find a successor for Chin Chin. but

trick again when he produced his
latest musical comedy, Stop. Look,

Stop, Look, Listen had most phe-

bristles with Broadway entertainment.
Such a galaxy of comedy talent has
seldom been gathered together; such
colors in costumes are witnessed but
rarely and such music could only come

FRENCH BIRTH RATE
SHOWING A DECLINE

NEW YORK, Nov. Mrs. Ruther
ford Stuyvesant, chairman of the
American Committee of the Charlie
Maternelle de Paris, has issued on be-
half of that French charity, which is
one of the oldest in the world, ami
the first president of which was Queen
Marie Antoinette, an appeal for aid
for the infant children under the care
o. the organization. Mrs. Stuyvesant
says that mo appeal can be too large,
none can be too small for the great
endeayor of building the new genera
ton on which will fall after the great
est war of history the task of a rem
iassance of the world"
"Of all the perils which menace
France" Mrs. Stuyvesant says, &c
population is one Of the most i'm
minent The following statistics will
show the actual facts of the situatio
compared with that of the United
States: The irth rate ofb 1916 IN
France is estimated by the French aa>
thorities as only per 1000, and ar
the same time the death rate has un-
doubleday increased, and is over 20
per 1000, quite aside from the deaths
occurring from militar Operations. +"
1t is pointed out that in 1914 the
population of France was 39,500,000,
and that at the beginning of the war
the EXCESS of births over deaths was
about $4,000 annually In 1916, the
deaths in the civilian population total
ed 100000, and in the military forces
100000, a total of 100000. The num-
Der of births in France in 1916 was
$4,000, or 788, 1000 fewer than the num-
Der of deaths. For purposes of conf
pairing conditions in this country and
those il France it is pointed out that
in New York state the birth rate is
"a per 1000, and the death rate IA, in
each 1000.
The Charlie Maternelle which IS
caring for SO many French infants was
founded about 1884, the object of the
society being the adoption of the
children of the poor at birth and dur
ing the first year of their infancy, to-
gether with direct supervision of their
care in the homes of their parents
by the women administrators of the
society who bring into the homes
spiritual aid as well as physical care
and comfort.
Since 1884" Mrs. Stuyvesant says,
"the society has been endowed and
promised by the French Government
for its efficient work. In 1914 there
were 10000 men who enlisted at the
first call of the flag who were children
of Charlie Martenell, the society hav-
ing cared for them in their infancy.
Since the war, the women of the so
ciety, assisted by sisters of charity,
have redoubled their efforts and given
themselves devotedly to the work, saw
ing thousands of little children from
death and tuberculosis.

MOST DOCS ARE
AFFLICTED WITH
!. RABIES, HE SAYS
DIR. Black Relieves Apparently
Healthy Dog Can Trans
nit Disease.

DIR. John T. Black, commissioner
of the state board OF health, has un-
earthed a theory which, If it can be
substantiated, bids fair to deal stag
gering blow to dogs as domestic ami
mails. He has been studying the cpl.
dennic or rabies. and he has found
there are many Of the cases of dis
ease which are so mild that they show
no physical symptoms.
These same cases he had noted,
however, are capable of transmitting
rabies to other animals or to human
beings and the persons or animals
who take it from them may develop
a vfruIent type Of the disease. Is it
not possible, asks DE-. Black, that
nearly all dogs have the disease, that
It Is something much like tuberculosis
with human beings, which. practically
every person has at some time in his
life, but from which the majority
recover?
Other veterinarians who have been
familiar with the rabies, admit that
there are many instances of sporadic
outbreaks of the disease which might
well be traced to this cause. It is
felt that this may be the reason why
a dog will contract a violent case of
the rabies when no mad dog has been
seen or heard Of in the community.
|. The theory is yet to, be substantial
ed. If it can be proved by expert
ment, thatAsa apparently healthy dog
which has Nigri bodies in its brain,
can transmit the rabies, by biting,
the death knell of the dog will have
been sounded. It will be dangerous
to have the animal around, as a mere
nip from even the most harmless
appearing dog will be likely to prove
critical.
This theory has been carried
further, and the statement has been
made that dogs may be carriers for
the disease, which will not suffer
from it themselves. The point is
made that their resistance power may
be strong enough to keep the rabies
germs from getting the upperhand in
their systems, and yet that they will
be able, when they bite any person
Or animal to transmit the disease.
Veterinarians who have heard DR..
Blacks theory say that it sounds ex-
cedingly plausible and that if it
should be true it will be one of the
greatest scientific discoveries of the
year, They also say that should it
be substantiated. it means no more
dogs for pets.

 The United States has invited either disaster or victory. Which will it be? No workman,no farmer, no villager, no wealthy recluse can escape. Every one Is right up against this Awar.
 Not even by shutting his eyes can the fool or the foolhardy escape the fact that we have got to go down to defeat and pay huge war indemnitIes to victorious Germany for the redemp- tion of our sea trade and of our crush ed allies, or rise to victory. Victory did not come to powerful Britain. nor to heroic France. Nor will it come 10 Us without paying the cost.
 The cost of victory over German militarism is the loss of many Ameri- can lives, of much American treasure and the sacrifice of luxury and ease by those at home.
