million the number of babies who

the British Local Government Board,
Some 40 per cent fewer German ba-

The infant death rate, which rose to
an abnormal height for time after
the outbreak of war, appears to hyae
gradually returned to the pre-waf
rate. The food difficulties have not
led to an excessive number of babies

In the towns where the food shortage
was most acute, the death rate tended
to fall.

AMERICAN WOMAN
Suffered Indignities at
Hands of Yaqui In
dams

Washington. Jan. "A report by
the American consul at Nogales to
the State department of the massacre
of passengers on a Southern Pacific
train by Yaqui Indians in Mexico adds
to the news dispatches the informa-
ton that an American woman was
one Of the victims. She was stripped
of her clothing, but escaped and now
is in a hospital at Empale, suburb
Of Guayamas.
The report says the Yaquis placed
an obstruction on the track over which
the engine and the cars carrying the
military escort passed safely, but the
passenger coaches were derailed. The
Indians entered the coaches, killing the
passengers in their seats. Fire placed
beneath the cars failed to burn them.
The engine was cut loose and run
to Lcncho station, where Mexican
troops were loaded and carried back
to the wreck and drove the Indians
away.
Information reaching the consul is
that 500 Yaquis were in the attack
ing party. 1t appears that OF the 80
passengers on the trains only seven
escaped unframed.
