DELEGATES FAVOR PROPOSAL

New Step Taken For the Preservation
Of Peace On the American Cent?
nent and Development Of PanAmer'
lean Unity---Would Compel Arbitra-
tion Of Boundary Disputes and With
hold Arms From ReVolutionists.
Washington, Dec. 31.--In new
step for the preservation of peace on
the American continent and the oe-
Selopment of Pan-American unity, the
United States has formally invited the
I.atin-American republics to join in a
convention to compel arbitration Of
Boundary disputes and prohibit ship
ments of war munitions to revolution
aries.
Secretary Lansing's proposal, deliv
cred with the approval of President
Wilson to the resident Pan-American
diplomats here for submission to their
home foreign offices, has for its OBJ
3ect the preservation of peace In Pam
America that it may face the cd
world free of internal dissension.
On every side delegates to the con
vention who discussed Mr.. Lansing's
proposal gave unreserved expression
OF appreciation.
The status of the negotiations and
the details of Secretary Lanslng's
proposal are so far being held as con-
fidehtial between the state depart
n,ent and the Latin american chan
ceilories Isere. 1t became known, how
ever, that soon after Secretary Ian
sing delivered his unity speech. in
which ne advocated a Pan-Amerlcan
"One for all and all for one" he be
gan inviting the Latin-American rep
resentatives to the state department

his proposal.

posal. which has for one Of its ulti-
mate objects the welding of tnoI-
cughly united America. Is the presei'
vation of peace on the American con-
tinent II is realized that the chiec
menaces to such peace are bound

boundary disputes are removed to the
realm of arbitration, and all the Pan
American nations bind themselves ab-
solutely to prohibit shipments of war
munitions to any other than estab
hshed governments, peace among the
rations themselves would practically
be assured and the attention of all the
American nations could be devoted

BRITISH BIRTH RATE FALLS.
Forty Thousand Fewer Babies Year
In Ninety six English Towns.


The tremendous influence of the war
in checking the normal growth of the
population Is shown cOncluSively by
the statistics which have just been
compiled for ninetysiX of the largest
towns in the United Kingdom, says the
New York World.
The total decrease In the number of
births in these places Is at the rate OF
10000 annually, while the increase In
deaths Is 10000 year, the comparison
being made with the year 1913.
In the county of London the decrease
in births during the last thirteen
weeks, compared with the correspond
ing period of 1913, Is over 1900. while
the increase In deaths Is 1,2T0. Great
er London. including what the registrar
general calls the "outer ring" shows
total decrease OF $4,000 births and an
Increase in the number of deaths OF
10000, making net decrease in the
population of $4,000 compared with the
year 1913.
These figures are counted on to
stimulate more than ever the public
and private effort now being concen-
trated on the problem of infantile NOR
tally.
There has been marked increase In
the deaths among persons over fifty
years old. Many deaths among these
elderly people are caused by their
inability to so to warmer climates. as
they usually have done, during the cold
weather.
