 One of the men there knew Blnko- wtz, the police say. He knew tna' Binkowitz was only boy that he had a penchant for good times ana thlngs to drink, and for women, and ne tolo the others he believed the boy was ID the ha bit of carrying large sums TOT his employers, and that he believed the boy could be reached and induced to run away with valuable securities. That part of the conspiracy was settled and then one of the men proposed that after BmkoWitz got the bonds ana had joined them they show the boy d good time for one night-or what was his idea of a good timc--and then kill him.
 The police say that this scheme met with general approval, because It would make one less in the division of the loot. According to the detectives one of the men under arrest being WISE III lllC way cilN IAlS AioeAAAIo oN Little Italy, was appointed to hire the assa ssins, and the detectives also say that several of the men then at the ta- ble and taking part in the planning of the conspiracy, were members of the band that killed the boy, among them Spotte, who collapsed when brought to police headquarters yesterday, charg- cd with complicity in the crime
 Boy Goes to His Death
 There is something of a. hiatus be- tween the time the conspiracy was matched and the Binkowitz boy was induced to steal the bonds and the police do not know just how the slayers were engaged, who engaged them, or how much money was prom ised for the job The price. however could not have been large. At any rate Binkowitz stole the bonds anC is believed to have gone directly tc Bridgeport and met the others. There the idea of 0 good time was hroachec and there was a party at a road house near Myrtle Beach. It was a wild affair with women and plenty tc eat and drink.

 The police records show that Spotte has been convicted of white slavery and was sent to Sing Sing by Judge William H. Wsdhams for two years and a. half on that charge, Harry Ditnaeyer of 513 West 213th street is another of the men under arrest, being detained on a short affidavit charging him with being a fugitive from jus tice. One of the women is the wife of Delmar and was arrested several days ago in her home, 3301 Broadway, charged with having a. revolver in her possession. The gun was found in a collar box and the police say the woman admitted that 1t belonged to her husband.

BABY DEATH RATE.

The baby death rate has been stead
lily declining for years. I think we can
expect a further improvement in this
particular. In April, 1918, the chill
dren's bureau started a campaign to
save the lives Of 1O0.0 600 children a
year. This was to be an offset for the
lives OF 10O.0 o soldiers which it was
calculated would be the war loss. I do
not think the expectation will be real
lied. Whatever hope there was of it
went up in smoke when he influenza
struck US last August. So far as can
be determined now influenza did not
cause q heavy loss OF life among chill
.dren 2 to s years of in the earlier
months OF the epidemic. The disease
during this period Of reappearance Is
said to be falling more heavily ON the
children. 1 am informed that tie death
rate Of children under 4 has been high
since the epidemic began. For all Of
these eason I feel certain that the
reduction Of 10000 In the number OF
Deaths Of children win not b realized.

ITALIAN PRINCE IN
DISGUISE FOUGHT AS
CORPORAL AT FRONT
BY the italian-American News Bureau.

BY the Italian American News Bureau.
The Gazzetta di Torino. telling about
the count of Salient, cousin of the kinx
OF Italy. recalls how he fought in tho
beginning OF the war in Val D'Assa
under the false name of Macmillan
Mombello. Nobody. not even the Off
GERS. knew at first that the vigorous
youngster, so good and mild tempera-
ment, so magnificent in his reckless
courage. was Prince Umberto, count of
Salemi.
The hour OF danger found him calm,
serene. sure Of himself. like a veteran
Alpine. His own comrades already
tried in the most daring feats We're
amazed by his deeds Of valor. When
they praised him Corporal Maximil-
ian Mombello would answer with a
proud smile: "I-but I am a special
corporal" His manner luckily won
him the friendship and favor of all
from the soldiers to the officers.
The count of Selemi found a way
even under fire to start a school for
the illiterate. The pupils attended
willingly. for the instructor. Corporal
Macmillan Mombello. was in truth
special-patient to a fault. happy,
learned. and above all generous in re-
warding the studious at the close of
the lessons. A draught Of wine. a por-
ton Of bread were ready for all in his
trench ration. His greatest joy was
on the arrival Of the mail in the eve
ming. If the enemy permitted, he de-
voted himself to reading and writing
letters.
One day. however. it leaked out
a..ong the officers that Mombello was
the Prince Salemi, of blood royal. 1t
was passed along to the stupefed SOL
diers. WHAT" they asked him. Are
you a royal highness?" YES" the
count answered. what Of it?" The
answer treasured the soldiers.
Although MAMMALIAN Mombello
came to be known again as the count
Of Salient. a prince OF the royal house
Of Savoy. he remained their good cor
poral till he was promoted to be a lieu
tenant and later a captain Of bombar-
diers.
He died Of pneumonia at the
front among his devoted soldiers just
before the end Of hostilities. He had
just been promoted and commanded
a bombarding battery Of the army of
the Grappa.

VIVA. Hoover Is Doinq.
Recapitulated, our Director General
Hoover assume the role of a trade in
protection of h congressional guaran-
ties on the one side and the
sional appropriation on the other side.
He aims always to deal with the re-
spons!ble persons of governments and
municipalities. His agents will adj
minister and inspect distribution.
Right now 10000 tcns of food either
mas arrived or is en- route to Mediter-
ranean ports in army cargo boats. One
undred and s%eventy-nve thousand
tons monthly is going to Belgium and
northern France. Italy and Great Brit
ain alone have put $4,000 IONS of food
stuifs into Vienna. despite the knowl-
edge that the Austrian gold reserve
had shrunken to five-eighths Of / per
cent Of h national indebtedness and
only to $50, 900, 900.
The plan is to build a foundation all
over Europe. including Russia. for an
early return to normal conditions. Re-
lief for Russia, assuming the conflict
ing unite under President Wilson's
plans. can be speedily handled by
trans-sh:pments from bases at Rotter-

Germany Able to Pay.
The Firms are now getting food via
Rotterdam. Poland will be served
through Dantzig. Letting Germany
have the food she pays for and he
$500 400 900 voted by congress are two
different propositions. Germany, at
last accounts. had a gold reserve Of
1900. 000. 900 marks. and she can af-
ford to pay cash for what she buys.
No charity has been suggested for
Germany. The blockade has been
slightly lifted to her. That is all.
Reports of Hoover's agents sent into
the Balkans show the necessity for
another delivery. Serbia has been
Quilted and is absolutely without banks.
Rumania tried to raise $4,000, 900 from
New York banks and failed. Russia
is rich in but without funds.
Our experts on h ground say that It'd

next harvest will put them on their
feet. BY doing 80. 1 am told. America
becomes the greatest creditor nation Of
the world. with In annual foreign in

jects. The effect of this must carry on.

this: The work in child welfare done
during 1918 and 1919 will eventually

ment in the pneumonia situation in
1919. but l cannot see my way clear
to do so.
A high pneumonia rate always fol-
every reason to anticipate heavy pneu-
monia rates for each OF the next two
or three years. The only hope that
can see is that the bacteriology OF the
disease may be SO developed as to make
a vaccine possible. The army now has
a vaccine in which they have faith.
But it will not be possible for them to
prove Its worth and for the civilian
population to make universal or almost
universal use Of it during 1919. AS
Stunning that 1t will do everything the
army hopes for. will take time to con-
vince the people.
We remember the saying that the
reason fish bite is because those who
are hooked. and thus learn by expert
ence. are removed to other spheres of
