Of children in farm homes, 7,467 re-
ports showing an average Of but
1.1s under ten years Of age for each
home, and but 0.s9 between ten and
sixteen years Of age. In the rural
homes Of the East the number of
children fell below the countrywide
average, while that in the Western
section proved the highest, with Ia
children under ten years and 81

"This means,"/ comments Miss

women, under whose direction the
survey was made, "that even though
the: farm home be provided with an
automobile and telephone (S2 per
cent have autos and ~ per cent have
rhcnes), the farm family may be
obliged to act unaided in case of
sickness, childbirth or serious acct
dent"
What this means to farm mothers
is indicated by the recently published
reports Of special field agents of the
ckjldren's bureau o. the Department
of Labor on maternal and infant
welfare in rural areas in widely
separated states.
Little Care for Mothers
Scarcely a mother in any Of the
rural areas studied had prenatal
care measuring up to an accepted
standard Of adequacy, and more than
three-fourths had no medical super
vision or advice" stated Miss Julia
Lathrop, chief of the bureau, in her
annual report to Congress.
Year by year, for want of adev
quate care, thousands Of mothers
die from causes largely preventable,
according to statistics compiled by
the Children's Bureau, with an effect
upon their babies as direct as it is
disastrous.
"At least one baby in every twen-
ty-fve dies from causes directly
traceable to the care and condition
Of the mother" says Miss Lathrop.
Moreover, the infant mortality rate
from all stated causes during the
first month Of life is shown to be
higher (46 per 1,000) in the rural
part Of the birth registration area

Okuma to Rouse Japanese
Against CALIFORNIA; Plan

TOXIC, Sept. 20 (By The Associated
Press. ).-According to the Asahi, Mar
quis Shiganobu Okuma, former Premier
has decided to devote himself to awak-
cning the Japanese people against "the
unlawful attitude Of California Ameri-
cans" To further his purpose, the
newspaper says, Marquis Okuma will
call a meeting Of 100 prominent states
men. politicians, diplomats, scholars,
business men and publicists Mt his resi-
dcncc to exchange views on the subject.
The newspaper says Waseda Uni
vcrsty, Of which Marquis Okuma was
the founder and Is now president, will
start campaign against the anti
Japanese agitation in America, with the
object of arousing public opinion. The
Asahi quotes Marquis Okumn as con-
demnng the Indifference of the people
to grave questions affecting the ma
tion's interests and saying they are be-
coming like the Chinesc--weak and
cowardly. "Thc will Of the majority of
the Japanese people must be known"
the marquis declared, according TO the
newspaper.

question were not remedied it would
lead to u similar state of affairs in
Australia, Canada, New Zealand and

paper asserted Marquis Okuma thought
the approaching world Sunday school
convention in Toxic offered fine op-
portunity, because it will be attended
by many Americans advocating Justice
and humanity. They must be i'm
pressed, according to the marquis, with
the unreasonable and unjust attitude
OF the Californians Simultaneously.
the marquis declared, strong, unified
national opinion must defend the in
tercsts of the Japanese in California.
Decline to Discuss Negotiations
Authorities at the japanese Foreign
ONCE declined to discuss negotiations
with the United States regarding anti
Japanese legislation in California. All
they will say is that everything possible
is being done to find an amicable and
successful solution of the problem
which they admit is difficult.

would seek to revive the racial equality

Treaty Terms
New German Ambassador
Informed by Millerand
of Only Means to Bring
About a Reconciliation
Words Held Significant
Diplomatic Relations Are
Resumed Between Two
Nations After Six Years
Special Gable to The Tribune

Copyright, 1920, New York Tribune Inc.
PARIS, Sept 20. - Diplomatic rela-
tlons between Germany and France
were renewed to-day after a lapse of
more than six years. The new Berlin
Ambassador, Wilhelm Mayer Won Kauf-
beuren, presented his credentials to
President Milcrand ut the Elysee
Palace.
In the discussion between the Presi-
dent and the ambassador the French
policy toward Germany was clearly
outlined. Mayer declared:
"On the basis defined by the Treaty
of Versailles shall continue to devote
all of my efforts in accordance with
the intentions Of my government to the
favorable development of relations be-
tween our countries"
Millerand, in reply, emphasized the
desire of the French government for
conciliation, but at the same time the
need of defining the precise condi-
tions on which France could undertake
normal relations. He said:
IL rejoice to hear you declare that
you will endeavor to realize the inten-
tions of your government in assuring,
on the basis of the Treaty of Yer
sallles, the favorable development of
relations which are about to be es-
tablished between our countries. The
whole policy of the government of the
Republic of France toward Germany
is prompted by one thought-that the
loyal execution of the solemn pact
which ended the war is the only means
of solving the grave difficulties which
still exist between the two nations and
prevent complete collabora ton in
works of peace"
These words are regarded here as
significant at the moment when the
BRUSSELS financial conference has de-
clded that normal relations between
the European nations are indispensable
for repairing the financial disorders of
the Continent. President Millerand
admits this truth, but thinks that Ger
many has not yet shown by her at
titude that she deserves that other
nations should come to her assistance
1t is affirmed in we'll informed circles
ncre that the meaning of Mllerand's
speech is that propaganda against the
carrying out OF the peace treaty must
cease before France consents to fnan.
cial and economic arrangements favor

Uproar Caused by Irish
AT Pilgrims Meeting
Organist Plays ''God Save the
King'' TO Restore Harmony
for English Guests

Men and women who are seeking to
engage in the Irish revolt on the safe
side of the Atlantic tried to break up
patriotic meeting arranged at Car
ncge Hall last night by the Sulgrave
Institution, in honor of the representa-
tives sent by Great Britain, Canada
and the Netherlands to the local ter
centenary celebration of the Pilgrims
landing.
The program Of music and addresses s
was approaching it's end when a woman
elbowed her way through the audience
Of 1000 to the orchestra tier from her
seat in the topmost tier. When she had
reached her goal she displayed a ban
ncr inscribed: (Which? We, the Peo-
pie, American or English ?"
Several ushcrs started for her and
Mt once cries arose in various parts of
thc hall. 1--WE done want no Limeys!"
"Hurrah for De Valcra!" and "Three
cheers for the Irish Rerublic!" were
some OF the shouts raised. Both men
and women took part in the uproar.
Kisses and cries OF stop them" put
them out!" came from the bulk of the
audience. In return several Of the
masculine safe and sane rcvolutionists
started TO rally around the woman's
banner, but were dispersed by two
patrolmen.
At this point the quick -wttcd organ
ist struck up "God Save the King" and
the chorus on the stage joined in. At
once everybody rose and stood silent,
tho Irish sympathizcrs evidently fail
ing to distinguish the words and iden-
tifying the mir as that Of "America." ;"
That ended the disturbance. The meet
ing was adjourned, however.
