ON TO THE END. | ERSISTENT reports of Villa's denth are not to be wondered at in view of earlier stories of his serious wounds and painful flight across the mountains. It is, of course, possible that he died days ago and that his followers are hastening to cover, only too glad to have the chase continue in one direction, since it gives them) the better chance to ecatter and find friends. | On the other hand, the fact that hints of the bandit’s death ema-| nate from Carranza’s headquarters at Queretaro does not much en-| courage belief in the event. The desire in Mexican military circles) to see the American troops get out of the country has been s0 little! concealed of Inte that almost any rumor might be circulated if there! were thought to be a chance that it would put an end to the advance} of Gen. Pershing’s men. | Experience in Mexico has taught us that seeing is believing. With 12,000 United States troops already over the border, the head of the expedition pushed 400 miles into Mexican territory, and a border patrol of 18,000 awaiting developments, it does not seem probable that this Government will change its purpose because Carranza’s gen-| erals are “informed” that Villa is dead. | We have yet to know all the hardships Gen. Perehing’s troopers have suffered in their 400 mile dash across Mexican mountain and desert. But we can be sure it has been march to try the endurance of the stoutest. No American wants to see auch good work wasted. Tt must still be Villa alive—or dead beyond all doubt. ——<—$_-$4 = —_—_——— For forty-nine days the battle of Verdun has been com! to e climax. —__-+=__—_—_——- CHILD WELFARE WINS. ISENTANGLED from the red tape of bureaucratic charity administration in this city the Widows’ Pension law will now have a chance to fulfil the purposes for which it was enacted. Despite the opposition of the Charity ‘Trust and ite friends at Albany, the Senate followed the example of the Assembly and passed the Hill-McCue amendment bill which frees the Child Welfare Board | from the control of the city Department of Charities in the work of providing practical aid for widows. The Governor is ready to sign the bill. To the efforts of The Evening World, and especially to those of | a member of its staff, Miss Sophie Irene Loeb, was mainly due the, passage of the Widows’ Pension act and of the amendment which, now releases it from the chill, paralyzing grip of organized charity. | Widows’ pensions were not meant to be charity. Their purpose | is part economic, part civic. For leas money than it costa to maintain dependent children in inetitutions the State can help their mothers to Dring them up at home. And the State thereby gets better citizens into the bargain. This is not charity, but wise public policy and sound business. Henceforth the work should go forward without hindrance.
