OF heavy manual workers the comparative

IN the case of professional people"
Two other Cologne physicians. DR.
krautwig and DR.. Lohmer, submitted to
the local medical association report on
the increase of mortality among the in
habitants during the war. The report
states that the absence of considerable
proportion of the male population, due
to military service, made it impossible to
obtain reliable basis for comparison
regarding the male death rate, and onlv
women and female children were in
cluded.
According to this report, mortality
among women amounted, in 1914. to
1887 per thousand, in 1915, to 1898 per
thousand, in 1917, to 1903 per thou
sand. This figure, the report says, in
creased considerably during last year.
Most potent among the causes of the
extending death rate, the report con-
tinues, was the appalling increase of tu-
berculosis. During the last twenty five
years the tuberculosis death rate was re-
duced by so per cent in the Empire;
from % per 10000 to ID per 10000.
With the war this steadily decreasing
rate began to rise rapidly. While in
1914 there were in Cologne 500 deaths
resulting from tuberculosis in 1918, UP
to October, there were over 800 deaths.
The report ascribes this increase exclu-
sively to undernourishment, and adds:
"Owing to the high infectiousness Of
tuberculosis the disease will probably show
an ascending curve for many years to
come, even if the fight to subduc it will
be resumed in the near future and on the
old footing, which seems extremely unlikely
under our present economic conditions"
The report says that, while according
to best medical authority the daily mini
mum Of nourishment needed by normal
healthy person should yield $500 cal
cries, at present the population of Co.
logne gets 1,450 calories head at the
best. While the minimum of protein
needed by normal person is estimated
at 118 grams day, in Cologne only an
average of 81 grams is available. The
milk supply of the city shrunk from
100000 liters day in 1913 to $4,000
liters day in 1918, and the quality has
deterorated considerably

entertained that the country has started

"The Los Angeles Times frankly ac-
knowledges "The Mexican Puzzle" and
tells of the National Alliance" which
was organized in Los Angeles recently
'by men who were at one time prominent
In the Mexican republic. The purpose of
the alliance is to unite factions and inter
ests opposed to the Carranza administra-
tion and to work as effectively as possible
throughout the United States for setting up
strong, constructive government in Mex
leo with men of ability and integrity at the
helm. Members of the alliance say the Car
rama administration is an utter failure and
must be replaced by an ADLER one if Mex
leo is to be rehablitated."
This paper also quotes the letter of
former Mexican officer" to General
Leonard Wood in which the officer saws:
"How can a strong and honest govern
ment be established? Unquestionably by
assembling a group of honest honor
able, capable and patriotic men ready and
willing to disinterestedly serve their coun-
try in its hour of need These men must
supersede the present administration rep.
resentatves in Mexico and the various
states comprising the republic"
Both Mr.. MilIward and Wall Street
look to oil to smooth the troubled waters
of Mexican affairs. Mr.. Milward says:
"As far as l am able to see at the pres
ent time oil is rapidly becoming one of the
most important factors in the Mexican sit
uation and it will doubtless become a vital
factor in any plans which may be made
now or hereafter to adopt policy other
than watchful waiting. With a
stable government in Mexico guaranteeing
the owners in their rights and thereby jus
tifying further expenditures for develop
mcnts the oil fields can readily supply the
necessary fuel for the greatest fleet the
world has ever seen. ... 1t appears
highly probable, then, that the Mexican
question before very long will become in
volved with the American shipping ques-
ton"
Wall Street understands that large
block of stock of the Mexican Eagle Oil
Company has been sold to the Royal
Dutch Company, in which the British
government is heavily interested. The
British government thus acquires pro-
prietary interest in the Mexican oil fields
and is expected to see to it that peace
and justice reign in that part of Mexico,
at any rate.
