WAR HAS NOT AFFECTED
GERMAN WAR BABIES
AMSTERDAM—Rumors that Ger
man babies born in the fourth year
, of the war were below normal de
velopment owing to the underfeed
ing of the parents, are contradicted
, by Professor Philip Schmidt, of Tu

WHEAT CAMPAIGN
AT SALT LAKE;
SALT LAKE CITY—It was ow-j
ing to the forethought and energy j
of a woman that the United States j
Food Administration was enabled to j
obtain recently 175,000 bushels of
wheat from the Relief Society of the
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter!
Day Saints, (Mormons). This store |
of grain had been saved up against i
a possible famine and was made
available to the government in a
time of great need.
The woman who was chiefly in
strumental in saving up the wheat
is Mrs. Emmeline B. Wells, president
of the church relief society. For,
42 years she carried out the wishes i
of Brigham Young in the storing j
of the grain.
Young, then president of the Mor-'
mon church, taught her that some |
day there would be a famine and hej
urged her to advocate saving grain. I
• Through the medium of a paper
known as the “Woman's Exponent,"
which Mrs. Wells edited for years,
she preached the storing of grain I
by the women of the church relief j
! societies. The original work began!
I through the gleaning of the wheat i
fields and grew annually until inj
>’ later years, funds of the society
were invested in wheat,, which was j
! sold when prices were high, the
money being re-invested when the j
prices were low. Mrs. Wells traveled
j to every place in the West where j
i members of the Mormon church had;
j colonized, preaching the storing of j
! grain.
With the advance in transporta
tion methods endeavors were made I
to stop the practice, but Mrs. Wells i
has insisted that the work be con-!
tinued. The granaries of the relief i
society are again being filled at the!
suggestion of Mrs. Wells, who is;
still president of the relief society;
of the church, which numbers 48,000
members.
Mrs. Wells is in her ninety-first
year. She is as active as a woman
of 48. She has grandsons and great
grandsons serving with the Ameri
can forces 'abroad and one of her
ambitions today is to fly in an air
plane.
COUNCIL RAILROAD
NOW TAKEN UP
W. J. Rowe and crew of men j
nave returned to Nome from Sol- j
omon. were the last of the Solomon j
river railroad, the formerly much j
advertised Council and Solomon j
1 River Railroad was pulled up and j
the whole stock of rails made readv i
' ' I
for shipment. The passing of the [
Solomon road is another chapter in j
the decline and fall of gold mining |
in the Seward Peninsula placer de
posits. This road was built Jy r.
company heavily capitalized and it
was planned to reach Council via
Solomon river and Casa de Paga. [
■ Solomon was to be the great port
for the interior and docks and whar
ves and warehouses were construct
ed. Before many miles of road
.were constructed a roundhouse and
machine shop were erected, the rail- .
road established a new town and;
called it Dickson. The road was!
constructed up Solomon river past!
East Fork and into Casa where it
stopped. The winter following its
completion saw a panic and money j
began to get shy and financial diffi-'
eulties quickly overtook the com-1
pany. When the winter and the
spring break-up followed, bridges
suffered collapse, washouts were
frequent and the road operated no
farther than East Fork and Big
Hurrah. Later operation practically
ceased dog and horse teams super
seding the locomotive, and Except
for the annual arrival of Receiver
and Manager Cedes, people forgot
all about the existence of the only
standard guage road on Seward
Peninsula. Hie Jacet— all piled up
for junk and awaiting shipment to
the Outside.
Advancement of her sex has al
ways been a favorite field in the
activities of Mrs. Wells. She was
an associate of Susan B. Anthony
In 1899 she represented Utah women
at the Woman’s International Coun
cil and Congress in London
GROWING WEARY
OF HUN PEACE
PARIS.—There is a steadily grow- [
ing belief in Rumania that if the j
German domination and oppression,
continued, there m:|y be an uprising:
among the people, particularly if
the food and clothing famine is
not relieved. There are many who
feel, says a prominent Rumanian
who has just returned here from
Jassy, that it may not be impossible
that the Rumanian army will again
take up arms against the Central
Powers. This conviction, said he, is]
the stronger since the recent de-j
cisive victories of the Allies on the
Western front.
Already there is grave unrest!
among the peasants, who are forced
by the German agents to work long
and laboriously in farm and factory,
with scarcely sufficient wages to
buy their daily bread. The Ger
mans are thoroughly disliked by all
from the royal family down to the]
humblest peasant. i
The belief that the Rumanian
army may fight again prevails not
only among the people, but in mili
tary circles. Officers are confident
that, with America’s legions now par
ticipating in the struggle on the
Western front and their number
steadily increasing, the Central
Powers will be compelled to divert
all their troops from other fronts
to the field of operations in France
in order to check the fast-moving
Allies. This would be an opportune
moment, these observers believe, for
Rumania to throw off the yoke of
Germany and re-establish its army
in the field as an aid of the Allies.
