DEGREES DEATH To
TERRIBLY
DEF ORMEDAT BIRTH

CHICAGO, July 30.-Dr. H. J. Hal
selden, who let baby Bollinger die
because nature had made a mistake,
has again decreed that nature shall
be allowed to rectify her own errors.
He has decreed death for the infant
daughter of William and Mrs. Eva
Meter, of West Pullman.
When the child was born the attend
ing physician directed that DR.. Haisel-
den be called and said he would abide
by the doctors decision was for death.
The child's upper skull cap was
missing. A diminutive brain which
seemed to promise imbecility was COW
cred only by a thin, transparent mem
brane. There was no neck attached
directly to the shoulders Both ears
were misshapen. The arms were with
cut muscles or tendons and incapable
Of functioning
IF l saved the infant I should pre-,
serve it to life of wretchedaess. 1t
would be a burden to itself and others
Nature will rectify it's own mistakes.
/ will feed it as long as life remains.
but | will not operate"
The parents bowed to the doctors
ruling.
DR.. Haiselden's decree of death for
baby Bollinger created comment all
over the civilized world. The Ill.
nois board of health and Illinois med
ical society were asked to revoke the
doctors license to practice and the
moralists engaged in bait e which
was waged in the daily and medical
press for months. However, no action
was taken and the doctor continued
his practice undisturbed
DR.. Haiselden stated he believed
that the infants condition was due tc
TIE fact that only a few months
before the child was born man plung-
ed from the Edison building here tc
his death on the sidewalk directly in
front of Mrs. Meter. His skulled was
crushed.
Baby Meters skull is gone in cor
responding region of the head. The
parallel is significant" said DR.. Hal
selden. And it only confirms my
opinion that children are marked be-
fore birth despite contrary opinions OF
many leading physicians.

FRENCH FINANCES
.UNSHAkEN BY WAR


have been mistaken by the war in the
opinion expressed to the Associated
Press by Charles Gide, of the Univer-
sity Of Paris, an eminent authority on
economic questions, discussing the out
look at the beginning of the fourth year
of the conflict.
France" said NJ. eide, has spent
about 10000 100000 on three years of
military effort. Yet in the thirty-sixtH
month of hostilities, the French people
are investing in short-term treasury
bonds as freely as they were two years
ago. that it, at the rate of about ,000,-
100000 a month"
AS evidence of the excellence of the
French credit, NJ. eide pointed to the
cooperation of the United States,
which, he said, brings formidable aid
to France and her allies. This" he
continued, mot only removes all doubt
concerning the result of the war from
q military standpoint, but relieves the
financial situation by diminishing the
drain upon French gold.
THE money which France has spen,
TO sustain her military effort inside the
country swells the figures of her out
lay to immense proportions, but this
outlay cannot be considered dead loss,
except in such proportion as is spent
for steel, explosives and other material
made to be destroyed Increased prices
l paid for every commodity, it must be
l remembered also, has vastly increased
/ the revenues of the French people. Be-
1 fore the war these revenues were &c.
h Geo, 100000 to thirty-five billion francs.
\ Now they are fifty billion francs an
nually. These figures show that, for
midable as the war debt may appear
at first sight, the problem Of its liqui-
cation is not so alarming after all.
France can stand another year of
war outlay quite as well as she stood
the third year. 1t would be embarrass-
ing for her to pay in gold for every
thing bought abroad, but this difficulty
has been relieved by the credit gener-
ously granted by the United States.
France will get through the war
1 financially sound, will reconstruct her
industries rapidly and her interior sit
uation will be liquidated without caus-
ing an economic upheaval" Referring
t, the situation of other belli2erents.
/ NJ. eide said:
Il do not think any country will be
ruined by the war All are more or
less in the situation of France. The
only real drain upon their resources II
what they pay abroad. The best expe1
diture is that which might be called
fictions; that is, the transfer of money
from the pockets of some citizens to
the pockets of others, a transfer in
l which a great many new fortunes have
been built up, but in which the real
riches of the country have been left
untouched"
Referring to the economic measures
to be taken after the war and to the
complaints by Germany of an effort by
her enemies to ruin her economically
NJ eide said:
THE talk of an economic war after
the belligerents lay down their arms
has almost subsidized. l consider it nei-
Their possible nor useful for Germany
to be crushed commercially. She will
be vanquished on the battlefield, her
military power will be crushed, but
she will be left free to work out her
own economic destiny"

CROUCH REPORT
NOT DEFINITE
ON POWER ISSUE
Professor Notifies City Off
Gals that Estimates are
Incomplete.

