Mailing Whoppers
(BOSton Post. )

The thanks of fair minded Ameri- cans are due our neighbor, the Trans cript, for the prompt and effective manner in which it has nailed the old lie to the effect that the United States during her war with Spain asked Germany to prevent the ex- portation from her territory of mu- nitions of war to Spain, and that the imperial government acceded to the request. The propagators of this whopper have even quoted a part of Ambassador Whites autobiography in the attempt to substantiate their claims.
 The facts are, as our contemporary has brought out, that Ambassador White did once ask the German au- thoritles to search a Spanish vessel supposed to be carrying munitions to Spain in order that he might have data to send home to America as to the ships contraband cargo and the chance of her being fitted out so trat It could be used against our mer- chant navy. The German govern ment did as asked, but found only minor contra raband, and that the ship was not fitted out as an auxiliary

 CLOSES SCHOOLS
Grip and Measles Epidemic Causes Small Attendance
WILL REOPEN MARCH 13
Parents Warned To Keep Children In
 Contact With Diseases Off the  E Streets or Quarantine Will Follow
 Freight Cars Derai1ed-BriefS.

Acting under instructions from pr. of Schools J. H. Dows has closed the Kensington Grammar school and the Hubbard school of East Berlin for period of one week. In the latter small for the past two weeks that it was thought the proper work could not be accomplished. In one room only eight pupils were present Tues day morning. The district has been tn the throes of grip and measles and Practically every home had one or more patients. While it is thought the epidemic has reached it's crest, nevertheless it was deemed advisable to keep the children, who have been fortunate enough to escape the dis eases up to this time, from coming in contact with those afflicted.
 Similar conditions exist in Kensing- ton at present. There are innum- efabIe cases of the maladies prevalent and less than half the student body attended classes yesterday In one room only eighteen pupils out of for ty-eight were present.
 Superintendent Dows dep1Ores the situation as it will mean the schools will have to be kept open a week longer, when the soft, balmy days of June make their appearance. New rrthcless, Dr Grtswold deemed it ex- redient to prevent the spread of the Eiclznesses, SO the cause was taken l. While the epidemic in the Kensington district mas not reached the stage of that Of East Berlin, it is hoped tc check it in it's incipient stages.
 Many corva!escents were reported in East Berlin this morning and it is hoped that full attendance will be Dad at the classes when the schools reopen Monday March 13, that being the time designated by pr. Griswold
 Issues Warning.
 pr F. M. Griswold was interviewed this morning regarding tho closing o1 the schools. He said th9' while the maladies have not spread -c"y much up to this time, neverth olcss he thought "an ounce of prevention was vaorth 8 pound of cure" He main tains there is nothing alarming about the situation but feels the diseases should not be allowed to gain fo ot- hold among the children. Dr. Gris- woId urges parents to keep theil children at home if any member o1 the family is confined by illness. He regards this as imperative and said 'If I find any child who lives in g house where the maladies are present ] will pIacc t''at house under quaran- tiro." Citizens are asked to aid the health department as much as possi-

Counting the Babies. Bridgeport PoSt.D

England is rejoicing over the fact babies there is larger than at any time since 1854, because England will need every man child she can get to replace the terrible wastagc of war
 Europe is carefully counting all it's
 ha bies today. Every government
 abroad realizes that among it's na-
 tlonal assets babies are the most inn
 portant. Where there are no babies there can be no national wealth. no matter how great the natural re- sources.
 This fact is as patent in the United States as it is abroad, but along with ether accepted wastes of Americas $ eN- tra ordinary resources, Uncle Sam s people have been notOriously waste full of baby lives.
 1 Census estimates indicate that in l the United States as a whole we lose 124 of every thousand babies born. England and Wales only lose 95 in 900; France, IS; Norway, 65; New Zealand, 51. There are twelve coun- tries in which the infant mortality is lower than our own.
 Last year in Bridgeport 3,S54 babies were born. Of these 378 died in the 1 first year, at the rate of 9S in a l thousand Death claimed 66 in the second year of their lives and 72 more died before they were five years l old This hotal of 516 deaths under 1 five years of age shows that 1S3 out l of every thousand babies born did not live to go to school.
 l While this is a better showing than
 III 1914, when, with less population, 1 407 died under one year old and a 1 total of 567 died under five years old, | it is alarming enough to give strength 1 to the Baby Week movement 1 Such figures should give us pause. 1 Countries immensely poorer, some of 1 them without public school systems l and means of disseminating know 1 ledge except by word of mouth raise their babies immensely better than we 1 do. CarelessnCsS and neglect would l seem to account for our high infant l mortality.
 Uncle Sam knows we can do better if we try, so he has ordered a na- tional Baby Week, commencing Sat ! urday, for the purpose of bringing l Ft me to parents and guardians, and those who may some day occupy ] those positions, the simple knowledge
 that is required for baby salvage. Lately we have been dealing in futures. Perhaps it is the prepared ness furore; possibly it is the promise of our coming commercial supremacy but at any rate we are beginning to see that man builds not for himself lalone. There is another generation to be considered if we are to cndurc First of all, then, it is our duty not to waste our ba bes as we do now
 at the rate of 300,00O a year
 l Bridgeport will be one of the t2,029 different communities that will
 cooperate with the children's bureau Of the Department of Labor in mak- irg an exhibit during the week

The rain and snow of yesterday nearly caused a serious accident on the main line of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad at point near Merwin's brickyard short ly. after o'clock. Two cars had been filled with brick, preparatory to ship ping them. The sWitcher was hauling the cars to the main track, when without any warning both tipped over scattering their contents on the first track of the main line. The schedule was held up for about fifteen minutes and everything to expedite the clearing of the track was done. From the official report of the acci- dent, which was sent to the "Yellow Building' the cause was given as fol- lows: Snow and sleet formed on the wheels of the cars, which had been still, while the loading was in pro- gress When the cars started to move, the wheels were raised and as 8 result the f1ange was unable to grip the track, thus causing the derail- ment and consequent tipping of the cars"
 Snow Saves Man.
 The two feet depth of snow in front front of farm on the ~Thomas Ensign place on Warrington Ridge was the means of saving John Norton from serious injury on Wednesday after noon. MT. Norton who is about seven tysix years old, lives with Mr. En- sign. He wandered about the yard of the place and finally attempted to en- ter the barn. The doors of the barn are fixed on wheels and are slid from one side to the other, when opening. It is presumed that MT. Norton pulled the wheels off the track for he was heard to shout for help When the neighbors rushed to his assistance, he was lying in the snow, completely covered by the door. This was raised and, beyond a shaking up, he suffered little injury. The snow in which he fell, gave way before his weight but was firm enough to hold the door from crushing him. The escape from 1 serious injury is considered nothing | short of mira culous.
