Spanish Birth Rate.

Spanish Birth Rate.
Now. 1t is in Spain that they are
beginning to worry about the rising
death rate and the falling birth rate.
DR.. Gomez Ocana presents in Eel Siglo
Medico (Barcelona) statistics for sew
eral years, showing that in 1912 the
death rate was PIG per 1000 popula-
ton. and that by 1917, before the adj
vent of the pandemic Of influenza, it
had risen to 26.16. And the birth rate
fell from 31.60 per thousand in 1912
to 292 in 1917.
Official figures for 1913 are not yet
available, but in the city Of Madrid
the death rate rose in that year to
3O37, while the birth rate fell to 26.7O.
The figures for 1918. however, are abb
normal because of the pandemic.

Football Banquet
The banquet that the Girls Athlet-
ic association gave for the Football
team last Saturday evening was
very pleasant one. The library was
very tastefully decorated in yellow and
white, the color scheme being carried
out in other parts of the room as we'll
as in the table decorations. During
the banquet the room and tables were
lighted by rows of yellow candles of
uniform size and shape. A Kewpie,
dressed in yellow and white to resem-
BILE flower, was placed in the center
|of the longest table and at each of the
smaller tables were boquets Of yellow
and white chrysanthemums. Place
cards were made in the shape of foot
balls. Mr.. Wills proved to be very
capable as well as witty POSTMASTER.
'Toasts were given by Coach Smith,
Capt. Jim Parr, Evelyn Elliott, Merle
White, Miss Williams and Miss Brown.
All the other members of the team,
Girls Athletic association were called
upon to give impromptu speeches. A.

JAP'S PROPOSAL
NOT PLEASING
Objection to the Principle Of
Racial Equality
INTERNATIONAL AIR CODE
NeutraIs Win Have An Opportunity
To Present Suggestions TO League
OF Nations commisslon--Wil-
son Dimes With House.

Paris.-The Dominion delegates
here heartily concur in the view of
the British delegation that the ques'
ton of the equality of treatment of
all nationalities throughout the world
is not matter for the League of Ma.
tons. A prominent Australian ex-
pressed the opinion that the COM
monwealth was not prejudiced against
the Japanese, but had great admira-
tion for them Nevertheless, he said,
Australians believed that it would be
better for the future world if each
race should develop along its own dis
tinctive lines.
The chief consideration, the Aus
tralian continued, was the Industrial
one. Australia aimed at building up
in the most rapid manner an all
British population of more than H.
000,000, and her chief attraction was
her high wages and pleasant indus
trial conditions. The Asiatic work
er, as known in Australia, however,
was a cheap worker and therefore,
the Australian continued, if the doors
were opened to Asiatic immigration
they would have to be closed to Eu-
ropeans.
A Canadian delegate declared that
the question of immigration must be
settled individually by each country.
Canada, he said, hitherto has had no
complaint regarding the Japanese in
Canada. Their immigration was linn
tied, he pointed out, and only few
hundred were admitted yearly.
President Wilson will act as chair
man at the meeting of the League of
Nations commission which will be
held Saturday morning, when all pro-
posed amendments and changes will
be considered and the plan put into
definite form.
This will be the first meeting of the
commission since the covenant was
adopted the day before Mr. Wilson
left for America and it will consider
proposals of neutrals and also any 9TH
err suggestions which have taken def
mite form.
Lord Robert Cecil and Thomas w.
Gregory, former United States Attor-
ney General, are now here and are
among those who have sought to draft
a proviso relative to the Monroe Doc
trine in such form that it will meet
the approval of legal experts.
The commission plans to hold con-
tinuous sessions until the work Of re-
vision is completed.

Washington. Initial steps toward
bringing about a reduction of prices
and sterilization of the basic commo-

representatives of the steel industry
with the Department of Commences
recently organized industrial board.
The steel men, headed by E. HI. Gary,
chairman of the American Iron and
Steel Institute, met with the board
and later held separate conference.
The attitude Of the steel manufac-
turers toward the boards proposals
was not announced. The board, how
ever in statement issued after the
joint conference said that while ian
actual decision on lowered scale of
prices had not been reached, salts
factory progress has been made. =

follows:
after meeting with leaders Of the
iron and steel industry, representing
approximately 80 per cent. Of the coun-
try's production, the Industrial Board
announced that satisfactory progress
had been made but that a final deci-
sion on lowered scale of prices
would not be reached until after full
consideration of all phases of the sub
ject.
The question of prices was not
touched upon at the first conference.
The entire time was devoted to dis
cussion of the general situation and
the necessity of reduced schedule of
steel prices at the present time in or
der to stimulate buying.
I'VE found the steel men entirely
willing to cooperate in making eff
fective any program that will hasten
the return to normal conditions" said
George N. Peek, chairman of the In

PEACE TREATY
IN TWO WEEKS
Allied Commission to Control
Navigation Of Rhine
CABLE OWNERSHIP PROBLEM
League Of Nations VIII Be In Draft
-Fortifications OF HeIisoiand
To Be Demanded, coun-
ell Decides.

Paris.-At the close of conference
between President Wilson, David
Lloyd George, the British Prime
Minister, and M. Clemenceau, the
French Premier, the announcement
was made, that no final decisions had
been taken, but that all the main ques-
tons surrounding the Peace Confer
ence had been discussed, that the
meeting had been entirely satisfactory
and that there had been no change in
the plans previously announced, which
contemplate the completion of the
peace treaty within the next two
weeks, including the league Of ma
tons.
Great interest attached to the meet.
ing owing to a report that there was
a divergence in views on some of the
main questions to be discussed Great
crowds gathered to witness the arrival
of the heads Of the various govern
ments.
The Notifications on the Island of
Heligoland, Germany's formidable
base in the North Sea, must be dis
mantled. This decision was reached
by supreme allied war council.
Tho council has under consideration
the question of maintaining Heligo-
land as port of refuge for peaceful
craft.
1t was decided also that the Kiel
Canal should be internationalized and
made available to the ships of all ma
tons on even terms. Tolls will be
collected to pay for the maintenance
of the canal. Germany probably win
retain sovereignty of the waterway.
Disposition of German warships is
not likely to be included in the treaty
of peace, according to the view of the
American peace delegation. Germany.
however will be required to surren-
der title to the ships. The ultimate
ownership will be determined later.
The future navigation of the Rhine
will be controlled by an Allied com
mission, the Peace Conference Com
mission on the International Regime
of Ports, Railways and Waterways de-
cided today. The commission will re-
place the German-Holland Commission
of before the war
The British delegation to the Peace
Conference, has consented to refer to
the Supreme Council the question of
the future ownership of the German
cables to America. All parties inter
ested in the question are preparing
briefs.
