NEGRO RACE DYING
OFF, FIGURES SHOW

Statistics prepared by the Bureau
Of Census Of the Department OF Com
merce show what long has been held
by the medical profession to be true
that the negro race in the cities is
dying off.
Louisville's figures prove this. The
figures for 1917 show that in Louis
vile there were ALP births, 595
white and $40 negro.
The total excess Of births over
deaths for the year was only four
and nine tenths per cent, because
while the excess Of white births was
25.9 per cent over white deaths, me-
negro births fell below the deaths by
51.3 per cent.
Statistics show the Total births in
Kentucky in 1917 were 81 ,69S being
more than lightweight and~ five
tenths per cent, of the number of
deaths for the year and that there
are eightyseven and one tenth deaths
of infants under one year of age per
thousand living births.
The infant morality in Kentucky
was high because Of the great num-
Der Of deaths of negro babies. While
the States figure in 1917 was ST.
per thousand, the figure for the city
of Louisville was s6.5 per thousand.
This again was attributed to the ne
gro deaths, for while the deaths Of
white babies under one year num-
bered Se.6 per thousand, negro ba-
bies died at the rate of 1857 per
thousand.

Marines OF
CHRISTIAN CO.

Inc Following list OF "a members
of the Marine Corps is one which
speaks for itself. Of the who were
in France, 3 were wounded, two won
the Croix de Guerre and one paid
the supreme sacrifice on the battle
field under circumstances BETTING
the heroic cause for which all were
fighting. Two in San Domingo have
given good account of themselves.
The whole Marine Corps has shown
again that they merit the plaudits of
their famous song. Those from
Christian county were not behind
others in helping add the newest
verse to their Liberty song:
"As we raised our flag in Tripoli,
And Again in Mexico;
So we took Chateau Thierry
And the forest of BeIleau.
When we hurled the Hun back from
the Marine,
He said we fought like fiends;
And the French christened Belleau
Wood
For United States Marines"
Following is the roster from our
