ing 43 Lives.

By the Associated Press.
PARIS, october l3,-The submarine

coffin for 43 young officers and sailors
oil the French navy when she was ram
med of Vigo by Greek freighter.
seems to have carried the mystery of
her fate with her 5000 feet down in
the Atlantic Ocean.
Neither the public nor otficialdom to-
night knew much more about the
disaster than they did when the first
measer news IF il came from the
French consul at Rotterdam last night.
Conflict in Reports.
There was some conflict between press
accounts and the Official announce
ment. The latter said the captain Of
the Greek steamer abandoned the
search for survivors two hours after
the collision. Some of the press &C.
counts from Rotterdam indicate that
he remained in the vicinity for IS
hours. The accident occurred about
IL pm. October 3. Off1cial accounts
said the Greek steamer proceeded at
Il o'clock" in the morning. Some of
the press reports gave this hour as
o'clock the next afternoon.
The ministry of marine sent Capt.
FerneC OF tne general stan 10 RoCCer-
dam to take part in the investigation.
Press Is Critical.
The evening newspapers today criti-
cized the naval ministry for scnoing
the small. untried submarine on test
trip at this time of the. year without
escort They pointed out that the
waters of Capt Finistere are dangerous
at this season even when relatively
calm.
The disaster hit France the harder
because submarine accidents have been
very rare in the navy of this country.
The last occurred in June, 1912. when
the Vendenaire was cut in two by the
cruiser ST. Louis while on msneuvers
and the PluvoiSs was rammed by a
channel steamer as she was coming to
the surface near Calais.

WASHINGTON. April 23 IT A two-thirds reduction in the infant mortality rate of this country is the chief accomplishment of pub lie child welfare work, which this year celebrates it's twentieth an niversary
 Dr. Josephine Baker. of the New York Public Health service and the Child Hygiene association, af- ter a conference with representa- tives of the children's bureau here, announced that while the maternal mortality rate had remained static during the years. the infant death rate had declined until the United States has become the healthiest country in the world for babies and children.
 The New York association was the first public health service or ganized with preventive measures as it's main function. It came into existence in 1908.
 This association was not only

the first public health service to deal with child welfare, bu. it was also the first one that considered seriously the theory of keeping we'll people well rather than wait ing until healthy people were sick and then trying to make them we'll" Dr. Baker said.
 Now 1t is quite a common practice for every public health service to expend it's energy in educational practices to make the public realize the need of keeping healthy.
 "The decrease in the infant mor- tality rate shows the efficacy Of the worldwide movement. Every health center in the country nows every baby and prenatal clinic. the children's bureau. the state ie- partments of health and various municipal organizations are all flooded with requests by women from every part of the country. from every walk in life for in- formation about child care"

PUBLISHERS
 ANNOUNCEMENT

Following the rule in force in all daily newspaper offices throughout the coun- try and the custom with most of the newspapers of Alaska, The Empire will re- quire, beginning May 1, that all subscriptions must be paid in advance. The need for this rule is obvious. So many people, particularly Tn Alaska, change their address es SO often, that the loss from the credit system is too large to be consistent with good business. The only way to meet the situation is to make the payment in ad- vance rule apply to every body. So there will be no exceptions.
 The management has had this matter under considera- tion for a long time, and decision is the result of ma ture deliberation. Publishers everywhere have found that the only satisfactory manner of handling newspaper cir culation is to require pay ment in advance.
 So, beginning May l, sub scriptions to The Empire must be paid in advance.

WILKINS PLANS SOUTH POLE FLIGHT
BAY STATE TOTERS ENABLED TO NAME
 PRESIDENTIL CHOICE TOMORROW

BOSTON, April 23-Voters in Massachusetts will have chance at the presidential primaries to- morrow to say who they think ought to be the next president.
 An emergency measure passed this spring enables the rank and file voters to write or paste in the name of their favorite candi- dates for president when they choose their delegates to the ma. tional political conventions. But while the vote will indicate pref erence, it will not legally bind delegates.
 Among the candidates for con. vention delegates sentiment pre- dominates for Gov. Alfred E Smith of New York among the Democrats, and for Secretary ol Commerce Herbert Hoover among the Republicans.
 A Massachusetts law concerning the pledging of candidates brought Governor Smiths first open dec laration of his candidacy for the Democratic presidential nomina ton, and the Democratic state committee has announced full list of candidates for delegate-at. large pledged to Smith. A com plete list of Smith candidates ap pears in all 16 districts of the state.
 Since no other candidate in either party authorized use of his name on the ballot, no other can. didates are pledged, but Hoover supporters say their candidate f likely to command 30 of the g. Republican delegates from Massa chusetts. The delegates are likely to cast q vote first for Gov. Al van F. Fuller.
 Among Republican candidates for delegate-at1arge, Senator Fred erick H. Gillett favors Hoover Mrs. Nathaniel Thayer, state di rector of immigration and Ameri canization, and William M. But Ter are unpledged; and severa who are unpledged are claimed fol Dawes.
