NOTED INFANT
SAVER IRKING
IN LONDON NOW
LONDON.—The man reputed tc
j be the world’s greatest baby-savei
has come to London to save lives
jfor the British Empire and therebj
: replenish war’s ravages. He is Dr
, Truby King, founder of the Royal
:New Zealand Society for the Health
of Women and Children an organi
zation that has reduced the infantile
I death rate in New Zealand from
about 85 in 1000 to 48. The New
Zealand government has lent him
; a year to the mother country to
teach women here how to care for
their young.
“Every mother,” he says, “ought
to be told the full extent of mater
nal responsibility and privilege. The
) child may well ask of his mother—
when he comes to know what makes
or mars a human being more than
any other factor of life: ‘Did you
give me the milk which the good
God gave with every mother or did
you rob me of my birthright, ”
i It is not, according to Dr. King,
the poor and ignorant who fail mosl
in parental duties. He adds:
j “The burden of bearing children
is, for the most part, taken up b$
people who have the least means
and, in a large proportion of cases
they set an example as regards
natural nursing and personal cars
—in two words, complete mother
■ hood—which is so often shirked bj
those of ample means and leisure
Civilized nations are recruiting
their populations from parents who
relatively speaking, have failed ir
the battle of life from one cause
or another, and not from those wh<
have succeeded.”

> Str. Washburn Is Repaired and In
Service; Was Sunk Recently
Below Russian Mission.
The A. Y. N. company’s steamer
M. L. Washburn, which is employed
on the run between Holy Cross and
Dikeman on the Iditarod river, was
sunk about the 13th of last month
at a point on the Yukon river a
; little distance below the Russian
t mission. She was raised, docked
i repaired and resumed service in the
I j remarkably short space of twelve
days.
The Washbv.’n was proceeding
, down the Yukon river from Holy
, Cross to meet the steamer Sarah,
( which had a bargeload of freight
for the Iditarod country, and when
, a short distance below Russian Mis
sion she struck a submerged snag
. | and sank- A small boat was imme
, diately despatched to the wireless
, station at Marshal and the officials
of the company were apprised of the
accident.
The steamers Herman and Seattle
No. 3 were immediately despatched1
from St. Michael to the scene of the
accident. On arrival they easily
raised the sunken Washburn and
towed her to dry dock at St. Michael
where the necessary repairs were
taken in hand immediately.
The Washburn was released from
the dry dock on the 25th of August
and sailed the same day with the
barge McNab in tow to resume her
regular run on the Innoko and the.
Iditarod rivers.
During the period of repairs the
steamer Relance took up the run
and the Holy Cross-Dikeman service
was not disorganized in any way. !

Ed Gooch, whose arrest by the
authorities at Seattle was reported
yesterday, was released immediately
on receipt of a wire from the Fair
banks local board, establishing his
status.
Shortly before he went Outside,
Ed Gooch applied to the Fairbanks
local board for a clearance which
would enable him to enlist as soon
as he arrived in the States, and was
told that he could do so without
any written permission from the
board, and in order to avail himself
of the privilege of selecting the
branch of the service he would pre
fer to serve the country in, he took
ship for the States, paying his own
way out.
Shortly after his departure, the
new law, requiring all registrants
to have on their persons papers
showing their status under the select
ive service regulations went into
effect; and, as he had no such
papers to show, was detained on
arrival at Seattle and held pending
i receipt of a clearance from the;
Fairbanks local board.
Fred Carter and R. E. Cooley
left today for the States via the
Broad Pass trail.
