 The annual collection of death sta tistics from states and cities maintain ing adequate registration systems was begun by the Census Bureau in 1902, the first report covering the calendar years 1900 to 1904. inclusive, and for each succeeding year a separate re- port has been published. The original registration area contained 40 per cent. of the total population of the country. It remained unchanged until 1906, since which year it has shown ! an almost uninterrupted increase in geographical extent and in proportion l of total population, until at present it , contains nearly three-fourths of the countrys inhabitants
 1 In birth registration highly satisfac- tory progress has been made during the past two years, although there are still number of states in which ade- i quate death registration prevails, but | in which the registration of births has not yet reached a sufficiently close ap- proclamation to com mpleteness to justify the acceptance of the local records by the Census Bureau. The birth regis tration area, as at present constituted, | comprises Is StateS-the SIX New Eng land States, New York, Pennsylvania Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina Kentucky Ohio, Indiana, Michigan Wisconsin, Minnesota, Utah and 1 Washington and the District of Co., lum bia. The area is estimated to con tain about 51 per cent. of the tota,
 population of the country, as agains1 ] about 31 per cent. when the collection
 of birth statistics was begun, little more than two years ago, from an area comprising the six New England States, New York, Pennsylvania
 Michigan. Minnesota and the Distric | of Columbia.
 This growth, in so short a time, !s very gratifying, indeed. It is, how
 ever, unfortunate that in the United
 States the registration of vital phe
 nomena has thus far depended, first upon adequate state or municipal leg islation, and, second, upon the ade 1 uuate enforcement of that legislation ! AS a result some states and munici palities maintain efficient registratio,
 systems while others do not Unti the matter IS placed under fedora ] control or supervision it is not Hkel that reliable birth and d~ h records
 approximating completent~W will com into existence throughout the entir
 United States. Since the military reg 1 istration of June 5. 1917, the desir , ability Of maintaining such records ha
 become apparent to all.

ASK PLEDGES TO
 BUY WAR STAMPS
Every Adult Will Be Solicited
 During June Campaign

Hartford. May 21.-Plans were an- nounced today by the Connecticut War Savings Committee for an inten- sive drive beginning the middle of June and eliminating on June 2S, when the entire adult population of the state will be expected to register definite pledges covering the amounts of War Savings Stamps to be pur- chased for the remainder of the year
 Under the direction of the treasury department, countrywide campaign will be conducted in the next few weeks to secure from every loyal American a pledge to save regularly and buy War Savings Stamps at peri odic intervals, as an evidence of his desire to support the Government in the prosecution of the war. June 2S Is the date set for those who have ac- cepted this patriotic obligation to stand up and be counted.
 This does not mean that the War l Savings cam mpaign will terminate on that date, but rather that by that l time all citizens who are heart and 1 soul behind the government will be i expected to have evidenced their loy- l alty by making at least their initial
 purchase of War Savings Stamps.
 From that time on the government will count upon Q definite weekly in- come from those who have pledged l themselves to invest the results of l their savings in War Savings Stamps. Secretary McAdoo's announcement. made public by the Connecticut War Savings Com mittee, reads in part: Tt is essential that the American people economize and save in order to make available to their Govern
 ment the money indispensably need l ed tor the war and to release sup piles and labor required for the pro- auction of things necessary for our own military forces of the nations as- sociated with us.

LIKE HIS IMPERIAL MASTER
Won 5ueIow, Under the Wings Of the
German Eagle, Typical as Of Ill
Omen to Mankind.

From Brand Whitlock's story Of Ger
man oppression in Belgium in Every
bedy's Magazine, we take the following
account of a single incident that oc-
Cured In May, 1914, just before the
war. Mr.. WhiNock, with other dipio-
mats, was the dinner guest Of Mr.. yon
Buelow, the German minister to Bel
gium.
"We were standing by table in the
corner of the room. and from among
the objets dart, the various trinkets.
the signed photographs in silver
frames, with which it was loaded, ne
drew forward a silver bowl that ne
used as cendrier. AS / dropped the
ash of my cigar into it, 1 noticed that
it was pierced on one side near the rim
by a perfectly round hole, the 1aggeo
edges of which were thrust inward
plainly a bullet hole; doubtless it nao
a history. I asked him.
ayes, a bullet hole he said. IN
China it stood on my desk, and one
day during the riots a bullet came
through the window and went rignt
through it,
Several of the guests pressed up 70
see: such a bowl with its Jagged bullet
hole and a history was an exceiieht
subject for conversation: the GefIpah
minister had to recount the clrcuth-
stances several times.

4JUDGMENT ADDLED.'

eve Judge" The Newberry Herald
and News of Newberry says, from an
editorial in the Columbia State that It
classes Mr.. Cunningham of Chester as
disloval because he says he voted for
Blease.'
1t is a case of added judgment
The State said nothing of the kind
The State.
We reckon added" is good word.
We do not know We had heard so
much about loyalty and the support
of President Wilson chat we had con-
cluded that the measure of loyalty
was support of the president and we
mixed Support of the president UP
with LOYALTY. What the State said
about Mr.. Cunningham Is something
like this, to use the States own
language: with a senate inimlcal
10 him the president would be well
nigh helpless; hence IL seemeu ~
the State that an injury to the can
didacy of Mr.. Dial and assistance TO
the candidacy opposed by the presl-
dent was equivalent to opposition TO
the president himself" Our error
was in concluding that opposition TO
the president was construed in the
ergnnents that we had read as dis
LOYALTY. Whether that was an "ad-
died judgment in the fare of all
that has been spoken and printed dur
ing the past three months on support
of the president and loyalty, we ans
wer in the language of the State,
"the nubhc can form its own judg-
ment."

on a front of 20 miles from the Bap-
aume-Cambrai high road at HaVr1n-

line they progressed two and half
miles In the center they made near

This means that thyRritish tonight

west of st. Quentin, the great central
bulwark in the main Hindenburg de-

hold if they would prevent a retreat
to the Belgian frontier. At Roisea
the British are only eight miles
southwest Of Le catret.
st. Simon, the important town on
the crosat Canal, eight miles south
west of st. Quentin, is unofflcially, re-,
ported late today to have fallen to
the French.
La Fere, one of the key points in
the main Hindenburg defense line, is
threatened from three sides and is
expected to fail any moment Due
west of the town the French are less
