BIRTH REGISTRATION
q U. S. Department Of Labcr IN
Chjldrens Bureau
WASHINGTON.

Washington, D. C-Where do YOU
keep your chidren's birth certif.
Gates? Or don't YOU live in one of
those up-tO-date communities where
a certified notice is sent to the parents
OF every registered baby? The Chill
dren's Bureau Of the [. S, Department
OF Labor which is conducting a
special campaign for complete regi-
stration OF births, urges the impor-
tance Of securing such a notice from
the registrar and of treasuring it for
the child's use in later life
A number Of things come to one in
the normal processes Of life for which
there is today legal minimum age.
Proof Of age may be needed in school.
for working papers. for voting. for
marrying, for life insurance or for
securing clNil.seryice position Or
again, one may need to establish citi-
zenship or the right of inheritance. In
any one Of a dozen ways a birth Ger,
tilicate may be saving Of trouble and
expense; ii may even save the life Of a
neutral citizen in time of war.
Only when parents we received a
notice Of registration can they be alb
solutely certain, without making
special inquiry, that their chIld's
birth has been registered for even in
the birth registration area the II
States and the District of Columbia
which the Census Bureau accepts as
having fairly adequate records-there
are SOME unregistered babies.
Moreover, such a notice or registra.
ton is an excellent device for making
birth records more complete. Mrs.

birth has been registered and shows
it TO Mrs. t who straightway won.

THE MODERN PARENT

Washington, D. c. Aug. 29.-
 Official reports to the War and State departments today emphasiz- cd that the border trouble at Noga- les, Ariz., will soon end if 1t has not already ceased.
 Reports from Major General Hol- brook, in command on the border, said quiet had been restored.
 State department dispatches told of satisfactory results from the confer ence between Brigadier-Gen Ca bell and Governor Gales.
 At the Mexican embassy here it Was stated that Governor Gales could be counted on to stamp out the activities of the German propa- gandists in Sonora.
 Such information as the State de- pertinent received on the forcible en- try of armed Mexican into the Am erican consulate at Nogales, Sono- ra, and the wounding of American vice-consul Tooley, indicated that the incident was the act of irresponsible persons and not the Mexican mili- tary.
 The violation of the consulate Is now under investigation. but there is every disposition on the part of the officials here to treat the Mo- gales affair as a purely local incl dent which should not be elevated to an international issue

PORTO: RICO MEN TAKE FIRST DIP
 IN THE OCEAN

Washington, Aug. 29.- Three thousande native soldiers of Porto Rico have had their first taste of salt water at the beach near Camp Las Casas, the National Army, Can tonment at San Juan !
 When the general. order to the ef- feet that every man in the camp must learn to swim was issued by Colonel Townsherd, company and platoon com- manders immediately began planning to teach the men the aquatic art. The instruction was begun with five com- panies of student officers, two pro- visional companies of selected men and company of the sanitary corps. As new recruits were added to the camp, they were taught the rudiments of swimming immediately The first part of the instructions is conducted on terra firma, the units lining up on the beach where they practice the various strokes: When they are taken into the water for actual instruction. ', Recently an entire battalion was taken to the beach and taught swim ming. The results from this experi- ment were so successful that now the troops are gwen swimming lessons in regiments.
 According to the report to the Training Camp Commission by J. B. Maccabe, Athletic director, at the camp, the officers felt little appre- hension as to the safety of the men when they were taken to the water for the first time, but their fears were soon dispelled, for the soldiers took to swimming like ducks. They not only made rapid progress, he says, but they had the time of their lives, and before the fifteen minutes were up, the men were gleefully chasing each other and shouting like so many schoolboys on d holiday. Thus the high recreational as we'll as the military value of swimming was demonstrated. It is this combination the Training Camp Commissions en- deavors to strike in every sport it in- troduces in the training camps.

Germans Intend to Retire to

 THREATENED BY BRIToNs
Difference in Huns Resistance Has Been Noted in Recent
 Fighting.

7, London, Aug. 29.-((By the As- sociated Press.)-The total entente allied captures on the western front since July. Is now approach 10000 prisoners and 2,00O guns. The Brit ish captured more than 21,000 prison CTS between August 21 and 26, while the British total losses in the same period, including all killed, wounded and missing, were only slightly in excess of that figure. A considerable proportion of the British casualties are in the slightly wounded class The total captures by the British since August exceed 47,000 off cers and men, and the acquired guns number nearly 500.
 British military observers say it is now clear that the Germans intend to retire to a shorter line on the west ern front where they can obtain better defensive positions against the con- stantly repeated entente allied blows and so that the enemy can economize his forces which has become an ur- gent neceshity on account of his les sening man power.
 Morale Is Very Weak.
 
 kind of retirement has been proved to be very great on the German people and armies and the enemy's present intention is undoubtedly to make a stand on some line we'll west of the Hindenburg line. if possible. The Germans are watching very favorable line along the Ailette, Disc, Somme and Tortille, but it remains to to-: be seen whether they will be per- mitted to make stand there, or even carry out retirement according to plan" to this line without it being broken somewhere else by thh eager allied forces. .f
 The most important obstacle to the German scheme at present is the re- cent British advance on both sides of the Scarpe, which is a serious flank ing tsreat to the whole Hindenburg position. The British ore already in contact wit the famous Drocourt- Queant "switch" running from Queant to Lille.
 It is clear that the Germans can- not permit the British to advance further in this quarter without en- l dangering their whole plan for grad uoA 1VIAA 1AASAI IOtAS ooulA.
 Resistance Is Varied. The resistance which the enemy has been making on the west front has varied greatly on different parts of the hundred mile sector on which the battle is raging. Some German divisions have been fighting with old. time dtermination, while others have been surrendering very freely. While it is necessary to guard against exaggerated expectations of a Ger man collapse. it is nevertheless true that the fighting of the last month has given definite evidence of not 1 able deterioration in German morale There also is proof of increasing insubordination and disobedience to orders which Is very significant in an army bearing :.the reputation. of the German machine. Captured orders tell fthe refusal of new drafts to enter the. trenches. Others censure off. l cerg for laxity in dealing with of- lenders.
