SOLDIERS BABIES

Our present state of war does not
warrant any relaxation Of interest
in the subject OF infant welfare this
year. On the contrary, we owe it
to the fathers who, as volunteers
and conscripts, must be away from
home to do our part in saving their
babies lives. Those brave fellows
are doing enough in risking their
lives for the safety and happiness of
the nation.
1t may seem that there is not a
very close connection between
fathers fighting in Europe and his
baby's living here, but there is. A
reduced family income affects the
baby seriously, especially in high
cost-Ofliving market. 1t may mean
the substitution of cheap, low
grade OF milk for pure milk In one
instance know of, this killed a
baby last summer when our men
were only so far away as the Mex
lean border.
The efficiency of fighting men, fur
thermOre, is affected by whether
their minds are harrassed or at
peace concerning the health and
welfare of their families back home.
This fact has been emphasized by
;aptain Cathro, u. S. Army, WHO
speaks not on theory but on the
authority of a veteran soldier.
Doubtless, there would have been
a far larger number of volunteers
had not many an otherwise willing
solder been deferred from enlisting
by the question of the health and
help of his wife and children.
Another reason more remote but
no less patriotic, was voiced by
John Burns when he said: Give me
intelligent motherhood and good pre-
natal conditions, and l have no doubt
of the future of this or any other
nation" Patriotism, humanity, love
for babies and a sense of fair play,
all combine to compel us not to lose
sight of the lives and welfare of our
babies at home while we are driv-
ing with every ounce of our power
for the babies and people of Bel
GUM and France.

President Lincoln A Great General
That President Lincoln was the
greatest military genius of the Civil
War is the statement made by Captain
Conger, U. S. A, in book just pub
lished by the Wisconsin Historical
Society. From his correspondence
with his generals, Captain Conger,
"a very interesting and thoroughly up
to-date book of tactical principles
might be complied; and it would also
be very witty one, for with his
originality Of expressions he put his
suggestions into language as pictur-
esque as it were terse and vigorous. !"
Lincoln in his tactical ideas was not
only ahead of his generals but in ad-
vance of his time. His statement of
the tactical problem of the North was
..long jeered at by pedants, but the
author affirms that the European
general stats of today could not put
into clearer language the guiding
tactical principle by which both of the
contestants have been acting in the
present war, and by which Mr.. Lincoln
and his subordinates had to act if they
were to win. The author contends
that Lincoln's transcendent military
ability is even yet but dimly ap-
preciated by the American people; and
that eventually his reputation in this
respect will stand as high as it now
does with respect to politics and
craftsmanship.
