the care she needs for herself and her

This plan is the result of five years
study of the conditions. affecting the
welfare of mothers and babies through
ont the United States. As DIR. Grace J..
Meigs of the children's bureau has
shown in her study OF maternal mortal
ity, at least $1,000 American mothers die
each wear from causes connected with
child bearing.
Realizing what the i'll health and suf-
fering which lie behind this startling fig
ure mean to the home and to the child's
wen being, the childrens bureau, in try
ing to find out why babies die, has
sought the reasons for this great waste
of mothers lives. The bureau reports a
great lack of facilities for caring for
mothers in the United States.
In the great western grazing states a
mother often cannot get the care OF
doctor or nurse when her baby is born;
perhaps the nearest physician lives 65
miles away, In older parts of the coun-
try the same inaccessibility of skilled
care prevails; it suggests why, although
the male death rate is greater tlfan the
female throughout lie, rural women be-
tween 20 and As die at rate nearly
equal TO that of country men.
Better care for mothers with govern
ment aid to local authorities and agen-
lies, has been part of Great Britain's
war program; she has achieved for 1916
ler lowest infant mortality rate. The

G. W. MORSE
AND HIS PARDON
Facts Are Revealed in a Bill
Of Particulars by w.
E. Reid
SUIT BROUGHT
BY THE LATTER
Proponent Says That Morse
Promised Him Wealth if
Pardon Was Obtained

New York, Dec. l0.-The nature an,
Importance of a suit begun last Ma.
against Charles w. Morse, the forme
banker and steamship man who was par
doned by President Taft, while serving s
sentence in the federal prison at At
lanta, was revealed here Saturday wher
bill of particulars was filed in the fed
eral district court Morse is now heat
of the United States Steamship com
pany, which recently was awarded q
contract by the United States govern
ment for the building of 30 steamers
Until the presentation of particulars
asked for by Morse's attorneys, all that
was known concerning the suit was that
1t had been brought by Walter E. Reid
steamship man of Waterville, Me-, to
enforce payment for services rendered
Morse, in his answer, denied having made
an oral contract with Reid as had been
claimed by the latter.
The bill of particulars alleges that
an oral contract was entered into be-
tween Morse and Reid while they We're
travelling on a train in Maine on Aug.
10, 1909, whereby Reid was made Morse's
agent and representative in his financial
affairs and in the case of the United
States against Morse growing out of the
bank of North America frauds. 1t is
also stated that in compliance with the
alleged contract Reid continued to act
as Morse's agent and representative dur
ing the two years the banker was in
prison.
A reference in the bill of particulars
4n DatI.1 ,,f sfIironti
corning steps designed to procure par
don or communication of sentence of de
PENDANT" indicates the possibility of
the particulars revealing how Morse OBJ,
tanned the presidential pardon.
"Many of the details of these mat
ters," it is stated, were the subject of
correspondence which the plaintiff LETT
in defendants possession and according
ly plaintiff can furnish said details only
by reference thereto"
The particulars not being considered
full enough by Morse's counsel Judge NJ
I. Manton directed Reds attorney to
supplement them by furnishing names,
dates and places and to describe 'un-
wise enterprises in which Reid alleges,
he prevented Morse and his wife from
engaging.
Morse on being convicted or YIolat |
ing the national banking laws entered
the Atlanta penitentiary on Jan. |, 1910
to serve sentence of 40 years. When
he was believed to be dying President |
Taft pardoned him on Feb, |, 1912.
Another suit against Morse for COM
pensation for alleged service was brought
in the supreme court in 1914 by Max
C. Baum a New York real estate deal
err He asked for 100000 and claimed
that it was largely through his efforts
that President Taft was induced to par

and by letter, and was promised he

LABOR CONSCRIP-
TON NOT NECESSARY
TO WIN THE VAR
But Sec, Wilson Suggests That Should
1t Become Necessary the Industries
Should Be Conscripted
Also.

Washington, Dec. l0.-Conscription OF
labor, Secretary Wilson told Congress in
his annual report to-day, is not likely ia
be necessary for the winning of the war
but he suggests that should it become
necessary for the government to con-
script labor, it should at the same time
conscript the industries on which they
are engaged.
Almost insuperable obstacles arise,
says the secretary of labor, when labor
disputes occur under circumstances in
which the employers permit organization
by their workmen only on pain of dis
missal. Since in such cases the work
men have no responsible business repre-
sentatives, only one party to controver-
sizes can be conveniently or satisfactorily
heard In such cases, also, the workers,
being prevented by their employers from
organizing on a business basis, tend to
fall away from the pacifying influence of
conservative. constructive and respon-
sibe labor organizations and to come I'M
der that of irresponsible revolutions. As
most labor lawlessness is traeeabe to
this cause, responsibility for it cannot be
wholly diverted from the policy-hardly
patriotic in time of war-of arbitrarily
obstructing labor organization of the
conservative type.
"The department is of course aware of
proposals, more popular earlier in the
war than now, TO settle labor disputes
by coercing wage earners. But these
proposals are both unfair and imprac-
ticable. There are also widely regarded.
