THE young girls who act as little mothers
of their small brothers and sisters are
the greatest cause of infant mortality among
the poor"
Pediatrists generally concede this severe
arraignment to have been fairly true when
made some four or five years ago by John
Spargo in one of his books dealing with the
East Side. 1t is not true today.
For three years these same Little Mothers
have been one of the greatest factors in re-
ducing infant mortality. Two years ago
an eminent health authority publicly called
attention to them, under their present or
ganization, as @The largest life saving corps
in the world
In authoritative confirmation of this an
official of the New York Board of Health
declared to the writer that if the infantile
death rate of 1907 had continued there
would have been seven thousand additional
death rate among infants in New York City
was one hundred and forty-four to the thou
sand. In 1912 the rate had been reduced to
one hundred and five. During the first
eleven months of 1913 the rate had been
forced down into the nineties. A worth
while record!
This statement becomes even more inter-
esting, and certainly doubly important,
when the same authority explains this re-
markable saving of infant lives to be due
almost entirely to the cooperation and per-
sonal efforts Of the Little Mothers. There
appears ample proof that these young bear
ers of home burdens, who were once unwit-
tingly one of the chief causes of infant NOR
tality, as a result of ignorance, have through
some radical change been converted into one
of the greatest means of reducing it.
AND-yes, woman worked the wonder.
There was Prussian King who said,
Three things are necessary for war
money, money, and more money To
this Dr. Linn adds, @To reduce and pre-
vent infant mortality three things are also
necessary,-education education, and more
education"
These last are the three essentials that
have been applied persistently, consistently,
and successfully by S. Josephine Baker,
since the beginning few years ago of the
Bureau of Child Hygiene in New York City,
Of which she was appointed director, which
is claimed to be the first organization OF its
kind in the United States.
During the first year of its existence, 1908,
talks were given by doctors, nurses, and
teachers to schoolgirls over twelve, relat-
ing to the care of babies In 1909 practical
classroom demonstrations were added.
The principal object of these was to teach
the girls what to do for baby by having
them do it themselves, how to handle
baby, how to bathe it, feed it, dress it, hold
tall the exacting details of the Little
Mothers profession. Although the work
was strictly matter of education, the in
struction was so arranged that the girls got

thing, that thing is not work,
but play.
At the end of twelvemonth
the constantly attending Little
Mothers had thoroughly learned
how to handle and what to do
for normal baby, from the sim
pie rules for outdoor airing to the
delicate question of foods and
feeding. However, they put their
newly gained knowledge into
practice as individuals, each little
baby caretaker to herself.
AT this point DR.. Baker was
u possessed of an inspiration.
Why not amalgamate these
trained and qualified units into
concrete, systematized organiza-
ton in service for the benefit
of the whole community They
had been taught how to care for
their babies: now let them care
for or offer Instruction for the
care of other babies. They we're
willing enough.
The formation of the Little
Mothers Leagues was begun by
DR.. Baker in 1910. Following
the preliminary lecture for that
year the lecturer announced that
a Little Mothers League would
be then and there formed of all
girls over twelve willing to act
as voluntary aids of the Depart
ment of Health in its efforts to
reduce infant mortality. To each

girl who volunteered the response to
the call was as prompt and united as If they
had been asked en- masse to an icecream
treat-a certificate of membership was
issued. After the girl had shown her
sincerity by attending six meetings she re-
ceived silver badge.
Seventy -one leagues were formed in 1910
The following year one hundred and eighty
three leagues had been organized, with a
membership of more than twenty thousand
girls.
DR.. Baker explained to the writer that a
weekly meeting washeld throughout the sum-
in convenient halls. The Health Depart
ment furnishes to each league the lecturer
and equipment necessary for demonstrating
and teaching infant feeding. care, and hy-
giene. At each meeting the lecturer takes
up some specific phase of baby care, the at
tending nurse concretely demonstrates the
subject, and the Little Mothers are required
to carry out each part of the work.
Following these talks the members write
essays, and even compose and act little
playlets, on some newly discovered way to
keep Baby well; while daily reports are
kept of the many ways in which they have
helped to save babies lives or protect their
health.
In furthering the work of better and more
intelligent feeding, the Little Mothers regu-
larly make flat-to-fat canvass among the
tenements, tactfully offering advice and as
sistance, and particularly to refer mothers
to the infant milk stations, where they may
secure milk properly modified for use under
indicated conditions and receive scientific
instructions as to feeding.
Although DR.. Baker has been unable to
give of her closely economized time to
campaign of extension outside New York,
the Little Mothers League plan is rapidly
being adopted in cities throughout the couIl-
try by those interested in the promotion and
advancement of child hygiene.
THE leagues have been successful since
their adoption" says DR.. Baker, @and,
although no millennium has been reached,
New York now has an army of Little
Mothers equipped with the knowledge that
means not only baby saving now, but intelli-
gent motherhood for the next generation,
and l believe that no single feature in our
efforts to stop the annual unnecessary
slaughter of babies has ever offered such
potential possibilities.
"The training of girls in the essentials of
infant hygiene and care has three direct re-
sults,-first, in assuring more intelligent care
of their little charges; secondly, as an edu-
cational influence in the family; and
thirdly, in fitting them for the duties of
motherhood.
Perhaps the most interesting feature of
the work. she concludes, @has been the
spirit of the girls themselves no seh-con-
sciousness, no thought other than that it

