related Of a~sstruggle between a party

Baby Week Work This
Year To Save Mothers
From Death al Childbirth
(By United pross.l

Washington, Mar. 9O.-Plans to make
Baby Week celebrations throughout the
country this year from May l to May 6,
a huge educational movement for the
reduction of mortality among women at
childbirth are under way at the Chill
dren's Bureau of the Department of
Labor today.
Baby week celebrations in the past
have been directed more towards re-
ducing infant mortality. The fact, how.
ever, that $4,000 mothers are dying IA
nually from conditions incident to
childbirth has opened up an even
greater problem, the bureau announced.
Ignorance and neglect are the prime
causes for this high mortality.
Many women,p one official at the
bureau said, edo not seem to realize
how much their own health and the
health of their children depends on the
intelligent care of the mother before
her baby is born. Baby week can help
mothers in various ways and it viii be
made the starting point, this year, for
certain concrete activities
Plans now being completed, will in
clude ccnters for mothers living in the
country to gather and take prenatal
educational work. The needs of rural
mothers are less generally understood
than those of city mothers and a rural
nursing service is urged as one means
of reducing the mortality rate in see
| tions far removed from the city.

Omitted Press staff correspondent)
Washington. Mar. 20.-Aetual decla
ration of war by the United States
against Germany appears to depend up
on the fate which befalls the first arm.
ed American liner. 1t also appeared
today that avowal of hostilities by
President Wilson against the Imperial
German government will not result
from the sinking of three American
freighters last Saturday
While taking every preparedness step
which he believes can be taken, Presi-
dent Wilson is ioathe to take furth-
er action.
He has more aggressive steps under
consideration, however, and this after
noon discussed all phases of the prob
LEM with his cabinet, which convened at
2:30.
1t has been definitely ascertained
that the president strongly questions
the advisability of "'forcing" the pres
ent situation. He is understood to feel
that everything that possibly could be
done to meet actual hostilities now
believed inevitable---is being DONE He
further questions whether calling con-
gress into extra session before April
16 would accomplish any particular
good.
The president is understood to feel
that the program he has outlined thus
far does not call for actual declaration
of war at this time, despite calls from
the country for such an act. If an arm
ed American ship is attacked, the situa-
nil oil 70 +bn nd
step.
The president is declared today how
ever, to be still considering all phases
of the present situation and it may be
day or two-pGssibly mOre-before
any further decision is announced.
Meantime the very fact that he has
delayed this long, has given rise to the
general belief in official circles that q
session of congress before April 16 is
unlikely.
The United States will gain an i'm
mense advantage in coping with sub
marines if it can drift into a state
of active warfare without formal dec
laration of war, military men here held
today. They have so told White House
officials.
Under such condition this country
they pointed out, could engage in an
industrial cooperation with the allies
which, it is believed, would soon break
the back of the central powers.
Munitions and gold could then be
poured across the Atlantic between
lanes of allied and United States war.
ships.
Should the United States, however
declare formal war, public opinion here
would demand an immediate cessation
of shipments of war materials abroad
until the country accumulated suffic
lent supplies to care for itself. 1t would
then be "America first with the pub
lie insistent that American resources
be conserved. at least until the country
is on an adequate war footing.

Grand Duke Nicholas
Caused AbdicatiOn

Petrograd, Mar 2O-The Grand Duke
Nicholas cemented his alliance with the
people in the Russian revolution and
added to his popularity today when it
became known that it was he who had
really induced Gar Nicholas to abdi-
cate.
1t was revealed that the grand duke
held lengthy audience with the EN-
peror and urged this step upon him
prior to the visit of the revolutionary
committee bearing the abdication dee
laration.
One other bit of history made public
today, was that the action of the Rus.

with the exception of l5 members who
stood out for immediate establishment
