'In my journeys through the land
l have spoken with many a widow,

as possible has been done. Much
could have been done otherwise and
IL is no wonder there is dissatisfac-

But to whom, after all. do we
owe this? Who spoke at the very
beginning Of the war OF starving
out the hated German women and
children? Who was it who intro
duced terrible hatred into this war?
Il was the enemy.
"Left No Stone Cnturned.7
Every one of you in the re-
hottest corner of the fatherland

shorten the war as far as possible

enemy public with clear and IN
ambiguous offer of peace in the

my allies. Jeers, mockery and
contempt were the answer.

u S. TO SAVE THE LIVES OF 100, 600 BAL
'ChiIdren's Year to
Begin Liberty Day

I operation communities will orga-
nize new work for child welfare
where now there Is none; and
strengthen the work of child well
fare agencies already established.
Thus each state will be enabled
to win its quota of children's
lives. This child-saving task has
been divided among the As states,
and each state can know for the
asking how many lives are allot-
ted to 1t.
To see how nearly the coming
generation approaches q normal
standard of development the first
so days of Children's Year will
be devoted to a test of the physi-
cal well-being of children. BY
comparison of the weight and
height of his child with the
standard weights and measure
ments for children OF different
ages given on the cards furnished
by the Children's Bureau every
parent can have measure of his
chiids Development
This index of what is needed
will show communities how to
provide every child opportunity
for normal development; thru
children's conferences, where we'll
children can be examined and
weighed periodically, thru clinics
where sick children can be given
medical advice,
Care For Mothers
Every mother must be insured
prenatal care, the care OF doctor
and nurse at confinement, and
after care. The community will
realize that it must see that every
child has an abundance of clean,
pure milk. Much can be accom-
piished thru the organization of
state and city divisions of child
hygiene.
All these measures will aid in
freeing the coming generation
from the defects which have caus-
ed the rejection of nearly a third
of the men given medical exami-
nation for the draft. But perhaps
none is as important as the estab-
lishment of public health nursing.
The Piunket Nurses of New
Zealand have made striking
demonstration of their effective
ness in reducing the infant death
rate. In New Zealand one baby
in 20 dies; in the United States
one baby in 10. But New Zealand
is not content with a baby death
rate half of ours. And If New
Zealand is confident that she can
save more than 10 out of every
20 babies born, is it not possible
for us in the United tates to save
