IN The Berlin "Tagcblstt' On Janu-
srv 10. 1917. Dr.. Engel. one OF the Al
dermen Of Berlin. stated that there
were 100000 Legitimate children
born IN Germany since the beginning OF
the war. and that this number was in
,roasing Of the rate OF 10000 annually
in Berlin.
"OrIy vigorous rich increase IN
Childbirth can make mp for the enor-
nous loss Of life which the war brings
IL, daily" declared Dr.. EngeL "The in
crease in population must. therefore,
be recognized az one Of the most i'm
oortant problems Of the future. 10
continue the increase in population we
are forced to consider the illegitlmate
birth. which is already 10 per cent Of
.he normal rate. The war cOmpels u.s.,
also. whether We wish it or not, 10 con-
slider this kind Of increase in popula-
ton in the future in kindier man
rer. Our object now must be to bet
ter the situation for the illcgitimate
child"
This frank statement by one Of Ber-
Inns physicians, who is connected with
the city government, shows that social
conditions i'm Germany have reached
the point where they demand careful
consideration.
DR.. Engel presents other startling
statistics. He states that the number
Of illegitimate children born in cities
such as Berlin. Hamburg and Munich
las increased from - per cent in 1914
tc - per cent in 1916. He declares that
unless the government does something
Immediately TO legitimatize these chill

Plan to Legitimize Children
The problems confronting the city
and nation as a result Of this situation
are a. numerous as they are important
I'm the first place. the government. the
doctors and the educational classes do
not Ike the idea of having these chill
dren raised as illegtimate offspring.
They want the government 20 adopt the

To Take Mothers Names
Prostitution at tie same tine has

Hamburg, Munich. Cologne and Frank
fort there are no war time red Ign
districts. For over a year the proc
lens incident TO the birth Of illeglti-
mate children have been attracting the
attention of physicians. The plan
which IL seems probable the govern
ment will sanction is the following:
Every child born to an unmarried
woman will take the name OF the
mother. The city already pays all the
expenses at birth. After that the
mothers will be given from 20 ,
marks day toward the cost Of caring
for and feeding the infant. As the
child gets older it Will be supported by
the state until it is old enough TO go 70
work. Its education in the public
schools will be entirely az the govern
ment expense. After i is fourteen
years Of age it will have an opportunity
Of learning a trade or some kind Of
business at the governments expense.
The reason the birth rate Of illegiti-
mate childrea is constantly increasing
is because the government indirectly
encourages. especially the working
girls. TO believe that it IS their duty
TO tho fatherlard 20 recreatc the race.
Married women are encouraged in the

PREVENTION AGAINST FIRE.
Keep Drop Cords From Contact With
Nails Warns Fire Chief.


Owing to the series of serious fires
which recently has visited the city,
Fire Chief A. T. Anderson is asking
the public to aid in prevention against
fire by precautionary measures which
may be observed in every home and
business and manufacturing plant and
possibly may result in fewer fire losses
and certainly in decreased fire hazard.
One recent fire, at least, in the judg-
ment of the chief, was the result of a
nail driven into the wall coming in
contact with an electric line wire and
being SO charged as to ignite the lath
thru which 1t was driven.
In the course of inspection OF build
ings recently the fire chief and MEM
bers of the department found numer-
Gus cases of drop cords and loose elec-
trio wires strung or Topped over nails.
In some cases the insulation of the
wires had worn away, thus forming a
fire hazard which vas due purely to
neglect or carelessness.
The public is warned not to loop
drop cords or hang loose electric light
wires over nails or metal fixturese on
walls. If this little precaution Is taken
it is believed the fire risk this winter
may he lessened.

Story Of Alleged Draft Dodser, Arrest

A special TO the Times Republican

of the difficulty authorities are meet

tiles are having difficulty in u~nraveling
the case Of John Lametz, arrested IN
Marshalltown recently on the charge of
evading the draft laws. Lametz will
talk but little and the story he did
tell to a secret service mar is SO un-
usual that it seems like fiction.
The man gave his name as John La

he said MarsnaiiJown lie Declared he
had no home, however, and when he
was questioned as to his age, replied:

clue the authorities have. 1t would be
little use, the officers say, to write to

no information is ever given out by
