GERMANY’S DESTRUCTIVE SUBMARINE WARFARE.
' The truth concerning Germany’s submarine activity is at last
coming out. The demands of Lord Northcliffe, owner of The
Londo^ Timbs, insistently made, that the truth be told is bekring
fruit. |The situation is regarded as serious. Secretary of State
Lansing yesterday issued an official warning to this effect. “We
might^is well wake up to the fact and make up our grinds that the
situation is serious," declared Mr. Lansing.
Tpe Germans are estimated to have sunk 400,000 tons of
shipping in one week, and Secretary of the’ Interior Franklin K.
Lane |esterday made the statement that th» war would "have to
be carried to Germany if it was to*be kept from this side of the
Atlantic.”
The German admiralty declared at the beginning of the sub
marine campaign that the undersea warfare would be regarded a
success if 1,000,000 tons a month #ere destroyed. Secretary Lane
says that the rate of destruction will total 1,600,000 tons
month. •

Thessmtatcments are authenticated by Lord Eustace Percy,
who is a British expert. Lord Percy also declares the situation
is serious?.“tJentoany is sinking ships faster than the allies are

He stated that he could not give out the figures, but declared that

TheM>fctgyenth hour confessions have a tendency to create in
creased and sudden consternation among the people. There is
a feeling that :the facts are being kept concealed by the London
censors. no disposition to excite needless alarm, but
the public should.know—has a right to know—what is going on
in the ifar territory.- Lord -Northcliffe is to Be commended for
his dete^ninatldri'tjorhave the truth told.
The. United'Slates’lias had its “work cut out for it” and the
sooner it gets down to-*-systematic organization of its fighting
forces the better. . To be sure, it would be folly to rush troops un
trained in the pfe&j’nt methods of warfare to the battlefields of
Europe. {Such s step is not here advocated, but the work of scien
tific org£nizatfbiv>hoyld be speeded up. j ■

Where do you keep your children's
birth certificates? Or don’t you live
in one of those up-to-date communi
ties where a certified notice is sent
to the parents of every registered
baby? The Children’s*Bureau of the
United States Department of Labor,
which is conducting a special cam
paign for complete (registration of
births, urges the importance of se
curing such a notice from the regis
jtrar and of treasuring it for th<
'child’s use in later life.
A number of things come to one
in the normal processes of life for
which there is today a legal mini
mum age. Proof of age may be
needed in school, for working papers,
for voting, for marrying, for Tife in
surance, or for securing a civil-serv
ice position. Or again, one may
need to establish citizenship, or the
right of inheritance. In any one of
a dozen ways a birth ‘Certificate may
be a saving of trouble and expense;
it may even save the life of a neutral
citizen in time of war.
Only when parents have received
a ndtice of registration can they be
absolutely certain, without making
special inquiry, that their child’s
birth has been registered, ror even in
the “birth registration area’’—the
eleven states and the District of Co
lumbia which the census bureau ac
cepts as having fairly adequate rec
ords—there are some unregistered
babies.
Moreover, such a notice of regis
tration is an excellent device
making birth records more complete,
Mrs. S— receives a notice that
Mary’s birth has been registered and
Ihows it to Mrs. T.— who straight
way. wonders why the city did not
pay her the same courtesy when
Billy was born.
Five states—Maryland, Michigan,
New York, Virginia and Wisconsin—
and a few city health officers in
other states send notices to the par
ents. The notice is often an attrac
tive document; in some places it is
adorned with a picture of mother and
baby.
But if the nbtics^is to serve the
child as proof of ag^ in later years,
it must be a signed and certified
transcript of the facts entered on
the official record. In states whose
records follow the model form is
sued by the census bureau these
facts include the name of the chifd
and the date and place of birth; the
sex of the child; hthe name of the
father and the maiden name of moth
er with the birthplace, age, color,
and occupation of each; the number
of children borth to the mother and
the number living; the name ot the
professional rttendant; and the date
on which the birth was reported.
Georgia has not soch registration
laws. It is th# purpose of those who
are promoting the JBaby Week rin
Athens May 6th to- 1.1th to call the
attention of the ppblic to our lack
of laws.

rapid strides with results that ai
untold blessing to humanity. The
latest application of its untiring re
search is the recommendation tnat it
is as necessary to attend to internal
sanitation of the drainage system of
the human body as it is to the drains
of the house.
Those of us who are accustomed to
feel dull and heavy when we arise,
splitting headache, stuffy from a cold,
foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stom
ach, can, instead, feel as fresh as a
daisy by opening the sluices of the
system each mornin" and flushing out
the whole of the internal poisonous
stagnant matter.
Everyone, whether ailing, sick or
well, should, each morning before
breakfast, drink a glass of real hot
water with a teaspoonful of lime
stone phosphate in" It to wash from
the stomach, liver and bowels the pre
vious day’s indigestible waste, sour
bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleans
ing, sweetening and purifying the en
tire alimentary canal before putting
more food into the stomach. The
action of hot water and limestone
phosphate on an empty stomach is
wonderfully invigorating. It cleans
out all the sour fermentations, gases,
waste and acidity and gives one a
splendid appetite for breakfast. While
you are enjoying your breakfast the
phosphated hot water is quietly ex
tracting a large volume of water from
the blood and getting ready for a
thorough flushing . of all the inside
orguns.
The millions of people who are both
ered with constipation, bilious spells,
stomach trouble, rheumatic stiff
ness; others who have sallow skins,
blood disorders and sickly complex
ions are urged to get a quarter pound
of limestone phosphate from the
drug store. This will cost very little,
but is sufficient to make anyone 1
pronounced crank on the subject of
internal sanitation.
