sanization as a short cut to the un-
stlnted use of force preached by

war, it is likely that the machinery at
the department will be further
Strengthened out to eliminate delays
and useless personnel.
The inspector generals branch is
known to have had the aviation and
ordnance branches under watch for
some time hence, 1t is possible that
the shakeup will affect those services
mainly.

SAVE 1902 BABIES
Kansas Will Try to Set Record in Re-
duction of Infant Deaths

In an effort to save the lives of
100,0 900 children in America this year
Kansas is asked to see that 1902 of
the new babies are kept alive that
otherwise would die under tn, adverse
conditions of war time. In ordinary

cent of deaths among children, is con-
sidered an enormous saving. but this
year the goal is placed at so per cent
DR.. Lydia Allen DeVilbiss, head of the
child welfare department of the
woman's committee. Kansas council of
defense, is in charge of the work. She
has asked the special help of the
Parent-Teacher associations. the W.
c. T. L. and the State Sunday School
association.
The plan for this saving of infant
life begins with a campaign for birth
registration. The next step will be to
place literature in the hands of all
mothers of young children and ex-
pectant mothers. After these two
plans are carried out the department
will work for the placing Of public
health nurses to advise with mothers
regarding their children: full time
health officers to look after sanitary
conditions and quarantine, and other
public health measul es advised by the
state board OF health.
, A part of the campaign will be the
measuring and weighing of babies
This part of the campaign will be
carried on principally by the fedora
ton. as heretofore. The Parent
Teacher association will pay particular
attention to the care of school chill
dren with special attention to school
will be reached with letters inquirine
for names on their cradle rolls and
for the names of mothers to whom
educational literature may be sent.

Now. however. there is full accord
between the allies and the Cnltea

Austria Pleases All Italians.

Rome, April S.-The Italian public,
detecting a change in President Will
sons attitude toward Austria and a
more specific sympathy in Italian
claims, applauds his Baltimore speech.

COLONEL IN REPLY
Roosevelt Glad Provisions OF
Bill Are Not as Reported.
Yet Criticism Was Justified for
Senator Who Proposed Law.

New York, April 8, Oyster Bay
Col. Theodore Roosevelt has replied to
United States Senator Overman of
North Carolina, who charged that the
colonel had made a false statement in
declaring the sedition bill Furnishing
disloyal utterances would prohibit crit
icism of the president.
THE clause containing the language
L quoted was in a bill introduced by
Senator Meyers of Montana and con-
sidered by the judiciary committee.
The Associated Press and all the
newspapers 1 happened to see stated
that the judiciary committee had
adopted and reported the bill with this
clause in it. Seeing II thus stated in
all the various papers before me, ac-
eepted the statement as correct. 1 am
exceedingly pleased to find that the
statement was incorrect and that the
judiciary committee did not adopt the
proposed provision.

senate judiciary committee of all
blame, and leaves the blame on the
senator who introduced that law and
all who supported it.
Moreover, these men represent an
attitude of so many men of high Off
