BE SURE THAT CHILD'S
BIRTH is REGISTERED

The Bureau of the Census is con-
ducting a test to determine If Ohio
can be admitted to the Registration
Area" The standard on which this
admission is granted is that at least
90 per cent of the births of the State
are registered in the State Bureau Of
Vital Statistics.
The Federal authorities are making
every effort to encourage a full regis
tration, and it's great Importance to
the Government was brought home by
the lack of accurate dates for putting
the draft into effect.
The Importance Of conserving the
lives of children at all times is import
ant but at this time it's Importance can
not be overestimated. It is recog-
nized that the frs tstep in Saving
Babies" is the securing of full regis
tration that the health authorities
may know where they are and give
them aid and advice.
The necessity Of furnishing exact
ages for securing pensions for widows
and dependent children Of our soldiers
cannot be over estimated and one of
the least things State can do to
show its appreciation, is to give them
the assurance that every child is
legally registered: ).
Indiana was made a Registration
State early in October, Kentucky in
July, and Michigan and Pennsylvania
have been so recognized for years.
This leaves Ohio bounded on four
sides by Registration States. It is the
only State in solid block FROM IN.
diana to the Atlantic not SO recognized
The present evidence is that the test
is close, and every physician and mid
wife is urged to get in their certifi-

Parents can find if registration has
been made by making inquiry OF theii

PROPOSAL is REFUSED:
PEACE is HOPELESS
President Wilson Declined Carranza's
Offer to Attempt to Bring an End
to European Hostiljties for Two.
Fold ReasOn-Futility Of Effort and
Cnneutral Discrimination.

Washington, March 20.-The note
to Gen. Carranza, declining his pro-
posa! for neutral action to bring
peace to Europe by cutting off exports
of supplies to belligerents, was made
public today at the state depart
ment
The refusal was based. first, on the
apparent hopelessness OF peace at
present as shown in the futility OF
President wilson's efforts and Ger
many's attempts to embroil Mexico
and Japan in war with this country.
and in the belief that any restriction
OF commerce with the belligerents
would in effect be unneutral discrim-
nation.
Nevertheless, the note concludes.
"the president would not be under
stood as desiring to impede the pro-
gress of a movement leading to the
resumption of peaceful relations be-
tween all the belligerents and would
not. therefore, Wish the Mexican
government to feel that his inability
to act in the present state Of affairs
should in any way initiate against
the attainment of the high ideals OF
Gen. Carranza by the cooperation OF
other neutral governments in the use
of their good Offices and friendly me-
diation to bring about the end Of the
terrible war
The note mentions the careful and
svmpathetic consideration" which the
United States has given to the pro
posal, refers to the new vigor OF the
warfare, and goes on to say:
"To render the situation still more
acute, the government of the United
States has unearthed plot made by
the government dominating the CEN
trail powers, to embroil not only the
government and people of Mexico, but
also the government and people Of
japan in war with the United States.
At the time this plot was conceived
the United States was at peace with
the government and people OF the
German empire and German officials
and German subjects were not only
enjoying. but abusing the liberties
and privileges freely accorded to
them on American soil and under
American protection
The note then takes up the pro-
posal to cut off commercial relations
with the belligerent nations and re-
fers to the American note to Austria
Hungary to show the policy Of this
government in declining to stop mu-
nition shipments
believing that this position OF the
United States is based upon sound
principles Of international law" the
conclusion SAYS. land is consonant
with the established practices OF ma
tons. the president . . cannot brine
himself to consider such a modiflca-
ton of these principles or OF this
practice as compliance with General
Carranza's proposal to suspend COM
mercial relations with the warring
nations would entail

Germany says it is up to Mr. Will

war with Germany and that Germany
