u. S. DEATH RATE
FAR TOO HIGH
c. f. A. WinsloW Declares That
Forty Per Cent of Annual
Toll Is Needless.

Philadelphia, Dec 29-"It is tragic
that million or so OF men should
have persisted in battle during the last
six months Of 1914, and that many
more should have been wounded" c. +.
4. Winslow, Of New York, said to-day
to the American Association for the
Advancement Of Science. at is also
tragic" he added, that a million and
a half men, women and children should
have died in 1914 in the United States,
and that some three million people
should be on the sick list all the time.
"The most fearful thing about the
war" Mr.. Winslow continued, lis that
it seems 20 US at this distance so wan
tonly needless. Yet we are told on
good authority that over 40 per cent
OF our annual toll of civil death and
suffering is needless also"
Mr.. Winslow, who is director of the
division Of education and publicity
Of the New York State Department OF
Health, advocated a closer study Of
preventabe diseases and more serious
attention 10 ths conservation of public
health.
"The United States spends each year
s300,000,000 for protection against hu-
man enemies. who will probably never
come" Mr.. Winsl)w said. Surely we
can spare one-half this sum for foes
who will surely and inevitably kill a
million and half OF our people this
year If we do not stop the slaughter"
There is evidence that American
vitality as compared to British vitality
is waning, according 10 DR.. Eugene l..
Fisk, of New York, who gave the pace
set by Americans in every day life as
one of the reasons for this condition.
In Great Britain, he said, the mortality
from disease OF the heart, blood yes
sells and kidneys had remained sta
tionary for thirty years, but in the
United States registration area, in the
same period. there had been an in
crease of So per cent, he said.
Dr. Fisk said periodic examination
OF citizens in directing the early stages
of these maladies was important.

N.Y.LONDON'S
AS FINANCE CENTRE
Conference of Americas
Called with Object OF
Winning Supremacy.

Washington, Dec 20. - All Central
and South American nations have been
invited by the United States govern
ment to send their ministers Of finance
and leading bankers TO Washington for
p conference with Treasury Depart
ment officials and fnsnciers OF this
country on financial and commercial
problems confronting the two Americas
as result of the European war Ac-
ceptances already have been cabled by
several Of the countries, and the con-
ference probably will be held early IN
the spring.
Invitations for the gathering were
sent formally through the embassies
and legations here. The plan original
ed with Secretary McAdoo Of the
Treasury Department, but Secretary
BRYAN and President Wilson have
taken an active interest in putting IT
into execution. The visitors will come
as the guests Of the United States.
Officials of the State, Treasury and
Commerce departments look forward
10 the conference as an important step
toward bringing the two American con-
tinen.s into a closer commercial rels-
tionship than ever before. They point
ONT that in the Pan-American move
ment lies the hope of South America
for financial independence OF Europe
and suggest the possibility OF New oTh
becoming at least a serious competitor
with London for supremacy as world ;
financial centre.
IL has long been recognized that the
erux OF the difficulties IN the way OF
commerce between the United States
and other American nations lies IN the
question of credits. South and central
American buyers have been accustomed

credits in Europe. o..

By HUGH W. ROBERTS


 George Holmes Smith, who lives in Luverne and who will represent Cren- shaw county in the legislature. was born in Montgomery February 12 1871. Nat urally, he soon tired of the Capital City and moved to Wetumpka. There he re- sided for along period of time. and as proof of his exemplary conduct he was twice elected mayor While he was serv- ing as mayor his people heaped honors on another member of the family. His brother, Lamar Smith, was sent to the Legislature.
 The subject of this sketch is now en- gased in the retail drug business in Lu- verne. He is married and is the father of two children He is a democrat and Presbyterian, and holds membership in the following secret orders, Knights of Pythias, Woodmen of the world, Red Men and Royal Arch Masons He has never served in the legislature, and believes With many others that this fact will prove to be one of his most valuable assets.
 MT. smith holds that the state Is spend- ing too much money. Therefore, he will oppose all large and unnecessary appro- prlations. And he will vote to abolish the motor vehicle department. county boards or registrars, excise commissioners, the office of state prison inspector, the bureau or cotton statistics and the chancellor ships of all the districts of the state.. He will vote to reduce the salaries of all state officials and to reduce the force in each department of the capitol. and to can the climax. he would put an end to an
