SAYS MANY LOSE LIVES
THROUGH IGNORANCE
DR.. Grace L. Meigs Cites Fatality
Among Mothers Caused by
Lack of Care.

More women fifteen to forty FIVE years
OF age die in the United States from
CONDITIONS incident to maternity than
from any ether cause except tubercu-
iosis. And since 1900, while the death
rates from tuberculosis. typhoid, diph-
therla and Group. and certain other
preventable diseases have been greatly
reduced. the available figures for the
death registration area show no de-
crease in the proportion of mothers
whose lives are sacrificed yearly to
Ignorance and improper care in child
birth.
These facts and their causes, with a
detained study of maternal death rates
IN the United States and foreign coun-
tries, are set forth in bulletin on
Materna! Mortality" by DR.. Grace L.
Melss, which has just been issued by
the chIldren's bureau of the Depart

A Cry Against Business
as Usual"
By WALT WHITMAN

Deaf. beat, drums blow, bugles,
- blow!
Through the windows-through doors
burst like n ruthless force,
Into the solemn church, and scatter the
congregation,
Into the school, where the scholar is
studying;
Leave not the bridegroom quiet-no
happiness must he have now
with his bride,
Nor the peaceful farmer any peace,
ploughing his field or gathering
his grain,
So fierce you whirr and pound, you
drums-so shrill you bugles
blow.
Beat, beat, drums blow, bugles,
blow!
Over the traffic of cities-over the
rumble of wheels in the streets;
Are beds prepared for sleepers at
night in the houses? No sleepers
must sleep in those beds,
No bargainers' bargains by day-no
brokers or speculators-would
they continue?
Would the takers be talking? Would
the singer attempt to sing?
Would the lawyer rise in the court to
state his case before the judge?
Then rattle quicker, heavier, drums
you bugles, wilder blow!
Beat, beat, drums!-blow, bugles,
blow!
Make no parley-stop for no expostu-
lation,
Mind not the timid-mind not the
weeper or prayer,
Mind not the old man beseeching the
young man,
Let not the chid's voice be heard, nor
the mothers entreaties,
Make even the trestles to shake with
dead where they lie awaiting the
hearses,
So strong you thump, o terrible drums
so loud you bugles blow!

will it involve, what will II cost, what may
he gain-or lose-by the venture? should
list four essential factors or conditions with
out which il would probably be impractical
bic, or at least purely luxurious, TO keep one
COW.
First there should be at least an acre OF
grass land available, and three or four IL
possible these, of course, may just as well
be rented as owned. Second. there must be
adequate and suitable shelter, as described
below; at all events a building that admits
of modification and adaptation. Third, there
must be assured constant, regular, intelligent
care. The car may go unwashed, the garden
unoultivated, the dog and horse unfed Tor
time without serious injury; but If mixing
time comes round and the COW Is not at
tended to, serious, even fatal, results VIII
follow promptly. This may prove the vital
issue IL n man of -all-work is not Kept on
the place Fourth, there must be supply OF
feed, either homegrown, from nelghboring
farmers or purchased at feed store here
the price element may prove prohibitve.
con the other side of the argument we
have the incontrovertible facts that milk is
one of the most valuable of foods and that
a family COW may be the source of bountl-
full supply in the very best condition and of
the best quality.
at is difficult, if not impossible, to give
figures suggesting the cost of keeping one
COW and the probable profit or possible loss.
Prices of labor and feed, land values, re-
ouirements of different cows and most OF
the other controlling factors vary widely
from time to time and from place to place
and make averages hopeless. Also we can
not take practical farm figures, for there one
COW is but unit in herd and the herd but
one feature of the farm business; prices are
wholesale and special overhead" charges arc
reduced TO a minimum. The one-cow dairy
man, on the other hand, has to buy practl-
caly all his feed in small quantities and at
highest retail prices; the care of the COW
is special task; his equipment and pro-
cramme do not enable the work to be done
in the quickest, most economical way; but he
can charge up his product at the price nc
would have to pay for it; not at the farmers

The Freedom Of the Seas
/ Must Be Maintained

You want 70 have the freedom OF the seas
safeguarded What do you mean by this de-
mand? The progress of our mercantile feet
before the war was magnificent Our feet
passed proudly through all seas, and no one
prevented it. What does that phrase mean
In time of peace this freedom is secured.
How do you intend 70 do it for the case of a
war? For social order which no longer pro-
duces wars, a social order like the Socialist,
the freedom of the seas is no problem. A
long as there are wars the freedom of the
seas will be restricted in time of war by the
party that has the means TO restrict II. What
guarantees do you want against that? There
is only one possible guarantee which prom
ises success against that; universal disarma-
ment and simultaneous abolition Of the right
OF capture.
After the ambiguous statements, your reso.
luton concludes with blast OF war trumpet
with an Indictment of war passions instead Of
a strengthening of the peace will. But our
people does not want the fury OF war; 1t

Daper after another not only the papers Oh
the C. W. S. D., not only Gorki's paper, but
all of them, declared that It was by no
means calculated 20 advance the cause OF
peace. You will. therefore have TO learn TO
measure the effects Of the steps you take if
YOU do not want TO fail in the future as IN
the past What We have experienced 20 our
grevous loss the part of the government
is also true of the Majority Socialists; they
cannot understand the thoughts and feelings
of other nations, and consequently they
blunder from one failure into another.
Our resolution excludes all ambiguity. The
Socialists of all countries know what we
desire and for what we strive. We have
also set down our views on peace policy IN a
memorandum.
'Haase then read the declaration of the
German Minority Socialist Delegation in
Stockholm.
There is nothing which can justify the
prolongation of this war. The war must be
brought to an end quickly. One cannot get
TO the end by such dissatisfaction as the
new Chancellor has shown. He wants TO
wait until the enemy makes a peace offer.
He thought we had done enough by stretch
ing out the hand in December. The hand
grasped the air. We must call ourselves
also 20 account on the question why II was
not grasped. We called attention then IN
this place to the fact that this step was
completely mistaken First of all. the gov
eminent knew that Wilson was contemplat-
ing peace mediation; on grounds OF domes-
tic politics the peace offer was made before
Wilson's mediation proposal and on basis
so vague that it was absolutely inadequate
TO be the basis for negotiations There
can be only one clear basis for peace pro-
posals, the basis which is now again and
again indicated particularly in Petrograd
and Stockholm, namely, peace without an
nexations without war indemnites, recog
nizng the rights OF the peoples to self-de-
termination. This basis was already ex-
pressed in the international Socialist Con-
ference at Zimmerwald in September, 1915,
where the peoples were summoned to self
government and to the fight for peace In
terruptions from the majority You were
for rejecting war indemnities? No one
credits you with il. That is an undying
historical service done by the Zimmerwald
international Conference, and the Socialist
parties of Russia acknowledged that SER
vice, il cannot be denied. We must. there
fore, gentlemen, be quite clear, that in no
other way can we arrive at peace save by
accepting as our own these demands, accept
ing them in full, without limitations, let the
military and the pan-Germans protest
against it as they may.

in a desire to SOW distrust in this country

"This demand evidences the old British at

England desires with all her heart that the

pose the Kaiser's manifestoes are printed

German edition of the New York Ameri-

Congress at Moscow: THE Russian labor

ference at Moscow. Probably they think
that this is too mixed company"
The "Brooklyner Freie PreSse," which
