Sanitation and preventive medicine

Human conservation is one of Ser

Serbia was higher than her deathrate.
In spite OF the inroads of epidemics
her population was increasing at the

;, Another pressing problem facing
the country Is the immense number
or orphans. In Old Serbia there are
$4,000 full orphans and 100000 half
orphans. Only 5000 of these are
cared for in orphanages supported by
the government or foreign relief>agen-
cies. The rest are placed in private
homes, where they are not always
welcome guests on account of the
scarcity Of food and the other neces-
sarfes Of life.

SWEDEN SHORT OF MONEY
Stock Exchange Is Much Depressed
BY This Condition

Stockholm, October 3-[Correspon-
dence Of The Associated Pressl-
Sweden is suffering from a scarcity
OF money and an abnormal economic
situation This is reflected in the re-
port OF the state bank for September.
The money shortage depresses the
stock exchange where prices of bonds
and shares have touched a very low
level, even old established industrial
enterprises which pay dividends Of
below par.
Causes to which Sweden's unsettled
condition is attributed here include
tne socialist program, emanating from
the present government, such as the
investigation whether specialization of
industry and commerce lies within
the borders of possibility, heavy tax
alton, an increasing demand for high
er wages and the labor unrest.
Adding to this, the growing debts
to foreign countries through unneces-
sary imports, and decreased produc-
ton ascribed by many to the eight
hour day, one obtains a picture of the
present economic position of Sweden.

energy and ability ara international
recognition, was placed inAcommArd
of all our naval forces in Europe A
wiser choice could not have been
made. Handicapped by an INSULT
cient stan, by refusal to carry out his
important recommendation and by
instructions which appear to be open
to shameful Interpretation, he never
theless did his duty like an Ameri
can sailor. What the navy accom-
plished in making submarine opera
lions ineffective and dangerous to
those engaged in them and In wear
ing down the enemy to surrender, It
accomplished by his management and
direction. It rose superior to depart
mental errors and departmental
blunders.
Honors To Navy
"Of the splendid character of our
navy's personnel there never has been
question. 1t is in administration
that our chief concern lies. 1t was
not until we had been at war for al
most a year that pressure of peril
compelled recognition of sound prin-
ciples and the development of an or
ganization which could perform real
service. When the war came in
Europe commentators of patrio-
tic experts were <fiouted and plans
proposed for effective preparedness
were brushed aside. Naturally,
knowledge, of this action augmented
Prussian arrogance, and we suffered
insults which could have been pro-
voked only by contempt. As the war
continued we built, not for anti
submarine operations, but apparently
for conflict with the victor, whether
the central empires or the entente.
Almost year elapsed before the
nayy's anti submarine force was mas.
sed in the zone Of operations. The
files of the department are Uttered
hcers for increases of personnel
which date from the moment Of Ger
man advance into Belgium,
mo incompetency must ever again
menace an arm of the service of such
vital Importance to US. The navy
deserves, 1t will have, an admins
tration which will keep 1t always At,
always ready to fight and always sure
Of support on shore. And we shall
regard it always not as weapon to
fndict tyranny, but as means to
preserve ways and promote liberty.
Civilization is not advanced by the
gun. 1t is advanced by commerce, the
commerce of idease rs well as the
commerce of good. It IL the purpose Of
the republican party to develop the
commerce Of the nation and to re-
Quire SO far as 1t may a distribution
Of the benefits of that commerce
among al our people,
There is one complete answer to
the socialist agitator, one complete
remedy for discomfort and disorder,
and that Is business success and pro :
sperfty in every line of National en-
deavor. To very large extent pro-
sperity lies with the people them
selves, but they must be assisted by
wise laws and especially must be free
from hampering restrictions. In
meeting these problems, In solving
them, the republican party seeks
your counsel and your support that
1t may the better and the wiser. min
lister to your welfare"
