dispatch since landing on the MUIR

The message, sent to General Per-

about two weeks after the mutinous

It is assumed here that a satisfac-

proper discipline prevails among the
American troops generally.

allies. AS result of this action for

TO SAVE FRENCH BABIES.
American Red Cross Carries Cam
paign Overseas.
Correspondence of the A. +.


TCorrespondence of the A. P.l
Paris, March 19-"Save the babies"
is the message that has been taken
thirteen departments of France by the
Children's Bureau of the American
Red Cross.
France is considered second to none
In scientific knowledge of infant well
fare; but hitherto that knowledge has
been LARGELY confined to her medical
| schools, her hospitals, and to the
minds of her child specialists. 1t
needed to he taken right into the
homes. if France was TO save her
| coming generation.
To combat ignorance OF the prln-
ciples of child hygiene on the part of
French mothers to popularize fresh air
and clean teeth, to preach the truth
that tuberculosis is preventable; to
encourage breast feeding and sensible
clothing for infants was the task
which the American Red Cross, seven
teen months ago, set itself to perform.
The result is, as the Bureau statis-
tics show, that 900 French children
have directly benefited by the efforts
of this section OF the American Red
Cross.
1t organized four great eXpositions
in four of the busiest cities of France:
| Lyons. Marseilles. st. Etienne and
Toulouse. Three hundred thousand
| persons went thru the turnstiles OF
these shows, and they took home every
piece of the child welfare literature
that they could obtain.
Travelling expositions next went into
thirteen French departments. They
\ gave simple IctfSses and denonstra-
tions with a life-size baby COLI in the
town hall or the market place, and
| with the aid of their own cinema and u
supply of picture cards and colored
| posters, told the mothers how the
health and welfare OF their offspring
! might be promoted. Nearly two mil
| lion pieces Of child welfare propaganda
| were thus distributed, with the graft
! flying result that in many instances
mothers returned to the show to tell
| that they had benefited by this or that
| piece of advice given by lies Ameri-
cans"
Finally. the bureau has trained
young Frenchwomen as social visitors
and sent forty eight Of them out
among their own people. In Lyons,
Marseilles. Corbel. Blois, st. Etenne
and Paris they are doing intelligent
and constructive social work beginning
at the home itself where they are en-
deavoring to instill modern methods or
child hygiene and the prevention OF
| disease.
| Another feature Of the activities OF
the .Chidren's Bureau has been the
establishment of children's play
grounds. The start has been made at
Rouen; where two Fairgrounds have
been inaugurated for the use of child
rem between the ages OF Y and l3. The
workers are Miss Jean G. Hennessey,
fwho has had seven years experience
as n playground teacher in New York
CITY and Miss Beulah kcnnard.
member of the faculty of New YORK
University. and for twenty years pres
ident and superintendent of the Pitts

Socialists Opposed to University.

The Socialist party In the legisla
ture is opposed to the university. For
the first time since their delegation
has been formidable in the legislature
the Socialists have turned against the
University of Wisconsin. Senator l.
A. Arnold, the senate leader of the SO
cialists, served notice to this effec
last week when he attacked the gen
eral appropriation bill carrying $5,962,
961 for the biennial period. He de
clared that reactionary influences hat
appeared in the university in recent
years and that they had been especial
ly pronounced during the period Of the
war. The four Socialist votes were
registered against the appropriation.

Recesses for Eleven Days.

The assembly and senate voted to
recess for IL days, following last
Fridays session, to allow members to
be at home during election week. The
houses will reconvene April s.
The action was taken because OF
the fact that only two days of work
could be wedged in.
The assembly had considerable fun
at the expense of the senate over the
adjournment resolution. The senate
resolution, introduced by @. B. Bird,
was the same, word for word, as that
introduced in the assembly by J. w.
Conner, which passed unanimously in
the assembly, only to be killed in the
senate.
The assembly, on request of Conner
to "accede to the wishes Of the politf
cal football players" concurred in the
resolution viva voce after f. n. GRASS
explained he had lobbied in the "house
of lords" and, by telling the senators
that individual bills were being elosely
watched in the assembly, and by
''using other diverse and common-sense
arguments" prevailed upon the senate
to "see the error Of it's ways"

STREETS WITH ODD PAVING
Few Civilized Towns Would Care to
Duplicate Thoroughfare Known
to Exist in Africa.

Paris, we are told, is to be paved
with glass, and this has been referred
to as if it were quite unknown. How
ever, this is not so, for Lyons already
has the Rue de Ia Republic, with it's
glass pavements laid in blocks eight
inches square, so closely fitted that
water cannot pass through them.
But streets Of glass are not by any
means the most curious streets in the
world. There is a street in Gwandu,
Africa, which is a veritable place of
skulls. The town, oval in shape, has
round it a ring of poles, every one of
which is crowned with human skull.
There are six gates to the town, and
every one Of them is approached by
a pavement Of skulls, Of which some
thing like $4,000 were used. The pave
ment is snowy white.
Philadelphia has street made with
compressed grass, and the experiment
promised so well after a year that
there may soon be many companion
streets of grass.

Fight for Employment Bureaus.

The fight for an appropriation from
the state which will make 1t possible
to continue free employment bureaus
state, which because of a lack Of fed
eral funds must soon lapse, was pre-
sented to the joint finance committee
of the legislature. Chairman George
2. Hambrecht of the industrial COM
mittee spoke in favor of the measure.
Arguments were also made by repre-
sentatives of labor organizations and
Mayor Daniel w. HOan of Milwaukee.
For the past two weeks Chairman
Hambrecht has been compiling infor-
nation for presentation to the legis-
lature showing the necessity for this
appropriation. The matter was
brought formally before the Wisconsin
assembly by the industrial commits
sion. The legislature took cognizance
Of the situation when by vote Of on
to II, it defeated a motion by Assem-
blyman T. S. Nolan, GAINESVILLE, to ia
BILE the entire proposition, instead of
referring the matter to the finance
committee. Speaking before the COM
mittee Hambrecht urged the necessity
of an appropriation of at least $780,
600 for this purpose. 1t was pointed
cut that there were several thousand
men in Wisconsin out of work today.
That the situation needs attention
was the statement Of Mayor Daniel w.
Hoan of Milwaukee, who says that one
Of the best steps the legislature could
take at this time to halt the growing
spirit of unrest would be to assist in
finding employment for the returning
soldiers and sailors and others thrown
out of work due to the conditions Of
reimbursement.
