''It is marvellous. have been to
Brussels. I have seen Brand Whitlock,
General yon Kissing and others, and I
learn that infectious disease is almost
unknown in Belgium. There has been
a tremendous decrease in the number of
tuberculosis cases.
Ninety seven per cent of the Belgian
communes show lower death rate than
ever before. The explanation is that
people eat less meat, and furthermore,
the supervision of the milk supply makes
it possible for everyone who needs it to
obtain it in adequate quantities..
He states further that the addition Of
vegetables, apple-sauce, and oatmeal to
the babies diet, and the reduction of
their allowance of milk at the age Of five
months, has benefited infant health to
such an extent that far fewer of them
die than heretofore. The infant death
rate has decreased, he claims from 10
per hundred before the war, to II per
hundred at the present time.

NEWS OF THE WORLD

lines of trenches on a front of 1000
yards north of Malancourt, ten miles
northwest Of the fortress proper.
On March 81, it was reported from
London that the iron ring of the Crown
Princes army was slowly closing about
Verdun, and that the Germans were at
tacking on practically the whole front.
On April 3, it was reported from Paris
that the issue had turned generally in
favor of the French, the powerful Ger
man attacks being repulsed, while coun-
ter attacks by the French had resulted in
the recovery of much ground. A con-
siderable portion of the city of Verdun
has been destroyed by fire, the Germans
hurting incendiary shells into the town
over a distance of several miles.
A cable dispatch to The Chicago Tri-
bu7ae, from an American correspondent
at the front, states that probably not far
from million men are battling on both
sides around Verdun, and that never in
the history OF the world have such enOr-
nous masses of military been engaged
in battle at one point The writer states
that on the 40-mile semicircle firing line.
the Germans have probably $500 gunsin
action or reserve, and that, as many of
them are of middle and heavy caliber,
the average weight per shell is more
than 25 pounds.
The French are using an almost equal
amount of artillery in defense, and the
correspondent reaches the conclusion
"that more than 5000 cannon, varying
from 3-inch field guns, to 42-centimeter
siege mortars, are engaged in hurting
thousands of high explosive shells hourly
in the never ceasing, thunderous artil-
lery of duels."

ROOSEVELT FLAYS WILSON'S
POLICY

Theodore Roosevelt, in statement is
sued from Oyster Bay, L. l., on March
80, made bitter and caustic attack on
President Wilson's Mexican policy. His
statement deals specifically with the
Presidents recent charge that American
property owners in Mexico were respon-
sible for starting the trouble in that
country.
After reviewing the events of the past
few years, in which 276 Americans have
been killed by Mexicans, Roosevelt asks,
among many other things:
docs Mr.. Wilson mean that property
owners in Mexico were responsible for
his alternately placing and lifting the
embargo on the export Of arms and
munitions to Mexico until every bandit
who wished arms with which to shoot
Americans had them?"
He says further:
HE is now engaged in second war
in Mexico. He is waging war against
Villa, with whom but little more than
a year ago he concluded what was in eff
feet treaty Of peace and friendship,
formally entered into through one of the
highest officers of the United States
army, General Scott, by President Will
sons direction.
photographs of General Villa and
General Scott and other participants in
this extraordinary bit of treaty making
were published broadcast throughout
the press. You can find one of them in
the files of the Metropolitan Magazine
of about year ago.
Il most earnestly wish peace in Mex
leo, but every step Mr.. Wilson has taken
with regard to Mexico for the last
three years has tended to make peace i'm
possible. $ &

WILSON AWAITING RESULT OF
INVESTIGATIONS

In regard to the sinking Of the Susser,
and other vessels, recently, with Ameri-
cans aboard, President Wilson is SIM

awaiting the outcome of thorough in
vestigations that are being made. If
reports are to be believed he has some
what receded from the position which
ne took week ago, when he seemed on
the point of dismissing Ambassador
Bernstorff and recalling Ambassador
Gerard.
It appears that there is no excitement
IN Congress or throughout the country
a widespread belief prevailing that the
administration will not obtain sufficient
evidence against Germany to warrant
rupture Of diplomatic relations. Unless
there is modification in the position
taken by either the central powers. or

to see how matters can go on indefinitely

LITERACY TEST BILL PASSES
HOUSE

On March 80, the Burnett immigration
bill passed the House of Representatives
by a vote of 3O8 to 81. This bill is bet
ter known as the ''literacy test measure.
Chairman Burnett, of the House i'm
migration committee, who is plotting the
bill through Congress, claims that if it
becomes law, a great restriction Of the
annual immigration Of foreigners into
this country will result possibly as
much as Is per cent.
The vote recorded in favor of the
literacy test is more than the two-thirds
vote necessary to carry the legislation
over the veto of President Wilson, should
the latter veto it again this year, as he
did last. Chairman Burnett claims that
he has assurances from the Senate that
