The message which was sent out May i) and which was given out by the. state department without comment, said: "According to information from Christiana, Norwegians recently .arrived from America say that grave cases of insubordination occur daily in American training camps. At first breaches of discipline were punished by death, hut this was stopped owintr to the number of eases. In a particularly flagrant instance, all the soldiers in a camp acted collectively and obtained not only immunity for the mutineers but punishment for all officers. Furthermore, much damage to works and material is being done." Genyian wireless messages are sent out for circhlation in neutral countries, and for the information of German diplomatic representatives abroad. TH? HOMtV ' Chair. Tread' ?

Forty per cent fewer l- births occurred in 1916 than in 19111. These figures are compared with a do _ cr.ease of 10 per cent in the birth rate in England and Wales. The infantile death rate in Germany has been kept we)! down, but, nevertheless, the report shows, is .'>0 per cent higher than in England and Wales. This fact has led to a large extension of infant welfare work in Germany, in which voluntary societi< s have played an active part, but tlm movement is becoming increasingly | evident in the control of municipal'- J t ics. The infant mortality rate in Gor- j many in 19HI, it >s shown, was 151 per thousand, as compared with 108 in England and Wales. The rates in 1912 for Prussia and Bavaria were, respectively, 164, 170 and ism per thousand. An abnormal | increase of infant mortality during the first months of the war is shown by the fact that in Prussia in the third quarter of 1914, the rate rose from 124 to 143; in Saxony, from 140 to 242, and in Bavaria from 170 to 239. The records in England and Wales do not show any abnormal mor tality among infants during the early months of the war. o T. J.
