Following the administration of
the final dose of this first series of
paregoric, the infant became quiet
and in every way acted and seemed
perfectly normal.
The mother was very anxious to
avoid continuing to give the opiate
to the child, and delayed it's admin
istration as long as possible. The
child would develop the above symp-
toms, however, at intervals of about
eight hours after opiate administra-
ton, the severity varying according
to the length of time the mother
delayed in administering the opiate.
When lactation was fully estab-
lished the necessity for pareg oric
administration ceased. The infant
apparently obtained its narcotic
supply through the mothers milk.
The mother nursed the child at reg
ular intervals. Just before the time
of nursing the child would display
a restlessness unlike that seen in
normal children, which would sub

How the sins of the parents are
visited upon the children is shown
by a case described in American
Medicines by DR.. Christian F. j.
Laase, associate surgeon of st.
Marks Hospital, New York, in
addicted to opiates displayed at
once all the symptoms of addiction.
The case is an interesting one, be-
cause it negatives some current
that It depends on something that
can be physically transmitted from
mother to child.
The mother of the child, according
to DR.. LaaSe, was a woman of
twenty-seven years, who had been
an opium addict for over two years.
The baby, though healthy-appearing
and well nourished, from the mo-
ment of birth, showed symptoms of
increasing restleSsness.
Early Opiate Need
This restlessness," said DR..
Laase, lis probably to be interpreted
as early opiate need, due to the in
by the mother just previously. The
symptoms and signs of drug-need
developed in the infant identically
with those of it's mother, in charac-
ter and in sequence. The restless
ness increased; it began to yawn
and it's color poor 1t drew up it's
leg as if in cramps, and cried out
as if in pain. It's pupils became
widely dilated The chin was in a
constant tremor, reminding the OBJ
server of the chattering of an adult
in a chill. Finally the infant showed
signs of collapse, with general con-
vulsions.
Nothing seemed to alleviate
these symptoms, until finally a drop
of paregoric in water was given,
using a small eye-dropper to put
the paregoric in the mouth. Five
drops of paregoric were given at
intervals of five to ten minutes,
causing a progressive subsistence of
the symptoms and return to nor

Supreme Court Justice Cohalan re-
ceived yesterday from Sean 7. O'Kelly,
the representative of the Irish Repub-

Of independence adopted by the Irish
Republic Parliament, publication of
which has been suppressed in Ireland.
This is the first copy to reach this
country. The text of the declaration
reads:
"Whereas the Irish people is by right
a free people; and whereas for seven
hundred years the Irish people has
never ceased to repudiate and has re-
peatedly protested in arms against for
elgn usurpation;
And whereas English rule in this
country is, and always has been, based
upon force and fraud and maintained
by military occupation against the de-
clared will of the people;
And whereas the Irish Republic was
proclaimed in Dublin on Easter Mon
day, 1916, by the Irish Republican
Army, acting on behalf of the Irish
people;
"And whereas the Irish people is re-
solved to secure and maintain its COM
plete independence in order to promote
the common veal, to re-establish JUS
tlce, to provide for future defense, to
insure peace at home and good will
with all nations and to constitute a
national policy based upon the peo-
pies will, with equal right and equal
opportunity for every citizen,
"And whereas at the threshold of a
new era in history the Irish electorate
has in the general election Of De-
cember, 1918, seized the first occasion
to declare by an overwhelming ma
jorty its firm allegiance to the Irish
Republic;
Now, therefore, we, the elected rep
resentatives of the ancient Irish people
in national parliament assembled, do,
in the name Of the Irish nation, ratify
the establishment of the Irish Republic
and pledge ourselves and our people to
make this declaration effective by every
means at OR command.

sentativcs of the irish people alone
the people of Ireland, and that the
Irish Parliament is the only parliament
to which that people will give its al
legiance.
I'VE solemnly declare foreign gov

Of our national right, which we will
never tolerate, and we demand the
evacuation of our country by the Eng

we proclaim that independence to be

men responsible to the laws of civilized
warfare will be brought to trial ho 6
given rise to the question here whether
there might be any possibility Of Ho1-
land refusing to give up the ex-

Investigation shows clearly that such
a possibility exists. Dutch circles in
London firmly expressed the opinion
that the extradition of the former
Kaiser is impossible. They point ont
that the eXtraditon laws do not in

1t is the legal opinion in the Neither.

any crimes definitely mentioned in ex-
tradition treaties with Holland. More
over, they point out that if crimes
were committed they certainly were
committed in Germany Therefor
that is the country whence a request
Tor the extradition of the late war
lord must come. They express doubt
whether it will be found legal to claim
that the Kaiser's crimes were commit
ted IN France and Belgium or on the

Holds He Is Not Guilty
One we'll informed authority said
that Hollands attitude toward the
affair is that the Kaiser was not
guilty, but was the responsible party
and that there lies a distinction which
the Allies perhaps have not always
made. 1t seems from what can be
gathered here that Holland will dis
pute any demand for the former
