Watchful Waiting
On Border to End

WASHINGTON, Julyl 6.-The
United States is through with its pol.
icy of "watchful waiting" with re-
gard to Mexico, information from the
state department revealed yesterday.
Mexico is to be permitted no longer
to have her own way in taking action
to safeguard the lives and property
of Americans and the property and
well being of other nationals in that
country.
Thus far there has been no threat
of consequences should Mexico not
cease Immediately from her dilatory
and makeshift practices of the past,
but the representations which have
been made to Mexico leave no room
for mlslnterpretatlon or mlsunder-
standing of the determination back
of them, it is said.
1t is to be doubted if the United
States made any definite promise in
the Franco-American agreement, or
in any other understanding reached
between the premiers of England and
France and the president, while he
was abroad, to intervene in Mexico
unless stable conditions there are re-
stored, state department officials de-
clared. 1t is known, however, the
representatives of Great Britain and
France discussed with the American
representatives the desirability of
having order and peace restored in
Mexico.
1t was in consequence of this dis.
cussion that representations agreed
on by the representatives were sent
to Mexico by the state department,

Kaiser Gay,
Not Worried

AMERONGEN, Holland, July 16.
William Hohenzollern, ex-Kaiser,
is not the broken ma nhe has been
pictured, nor is he apparently worry
ing over the prospect of facing trial
for war crimes, according to his ap-
pearance.
The London Daily Express cores
pondent had an extremely close view
of him and the former Empress and
cesretary while they were walking
the grounds of the castle of Count
Bentinck. The one-time Emperor
was laughing gaily, talking animated
ly, and swinging his cane, just as he
did in pre-war days. William was
dressed in brown tweeds, and his fig
are was strikingly erect though
rather stout, There was no sign that
he had been bowed down by the
weight of his woes.

1919 Baby Crop
Make Record

WASHINGTON, July 16.-Amer.
ica's baby crop for 1919 promises to
be the largest in the history of the
country, according to the annuel sur,
vey of the New York milk committee,
just completed.
This prediction is made in the face
of a reduction of nearly 100 per cent
IN the excess of births over deaths
during 1918, as compared with 1917.
This was caused by an unprecedented
number of deaths approximating 9
100000, in part due to the influenza
epidemic and war conditions.
Computations by the committee,
based upon figures obtained from
health officials in 1877 of the largest
American cities reveal these facts:
That deaths in the United States
last year increased $4,000 over 1917.
This total is exclusive of the $4,000
soldiers who gave their lives on for
eign soil.
That 100000 births occurred in
1918, an increase of $4,000 over the
previous year.
That the natural national increase
in population is estimated at 450, 900,
compared with 1,000,O 900 in 1917.
That the general infant mortality
rate, founded upon reports received
from cities comprising 26 per cent of
the population jumped from 97.5 per
thousand births to 104.1.
