DANGEROUS TO BABIES
Twilight Sleep Is Abandoned by Several
New York Hospitals.

New York, April 22.-"Twilight sleep"
has been abandoned by two hospitals and
it's use restricted in a majority of hos
pitfalls in this city. The reason given by
ph ysicians in charge of the hospitals is
that the percentage of deaths among the
babies is too great.
The Polyclinic Medical School and
Hospital, and the City Hospital Black
wells Island have. abandoned the treat
ment and 1T has been restricted, among
others by the Jewish Maternity hospital
and the Sloan Maternity hospital.
DR.. A. J. Rongy, In charge of the treat
ment at the Jewish Maternity hospital.
said:
1--WE use the twilight sleep only in
selected cases and we recognize that it's
universal use would be dangerous. How
ever, we find it is a good thing in many
instances
DR.. Edwin B. Cragin of the Sloan Ma
ternity, said:
THE mortality among mothers has not
been more than above normal. I think,
however, that twilight sleep increases the
mortality among the babies"

That means that Friday must be the
greatest day in the campaign thus far;
some strenuous efforts are being made
by the forces in the field.
When the respective team captains
read the reports to-day it was
discovered that there was $3.50 lack
ing to make an even $4,000. j. c.

GERMANS ARE

NEW STROKES
SHOW ACTIVITY ON TIL E
EASTERN AND WEST
ERN FRONTS.
Operations at Standstin In the
Balkans - Next Move
Is Awaited.

LONDON. Dec. It. 10 p. m.-While
the diplomats In Greece and Rumania
are engaged in new deals which viii
decide the next step in the Balkan
operations there Is increasing evidence
that the Germans. ever restive. are
preparing new strokes on both the
eastern and western fronts. OF at
least a concentration of their forces
TO strike when conditions are propi-
tious.
Dispatches from Petrograd note
German activity. particularly in the
Dvinsk district which would accord
with the German ambition to reach
the line OF the Dvina river. while all
accounts from neutral countries men
tfon a continued movement Of men and
guns 10 the west. In the latter thea
ter OF operations II seems only ques-
ton at what points the offensive is TO
be taken.
Many persons believe that the Ger
mans. having found the lines in Fland-
ers and Artois nuts to hard TO crack,
contemplate moving In the Saint
Mihiel region. where their line pene-
trates to the river Meuse and where
there has been considerable activity
during the last few days. The only
thing argud against this is that the
river has been at flood and the French
have been systematically destroying
the bridges as they were rebuilt Thus
far. however, there has been little
more than the usual mining and bomb
ing operations and aerial fighting IN
the west.
Suspended In Balkans.
In the Balkans military operations
are temporarily at a standstill. ex-
cept in Montenegro and Albania
where the Austrians and Bulgarians
are carrying on mountain warfare
against King Nicholas troops and the
Servians. A big battle is in progress
in the valley OF the Albanian or Black
Drin river between the Servians and
Bulgarians. At last reports no deci-
sion had been reached in the fighting.
II Is said. however. that the Bulgar-
ians. who crossed the river found the
Serbs had reformed. and were driven
back with heavy losses. IL is possible
that the Servian counterattacks were
made possible by supplies having
reached them from the Italians who
landed on the Albanian coast and who
are trying to open communications
with the Serbs through that country,
The Italians Il Is understood, already
have landed eighty thousand men.
