Lendon, Nov. 17, 9.40 p. m. — Both le military and diplomatic situation the allies in the Balkans are dis- qtiteting, if not critical, a fact which, doubtless, led to the visit of the Brit- ish prime minister, Mr. Asquith, vid Lloyd George and A.

Serbian Army Being Cut off. ‘The main Serbian army, under Gen- eral Putnik, which is operating in the north, is now encompassed on ev- ery side but one, and, being cut off from the south by the Bulgarian ad- vance, bevond Tetovo, must depend upon the rough roads threugh Monte- negro and Albania for auy supplies from the sea. In the south the Serbian position ig almost as bad. The success of the Bulgarians flanking attack on Babu- na Pass and their advance from Veles have provented the hoped-for junc- tion of the Serbian and French forces. Oniy Two Lines of Retreat. This leayes the Serhians only two lines of retreat, ome into Albania, where they may be harassed by un- friendly. tribes ~the other- aeress the Greek border,. where they ‘are in danger of being disarmed and intern- ed.

ENDORSES DICK MILITARY LAW A, Small Standing Army, Supplemented by Citizen Soldiery. neisco, Nov. 17.—Unanimous ent of the Dick military law, certain provisions of which provide for the regulation and reorganization of the national guard, was given by the American Federation of Labor, at its 35th annual convention today. This action was taken in considering the report of the executive council on the iaw, the question having been referred to the committee on international re- lations at the Philadelphia convention. The executive council’'s report on the law was adopted in full: In part it says: - “Our American traditions are whol somely positive against the mainten- ance of a large standing army. We think it can be safely and emphatically stated that only a'small percentage of the American people favor the maintenance of a large standing army. ‘We express our belief in the need of a smal} standing army to be sup- plemented by a citizen soldiery, dem- ocratically organized and controlled, S0 as to prevent either the small standing army or the larger supple- ments and its units to be used for er by any special prt leged class, either at home or abroad.” CHILDREN EDUCATED A!O\(E Detrimental to Themselves and to So- ciety, Declares Dr. W.

Chicago, Nov. 17.—The Bollinger baby, a defective mite wh: mot.har. on professional advice, mld should not undergo an operation whldl probably would save its life, died at the German-American hospital here at midnight. Baptized Before Death. The child was baptized with the name of John, shortly ‘before its death. Mrs. Bollinger was not_informed of the death of the Dr. en deeming it advisable to keep the news from the mother until mopming. Prior to the death of the baby the subject of the propriety of the unpromising spark of life in the infant, that it might not grow up a burden to itself and a possible men- ace to society, was the subject of widespread discussion. Dr. H. J. Hai- senden. on whose advice the mother acted, was visited by many medical men lodny and telephone caills alter- nately accused and praised him. - He remained unaltered in his conviction that death was the greatest blessing wihch could be hoped for the infant. Physical Defects of the Baby. The principal physical deformities of the baby were the closure of the intestinal tract, paralysis of the nerves of the right side of the face, absence of the right ear, blindness of one eye and malformation of the shoulders. Dr. Haiselden, who officisted at the birth, noted the absence of a neck. The brain he found to be only slightly subnormal, but the cranial nerves were absent -or undeveloped. “If he grew up he would be a hope- less cripple and would suffer from ‘fits,”” said the doctor. Not Certain About Mind. Would his mind clear? Would his xul be normally alive?” he was ask- “That I do not know, but the chances are against it.” The questioner ecited the case Roswell Smith of Chicago, a MM ly harmless defective who, after reach- ing the adult stage, killed little Hazel Weinstock, for which he was hanged. Another visitor remarked that Fyo- dor Dostoievsky, born a edu:uwc_ who had epileptic fits, developed int a greumdhtandmofth-m est psychologists in A Moral Wrong to Allow It to Live. “It would be a moral physician continued, “to allow - this child to live. It seems to me. city which allows a Black rage a week, a thousand day and an automobile acci round of the clock is hardly in sition to criticize a man ‘who hol geath preferable to life to a defec- ve. Dr. John B. Murphy, forfner -presi- dent of the American Medical Alln- ciation and men and women, includi of clergymen, generally took Dr. Haiselden. But his critics were just as numerous. Nature Will Providé Best Remedy. Dr. Murphy said: “The baby's life is in the hands of a high.r power. Nature will provide the best remedy.” Dr. Rosalie M. Ladova commented: “A life is a life and I wish Dr. Haisel- den would !len out and let soméone else operate.” Clarence Darrow, the lnwyer known as a_humanitarian, remarked “Chloroform unfit children. Show them the same mercy that is shown beasts that are no longer fit to live.” Mother Still Favors Its oueh. Mrs. Anna Bollinger, ti mother, remained steadfast in her llef that death was best for the little one. ‘She has three healthy children and the plight of the condemned one is be- lieved to have been due to an attack of typhoid fever which the mother suffered recently. Authorities Took No Action. The authorities took no-action fur- ther than to determine that no death certificate should be issued until after an investigation by the coromer. » APPROVED BY NEW YORK MEDICO LEGAL SOCIETY Saved Child Misery and Society Re- sponsiblity for Its Care.
