PRESS OPINION /
IN TWO CHANNELS.

n London. Dec. here on
the reply Of the Central powers to the
Bolsheviki peace terms. as far as can
be judged from the editorials in the
morning newspapers. follows two
main lines On one hand it seemed
to be felt that the Central powers
have made perfectly sincere offer to
end the war Immediately. while on the
other hand it Is declared that they
have set a cunning trap in which they
hope, although vainly, to catch the
allies. aa
The former view is not confined to
papers generally regarded as having
pacifist leanings. 1t is supported
strongly, for instance. by the conser-
.yative Daily Express. which stands
for victory over the
Central powers and is an ardent
apostle Of anti -Prussianisn1. In all
the papers taking this view the state
ment Of the Central powers Is regard
ed as being addressed less to Russia
than to the allies collectively. and the
offer made through Count Czernin is
assumed to be an initial proposal
which the Central powers probably
are prepared to modify in the course
Of bargaining.

PUBLIC HEALTH'S
RELATION TO WAR
County Superintendent Re-
turns From Important
Congress in East.
THE BABIES MUST BE SAVED
Social Diseases to Be Com
batted; Industrial Prob
lens Are Foremost.

Dr. c. l.. Reeder, county superin-
tendent of health, related yesterday
what the pubic health men of the
country are doing to help win the war.
TIE doctor has just returned from
attending the forty-fifth annua, '
meeting of the American Public
Health association in washington
where he went to get ideas on TN
best health protecting measures.
The war caused people to appre-
ciate more than ever the value OF pun
lie health work, and 1t has also made
necessary the carrying out or more
stringent health measures: Doctor
Reeder declared that the pubhc heaiti
men gathered In Washington from an
over North America and are rising 70
the occasion splendidly and are read
for any demand that may be maze
upon them.
Among the big health problems that
have been greatly intensified by war
conditions Doctor Reeder mentioned
industrial hygiene. infant mortalty'
trberculosis, rural health administra- :
ton. public health education, and the
venereal diseases. Most or THESE
problems were stressed on the pro
gram of the convention, Shich Was
considered the most important meet
lns IN tIlC illStoiy VI VIZ "S''S'
Social Diseases.
Speaking of these problems In the
spirit of the convention Doctor Reedcf
said:
In the first place the most impor-
tant problem arising from the war Is
one with reference to small group
of diseases about which too little has
been said in the past. So important
are these. the so-called social dis
eases, that Joint meeting with tht
American Social Hygiene association
and the sociological section or the
American Public Health association
was held for their consideration. II
is certain that health departments
thruout the country will give more
attention to these loathsome diseases
in the future than in the past, for the,
must be regarded as communicable
diseases and as proper subjects foi
health department regulations.
"The shortage in man-power tc
carry on the industrial work required
by the war Is directing attention tc
the Importance of conserving all th'
forces we now possess and people are
thinking more and more of another
big health problem involved, that o.
saving the babies. For this purpose
