Lessons of Commerce in War

whether the SOLUTION OF our diff
eulties lies in government owned
merchant marine, I am not prepared to
say, but | am prepared to affirm that
the lessons of commerce in this war
teach us that in times of peace every
advantage and benefit should be given
to vessels flying the American flag to
the end that in the time of war, wheth-
er we be neutrals or belligerents, they
may serve the commercial and martial
needs of this country"

DEMAND GREECE
 ID DE MOBILIZE
CABINET MET TO CONSIDER SIT. LAYTON. AND ITS ATTITUDE
 SHOULD BE KNOWN SOON.
GERMANS TAKE N0vIPAzAR
It Is Said the Servians Are Now Max ing What May Be Their Last Stand Before Monastir and Also on
 the Plains of KossoVo.

London-The entente allies have demanded that Greece either join with them and fulfill her treaty obli- gation to Servia or demobilize and to impress King Constantine that they mean what they say, the allies have declared commercial blockade of the Hellenic empire, according to Athens dispatches.
 There is no confirmation of these statements here, but it is certain that Lord Kitchener, the British war sec retary, who had an hours audience with the king of Greece. and after ward saw Premier Skouloudis, took a firm stand.
 The Greek cabinet met to consider the situation and a few hours should show Greece's attitude. The Greek government again has affirmed It's friendliness to the allies, but has not taken the steps required to prevent Greece from being counted among the friends of the central powers.
 The entente allies will not permit any delay; the position of the Servian armies makes any prolongation of the present uncertainty impossible. Al ready the Servians are making what may be their last stand before Mona stir and also on the plains of Kos soyo.
 The Bulgarians. it is true, are being held up by unfavorable weather con ditions, but they must be almost at the gates of the Macedonian capital and the Austro-Germans and Buiga- rians are slowly but surely pressing back the northern army.
 The Germans announce the capture of NoyipaZar and are therefore on the direct road to Mitrovitza, which has been the Servian capital since Nish fell into the hands of the Bull garians.

ENTENTE SEEK 10
 HAVE CHINA ENLIST
WASHiNGToN'S ATTENTION is ATTRACTED TO COMPLICATED
 SITUATED IN FAR EAST.

Washington.-Efforts are being made by Great Britain, France anc Russia to include China in the mem bership of the entente Washington's attention is attracted to compli cated situation in the Far East, tht seriousness of which had not beer realized.
 In order to insure friendly relations between Japana and China, conversa tions have been proceeding in Pelkine and the European capitals looking tt the formal entrance of China on aI equal footing with Japan into the al lance.
 Military participation by China 1T the var would not be expected, bu the political necessity of adding Chi ma to the allies is considered of vas importance. Recently several Japan csc warships were placed at strategic points along the Chinese coast anC the possibility of internal revolution in China through the proposed change from republic to parliamentary mon afchy had caused some japanese off cials to believe munitions of Wa should be husbanded for emergencies When the recent Japanese Chinese ne gotiations were in progress, JapaI felt compelled to hold her ammunition supply for developments, which em barrassed Russia considerably.
 Most of the conversations have been conducted at Picking, and 1t l. not clear how far the proposal ha. been discussed with the Japanese gov ernment. It is believed Great Britai, has consulted Tokio freely.
 China is said to be favorably in elined to the proposal since the nov, would guarantee the integrity of Chi ma during the present disturbed con dition of world politics and safeguard her interests at the peace conference Some rumors are that the plan origi mated with the Chinese. who saw |; means of checkmating possible Japa nese aggression.
 The feeling in China against Japal has been growing on account of thu recent negotiations and the possfbfl ity that more friendly spirit migh be developed between the two Orien tai countries is said to be a factor il behalf of Japanese approval of tn, plan.

MOTHER CONSENTS
 TO LET BABY DIE
DECLARED OPERATION WOULD HAVE SAVED LIFE, BUT WOULD
 BE IMsEciLE AND CRIPPLED.

Chicago.-Mrs. Anna BoIlinger told the story of her consent to let her six-day-old son, deformed in body and mind, died, rather than live q life bar ren and useless
 The mother, confined to her bed in the German-American hospital, agreed with Dr. H. J. Haiselden, chief of the hospital staff, to sacrifice the child when simple operation would assure its life. The infant if it lives, would, in the opinion of Dr Hafsel- den, be a mental and perhaps moral defective. He, therefore. with the con sent of the childs parents, declined to perform the operation.
 Tt is not heartless to me- Mrs Bollinger said. "I loved the poor little deformed one as love my three other healthy children. But the doctor told me it would be cripple all it's lile- probably an imbecile and possibly a criminal. 1 gave my consent to it's death. Left to itself, if had no chance to live. l consented to let nature take its course
 No one need to think me an un- natural mother. This poor little one. if allowed to live, would be barren, useless. 1t is one of natures blunders, and l am willing that nature shoald correct It's error by my baby's death. l am satisfied l am doing right"
 Dr. Haiselden said he was prepared to face bitter criticism and defend his course.
 'I have no doubt that I shall be called murderer" he said, but the infants death is a question between me and my conscience"

The highest praise os Dr. J. L. Greene. former superintendent of tha State Hospital for Nervous Diseases and rather pointed -icism of the members of the old State Charities Board is contained in the report filed with Governor Hays by Representa-. tive w Q Young of Bentonvills one of the five members of the legislative committee that investigated tho af- fairs Of the old board
 MT YoHng's report IS the second to be filed by members of the investigate ing committee lt largely follows the lines of the report previously Med by Senators J. o. \ Bush and John L. Carter. The principal difference lies in MT Young's criticism of the old boards attitude and conduct. Senator Bush and Senator Carter made little or no criticism Of the old board
 Also he said he hoped all members of the Investigating eommitte would sign his report. From remarks that have been made by Representative Lee Cazort and Joe Joiner. 1t Is con. sdered doubtful if they would agree te de this. Also there Is some doubt whether Senators Bush and Carter would join in Mir Young's criticism of the old board
 MT Youngs report gives history of the work of the committee in al most the identical words of Senator Bushs and Garter's report. It quotes a resolution endorsing the work of Dr. ]. l.. Greene as superintendent of the State Hospital for Nervous Dis eases. adopted by the Arkansas Medt cal Society, which also was contained in the Bush-Garter report. MT. Youngs report reprints the charges against Dr. Greene by the old Chari- ties Beard, which the Bush-Carter re. port did not The report reeites part of the evidence of former pa. tients before the committee and the Investigating regarding the building of the central heating and power plant at the state hospital in much the same way as did the Bush-Carter report.