Russians Continue Advance.

LONDON, Nov. 2O.-The Russian army continues to advance its wings in spite of the check to the center of the army in Poland. The force in East Prussia has made considerable advance today and is driving the kali ser's troops back towards the Ale river. The southern wing of the army is pushing it's operations against the Austrians in Galicia, who are re- ported in a serious position and may be forced to fight under favorable conditions.
 Poland Battle May Decide the War.
 Military experts here believe that the battle now on in Poland will have a marked effect upon the length of the war. A German defeat would result in the invasion of Silesia, the richest province in Germany, and would cut off Austria from Germany, prevent cooperation of the two coun- tries and allow the invasion of eith- CT as the plans of the Russians dic- tated.
 German Victory Prolono War.
 A German victory would prolong the war indefinitely. The Russians would be forced to abandon the win ter campaign in East Prussia and al' so all along the line and would wait until new levies of men and more equipment could be secured for the army.

LONDON, Nov. 20.-The reports from Russia indicate that the Ger man attacks upon the Russian cen ter in Poland continue and the kai ser's troops have beaten their way for 40 miles into Poland. The Rus sian wings in East Prussia and Cali. cia, however. have continued to ad. vance but it is feared by military men here that the East Prussian campaign must be abandoned by the czar in order to protect his center.
 Russians Still Fleeing.
 In spite of the efforts of the Rus. sian commanders to rally their men the Russian rout continues and the men are fleeing towards Warsaw, throwing away arms and abandoning guns in the mad rush for safety.
 Germans Receiving Endorsements.
 The kaiser has taken the pick of his army from France and Is rushing strong attachments of the first line of the German army to reinforce General Hindenberg, who is com manding the operations in Poland.

LIND TALKS 0F
 MEXICAN AFFAIRS Says No Lasting Peace Can Be Es- tablisFed Until Land Is Divided
 Among the People.

CHICAGO, Nov, 2O.-John Lind, former governor of Minnesota and for two years special representative of President Wilson in Mexico, spoke here last night to the Industrial Club on Mexican affairs.
 Governor Lind stated that no last ing peace could be established in Mexico until the land question was settled and the owners of large es- tates. often as large an area as a western state, are forced to sell the land to the people and its division into small ranches and farms.
 The land system has prevented the industrial advance of the republic, the big ranch owners preferring to hold the lands for stock raising to renting it for forming purposes. With the system has grown up condition likened by the speaker to slavery-a ruling class and the slaves. The slaves are in revolt against the masters and until the demands are granted the war will be renewed time and again, no matter what measure of success the ruling class may temporarily se- cure through the military branch of the government.

Alaska Steamers Are To Avoid 6rouohton Passage, Which Is Min
 ed, and Use Weynton Passage.

SEATTLE, Nov. 20.-The steamers Cf the Alaska Steamship Company will resume the inside sailings here after. The British admiralty have ar. ranged for the use of the Weynton Passage between Vancouver Island and the mainland. The Broughton passage is to be closed and heavily mined, while Weynton passage is defend end batteries have been erect. ed on the bluffs overlooking the pass. age and the coast guards are ready to repel any attack by the German fleet. No mines are to be used in Weynton passage.
 The steamer Alameda, now en route north, circled outside of Van couver Island and entered the in- side passage at Queen Charlotte Sound, but owing to the dangerous coast line of Vancouver Island the steamship managers were anxious to make the passage all inside or all outside and when today the officials at Vancouver announced that Weyn. ton passage was open and could be used the companies immediately availed themselves of the new route.
