NIPPLES FUR TEUTON BABIES
CAUSE OF RUMPUS in ENGLAND

LONDON, March 1. - The action
of the women's international league
in sending 100000 rubber nipples
to Germany to save German babies
and its efforts to get money to
send another 5000 has been the
subject of considerable controversy
in England. The organization is
the British section of the interna-
tional committee of women for
permanent peace.
Shipment of the nipples was sug-
gested by a correspondent in Ger
many. He quoted the head Of a
children's hospital to the effect
that, if something was not done to
help German babies, by 1893 there
would be no German soldiers fit to
fight. Commenting on this state
ment the Evening Standard says:
There r crowds of people in
this country who, while loving
children, want to know if the first
and most imperative duty of Great
Britain is to raise a German army
for 1888. There are many in the
areas upon which German chill
dren's fathers dropped bombs kill
ing English children, and still
many more in France and Belgium,
whose childhood came face to face
with these German children's faith
ers who would tell where the char

liable thought of Great Britain as
regards children might first be TO
cused."
After listening to an appeal for
funds to purchase the nipples,
George Egerton (Mrs. Golding
Bright, the author, gave out a
statement in which she said that
the "child is the one thing that
counts, yet 1 frankly say the appeal
left me cold"
1.-THE boys whose bandages were
torn off," she continued, " who had
cups of water dashed from their
lips by German women, we're all
some British mothers baby once;
these wonderful boys, in the
thoughts of broken-hearted moth
ers, are always just her baby. 1
had too much faith in the common
sense of my sex to believe they
would supply Fritz with a million
pieces of rubber, but I find my
faith was not justified"
The secretary of the league has
stated that the leagues work at
home need not be curtailed in any
way to help the German babies.
"We ourselves feel 1t may mean
a great deal more than merely CIV
ing nipples to starving babies" she
said. 'It may create a better feel
ing, which, after all, is the only
guarantee of peace afterwards"

COOPERATION OF
PORTUGAL PROVED
VALUABLE IN WAR

LISBON, Portugal, March l.. -
1.-THE possession of the Azores ISL
ands as a naval base has been a
distinct factor in the allies VIC
tory" says Rear Admiral Herbert
Omar Dunn, U. S. NJ, commander
of that base, who recently arrived
in Lisbon, where the American
naval men were the heroes of the
hour.
Rear Admiral Dunn was received
by the new president Of the Portu-
guese republic, Admiral Canto e
Castro, and a banquet in his hon
or was given at the American lega-
ton, which was attended by rep
resentatives Of all the Allied pow
ers.
In an interview with a Seculo
reporter, Rear Admiral Dunn ex-
pressed his warm appreciation of
P~oItugal's cooperation in dealing
with the U-boat pest from that out
post In the Atlantic.
Nothing would please the Azor-
cans better than to be able to pay
homage to President Wilson per-
sonally. When the president en-
barkod for Europe, Rear Admiral
Dunn cabled him a request that
the ship might pass in view OF the
islands. The request was granted.
and afterwards, at a meeting IN
Paris, the president charged Rear
Admiral Dunn to convey to the
Portuguese people his sympathy
and thanks for their friendship and
cooperation with the American
naval services at the Azores.
The influenza scourge has not
spared Portugal's westermost col
ony, and there has also been a
serious shortage of food. Rear
Admiral Dunn not only succeeded
lin obtaining some shipments of
wheat from the United States. but
also distributed to the islanders
all the available medicine from
the American ships, sending the
naval surgeons to visit the sick
and the hospitals and furnishing
gasoline from the Red Cross am
balances. The Stars and Stripes
is the most popular foreign flag
in the Azores islands.

COTTON PLANTERS
ARE PLANNING. TO
REDUCE ACREAGE

DALLAS, Tex, March Fear
ing cotton prices will sink near
pre-war levels unless measures are
taken to prevent it, southern cot
ton growers are joining in a move
ment for general reduction of 1919
aoreage In Texas the move has
taken the form of a pledge to re-
duce acreage to two-thirds of that
of 1918. The state agricultural
department is emphasizing the ben
efits of planting grain on the acre
g thus saved.
The government crop report
placed last years production at p
$50 900 bales. Cotton was around
30 cents a pound at the close OF
the picking season, but many grow
ers and some spectators felt it
would reach 40 cents and did not
sell. Prices fell, however, with
the signing of the armistice and
since then have been wavering be-
tween 81 and 25 cents.
Bankers who loaned money to
growers found their security dimin-
ished and the plantation owners
found their crops of less value
than when harvested. Texas grow
ers estimate there are 100000
bales stored by individuals and In
the congresses. They declare
much of this has been damaged by
winter rains.
While cotton at Fl to 20 cents
is higher than before the war,
rover say production cost Is sc
much higher that they will lose
none at rs cents a pound.
Last years government reports
placed the Texas acreage at H.
2s5,000. BY reducing this one
third bankers and agriculturalists
feel that prices can be held to a
point that will bring a profit and
also bring a higher price, for the
nnmoved crop of 1918.
The council of defense chairman
in each county and the county ag-
ricultural agent have been named
as committees to aid in an extens-
i've advertising campaign to per-
suade all planters to sign the two
thirds acreage pledge.

