II, unfortunately, 1t should be established

series of such mistakes, no one Of them ex-

Massacre of the Innocents

DEATH came to an eighth of the babies
- born In Philadelphia last year. Almost
5000 little lives were snuffed out by disease,
exposure or malnutrition. only two other
large cities in the United States-Baltimore
and Chicago-exceeded Philadelphia's infant
death rate of 1918 per thousand births even
overcrowded New York appreciated her sltu-
alton, and drove the rate down to 94.s by the
fine work of her child hygiene division.
Opponents of housing laws men who see
no necessity for the most rigid milk inspec-
tion legislators who pooh-pooh every com
munal effort toward a healthier, safer city,
should ponder Philadelphia's unenvable
record. II they cannot appreciate the social
wastage, they must at least feel the terrible
weight of mental pain which those 5000 little
deaths brought on anxious parents.
There are few very simple things that
housing are primary. But even more i'm
portant is knowledge. The mother who
knows how to care for her baby and when
to call for the expert advice of the doctor is
the mother who sees her baby grow up into
healthy childhood To spread that knowledge

ENTHUSIASM FOR EVENING LEDGER

To the Editor OF the Evening Ledger:
Sir-The Ataboi Country Club, composed OF
and rehectng to a great extent the opinion OF
young Italian Americans, has instructed me, as
its president, to tell you Of the tremendous wave
of enthusiasm that is sweeping over the Italian
colony in favor OF your paper, the EVENING
LEDGER.
The generous policy you are pursuing In the
treatment of news relating to the entrance OF
Italy into the conflict now raging abroad has
aroused much favorable comment. The most
prominent men. we'll the most humble in
the Latin Quarter, have almost come to look
upon your paper as their official organ and are
delighted with the well-written authoritative
articles, both in English and Italian, which are
daily part of your issues.
1t certainly gives me great pleasure personally
to write you these few lines of commendation.
for know this opinion is accurate reflection
of the sincere feeling toward the EVENING
LEDGER in the entire colony. We trust the
good work will continue and increase the grow
ing prestige of one of the best newspapers in
the city. CHARLES NJ. BANDIERE

be got rid of. Losing his father in boyhood,
Lord Lansdowne came into the family titles,
of which there are some fourteen; the family
estates-half a dozen in number and includ-
ing about 100000 acres of land-and a seat
in the House of Lords, all on his twenty-flrs

The American fame of Reginald McKenna,
the Home Secretary who now becomes Chan
cellor of the Exchequer, is due in large part
to the militant suffragists. 1t was he who
decided who should be forcibly fed and how.
who should be released at tho critical stage of
a hunger strike and who that threw missiles
at a Cabinet Minister should be reckoned
a "hrst-cla misdemeanant." He was de-
nounced all along by the anti ministerial
press as having caused by his weakness the
whole suffragette crisis. Throughout his
career, likewise, his successive promotions
have been ascribed to his most egregious
faulty. He has ever been described as a
nullity in thought and action. This is the
professed view of his political opponents
but the view of friendly interpreter is IS
different as can well be imagined. McKenna
is said to have the cold logical mind OF a
John Stuart Mill In the nervous organiza-
ton of a Disraeli. He has that supreme
genius for self -effacement of which born
leaders are made. He reads men as If they
were books. His public speeches. while ex-

Billions for South America

COUTH AMERICANS in Washington this
- week are looking to the United States to
finance their countries. They have hitherto
looked to Europe. The greater part of their
total national debts, amounting to s2,OO0,000
900, is held in Europe, and the interest on it
is paid by shipment of South American
products to European markets.
But Europe can no longer finance the rest
Of the world. Instead. it is looking outside
for money with which to finance its own
war South America must get money here
or go without it. If it had not been for the
revision of the banking laws and the crea-
ton of the Federal Reserve Banks the
United States would have been unable to
finance any country Our banking reserves,
however. are now mobile, and they have in
creased the loaning power of the country to
such extent that we could buy all the
South American bonds held in Europe and
then have more than a billion dollars left
for further loans. The president of the Ma
tional City Bank of New York, which has
opened branch in South America, has re-
minded the pan-Amer1can delegates of the
enormous financial resources of the United
States, and has held out to them the hope
OF such relief they may need.
Chicago bankers are planning to follow the
example of the New York bank by opening
offices in the South American capitals and
seeking to attract business by way of the
Panama Canal and the Mississippi Valley
They and all other students of the situation
are aware that so long as South America
settles it's debts in the United States by ex-
change drawn on London American trade
must suffer.

TT MAY be that Judge German has per-
4 formed for the Juvenile Court the most
splendid possible service by determining to
withdraw from it. His intense interest in
the work permits of no doubt that he would
have continued in it had there been any pos
sibility whatever under existing conditions
of achieving the results that ought to be
achieved.
His withdrawal, therefore, emphasizes as
would not have been possible otherwise the
supreme necessity of that special legislative
enactment without which, the Supreme Court
has said, the Juvenile Court is lmpotent to
perform certain natural and imperative func-
tons Judge Germans action brings the un-
fortunate condition dramatically before the