Estimates on the cost of abandon
ing the steam power now used by the
city in the water plant, and substitute
ing electricity furnished by the Red
River Power company, considered al
the last session of the Grand Forks
council, were not definite, according
to Den Calvin c. Crouch, of the n
versity of North Dakota, professor OF
mechanical engineering and director
of machine shops, who has been rep
resenting the city. a
Alderman j.. D. Turner, chairman
of the committee that is investigating
the advisability of making the change.
received a letter from Dean Crouch
this morning. who is spending the
summer in the east. The estimate
given before his departure, was mere
ly a report of progress. according to
the communication, and the represen-
tative recommends that no action be
taken until the work has been COM
pleted.
The statement by Dean Crouch will
make necessary the recapttulation OF
the estimates compiled by the power
company, and a second formal pres
entation of views before the city u
Gil. Active steps cannotsbe taken by
officials until the complete report of
the proposition of the electrical con-
cern will then be brought up for con-
s~ideration.
The power company offers to relieve
the city of the task Of pumping all
water used in Grand Forks and fur
nish power for other ~incidentals, at a
cost, claimed to be much lower than
the present rate of operation under
the preset system.

ALL ENLISTMENTS
ARE CREDITS UP
TO JUNE 80

The table from which the net quotas
were compiled show that all enlist
ments in the National Guard and the
regular army up to June 80 nave been
allowed as credits. The instruction to
governors from the secretary Of war,
accompanying the table directs COVER
nors Of the various states to allot the
state quota as given among the exemp-
ton boards districts, so that each
board in each district will know ex-
actly the number of men to be fur
nished by the district in filling the
state quota.
Contrary to expectations, the gov
eminent has allowed credit for the
total strength Of the National Guard,
including all those who were in the
service prior to April / and who had
been retained. The figures are given
as follows:
Total strength Of the National Guard
On April 1, 1917, 164,292.
Enlisted in the National Guard be-
tween April l and June 80, 1879.
Enlisted in the regular army be-
tween April l and June 80. 117,964..
This means that the United States
now has enrolled or under arms APP
proximately 467,000 men classed az
war volunteers and. therefore, consti-
tute credit to be allowed to the state
from which they enlisted.

SWIMMING POOL
FOR SOUTH END
Popularity of Riverside Park
Pool Starts Talk for One
in Lincoln.

A number of south side residents
have expressed their delight with the
new swimming tank in Riverside
park, and many persons from that
section of the city are taking advant-
age of the fine opportunities which
the pool affords.
But it is generally thought that the
pool is too far away for those who
want to send their children. and today
there is much talk Of making an at
tempt at arousing sentiment in favor
of a south side swimming pool. 1t is
possible that a committee of public
spirited citizens will get together and
talk the matter over and then a sub
scription campaign may be started.
Several south side residents said to.
day that they thought Lincoln park
would be an ideal place for an addi-
tional swimming tank as it would be
somewhat central for the entire south
side.
No definite steps have been taken
yet, but the question is being freely
and eagerly discussed, and it is proba-
BILE that action will soon begin.

Gated and practised in the west Of late
has taken many forms. Lumber mills
have had their costly saws splintered
by spikes driven into logs. In the
orchard districts fruit trees have died
after copper nails had been hammer

The organizers claim the movement
to be world wide. The red flag is the
proposed universal banner and each
member Of the organization carries a
red card. Membership is sought in
all branches Of industry. Organizers
say $4,000 farm laborers belong and

FARMERS SHOULD GET
MACHINERY REPAIRS
EARLY THIS SEASON

Fargo. N. D., July 12.-In order to
do away with the great rush for har-
vest machinery repairs which generally
starts about August first, the farmers
of North Dakota were urged to over
haul their harvest machinery now.
Owing to the high prices of iron
and steel, the farm machinery COM
panies will probably carry fewer re-
pairs than usual, which may result
In a shortage during harvest time.
The farmers were also advised to stock
up on binding Irvine.
