ChiIdrcn's Bureau Hopes to Save
Some of 100000 That Die Yearly.
Plans for a baby week" III March
are now being made by more than 400
communities, according to an an
nouncement by the children's bureau
Of the department of labor.
The need of lettering conditions u
rounding babies will be impressed on
the general public and the proper care
OF infants described. Many prominent
organizations all over the country have
approved the movement and are pre-
pairing to contribute toward its success.
The General Federation of Women's
Clubs has undertaken the promotion
Of this nation wide campaign. State
health officials and various other ma
tional organizations will all lend 4
Helping hand. The extension divisions
Of state universities have promised spe-
cial assistance in rural communities.
1t is felt by those behind the move
ment that this agitation will arouse
every American to his responsibility
for the death annually Of 100000
babies before they are twelve months
old. A booklet of practical suggestions

To Remove Wrinkles.

Let any wrinkled garment hang for
twenty-four hours, il possible, before
pressing it. for many Of the wrinkles
will hang out. Taffeta is really injured
by each pressing. and, although taft
feta does wrinkle easily. some of the
wrinkles will come out if the garment
is smoothed and carefully hung away.
After each pressing, too. taffeta is just
so much more liable to wrinkles, an
other reason for pressing it as little as
possible.
When chiffon is badly wrinkled steam
it, then hang it on a padded hanger,
stuff it with tissue paper and dry it in
front of a fire or radiator. To steam it
fill a big pan full Of boiling water and
hold the chiffon garment over 1t until
1t is damp with steam.

The Doctor Speaks.

When one in chilled, the day
being cold and damp, he should take
q cup of hot milk. In windy, cold
weather the activity of the skin is
greatly diminished. and discomforts
arise because the poisonous products
usually thrown off by it are retained
to ones discomfort. More than this,
these products ultimately make their
way to the kl@nGys and exert an irri-
tating action upon the delicate epithelia
of these organs. Two glasses of hot
milk will greatly stimulate the activity
of the skin; blood flows to it. and we
feel warmer. The irritating agents in
the food are lessened. and these injure
other organs, but the Kidneys most.
No matter which one Of the mucous
membranes is affected. try this remedy.

SUBMARINE OF nARDoH Defense CLASS.
GERS are inclined to believe that the
sc called coast defense boats will be
standardized at about 400 tons dis
placement. They should be called har-
Dor defense boats rather than coast
Defense" as it has been demonstrated
that the sphere of action of these
boats is limited to 100 miles Or less off
shore.
Twenty-Five smaller Submarines arc
included i'll the administration pro
gram for this year, at an estimated
cost of between 100000 and 100000
each. The estimate would provide for
vessels OF GEO to 100 tons displacement.
Increasing the size of the feet subma-
zines and decreasing that, Of the small
CT boats could BE accomplished, it is
pointed out, without altering the total
expenditures proposed.
Virtually all seagoing flag officers
and the commissioned personnel gen
orally of the submarine fiotillas are
said to favor building larger craft for
sea work.
Some officers, it is said, believe the
smaller submarines should be aban-
doncd entirely. but others believe it
has been shown that there are two dis
tinct fields of activity for submarines
which should be recognized. In shall
low waters off the coast, it is contend
ed, the big boats would be almost use
less because OF their drafts.
Bids for submarines for the United
States navy will hereafter be asked
on the basis Of plans prepared by the
naval constructors.

Official Washington SURPRISED That
German Reply IL Made Public.
Washington, Dec. Officials here
to President Wilson's peace note was
given out in Berlin before it reached
this country in official form. They
pointed out that in sending his note,
President Wilson allowed two days be-
tween the time Of its dispatch and
making it public, that it might first
reach the German government.
| In the absence Of an official reply,
formal comment was withheld at the
White House and the state department.
The direct proposal for a conference
,of delegates at a neutral place was re-
garded as a further step in Germany's
proposal, altho officials considered 1t
as having been definitely forecast in
the first proffer. Su.n formal offer
has repeatedly been mentioned in au-
thorized statements of the German em-
hassy here. where the opinion freely
has been expressed that if delegates
once could be gathered around a table
for the purpose of discussing peace the
result surely would be an arrangement
Of terms. .
The Berlin dispatches were read by
President Wilson and Secretary Ian
sing with great interest. Some Of the
officials professed to see. some conflict
between the German statement that the
work of securing the future peace Of
the world should be delayed until after
the present struggle is ended. while 9TH
ers said 1t was not entirely out of har-
mony with the presidents note.

Allied Ships OF U. S. coa.t,


Boston, Dec. 26.-The presence on
this side Of the Atlantic Of a formidable
fieet OF allied warships was indicated
definitely today. The vessels are known
offiaailly as commerce protectors.
They are heavily armed and dis
guised. For obvious reasons their exact
disposition is not revealed, but the ar
rival recently In American waters of
the newest unit~of the British and
French admiralties was made known
from source that hardly can be mis-
taken.
For some days shippers OF steamers
have brought to New England ports
news of the appearance Of strange
crafts that were making their way
westward. They made no reply to sig
nails and could not be approached. It
is said that the fleet safely arrived
at Halifax, N. S., a few days ago, but
nothing then became known generally
about it, because OF the srict censorship
maintained.
The commerce protectors are de-
scribed as large and powerful but cap
able Of fair speed. They were designed,
twas said, to meet the German U-boat
danger and In anticipation OF an at
tempted raid off the Canadian coast
similar to that of the U-53 recently.
At that time shipping men figured
that there was not an allied warship
within 500 miles Of the spot that Capt.
Hans Rose deliberately selected in
which to operate.
