New York Establishes
New Lou Death Record
of 1858 Per Thousand

New York, Oct 17.-New York's
claim to being the healthiest city in
the country has been further strength
ened by the establishment Of a new
low death record Of loss per thous-
and. This is the lowest in the history
OF the city and it is the second time
this year that the death rate per
one thousand Of the population has
gone below the figure IL The new
low rate is 154 below the rate for the
corresponding week last year. this
lowering, small as il may appear, be-
ing equivalent to 165 deaths.
As might be expected from the de-
creased mortality. different causes of
death have shown a decrease, practi-
caIly all down the line. All the in
fectious diseases. without exception,
show such a decrease. This being es-
peciaIly true Of deaths reported from
diphtheria, Group, typhoid and pneu-
mOnia-the only cause Of death that
showed an increase was pulmonary
tuberculosis.
Viewed from the point Of age group
ing, a tremendous decrease in the NOR
tally Of infants under one year Of age
is shown and a very considerable de-
crease between one and five years of
age-an indication that the persistent
efforts in behalf Of the infant popuIa-
ton are bearing fruit

Small Clique of New York
Men Gets Europe's War
News Before the Paper,

New York, Oct 1.-THE extent to
which the European war has been
fought out in New York has lust been
brought to light here to the surprise Of
practically every inhabitant of the city.
On good authority IL IS now asserted
that a small clique OF men in the finan-
cial district have been keeping in
closer touch with the hOstilities in En-
rope than any newspaper or govern
ment official According to the infOr
nation these men meet every afternoon
at a place, the location of which is not
divulged and receive there the latest
and most authentic dispatches from the
allied armies According to the au
thority in question they are in close
touch with Officialdom, but have no
official standing It is stated that
the British ambassador. sir Cecil Spring
Rice knows about their dOings but
never communicates with them, and
the same applies TO the British consul
general in this city.
1t is said that the secret purpose
OF this organization is to influence
sentiment in behalf Of the allies. and
though they have adopted an opposite
method to the champions of the Ger
man cause such as ambassador Won
Bernstorf, Oscar Straus. Herman Rid
der and others who have come out
openly, II is said that they have done
effective work The Wall street men
might be termed a board of strategy
Tor IN Ihelr meeting place they have
been able to calculate TO a nicely be-
forehand the successive steps Of the
war. In its initial stages they ap-
peared to know that the Germans
would fail to take Paris and predicted
instead with great assurance that the
kaisers army would be stretched out
over a wide space and driven back by
thanking movements
In this, events have borne them out,
but what the next step will be they
either cannot or will not saw Az
though in formation from the other
side is naturally much DELAYED il is
much Of mystery as to how these
men manage to get their information
so far ahead of the rest Of the country.
