PALM BEACH, Fla.-(SNs)-

WASHINGTON (ANP)- Infant
and maternaI mortality among
Negroes as discussed by Elizabeth
@. Tandy, D. &c., consultant on
statistics in tie children's bureau,
u S. Department of Labor, shows
higher rate than the same caus-
es OF death among whites. In a
summary published by the U. S.
Public Health service, it is said
that more than 250O0O Negro in
fallts are born in the rural areas
the United States.
Almost two-thirds of these in
f&nts are born in the rural raeas

than one-half of all Negro live
Dlrtlls have nlidwiveS in attend
ance. In the same rural areas,
abo'+t four-ftfths of the Negro
births are attended by midwives
But in southern cities, about three
fourths are attended by physicians.
IN northern cities, practically all
are attended by physicians and al
most two-thirds by physicians in
hospitals.
22,G00 INFANTS DIE
j;.About $4,000 Negro infants die
each year in Cne United States. In
every section of the country, the
mortality rate for Negro infants is
greatly in excess of that for white
infants. And strange enough, the
moftality4 rates are. on the whole
much. higher il urban areas than
lrl rural areas.

CAUSE OF DEATHS
The Cause OF the death among
infants, where the mortality rate
during the first year of life is high
er than at any other time, is due
to natal and prenatal Causes. In
cidentaily, more than halt of those
who die do SO in the first month of
life. Respiratory diseases are Sec
ond in importance, gastrointestinal
diseases thirds epidemic and other
communicable diseases fourth. The
mortality rate from each of these
causes is higher among Negro in
fants, also, than the same causes
among the white infants.

and the United States, gatheret
around the peace table at Versailles
to draw up terms of peace and tc
circumscribe the activities of a
once proud, and highly trained
oose-stepping militant people
whose ambition to rule the worlo
had come to an abrupt end, and
whose military chieftain, Bill, the
Kaiser, had taken refuge in Hol-
land.
Great Britain was ably represent
ed by Lloyd George, an idol of his
countrymen, who had successfully
guided England through the last
two years of the war; the fiery
Georges Clemenceau, French pre-
mier, represented France; Italy was
represented by Vittorio Orlando
prime minister of Italy; and Wood
row Wilson, then president of the
United States who broke all prece-
dents by becoming the first preSi-
dent of this nation to visit Europe
while in office and participate per-
sonally in a peace conference, rep
resented the United States.
Thus the fate of Germany was
left in the hands of the four great
powers who, undoubtedly adhered
to the age-old adage, ITO the vic
tor belong the spoils', judging from
the way they sliced up Germany
and passed her around among
themselves.
With the four defeated nations
Germany, Austria Hungary, Turkey
and Bulgaria-eXcluded from the
peace conference, the victorious ma
tions had free hand in penalizing
Germany, who had by her ruthless,
and inhuman war tactics, gotten
herself in disfavor with the major

One of the most disastrous fires

forty families, caught fire Friday

To many American Negro sold

sight of the tall black men, wear

failed to arouse interest. "Alger-

met them.
