". s. S.- THE BlRTHRATE LOWERS

If conditions in the United States follow those in the dsher warning countries, the birthrate is to bel lowered considerably.
 The cost of carrying on the war. paid as it is by the people result i'm the economy of living we see all about us; and as children are expensive, it is natural there will be fewer at such a time.
 This isn't idealistic--it is merely a reflection of facts.
 In spite of the many marriages of soldiers just before going into camp, it has been shown abroad that wal decreases the marriage rate at home It has been shown repeatedly by scientists that the marriage rate fluc- tuates with the cost of living; gener- al prosperity and low prices of sub- sistencc result in increased marriages; high prices of necessities reult in a restriction of the marriage ceremoney. It is something not indulged in except by folk who can afford it. The German birthrate has decreased 40 per cent, which is more than in any other warning country.
 All this means that we must take additional care of the babes we have. It is why the national government, through the children's bureau, has call ed upon our nation to "save the ba- bies."
 For us, the place to start this is right here in Pine Bluff. Every mather in town, or in the country, should make an especial effort to be- come acquainted with the scientific and sanitary rules governing the rais- ing of children. And the worst pos sible way is to think we know it all The chances are we don't. Look at our death rate for infants and decide to eliminate the passing away of so much innocent life-life given to us to cherish and keep, but which goes where it came from because of ignor- ance in a great many cases

erhood in Denver has its service flag
and not a day passes without some
member leaving the city to join the
colors. Thruout the country thou
sands of men who man trains have
gone to war, while thousands of others
are chafing because they have not
been able to get away to join the rail-
road battalion now being formed.
The members of the Ladies Auxil-
iaries of the four orders will assist
the general arrangements committee.
The sale of tickets will not be con-
fined to Denver, as it is the intention
to ask the members of every lodge in
the state to buy tickets. The dance
is to be the most pretentious affair
of the kind ever undertaken by the
railroad men of the state.

influence of President Wilson is seen.
British labor holds the American Pres
ident in the highest esteem and his
name is cheered at every mention.
He is looked to by organized workers
here as the greatest statesman in
the world of democracy. No influence
has contributed more than his to de-
veloping the unity of the workers of
the allied nations, and it is to him
that credit is given by workers here
for having interpreted for all the real
significance of the meaning of the CO.
lossal conflict between democracy and
autocracy.
The American trade union delega-
ton has been accorded an unusual re-
ception and an unusual opportunity to
see and learn in every direction.
Seldom has greater attention been
given to foreign delegation; seldom
has a more strenuous program of ac-
tivity been laid out for one. The dele
CATION has been permitted to see and
inquire into things not disclosed to
any other civilians, and its knowledge
is expected to be of great value to
America.
Message of the Americans.
In addition to an intensified pro-
gram of public speaking the delega-
ton will visit and inspect the British
cruiser and destroyer feet and the al
lied fighting fronts in France. The
tour of France will include the sector
held by the American forces.
The message of the Americans,
America is in with her full strength
to the finish" has been received on
every hand with rejoicing by a land
sorely tried but holding fast with
tenacity that is marvellous and unde-
featable

HEAD OF BRITISH
 NAVY ARRIVES ON
 AN OFFICIAL VISIT
Sir Erie Geddes and Admiralty Board Are Received in U. S.. Capital - Pays Tribute to Americans.

Washington, Oct. 7.-An admiralty board headed by Sir Eric Geddes, first lord of the British admiralty, arrived in Washington today as the guests of the navy department. The party came in response to an invitation eX- tended by Secretary Daniels and in part to return the visit to England of Assistant Secretary Roosevelt, of the navy department.
 For the last Is months we on our side have had the opportunity of see ing your navy at work and l am voic- ing the opinion not only of the royal navy and the British nation, but of the whole of the allies when l say that your sailors, no less than your gallant troops, have won our deepest admiration" Sir Erie said to the newspaper correspondents tonight.
 "Seamanship, technical skill, en- durance, ingenuity and goodfellow- ship-all of these We knew we could expect from the United States navy, and it is these very qualities in a degree far exceeding our anticipation which have endeared your officers and men to us all and have brought about that complete unity of spirit and purpose between the two great navies to which the present visit of the board of admiralty bears testi- mony.
 The dauntess determination which the United States has displayed in creating a huge trained body of sea men out of landsmen is one of the most striking accomplishments of the war. Had it not been effectively done one would have thought it impossi- ble."

PRESIDENT TAKES MATTER UP WITH
 ALLIED LEADERS
Will Send a Carefully COnsid- cred Reply to Overtures from the Central P0wers-NO Ar miStice is Possible.

Washington, Oct. 7.-President Wilson is comforting with the prem CTS of the entente natons over the form of answer to be made to Ger many's latest peace proposals. The indications are that it will not be dispatched for day or two
 While there may be some question as to the form of the reply, there is no question as to it's nature. It may not use the short and forceful term unconditional surrender" which would reflect the sentiment which has come from the spokesmen of the na- tion, but it is sure to convey to the German government that nothing less than the terms already laid down can be accepted and that those terms can not be made merely the basis for negotiations. As to the armistice. such step would be looked upon as suicidal and not to be thought of
 By this time Prince Maximilian's note and that of Baron Burian, the Austro- Hungarian foreign minister, in official form, undoubtedly the in the foreign offices in London, Paris and Rome, forwarded by President Wilson, as requested by the central powers. The exchanges now going on have a twofold purpose.
 The American government would not proceed to speak for the other belligerents on a matter of such i'm portance without consultation and it is purposed to avoid the mistake of making curt and peremptory rejec- tion which could be used by the cen tral powers, before their own people. to bolster up the argument they are waging a defensive" war and the objects of the co-belligerents are to destroy" them.
