Needless Sacrifice.

The Sheppard-Towner bill TO provide fec
eraI assistance In maternity cases was passed
by the senate several weeks ago. 1t went 10
the house where 1t was referred TO commit
tee with the understanding that it would be
promptly considered and reported out Tor maj
action 1t still reposes in committee, and the
news from Washington Is that it seems 10 be
the intention to permit it to die there If this
happens it will be rank betrayed Of the mil
lions of American women who, through their
ORGANIZATIONS, have endorsed the bill and urged
its passage. 1t is clearly the one thing more
than any other which the women Of the nation
lave agreed should be written into the legis-
lation of the country. The Sheppard-Towner
hill is no maudlin sentimental experiment as
the few who oppose it have sought to make
out IL is a practical effort to alleviate the
suffering mothers and to save the lives OF
mothers and babies A similar law exists in
most other countries in the world. In the
United States 5000 mothers die in childbirth
every year. 1t is conservatvely estimated that
half of these the victims of defective care
during, preceding or following the birth OF
the child. The fatalities among children dur
ing the critical first year are upwards of 25e,-
900. Half of these are said to perish because

is shown by the fact that the United States is
18th among the nations of the world in respect
of protection to child bearing women. And we
arc seventh in respect of the protection to
the babies. This is not guesswork. 1t is
based on the death rate figures of the eulight-
ened nations of the world. The Sheppard
Towner bill is designed to wipe out the stigma
which these figures have placed upon the ma
ton The amount of money which the bill
arpropriates, $1,48OOOO, is inconsequential IN
view of the urgency of the situation and the
great objective. During the two years con-
gress has been considering the bill $4,000
mothers and 100000 babies have died the
result of the lack of care which they would
have received had it been promptly enacted
into law. There can be no possible excuse for
further delay, and every member Of the lower
house of congress who directly or indirectly
contributes to the delay should be held
responsible.

The Russian Famine.

Almost unbelievable reports are coming
from Russia as TO the conditions of the poorer
classes there. Not only they without food
and clothing, but they are homeless, sleeping
in railroad yards and wherever night finds
them 1t seems to be a condition that the con-
st1tuted authorities are either unable IN
willing to relieve. The sufferers include diff
ferent races of people, people who have been
wanderers since the early days of the war and
have been driven from place to place There are
little children among the victims. There
hundreds of deaths daily from starvation and
exposure.
1t is a situation that strikes at the heart
strings of all humanely disposed peoples, and
it is unlikely that the United States will long
remain inactive in the face of the heart rend-
ing reports that coming from the stricken
country. America never yet has turned a deaf
ear where humanity has been suffering, no
matter where the cry came from, and, despite
that there is much suffering within own
borders at the present time, it is not of record
that there is any actual want that has not been
met, America should join with other countries.
or at least initiate movement in that direc-
ton, to rescue the starving hordes in Russia
In this Christian age such a condition should
not be permitted to continue.

Staying of Erzberger.

In the death of Matthias Erzberger the Ger
man people have lost one of their best friends,
although a friend who suffered the stigma of
an enemy because of a fidelity that led him
10 advise the right thing when it
unpopular. His death at the hands of
sassin is one OF the most remarkable stories
OF the after-war politics. Because of the veil
that shrouded Germany during the war Err
berger's position and politics during that pc
riod have not yet been made clear in the world
outside. 1t is said, however. that the begin
ming of the conflict found him an ardent apostle
OF the Welt Macht" theory, an advocate of
relentless tactics in war and of the other poll
Cies that made up part of the German creed
in 1914. Whether this was or not his po-
litieal view in the early years of the war, by
the time Of the entry OF the United States he
appeared in radically different role. While
others still held TO the old illusions he dared
to point to the realities. At the time there
but one other man in Germany, far the
rest of the world could judge. who understood
the true state of affairs, or at least ventured
to speak of it. The other man was Karl Lieb-
knecht, leader of the Socialists.
Erzberger placed no faith in the proposal of
Ludendorff and Hindenburg 10 bring the war
to victorious conclusion by a great offensive
IN the west. Seeing no prospect but certain
best peace it could while it still held Belgium
and the richest parts OF France as pawns with
which to bargain. The recommendations made
him at once probably the most unpopular man
III the empire This unpOpularity was further
heightened when he advocated the acceptance
OF the treaty OF Versailles, an attitude that
most OF the German people considered nothing
less than betrayal of his country. The de-
grees OF courage and integrity that must have
been required to pursue such a course can be
understood by the parallel that would have
been Afforded by the position OF Eugene Debs
IN this country had Germany, and not the
United States. been triumphant at the close OF
hostilities. From the viewpoint OF other ma
tons there was no excessive surrender OF ma
tional pride and interest in Herr Erzbergers
position. The allies were the Rhine pre-
pared to occupy the country in case of Ger
many's refusal to rstify. There was nothing
TO do but ratify. but the who saneIy ad-
vised compliance hated, while militarists
who urged from soap boxes the organization
Of defensive measures blind to the conse-
qaences, were lauded. Liebknecht suffered !
the penalty of similar argument when he was |

For Every Woman.

Whether or not the women Of the world
succeed in getting representation on the wash
ington disarmament conference delegations
they are going to have chance to express
their desire for world peace in way that can
not but be effective. The National Woman's
Trade Union league of America has initiated
a worldwide demonstration by women for dis
armament to be held on Armistice day. the
date of the opening of the Washington confer
ence 1t is expected that millions of women in
every country in the world will participate in
the demonstration, the details OF which are vet
to be worked out. The purpose as expressed
by Mrs. Raymond Robins, the president of the
league is ito strengthen the governments in
their desire TO disarm by giving unequivocal
expression Of the women of the world" This
is a call to duty that should challenge the in
terest of every woman, however humble he-
station in life.
