Mr.. Root was chosen by the presi'

Russia and 1t Is known that he STANDS
higher than almost any other Repuo'

That the demand for coalition ao-

by the increasing appeals for the re-

Exoected House to Go.

It has been presumed up to date
that Col. L. w. House, the head of the
recent American war mission to Lon.
don and Paris, would be sent back to
Europe by the president at an early
date. The fact that MT. Lansing was
not sent to represent the United
States at the interalied conference
caused much comment at the time. In
asnuch as the allies were represented
by their prime ministers.
The report that Mr.. Lansing is to be
sent abroad had gained wide currency
among senators and representatives
and occasioned much speculation not
only ON the significance OF the move
but on the selection of q new secre-
tary Of state.

The angel of death was buster than
the stork in Richmond during the year
just ended. according to the records
of DR.. S. G. Smelser, secretary Of the
city board Of health.
There were 1863 births during the
year as against 1856 deaths, his records
show The number Of births during
the year was slightly lower than the
number during 1916.
The theory that more boys are born
in war times than girls Is false so far
as Richmond is concerned. The rec.
ords show that the stork was partial
to girls and 2o7 came to Richmond
families during the year. There were
1856 boys born.

WASHINGTON, Jan. with ad-
ninistration officials viewing the
Lloyd George speech as a renewed
pledge by the allies to fight on until
the German military autocracy Is
crushed, President Wilson is now ex-
pected to shake up the American war
organization and make it possible Tor
the United States to give effective AID
on the western front this year.
II was reported tonight that one OF
the first steps taken by the executive
will be to send Secretary of State Lam
sing to Europe as permanent hlgh
war commissioner. Mr.. Lansing pro-
fesses ignorance of the plan, but other
government officials think the move
not unlikaly.
