GENERAL NEWS.

Child Life Must be Saved. At the Sanitary Inspectors' Confereros held at Cardif com- plaint was made of the decline of the birth rate, and it was said to! be of no use to preach to people about producing more babies, re they would not do so. Hence the necessity for sanitary science to eave child life,"

Kobe Man's Gallnat End,

In a letter to the mother of Captain Evan James Stanley Vaughan, formerly with Mewers. Dodwell and Co., Ltd., of this port, who was killed in action on August 18, his Commanding Offer wrote:-"He died leading his men into-sotion' in the most gallant way; he has been one of my most reliable company com menders.”— Koba Herald,

Will the German Navy Venture Out ? *Before winter comes on there. will be another terrife Daval engagement in the North Sea. The Germans will precipitats it." This statement was made early last mouth by a Washington diplomat representing a neutral nation which, with the aid of secret agente, has carefully follow- ed the events of the European War. The diplomat received the information from his government. "The_grest drive by the Anglo- French forces in France bar cased criticism in Berlin. The German cabinet wishes to streng- then the public confidence in Germany. I look for a repetition of the Jutland battle any time," he said.

Sun Yat-sen Accepts. Some time ago Dr. San was offered by the President the post of high political adviser to the Government with a salary of thres thousand dollars a month, bat Dr. Sun declined the offer. Sab. sequently a special delegate waR eent to Shangbai on the Preard- ent's behalf to urge the soceptance of this position upon Dr. Sun. Dr. Sun on various grounds again begged to be allowed to decline, and persisted in his refusal until it was explained that the salary was not to be drawn from public funds but from the President's privy purse. The far is now accepted, anys the Peking and Tientsin Times, and Dr. Sun's name is added to an already somewhat lengthy list of highly. paid political adviserebips held by distinguished revolutionaries.
