We have no ammunition factories in

we have been able to install at least
a few of the machines needed in the

Continued analysis cannot but dis close that nearly every resident of the United States will indirectly share in some degree in the disbursement of this great sum of money In every degree the spending of this huge amount of money spells an added prosperity to host of people. Money spent in the United States for American products will give employment to American labor and this is perhaps the greatest benefit to be derived from the expen- diture.

Lord Kitchner has asked parliament for authority to enlist SOO,OOO more men. In his view, no man is fit to be sent to the front unless he has had at least six months of drill and train Ing. If the authority is granted him, none of the men to be enlisted will be available at the front for another six months. This seems conclusive that the British war secretary has no idea that the war will end during the present year,
 No details have been made public of the number of men who have thus far been enlisted for the British army. Scattered reports have, however, been given of the number of enlistments in certain cities. provinces and districts For example, the public statement has been made that Manchester alone has furnished 85,000 men for the new army That Is at the enormous ratio of II per cent of the entire population of the city. If that ratio were preserved else where, which 1t certainly has not been, that would mean an enlistment of an army of 5,0oO,OOO men
 Other places from which statistics are available show much lower ratios but one statistician figures out that enlistments by this time must have reached at least 3,25O,O00 men. Several months ago the last official statement on the subject of the number of en- listments was made by Premier As quith, who then asserted that the na- tion had more than 2,000,000 men un- der arms In the intervening months every possible effort has been made to secure additional enlistments. Perhaps the estimate that the British land forces now include over 3,000,000 men may not be far out of the way.
 The length of line which England is holding on the western war frontier, as compared with that held by France, would indicate, however. that the Brit
 sh forces can hardly be comparable with the French in point of numbers.

In 1889 the in dependence of Belgium was recognized by the nations. and a treaty was drawn up and signed by the great powers of Prussia, France. England, Austria and Russia. By this treaty Belgium was declared neutral territory and was for hidden to enter into any war on behalf of any of the other contendng na- tions and as a reward for that the overs agreed to respect her neutrality and defend her against any attacking force. Then the Franco Prussian war broke out in 1870. It was then that the matter was taken up by England with the two powers at war as to whether the neutrality of little Bel gium would be respected.

The announcement of Secretary Lane that the vast army of tourists who an nually journey 10 Europe spend at least one hundred million dollars means far more than appears at superficial glance. To the average person this huge sum conveys but little intelli- gence through mere repetition So ac- customed have We of America become Co the announcement of great sums as expressed in the frequent statements relative to the gigantic business man ipulations of the present age that we have really lost sight of the true inn menslty, the enormous value involved in the vast compilation of wealth ne- cessary to make up a sum so great as one hundred million dollars. Fifty years ago to mention sum of such huge proportion was to evoke a gasp of astonshment and even awe. Even twenty wears ago such values were looked upon as a something almost unreal except when used in connection with the wealth or liabilities of na- tions. That comparatively small portion of the nation could annually spend a sum of such dimension during a brief visit to Europe would. in that day. have been looked upon as utterly improbable. even ridiculous. Yet, to- day 1t Is not only probable but is in- deed fact. Every year during all most the entire last decade sum equal or greater has drifted out of the United States 10 the detriment of this and to the benefit of foreign nations. Every year through this medium a sum almost equal to the entire amount re- quired for the upkeep of the army or navy passes out of the country for practically nothing but the mere sat
 sfaction of looking upon strange or unusual sights and scenes.

WASHINGTON, ID. c.. Dec. 81.
Because the officials of the
census bureau have decided
against the publication of the
most important statistics collect
ed in the 1910 census, nobody in
the United States knows how
many fathers or how many moth
ers there are in the country, no.
body knows how many mothers
are forced to go out into the in
dustrial struggle to help support
their families; nobody knows how
much unemployment there is in
the United States; and nobody
knows how many capitalists and
owners of industry there are COM
pared with wageworkers.
And because the census offic-
ials selected the statistics of most
Interest to the workers as those
which it would NOT publish (be-
cause it didn't have funds enough
to publish all statistics collected)
the children's bureau finds 1t i'm
possible to determine the relative
importance of the high death rate
among babies of working moth
ers.
This important fact is brought
out in the third annual report of
Miss Lathrop's bureau made pub
lie today. The children's bureau
is conducting a detailed inquiry
into the social and economic
causes of babies deaths.

Children'S Bureau
Is Handicapped By
Lack of Statistics

The present report shows that
the two items of the inquiry COM
pleted during the past year reveal
an average infant death rate OF
134 out of every 1000 babies in a
steel-making and cOal-mining
town as against a rate of 50 out
of every 1000 in residential
suburb.
An even greater contrast is
found between the most congested
section and the choicest resident
ial section in each of these two
communities. In other words,
babies of the poor die, while bab-
les of the rich live.
But the report cannot get at
the real basic facts about the re-
lation between the general infant
mortality rate and Industrial en-
ployment of women, until the
facts about the number and pro-
portion of mothers at work con-
tanned in the unpublished census
returns are made available.
Because business men demand
Information about manufactures,
the census office published such
statistics; but because the work.
ers of the country have not de-
manded the publication of statis-
tics relating to infant mortality,
unemployment, the marital con-
dition of persons engaged in in
dusty, and sue hstatistics, the bu-
reau of the census has not pub
lished them.
