Fate of Germanic
Museum in Doubt
issue Raised as to Propriety
Of Using 1t to House
War Trophies
Especial Dispatch 10 The Tribune

BOSTON, June 23.-Harvard men are
expressing conflicting opinions on the
question Of continuing the use of the
S2,OOO,O00 Germanic Museum at Har-
ward for the purpose for hich it was
intended-the diffusion Of German
culture--or for a place to house q
collection Of Harvard war trophies. The
museum was built with money given
to the university by the late Adolphus
Busch, of ST. Louis.
One Harvard man, a member of the
317th Field Artillery, at Camp Devens,
wrote letter to Harvard publication
in which he said: Nothing can alter
the fact that, Adolphus Busch Hall was
given for single purpose. Why doubt
the spirit of the giver?"
The letter was in answer to an edi-
tcral III "The Harvard illustrated,
suggesting that war trophies be placed
in the hall. DR.. Hugh P. Greeley, for
mer resident of this city, in letter to
"The Harvard Almuni Bulletin" says:
"'rhe Germany of to-day stands for
death, destruction and dishonesty. Let
US dedicate the German Museum to the
Interpretation of the ruling ideals in
Germany to-day. Let it remain a monu-
ment to their self confessed 'Kultur'
He suggests collecting and placing
in the museum "relics Of German Welt
politik to which the intelligent and
creative genius of Germany has been
dedicated during the past generation
and of which the past four years have
given us such rich harvest"

Care for Mothers
Brings Lowest
Baby Death Rate
New York's Ratio of
Losses Is Cut About
One-Twelfth

A "prenatal square deal" for babies
has reduced the infant mortality ratc
to the lowest mark ever reached n the
history of the city, it was stated yes
terday by ]. II. Larson, OF the New
York Milk Committee.
Deaths of 1868 babies in 1917 are
recorded, in comparison with 10000
for a smaller population in 1907. Of
the five boroughs, Manhattan shows
the largest decrease since 1916. The
rate dropped from 1922 out of a
thousand to Cd. The Bronx, with an
increase of per cent, is the only bor-
ough which did not improve.
"The general betterment of condi-
tions is proof that medical and nurs-
ing care for expectant mothers gives
the children square deal from the
start" said Mr.. Larson. "Educational
bumper crop of babies last year, in
spite of the war and its attending
hard times.
because the nation faces loss of
thousands of men in battle, the ma
tion must make special efforts to pre-
serve its population by keeping the
babies healthy The government is
making a national drive this year to
save 100000 babies, and mortality
rates should show a further decrease
in 1918.
"New York was not alone last year
in showing results from the modern
methods of dealing with children. The
entire country boasts falling off in
needless losses. The life rate in cities
above $4,000 was 975 per cent. In
this group there we're 723,144 births
Only 70,481 of these died under year
With these cities as basis, it is esti-
mated that the living births totalled
2,678,00O during the year. The deaths
of all ages were 1,648,00O, leaving q
population increase of more than H.
100000.
"The honor mortality rate among
cities of 100000 or more prevailed in
Omaha, where the mark was 5s2
deaths in 1000. Seattle, Wash, was
second, with 594"

one thousand tons a day,
"Unless the situation improves by
July is. the hot water supply in A.
900 apartment houses will have to be
reduced to few hours day on Satur-
days, Sundays and Mondays.
Exclusive of the coal for public util-
tiles, we must have 1.344,000 tons to
supply the 100000 persons who live
north of the Harlem River during the
winter. Although more than 500
apartment houses were without coal
for several weeks in January and Feb
ruary of last winter. when 865,000 tons
were burned in The Bronx, the an
thracite committee has allotted only
$4,000 tons for the winter Of 191s-19"

Berlin May Depose
New Lithuanian KING

LONDON, July ga dispatch to the
Exchange Telegraph from Copenhagen
says the selection of Duke William of
Urach as sovereign of Lithuania under
the title of King Medove has aroused
strong criticism in Germany.
The "Norddeutsche Allecemeine Zeit-
ung, according to the dispatch, says
that the selection was made by the
State Council without asking the per-
mission of Germany and points out
that the independence of Lithuania was
accepted by Germany only on condition
that the creation of monarchy should
be effected according to the wishes of
Germany.
The newspaper, which is the official
government organ, adds that Germany
will not allow Lithuania to come to
any decision on the crown indepen-
IDENTIFY of Germany.
A dispatch from Amsterdam March
% said the ducal crown of Lithuania
had been offered to Duke William of
Urach, and that he probably would
accept it. The dispatch was credited
10 the "Frankfurter Zeitung."
Duke William, the second of his
line. which is branch Of the House
of the Counts Of Written berg, is the
head OF the nonreligiuos family of
Urach. He is fifty-four Years old and
a lieutenant in the Wurttemberg army.
He married the Duchess Amelia of
Bavaria, who died in 1912. He has
twelve children.
