The reason Is that business aud politics ara not
convinced of the evils of for themselves. There
are Of influence who get jobs and control Jobs
through the military machine There interests
that make money by making and selling materials.
and there men who got fortunes by conditions
and other men who hope. through gamblers chance
to make other fortunes If other wars occur.
Now, of course. the truth is that outrages
every law Of economies. Where few gain. millions
must lose and bear burdens through lingering years of
mis- fortune and hardship. If statesman, cold
dispassionate busfhess-ke way could put the problem
that basis if business politics per-
suaded that this IN and the whole

LONDON, Sept. 8.


THERE is a steady improves
ment in the public health.
That Is the general summing
up Of the report of Sir George
Newman, the chief medical Of
ficer Of the ministry Of health.
published for last year.
The birth rate jumped from
1875 in 1919 to 25.4 in 1920;
the death rate showed a steady
decline at most ages, and in
FAINT mortality $50 per 1000
births) is the lowest ever re-
corded, though there is still
much unnecessary loss Of life,
both Of mothers and infants.
Trivial sickness becomes q
serious feature In the aggre-
gate, the expenditure on bene-
fit for loss Of time through
this cause amounting to no
less than 27O,ooo years per
annum for the insured popula-
tion alone.
The decline in infant NOR
tality Is held to be due to gen.
eral enlightenment on the part
Of the mothers, and the in
creasing popularity of welfare
centers, to which $50, 900 moth
ers take their babies regularly.
Maternal deaths, however,
show an increase, and the need
for more maternity homes is
insisted upon. 49, :. :.
Influenza was responsible
for a considerable rise in the
death rate during the first six
months, and there were 800.

SAYS SON SLEW MAN
THREE YEARS AGO
Father Causes Preston Bryant's
Arrest on Charge Of Killing
John p. Fleming.

FREELING. Va. Sept. s.-Pres-
ton Bryant has been captured by the
authorities Of Wise county. after some
thrilling experiences. For some time,
according to the county officials, he
had been terrorizing the people of
the upper section of Cumberland
Mountain.
The case against Bryant for which
his recent arrest was affected 10 this:
About three years ago John Preston
Fleming was, shot and killed In the
Cumberland section of Wise county,
but no proof could be had as to who
committed the deed. Some time since,
Bud" Bryant, the father of the man
now in custody. charged his son with
the crime. and upon this charge Pres
ton was apprehended. 1t appears that
there had been a break In the AMIGA
bile relations of father and son which
shaped the course of events.
John Preston Fleming. the slain
man. and Preston Bryant. now in Gus.
tody. were first cousins, Fleming 9
father and Bryant's mother being
brother and sister.
Two Of Bryant's brothers are now
serving a term in the Kentucky peni-
tentiary for an attempt made upon
the lives Of two citizens Of Pike

.N.Y.MERCHANTS
|. OPPOSE FORD'S
SHOALS OFFER
Urge Refusal on Ground Manu-
facturer's Estimates Are
Absurdly Low
Universal Service.

A protest against acceptance Of the
offer of Henry Ford for the govern.
ment nitrate plant at Muscle Shoals
was presented TO Secretary OF War
Weeks yesterday by William Fellowes
Morgan on behalf OF the Merchants
Association Of New York.
The protest declared that acceptance
OF the Ford offer would cause the
government to lose 1854 100000 during
the 100 years the lease would be In
force. Mr.. Ford proposed to pay
| S5 900 900 for the nitrate plant itself.
which has been completed at cost
of SGT ,365. 1875, and 10 ready for imme.
diate operation. the protest said.
The Merchants Association took
issue with Mr.. Ford's estimates of the
cost Of completing the hydro-electric
power plants and on which he based
an amortization plan under which he
would pay s16s,000.0 900 in rental to
the federal government during 400
years. a @
Accepting as approximately cor.
rect the most recent estimates OF the
government engineers. the additional
outlay required TO complete the hydro
electric power plants will approximate
sec, 900, 900, instead OF the $28, 900 900
to which Mr.. Ford limits his obliga.
tion," the protest said. ts
ION the same basis, the entire cap.
ital investment Of the Government
will be approximately 77,000. 900, in.
stead of $4,000. 900, to which Mr..
Ford restricts his amortization habil.
ity. Mr.. Ford's proposal provides for
the amortization Of $4,000 900. as
against the 100000. 900 new invest
ment required and the S17, 100000 In.
vestment already made. thus leaving
the Government to stand an uiti.
mate loss of s15.oo0.o0o Of the new
capital required. In addition to the
loss of the s17.000.ooo already In
vested. or q total capital loss Of
S32, 900, ,o00." ...-.
The Governments capital invest.
ment and interest at s per cent on
the $50 1000, 900. which the Merchants
Association declared II would cost to
complete the power plants. would
total $377 900. 900 in the 100 years In
which the Ford lease would operate.
To offset this, the association de-
clared. Mr.. Ford proposed to pay
only $4,000 900, leaving q net loss
to the Government Of S1s4.o0o,ooo.

COMMISSIONERS ON
RIDE OVER SUMMIT

Commissioners Briney, Summers
and Snyder on July 7th made the trip
over the Leadore- Patterson summit,
with view Of judging the practica-
bility Of reopcning the road that way
leading from the Pahsimaroi valley.
Ralph Burr furnished horses for the
suhimit trip and accompanied the par
ty, which included also Don G. Reed.
Fred Chase and 10y II. Lee. The
round trip was accomplished in day
though II included az a part Of the
itinerary visit from Patterson to
May for which II. b. Herndon met the
party with a car at Patterson. Up on
the summit snow still appears in
banks where little streams run in all
directions and nature wears the garb
of early spring.
The commissioners were impressed
with the ease with which a road
might be built ON the Leadore side Of
the mountains, but conditions were
found not 40 favorable on the Patter-
son end of the proposed road where
the canyon is strcwn with slides and
boulders.
f The creek carries even ut this sea-
son more than 5000 inches Of water,
most Of which is lost before II
reaches the outspreading lands.
Some day this valuable asset Of the
great valley will not be permitted to
sink but will be saved by cement con-
duits that would reclaim thousands
OF acres Of valuable land by the use
Of the present waste.
The commissioners and their escort
from Leadore numbered six persons
while there were but four saddle
horses. Mr.. Lee. who IN never quite
happy unless moving on the double
quick, chose TO make the mountain
climb afoot, in which he ut-distaneed
his companions, even those who had
the horses under them. At times,
however, Lee had TO take lift when
the only trail there lay in the bed OF
Patterson creek when the riders
doubled up on their steeds in ORDER to
fhros1vk
