A PRIZE CITY FOR BABIES.

Figures announced by the health
department indicate that Pittsburgh
is close to being the prize baby city
Of the country. In 1914 it was ex-
ceeded in this respect only by De-
troit, the birth rates per thousand
of the populations of the two cities
being: Pittburgh 2S T. ard Detroit,
1852. In the same year, however,
the infant death rate in Detroit was
1924 to 1000 births, while that Of
Pittsburgh was l14.6. In 1916 Pitts
burgh showed a gain of a whole baby
per thousand of population, or a rate
of 29.7. This year the figures show
ing an increase in the number of
babies born per month from 1888 in
April to 1885 in October promise
a mark that will give Detroit some
thing to think about. How the graf
itude of the country should 20 out
to Pittsburgh and Detroit will be seen
by reference to the birth rate of
Cincinnati in 1914. 1t was only
1871 per thousand of population.
No matter how ancient this sub
ject, mention of it always starts an
interesting train of discussion. Now
reference is made to the increase
in the birth rate of this country as

the countries engaged. Up to the
present it has been amazingly ac-

how long the war will last, when the
decisive battle will be fought. and
where and when peace will come,
and adds that Germany will continue
to exist as a power for many years.

 "If any further proof were need ed of the immeasurable superiority of the Germans. intellectually and morally. over the rest of mankind, lit is to be found in the mental at Ititude of our people toward the Bi- ble as compared with that of other nations.
 "The English regard that book as their most valuable commercial as set, and use it mainly as form of barter with savage tribes for their good will, their assistance, and the supply of their natural products.

AIR OFFENSIVES
 CONTINUE ACTIVE
May Has Witnessed Most Thrilling Battles of War--Encmy Shot
 Down With Pistol.

British Front in France, May l30.-( (Via London) The recent Ilull in the fighting has showed no effect whatever on the British aerial offensive. which continues day and night with unrelenting in tensity. In the last few days there have been witnessed some of the most desperate air battles of the entire war. One or two of these have been fought at the unprece- dented height of l9,000 feet, or more than 3 1-2 miles from the earth.
 Recently there was a duel in which British pilot having run out of ammunition for his machine gun got close enough to his an tagonist to shoot him down with his revolver. This incident served to recall the fact that when the war began the only weapons which |aerial pilots had were pistols and carbines.
 Commenting today on the daz- |Zling attitudes at which many com bats occur nowadays, pilot said that when he first went to war i'll 1914 he flew a machine which took an hour and a quarter to reach 6,00O feet.
 That's nothing" said one of his comrades, "the old bus l had in those days would not reach G,000 feet at all."
 The airplane which could not ne gotiate 10000 feet well under 10 minutes would be scrapped quickly now.
 A notable feature of the air fight ing in the last 10 days has been the tendency of the German ma chimes to break in pieces soon aft CT being shot out of control. FOURTEEN PLANES IN BATTLE
 The total of German planes de-
