The correspondent of The Associat ed Press learns that Russia wished to have Russian warships participate with those of Japan and Great Britain in the bombardment of the German fortress of Tsing-tau, and to that end opened negotiations with Japan for the return of some of her old ships. For some reason or other the negotia tions fell through at the time, pre sumably over the question of price, but they were reopened a few weeks ago, and at the present writing there is every prospect that several ships, probably three, will be turned over to Russia for a consideration. Japan secured possession of about fourteen Russian warships as a result of the Russo-Japanese war. The ves sels mentioned as likely to be trans ferred include the cruiser Soya, for merly the Varyag, the battleship Tan go, formerly the Russian warship Pol tava, and the Sagami, which during. by a squadron under Prince Higashi Fushimi off Cape Soya in the north ern coast of Hokkaido.

Note# Baby Week A Baby Week is a campaign with a twofold purpose: (1) To give the mothers and fathers of a community the oportunity of learning the most important facts with regard to the care of the baby. (2) To bring home to the community a knowledge of the facts regarding the deaths of its babies and a realization of the ways in which it must protect them. A Baby Week should be a commun ity campaign each person in the com munity should feel that he or she has a part in it. A Baby Week should not be a tem porary flurry and excitement, but should lead to permanent work for the babies. Chicago held the first Baby Week, April 19 to 25, 1914 New York City the second, June 20 to 26, 1914. This year they have been following by Pittsburgh, Grand Rapids. Detroit, Staten Island, Yonkers, Indianapolis, Topeka, and many other cities. Letter to Fathers (Adapted from message sent out during the Pittsburgh Baby Week.) Tradition has, in the past, left all the care of the baby to the mother. The conditions of our present-day so ciety require that, in addition to pro viding food, shelter, and other ma terial things, the father must share with the mother the responsibility for health of his baby. The following are some of the things that he should understand or do: He should understand the impor tance of prospective mothers having good care ana advice at as early a period as possible so as to insure the health of the mother and protect the coming baby. He should see that the mother has adequate care during and after the He should know the importance of the mother nursing her baby. Breast fed babies have much greater chance of living and becoming strong, healthy children than hnve bottle-'""'' babies. This is so important that anything that would alter or lessen the mother's milk supply, such as overwork, excitement, shock, or wor ry. should be avoided. If, after every effort is made, the mother's milk suddIv is not adequate, the father should know that clean, fresh cows' milk is the best substitute •_ ^.igpstivp 'listnrhancp brought on chiefly by faulty feeding. He should know that soothing sirups are dangerous, that_ pacifiers are both needless and injurious, that the baby needs rest and regular hours of sleeping, and should not be kept up late nor handled too much. He should know the importance of good surroundings to the baby. The baby needs fresh air and sunlight as much as any plant.

Some of these things are better industrial conditions, better housing, improved municipal sanitation, improved milk supply, milk stations, and# visiting nurses, settlements, nurseries, and other agencies for the protection and conservation of infant life.
