Wasnington, Sept. 16. —(Mail)—
War work for babies which resulted
in lowering the infant death rate
in Great Britain, Frauce, Belgium,;
and Germany is described' by Dr. j
Grace L. Meigs of the Children's I
Bureau of the U. S. Department of i
Labor in a paper on Infant Welfare
Work in War Time which the bu- j
reau Irs just made available for;
general distribution.
The special features of the work,
have varied in the different coun
tries. In England there has been
a striking increase in the num&er
of health vistors employed to help
and to instruct mothers in the j
care of their babies and young chil-'
dren. An act providing for gov-1
ernm<i>t aid to local agencies had,
as it happened, been passed in
July, 1914.
The outstanding feature of the
work In Paris seems to be the in- '
creased provision for maternity care; I
and in. Belgium, the establishment j
of canteens for the feeding of moth-'
ers and of young children.
Dr. Meigs speaks of the import-1
ant Dart played by the military
separation allowances which are,
grant'd by foreign Governments to j
the wives of enlisted men, either,
as in Great Britain and Canada, to
the wives of all soldiers or, as i
in France and Germany, to the
wives who are in need because the
family's wage earner has been
called to the colors.
Furthermore, in each of these
countries except Blgium a maternity
benefit from government funds, pro
vided before the war to certain
mothers, has now been extended to
include all the wives of all en
listed men or al women who are re
ceiving separation allowances.
Dr. Meigs bases on the experience
of these countries the following!
practical war time suggestions for1
the United States:
The chief preventive measure for
protecting babies is to insure their
intelligent ca're and nursing by
healthy mothers in their own homes.
Nothing should be considered j
more important in war time thaa
BRITISH GOATS
NOT ADMITTED
ALASjAJRIDE
Washington, Sept. 21.—The pro
position to admit British, vessels to
Alaska coastwise trade recieved Its
deathblow today in the adoption by
the HouSq Merchant Marine Com
mittee, Of a substitute for the
Administration's bill embodying:
the views o£ the president with the
exception of the Alaska clause. Al
aska is excepted from the provisions
of ihe n«w bill which would au
thorize the shipping board to grant
licenses to foreign vessels for coast
wise trade other than Alaska for a
sueclfic time limitation. It is re
quired that a regular service be
maintained all the year round, and
the present steamers now operating
iu Alaska waters are suited for this«
service. This means that Alaska
ships may not bo commandeered.
