that hungry and haggard district showed marked in
crease, But the death rate of infants was smaller.
The natural food Of infants even with i'll nour
ished mother is more wholesome than food that
seems better from the adult viewpoint if it is accom-
panied by neglect.
OF course the needless infant mortality is larger
among the ignorant population a big slice of it in
families of newcomers just arrived from the coarser
sections Of Europe When the immigrant baby is
sick the doctor is the last to be called Previous
y council of neighhofS and friends is held The
conclave assemblies in the sick ROOM the smoking.
The air is nearly thick enough to stile well person,
let alone the little bud Of life fading the pillow
AS last resort the physician comes. But it is too
late
Doctor no good says the neghborhood as the
relatives gather for the funeral But the underakers
bin is enough to have paid the doctors several times
over had he been called in time.

FEAR VILLA PLANS TO

Formal announcement TO the United
States Of the resignation OF Huerta and
the succession Of CarbajaI as provisional
president was made to the State De-
paTtment yesterday by Ambassador
Riano, the Spanish envoy who represents
Mexico in Washington.

Villas attitude toward the new shaping
of conditions continues to give the Car

do. The latter, they say. is merely a

Admiral Badger reported to the Navy
Department yesterday that the court of
inquiry which had been investigating pub

piled the ley de Fuga," ruthlessly
shooting Mexican prisoners taken in the
capture Of Vera Cruz, had completed its
lsbors and found the charges unsubstanti-

The court of inquiry was ordered as
the result Of an article published in
certain newspapers in the United States,
for which Fred L, Boalt. Of the News

the government which the constitution
alists are 70 set up In Mexico City. II is
fully appreciated by both parties that
on the conduct OF the constitutionalists
from this moment forward depends

recognition and support OF Washington
The present desidsratum Of Washing
ton u that Carbajal and carranza,
through their representatives. agree on
some orderly procedure for the transfer
OF power and the actual occupation OF
Mexico, City by the eonstitutionalists
The United States has made known to
the constitutionalists that ID expects Car
rama to enter an arrangement with the
new Mexican president While Wash
ington looks to carbaJal to make prac-
tcally an unconditional surrender of
Mexico City. at the same time It has
signifed TO carranIa that II win expect
OF him no undue severity or harshness
in his demands on carbajaI
To Issue Proclamation.
While the eonstitutionaIists are deter
mined that nothing sheiI be permitted TO
interfere with their complete possession
Of Mexico City and the reins Of govern
ment under military procedure, II 10
stated by their Representatives that they
are willing TO give due Consideration to
certain rights OF the people Of the city.
II 10 now thought likely that carranza,
prior to his occupying Mexico City. will
issue q proclamation setting forth his
views as TO what measure OF amnesty Is
to be granted 10 political offenders, what
measure Of protection may be expected
by owners, and particularly. what the
new government purposes to do regarding
the clergy and their vast properties.

Senator Burton, Of Ohio, and Senator
Kenyon. Of Iowa, are leading q hlibuSter

bids fair to defeat the bill or lead TO a
modification Of some Of the appropria-
tions in IT. One Senator predicted yes
terday that II the bill got through the

would be cut down from Is TO 10 per cent.
Senator Burton believes the bill Is utterly
bad and ought to be beaten. and he has
confidence that II win fail He said yes

possible for ths defects IN Il TO be cured

item but allow his own TO remain.

without mental fatigue. for some time.