RESEARCH ASSOCIATION SEC
RETARY DESCRIBES AC-
TIVITY

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. %. -
The greatest activity in As years is
reported from Kileauea, Hawaii,
one of the worlds greatest vol
canoes, in a letter received from
l.. w. de Vis-Norton, secretary of
the Hawaiian Volcano Research as
ISOLATION.
SCI have returned from a prolong-
ed stay at Kileauea volcano" he
wrote. "The lava column is In
dergoing an unprecedented rise
and is overlooking in all directions
from the fire-pit into the main
crater. There are now five lakes
instead Of one. I have walked,
with Professor T. A. Jaeger, Jr.,
the observatory director, over the
whole of the area of the fire pit,
on the surface of the lava column,
and came away with a sort of be-
wildering Kaleidoscope of white
hot caverns, splashing fountains
and seething turmoil, impossible of
connected description. 1t is a
wonderful experience to stand at
the side Of a glowing cone 10 feet
high, and look down through a
kind of window into a roaring in
ferno beneath, while the ground
rocks and heaves under ones feet.
"As the lava will continue to
rise until March 81, We are in for
some very wonderful displays, and
it is As years since we have had
such intense activity at the crater.
Mauna Loa, on Hilo island, is be-
coming restless and four great COL
umns of smoke and incandescent
gas have been rising for some days,
but the absence of earthquakes and
of night-glows from the summit
appear to indicate that an imme-
date eruption is to be feared"

LEAVE j. OF c.
TRACK AND FIELD PROSPECTS
BLUE FOR NEXT
SEASON

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 2S. =
Track and field prospects of the
university of California received a
severe setback with the departure
of Lloyd, star two-miler, and Gill
dersleeve, weight thrower, both of
whom were figured on al sure
first position men in competition.
The loss of 10 points is considered
a handicap which 1t will be diff
cult to make up.
Lloyd was an ensign in the naval
reserve during the war and haG
recently been discharged. On the
strength of his record, however,
he was selected by the shipping
board to take a course at the uni
,versity of Georgia.
The arrival of Charles Miller, a
former Ohio state university ath-
|lete, who is said to have a record
of 40 seconds in the 440-yard
dash, has failed to add any cheer
to the situation for the reason that
he will be unable to compete for
another year, as provided by the
athletic regulations covering the
case of an athlete who transfers
from one college to another.

MEMBER Of Czech COUNCIL
WANTS NO MORE DIC1ATORS

and a government elected by the
will of the majority and support
ed by the armed forces of the coun-
try, there could be no armed oppo-
sition.
81 am confident that a suffi-
GENTLY large army could be assem-
lbled at once which would be loyal
to such a government and afford
it all the force necessary. Within
a few months the allied troops
could be removed. Such aid from
the allies would be welcomed by
the whole Russian nation and
would in a short time bring about
the desired end. Otherwise Rus
STA will be given over to anarchy
which will endanger the country
for many years to come.
admiral Kolchak, head of the
all-Russian government at Omsk,
has made the mistake of announc-
ing himself dictator. The word is
enough to make the average Rus
sian fight. They want no more
dictators. If Kolchak were given
the aid of the allies in establish
ing himself in power, even though
he promises to call a constituent
assembly, such aid would be mis-
construed by the people as the

vLADIvOSTOK, March DIR.
vaclav Girsa, local member of the
Czech national council, has faith in
the ability of the Russians to re-
construct an army, provided q sta
BILE government can be established
in Russia. At the moment, he
admits, everything Is against such
an effort. The soldiers are not
properly fed, nor clothed nor paid.
They are kept in barracks with
nothing to occupy them. They
serve one government today and
perhaps another tomorrow, and that
demoralizes them.
"The first necessity" said DR..
Girsa, "is the suppression of Boil
shevik tyranny and the r~e-establish-
ment of peace throughout Russia.
To accomplish this the allies will
have to send troops to Russia, as
distinct from Siberia. Three di-
visions of troops would be more
than enough to accomplish their
suppression and would absolutely
guarantee a state of peace from
one end Of Russia to the other.

would have a tremendous effect to-
ward p~acifying the country. A

TOBACCO SHORTAGE
IS FELT IN LONDON

LONDON, March 1. London
has been suffering lately from a
scarcity of tobacco, notably of Gig
arettes. This, according to John
Pearson, president of the national
union Of retail tobacconists, is due
Ito the fact that the shipping con-
troll only permitted 10000 tons of
tobacco a month to come into the
country, while more people smok-
ed than formerly. There were no
women smokers, he said.
Mr.. Pearson declared that in a
government department he knew
of, "20 minutes were set aside
every morning for the employees to
smoke their cigarettes" MI. Pear
son found no harm in this because
his tobacconist shop was next door.

the constantly increasing amount
