Edsel Ford Can Serve His
Country Better at Camp
Ford Than at Camp Custer

Edsel Ford's readiness 20 go 10 the col
ors in his country's emergent hour-it
the government considers him to be more
useful there-does him credit
He Is a clear-headed, clean-living young
man, growing rapidly into the admins
trative branch Of the Ford interests and
quite unspoied by the great fortune and
fame that have come 70 his distinguished
father.
Undoubtedly the presence Of the only
son of Michigan's wealthiest citizen as a
private at Camp Custer would be heart
ening and helpful 70 his 10000 comrades.
It would be a sign and token OF the genu-
fneness Of the democracy they are pre-
pairing to fight for.
But selective CONSUMPTION seeks 10
place every available man where ms par
ticipation in the war viii count the most

consideration for the sentimental on
moral effect Of the selection.
Henry Ford's patriotic prefer Of his
vast productive facilities TO the govern
ment without profit, and his bestowal OF
half a million in ambulsnces 70 the Red
Cross, have. in effect, made them part
of the war preparations and resources OF
the nation. They comprise the Camp
Ford of the present stage Of war prep
arations.
Being on duty now az producer Of the

The First Baby and
The Young Mother

This combination-the first baby and
the young mother-tiliS more tiny cas-
kets and keeps more white hearseS busy
than any other
That, more than anything else, makes
being baby the riskieSt job GA earth.
The first baby born has the poorest
chance Of living Il is several times
more risky than being the second. third
or fourth
These facts we're disclosed hy d recent
study Of infant welfare In Manchester
y. H.
The death rate Of first baoes was
somewhere between 100 and ia a thou-
sand.
The mothers having learned how 70
care for baby by actual experience with
the first. were able 10 achieve lower
death rate for the second, third. fourth
and fifth
Then the improvement came 20 halt
and the curve began 10 ascend.
The death rate among babies ninth
and later IN the order OF birth was 30.
This proves that in very large families
mothers cannot find the time necessary
20 give the babies the needed care.
Il Also proves that most wives wair un-
TIL baby comes before attempting 10 make
of themselves expert mothers.

The obvious thing for baby to do, II
this survey Is Indicative Of results and
conditions elsewhere is 10 be the fourth

neither too young nor too Old
But, seriously speaking. the thing for
mothers 70 do is 10 begin preparing for
efficient motherhood long before the first

Germany's Waning Power

Those who still doubt that il Is go
ing to be the high privilege and fortune
of American armies TO assist in the final
smashing of the kaiser have but 70 study
what has been going on along the British
front since August /. The PFussian mil
itary machine is still formidable. but the
ascendancy has definitely passed to the
allies.
Colonel f. D. Swinton, inventor Of the
British tanks and one d the Big men
in ti1e>Bfitisb war cabinet. which directs
British army movements, recently sad
to a representative of this paper that
In the early part Of the war the French
and the British virtually fought the
Prussians with bare fists and bayonets
He meant the Germans had tremendous
superiority in guns and ammunition.
Slowly the allies increased their man
ufactures until they finally exceeded the
Germans.
The results tell the story. Since Au-
gust the British have taken over $4,000
German prisoners, the Germans have
taken 1905.
British captures of German artillery
demonstrate that when the British de-
termined upon an offensive they were
able to push it home. They got back
into the enemy territory where the ar
tillery was planted. On the contrary,
the fact that Germans captured no Eng
hsh guns shows even where they made
counter-attacks they were unable 70 push
them thru the first line trenches
This fact is more highly significant
than any one or two victories in battle.
Our allies constant success is bound to
have tremendous effect upon the
morale of the contending forces. Tommy
goes into battle sure of the outcome.
Fritz goes in feeling that he is beaten
before ne starts. He is different kind
of German from the one who fought in
the first two years of the war.
And that is where Americans may be
expected TO come in strong next spring
and summer. We will put into the
trenches the cream of all the forces in
the field This is not a reflection upon
the gallant British and French. but they
have borne the shock of battle for years.
America is the last land that has a great
reservoir of fresh youth.
This young energy, enthusiasm and
will TO conquer is bound 10 tell II will
inspire and hearten our allies. II will
unnervc the Germans and make them
still further doubt the use of going on
and on when they know there is no
chance 10 win

Diderot

Copyright. 1915. BY Frank Crane)

A book has recently come to my desk
which have read with extraordinary
interest. Ii is The Early Philosophical
Works of Denis Diderot." Diderot. as
all know. was the man mainly respon-
Sible for that Encyclopedia" which in
turn had quite little to do with pre-
pairing the mind of France for the Rev
olution
The little volume in question contains
some "Philosophic Thoughts, a Letter
TO the Blind, and Letter TO the Deaf
and Dumb. "
In the main contentious Of Dederot and
his followers we have lost interest Their
controversy has not been settled IT has
been outgrown; as is the case with most
controversies But this little book is full
Of very bright and penetrating sugges-
tions. Long after philosophers system
