Monticello Express: Had the Ce-

trend Of affairs in the judicial con-

the conclusion that Judge Weaver
was renominated largely because he
was opposed by a large contingent
OF corporation attorneys who were
members OF the convention.

A young naval man who lost leg in action at
Vera Cruz and was pensioned out of service,
joined up in the late war for special work, won
a commission and lost his pension because the
navy department decided that man who could
do so well is not disabled. Now the youth re-
mains liable bodied with only one leg and not
a cent to show for the other which was shot
away in the war before the last. Some figuring |!
The effects of government interference with
open trade are shown by a growing scarcity OF
sugar in Canada on account of the Canadian
wholesalers sending their stocks across the bor-

cost, the Canadian iobber makes at least twelve
per cent on the international exchange.

There is nothing peculiar in this attitude. 1t is
merely, We repeat the broad reflex of an attitude
already taken up by all the European allies in
questions where their national interests affect
ed. and also by the British dominons in their
lations with the British government. 1t gives us
statement, in plain English, OF limitations to
the ideal of International action which of
the other allies WILL in practice, dispute So far,
therefore, from destroying the league Of nations,
the American reservations have rendered it the
great service of pointing clearly to the flaws which
at present neutralize its worth.

We should state definitely that action with
in the league will be governed solely by our own
judgment of every situation as 1t arises, and we
must undertake general obligations which we
may not be able willing, when the test comes, to
discharge.
We must in commit ourselves to respon-
sibilities which we cannot discharge to the full
with resources, Independent of assist
ance from any foreign power.

Lack of Attention
 Cause of Big Rise
 In Infant Mortality
By Associated Press

Washington. March 1i.-Iaek of ade- quate medical attention in remote rural districts has tended to increase infant mortality, according to a statement is- sued today by the children's bureau. la DOT department, founded on survey of ilVe widely rseparated counties. The study was prompted by census reports showing that death from premature birth had increased from III per cent in 1910 to 211 in 1917 and death from injuries at birth from 3.2 per cent to 46.
 The investigation conducted by the bu- reau showed that 99 out of 162 children porn in the five rural communities died before they were one month old.
 Long distances, bad roads and the small number of physicians practicng in tf ose districts, made it extremely diff ricuit. the report said, for mothers to obtain medical assistance. In one southern county only 6S out of 16O mothers had doctor when their babies were born and in a northern county ooctor attended only 8 mothers out of o6. In another county more than two thirds of the mothers were forced to forego the services of a physician

NOT UNEXPECTED

Paris, March 14.--The German coup detat is described by French writers as not unexpected or surprising. When Pre- mier Millerand had received sufficiently explicit details, he is said by the Paris newspapers to have convoked a confer ence of the ambassadors, which delib- erated until [ o'clock last night, and reached the determination that the en- tente governments would not intervene in German internal affairs.
 The conference resolved also to inform the German defacto government. which ever it might be, of the intention of the allies to exact execution of the treaty of Versailles more firmly than ever.
 This action was interpreted by the Paris papers to be an answer to Maj. Gen. Won Luettwitz's declaration that the new Ger man government was ready to execute the reasonable classes of the treaty, the word reasonable" being seized upon by many of the papers for emphasis.
