thi- side Of the border was charged
by eXGov. John Lind, recently con
fidential representative Of President
Wilson in Mexico. He in-imated that
they were trying to force interven,

Mr. Lind made the suggestion that
the two Governments agree on a neu.
trail zone along the border. to be
policed by armies of both countries
n order to suppress Villa and his ban

said Mr. Lind But if there had been
a neutral zone with adequate police

sides, even his incursion could have

MORE BRITISH MARRIAGES.
Infant Mortality Increnscs, Accord
ing 10 OfictaI Records.

LONDON. April 1.-two remarkably
Interesting facts regarding the year 1915
are included In the Registrar-ienerars
annual report for 1915 issued laet night.
They are:
The marriage rate IN 1915 rose to 1914
per 1000 OF the population.
Infant mortality increased TO 40 per
1000 births.
1t Is evident from the frst fact given
that the war has had a striking effect
ON the number of marriages., For some
years past there has been a steady thoue n
small Increase In the popularity Of mar
Ungc, but each year has only seen "a
rise OF a decimal point or two. Thus
1914 showed an increase In the umhe of
marriages over 1919 from 1871 per 900
to l5,a per 1000,
Compared with this slight rise, the In
crease In the proportion last year of no
less than 3I5 per 1000 Is extraordinary.
In round figures II means that In addi-
ton to the normal number Of marriages
for the year there were no fewer than
so. 000 war brides.
Tho second fact gives rise To somewhat
melancholy reflections. For many years
past strenuous efforts LAY been made "a
reduce tho heavy waste Of child life. So
successful, have been these efforts that
the ~infantile mortality. which IN the 'oos
ranged aborrt $50 Orr 1000 births, has
fallen 10 about 100 per 1000 births.
