TO SHIELD MATERNITY
Nations Duty to Prevent Worry and
Work, Miss Lathrop Declares.

Columbus o.. Dec. 30=Doctrines
new to many of the delegates came
today from the lips of a federal gov
9rnment worker, Miss Julia Lathrop,
head of the Federal Children's bureau.
1t was of the rights of mothers that
she spoke, rights which society must
recognize in every possible way Not
to take the action which she recon-
mended is for society to imperil it's
own continued existence, she said
Miss Lathrop said:
Society owes a debt to mothers. Il
can pay this debt only in part by
guaranteeing to the eXpectant mother
rest from worry and work, the best
medical care. and a reasonable period
for recovery after the birth OF the
little one
THE public protection of maternity
is a business upon which We should
have embarked long ago." added Miss

submitted by Secretary Daniels to the

in the 1918 naval appropriation OIL

Three Scandinavian Notes De-
livered at War CapitOls.

Berlin, via London, Dec. 30.-1t has
been learned that a few days ago
President Wilson sent a second note
explanatory of the first, toathe central
powers and the entente nations. rms
note has not been presented.
The reason for the withholding OF
the second note is said to be that the
German reply, received in the interim
showed that the German government
had not been Influenced by the mis-
conception regarding the purpose and
aims of President Wilson's step which
an unfriendIy press in both camps at
tributed thereto"
Lansing Silent on Second Note.
Washington, Dec. 30.-Secretary
Lansing refused to comment in any
Way on the report that a second ex-
planatory note had been sent both to
the central powers and to the entente
allies to correct neutrality-suspicious. OF
the presidents note calling Tor peace
terms He indicated that under the
recent policy of silence adopted by
President Wilson and himself in the
peace negotiation he would make no
statement either affirming or denying
such reports
Secretary Lansing has been most
emphatic ever since his two state
presidents note was absolutely self
explanatory and required no further
comment. He has stated also that no
special instructions were sent to the
American diplomats as to the manner
of presenting the note. Intimations
that the misunderstanding abroad,
particularly in the public mind, might
be dispelled by official statements
from here, havI met with an unfavor-
able reception.
Washington Points Ont Reasons
Washington, Dec 3O.-The Ameri-
can government, it became known,
by authorities, believes there are three
principal points in it's note to bellig-
erents and is surprised that they have
not been more clearly understood, par
ticularly by the press of the entente
allies. These points. taken in their or
der of Importance from the admins
tration viewpoint, are:
The fear Tat the position of neu-
trail nations be rendered altogether
intolerable" if the war continues.
The suggestion that arrangement
be made as a guarantee against con-
flicts in the future.
The proposal that means be found
for comparing the concrete peace
terms of both sides.
The last point has aroused most
comment and the first was empha-
sized by Secretary Lansing's state
ment, afterwards modified, that the
United States itself might be verging
into the war.
The administration however believ-
ed the suggestion for an arrangement
to preserve peace in the future would
attract more attention among the en-
tent allies than apparently it has.
