At present the malady is only affecting the babies of New York to any appreci able degree, but cases are being reported from other cit ies, and there is cause to warrant uneasiness on the part of the health officials. "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." THE LYNCHING INVESTIGATION. The Free Press regrets that circumstances have made it necessary for the hearings into the lynching of Joe Black to bo stopped before they were finally concluded. The investigation very naturally has aroused the most intense interest. The possibilities of sensations and the uncertainty as to what direction the "cat might jump" has kept the public on the qui vive; sentiment and bit ter feeling have been engendered and will be engendered until the hearing has been concluded, and if there are developments which involve men of more or less promi nence that feeling will be lasting. The Free Press hopes that Judge Etond and the other officers representing the State will arrange to continue and conclude the investigation at the earliest possible time, that the matter may be for once and all put in the past and Lenoir and Greene be spared the opprobrium incident to the undesirable brand of publicity. The people of Greene county and of Lenoir are, as a whole, law-abiding and peaceful citizens, and they are suffering because a few men, perhaps not exceeding a hundred, in a fit of passion took the law into their own hands and did that which was unlawful committed mur der. The good people of the two counties want no "whitewashing" process, but they are anxious for an The new game law in Virginia whereby 'coon hunters early conclusion of the hearings and final disposition of VISCOUNTESS SAYS BABIES ARE NOT SO WECOME AS AUTOS Villa like Mark Twain, denies the stories of his de mit.

June 19 (By Mail) Ba bies refuse to come into a world full of automobiles, for the simple reason that new automobiles usually are more welcome than new babies. Ba bies and autos don't go together. Muriel Viscountess Helmsley gives this explanation for the falling birth rate in England. Autos, according to the viscount ess, create an appetite for amuse ment and, as babies furni&h little amusement, in the twentieth century way of thinking, they are considered an interference with the pleasures that the automobile affords. Viscountess Helmsley says further: "The lamentable decline in the birth rate is due to the selfishness of women. They feel that with in creasing family ties they may be un able to maintain their social status, while at the same time they might And their outdoors activities crip pled.

The reason is cotton. Far more important, say the ex perts, than the encircling of the Tur-co-German divisions in the middle reaches of the Tigris is the fact that for months since American cotton has been denied to Germany the Bagdad region has been the chief source of cotton for German arsenals. Cotton from this district, probably the last avenue to Germany open to this vit al necessity f jr. Teutonic explosives nas been steadily crawling over the Bagdad railway since the British blockade observed American cotton as contraband. It is the opinion here that Germa ny will order the Turks to hold Bag dad at all costs aad probably will send large numbers of men to aid the Sultan's fighters. The point' is de clared, from the German standpoint, to be one of the most vital of th war. With the Tigris floods abated, an active and relentless Anglo-Russian campaign against ancient Bagdad is believed to have already commenced.
