Baby SaDer To Assist

London, England, Aug. 24.-fCorre-
spondence Of the Associated Press)
The man reputed to be the worlds
most successful baby saver has come
to London to save lives for the British
empire and thereby replenish war S
ravages. He is DR.. TRULY King.
founder Of the Royal New Zealand
Society for the Health Of Women
and Children. an organization that
has reduced the infantile death rate
in New Zealand from about So in 1000
to IS. The New Zealand government
has lent him for a year TO the mother
country to teach women here how to
care for their young.
It is not, according TO Dr. King,
the poor and ignorant who fail most
in parental duties He adds;
The burden Of bearing children is,
for the most part, taken up by people
who have the least means and. in n
large proportion OF cases. they set an
example as regards natural nursing
and personal care-in two words,
complete motherhood-which is so
often shirked by those of ample means
and leisure. Civilized nations are re-
cruiting their populations from par
ents who, relatively speaking, have
failed in the battle Of life from one
cause or another. and not from those
who have succeeded"

ing TO a letter to Mrs. Mary Mcneil,

Of battery \, New Mexico field ar

The letter says. in part:
I haven't written to you in quite
a while, as we have been at the front
for some time. We sure have the
Germans on the run and It is about
all we can do to keep up with them
We are always some distance behind
the lines with these big guns and the
other day a German airplane came
over and burned up our balloon and
beat il hack. They keep US jumping
once and a while at nights when they
come over in their bombing machines
We have never been in a bad gas
attack yet. as the Germans haven't
used very much OF it on our front.
We captured a town the other day
and the bodies Of dead Germans were
lying everywhere, but so far we have
been very lucky as we have never
lost a man"
