SUMNER FOES OF BABIES.

July is the first of four months of
special danger to babies, and this year
war conditions make the summer
months particularly hazardous accord
ing to information made public today
by the Children's Bureau of the U. S.
Department of Labor.
In July the deaths of children under
two from certain easily preventable
digestive diseases are usually more
than double those in June. By August
the deaths from diarrhea and enteritis
are three times what they are in June,
and the number does not fall again to
the June level until November.
Conditions which lower the resist
ance of children make these diseases
more threatening. This year the war
makes it more difficult and costly to
feed children properly, as they must
be fed if they are to be strong and
we'll to resist disease. At the same
time the toll of deaths on the Europ-
can battlefelds makes it more neces-
sary to conserve babies lives.
This combination of circumstances
has made it imperative to increase
public and private work to protect
babies this summer The national
baby test has pointed the special
health needs of the children in hun
dreds of communities and found out
the children who must have special
care. Communities are using various
ways eto meet the needs revealed by
the test. One way is to advertise the
value and economy of using milk,
even at a high price per quart, in
feeding children. AS one New England
mother said, milk is less expensive
than doctors bills.
The one way which has proved most
effective in saving babies lives is the
employment of public health nurses.
The public health nurse both in the
city and the country can make gen
orally known the most modern means
of guarding children's health, and the
Children's Bureau believes that the
places which are employing such
nurses to protect their children and
to meet the needs revealed by the
test can in tina tway do much to save
babies and thereby to meet the wars
demand that life shall be conserved.

PARIS. Dec. 16.-WhIe Press

that he will visit Pope Benedict. it

without embarrassment because Of
the difficulties between the Vatican

go 10 the American embassy. where
he will be met by { he rector and

KAISER IS CONCERNED
 OVER INTERNAL STRIFE,

Unrest among the working people
 of Germany has not yet quieted down
 nor has the political conflict between
 the pan-Germans and the non-mili-
 tarists lessened appreciably. Concern
 over the internal security of the en- pire appears in the message sent by
 Emperor William in answer to birth day congratulations from the reich stag.
 To President Kaempg. of the reich stag, the emperor expressed his "ar- dent. wish" that the German people
 may preserve their union until the final victory of our arms" The em- peror declared that he enters upon a 'seriOus and decisive year" The
 reichstag is reported to have refus- ed to vote confidence in the govern
 ment. mainly through socialist oppo- sition.
 Efforts to agitate general strike
 in Berlin on Monday are declared to
 have failed. Leaflets calling for such a strike were distributed widely in the German capital but it is said that
 workmen in only few factories were idle.

SHORE IN SIGHT WHEN

LONDON: Thomas Smith. of Glas-
 gow, boatswain's mate on the Tus- cania, said the steamer was proceed ing to an English port under con- voy.

 I've commenced lowering boats OF the starboard side. The soldiers were
 lined upon the deck waiting for tho
 boats. Unfortunately many jumped overheard.
 , "I found the boat at number 90
 station, to which had proceeded, had
 been blown to pieces. then helped
 to get boats 1 to 2 safely away. After seeing these launched, proceeded to the other deck where launched a raft. picked up IA sol diers and two of the ships company
 who were swimming about. We had
 no oars and had to paddle along with
 our hands. We were picked up at
 o'clock in the evening and landed
 Wednesday morning." The first survivors were landed at
 4:3O o'clock Wednesday morning.
 From then on until 2 a. m., many
 patrol boats arrived, each bringing a
 full complement of survivors. The
 number of them by that time had
 reached $50. including 40 members of the crew.
 All the medical men at Larne on
 the eastern coast of Ireland where
 some of the survivors were landed
 were requisitioned. There was sufficient time for the re-
 moval of all those on board the Tus- cania, as she remained afioat for
 about two hours after being torped- oed.
 The Tuscania was one of a convoy
 of troops provision ships, which af-
 ter the long and hazardous voyage across the Atlantic. was entering what until recently were considered com- paratively safe waters. The ships were
 within sight of land, which was just
 distinguished in the dusk of evening
 when a torpedo hit the Tuscania
 amidships.
 The steamer took a heavy list
 which made proper lowering of the
 boats impracticable. Some men jump
 ed into the sea. Others were thrown i into the water when the boats were l lowered
 The survivors are receiving every attention.
