SECRETS EXPOSED

Some one finally says a good word for the ex-kaiser.
The "some one' is Sir Basil Thomson, former head OF Scotland
Yard detectives.
Thomson, now lecturing in America, and revealing sin.
side stuff of the British secret, service, says:
s'The Germany general staff had resolved upon the IN
vasion of Belgium and they put their plans before the kaiser.
He vetoed them.
'sThis situation continued for 48 hours and after the gen
eral staff had issued the orders for the army to advance, Won
Motke went to the kaiser's bedroom at 2 in the morning and
asked him to sign the order. He refused. Won Moltke then
said that the safety of the fatherland had devolved upon thr
general staff and, "If your majesty refuses to sign, the gen
eral staff must take the responsibility.
'tIn other words" according to Thomson, 1.-THE kaiser
must choose between abdicatlon and approval, ana he fo9s
the latter course"
Thomson's lecture, instead Of absolving the exkaiset
from guilt, distributes the guilt to the shoulders of many, BH
included.
A melodramatic picture of the death Of Rasputin, sacred
devil Of Russia, - is given by Thomson.
Rasputin, taken to a palace basement dining hall, was
given a bottle of poisoned wine that had been tried out on a
dog.

He died hard. You do not wonder, YoussapoV oecloeo'
that Rasputin was the devil himself.
Sir Basil Thomson thus adds a few more pages to the
"inside history Of the World War, already contributed TO
50 heavily by William Hohenzollern, Lloyd George, Franklin
K. Lane and others.
That is contrary to custom, for diplomats usually leave
their memoirs to be published after death.
We are fortunate. It is rarely that a generation that
fights a war lives to learn what took place behind the scenes.

THE VOTING MACHINE AGAIN

AS is usual after every election an agitation is started for the
establishment of voting machines to take the place OF paper bal
lots There is no doubt that we are far behind the times In the
matter Of voting. Everything has moved ahead but our method
Of registering the peoples will at the polls.
The old paper ballots that have to be counted after the polls
are closed might have been good enough when the country was
mneh smaller than it is and there were not nearly the number of
voters that there are now, but with the electorate so large and with
Sd much independence shown in marking the ballot, some-upto-
date means for getting the results must be adopted sooner or later.
The voting machine is simple enough if given honestsconsider-
alton. Previous attempts to introduce it have been frustrated by
political leaders who knew that they could not manipulate cleo
tons with the machine in use. Any man who can learn to punch
afime clock at a factory gate can just as readily learn to operate
4svoting machine. And the vote is automatically counted just
as accurately as a counting machine gives the totals in a bank.
When the polls are closed the machine is opened and the complete
totals are all there ready to be announced. 1t is simple enough
ance the people become sufficiently aroused to take this progress
siye step which viii do more than anything else to assure an
hsret count.

YEAR 1921 HEALTHY ONE
FOR AMERICAN BABIES
Daily Letter by Frederic }. Haskin

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-the year
1921 was a healthy one for Ameri-
can babies-comparatively speak
ing. According to the exhaustive
report just issued by the American
Child Hygiene Association, the in
fant death rate last year was 77.9
per thousand births. This figure is
still large enough to be reproach to
the nation, but it may be compared
with the infant death rate of 1918
which was 1867. In other words,
of every 1000 babies born in each
of these years nearly 80 more sur
vived in 1921 than in 1918.
The shocking infant mortality of
the United States is slowly but sure
ly being cut down as mothers, doc
tors, and nurses are educated in the
proper ways of rearing children. For
many years the Country regarded
this ~preVentable defamation of ITS
infants with apathy believing it to
be the inevitable accompaniment of
modern life. In 1909 those WAC
were aware that tine lives of count
less thousands of infants might be
saved by the application of intelli-
gence, began the campaign for bet
terment. In that year the Anleri-
can Child Hygiene Association, lit
first had another ranle), was or
gained under the auspices of the
American Academy of Medicine,
and as the organization of this So
ciety has expanded as its energy
and influence have grown, the in
FAINT death rate has steadily declin-
ed. 1t is a conspicuous example of
the value of volunteer effort IN
civic improvement.
In fact the direct connection be-
tween the education of the public
by attested methods and the health
of infants is not so well recognized
that it has become &n axiom with
the Association that given proper
organization in a community, and
enough money, decline in the in
FAINT death rate can be predicted
mathematically."
The American Child Hygiene As
ISOLATION was first in the field, but
it is now not alone. During the war
there was organized in New York
the Child Health Organization of
America to instill habits of health
into American school children. With
its health calendars for children, it's
health songs and plays, and, more
spectacularly. with "Cho-cho, the
Health Clown familiar to tens of
thousands of American school chill
dren, this organization has been do
ing valuable practical work. Also
within the past 10 years the Chill
dren's Bureau was created as part
of the Department of Labor, and
this official bureau works in close
cooperation with the two volun-
teer bodies.
