King Albert Plans .
Alliance of Small
States of Europe
BRUSSELS, Aug. l.-KIng Albert, dur
ing his recent visit to Switzerland, ap
pears to have found sympathetlo recaption
of his Idea for an economic and political
alliance among the am nil states' of west
ern Europe. He li to enthusiastic over
the matter that he le actively at work In
furtherance of the Idea and hopes that
eventually Holland, Denmark, wltser
land, Luxembourg, Sweden and Norway
may be brought together with Belgium
in the alliance.
It Is understood that King Albert sees
no practlcab'llty In the suggestion of a
defensive alliance aloag military lines, as
the countries concerned are widely sepa
rated geographlclly and weak in military
forces even when taken collectively. But
he believes that some understanding for
common commercial and conomla alms
would be of advantage to offset the com
merclal aggression practiced by some of
the great powers.
The course which Germany has taken
In cutting off Holland from much of the
trade of eastern Europe by the new canal
connecting Emrten with the Rhine is
taken as one instance of such economic
pressure. Swltserland Is said to suffer
particularly under the shadow of German
business rivalry.
King Albert also recently approached
the government of Luxembourg with his
proposal, but he has been Informed that
as the principality la a member of the
German Customs union it is not free to
enter Into any economic arrangement with
other countries.

BETTER DEADTHEORY WRONG
Extreme School of Eugeniits At
UeXed by Dr. Suleeby.
BASED ON WSONQ PREMISE
Taklaac ChlMrea from Vaaral
Eavlranmeat la Not Iaterferia
wit a Nataral Selec
tion. ' LIVERPOOIj, Au. l.-The "better
dead," or extreme school of euiten'sts
has been sharply attacked at a national
"welfare ot infancy" meeting her by
Dr. C. W. daleeby, a pupil of Francis
Oalton, the founder ot eugenics. While
heredity does not bear on the problems
of health, vitality and longevity, It Is
not, said the Qoctor, all essential and
all Important. Environment is quite as
Important. He accused those of the
"better dead" school of blocking at
tempts to Improve the conditions of
human life on the ground that such at
tempts Interfered with natural selection.
Natare and Nurture.
In fighting against the cauaea of In
fant mortality, Dr. Paleeby' denied that
natural selection was being Interfered
with.
j "Conditions initiated In the slums and
I pulillo houses are not natural," ha said.
I "They are hideously unnatural."
i Eugenlsta ot the extreme school were
accused of forgetting the Importance ot
! nurture before birth, of prenatal Influ
(ences due to environment. They assumed
that It was simply a question of heredity
from birth, when it has been proved
that Infections and the forces ot malnu
trition have been playing on the child
for months before birth. The nurture ot
tho mother Is therefore just as Important
as if the child had been tod on gin and
pickles after birth.
I.Ira, Despite Bnvlroameat.
"There are no statistics and no argu
ments," declared the speaker, "as re
gard the relative Importance of nature
and nurture, which seems to recognise
the' fact that everyone of us was alive,
or should have been alive, at least nine
months before we were born, and that
nurture was playing upon heredity dur
ing the whole of that period with a de
gree of power which It will never be able
to' display at a later period."
Alcohol could be found In a baby born
of a tippling mother, the speaker con
tinued, but this was not heredity; It was
racial poison working out as ante-natal
malnutrition. It therefore followed that
l the nurture of the future patent was es
sential for real eugenics.
Dr. Raloeby, after crltlelng the biolo
gists who spoke without any practical
experience with either children or
mothers, laid down the following pro
posals for the Improvement of ' Infant
life:
1. All motherhood to be regarded as a
first charge on the resources ot a nation.
2. Government authority to look after
maternity,
II. The handing . over of alt ' maternity
runes, ressrdlrss of weslth or social con
ditions, to the puhllo health authority.
4. The establishment of maternity cen
ters, both prenatal and postnatal,
throughout the country.
"All this." Dr. Balecby concluded. "Is
fundamental eugenics, and Is far mora
easily feasible than any question . of
breeding for genius or of deciding who
shall marry whom and who shall not
marry whom."

Training for Hard
Antarctio Expedition
IXJNDON, Aug. 1 Sir Ernest Bhackle-
ton and the men who are to accompany
him' on his south polar trip have under
gone a regular course of training to pre
pare them for the long and hard walk
across thtr AritniTtia continent. .
Blr Gmest says: "One's only chance la
to ha hard and springy. I begin every
day by boxing with one of the members
of the expedition. We go at each other
hard, and a shower bath after this ex
ercise sends ma to my office feeling full
ot energy.
"The most Important thing. I believe.
Is to eat and drink wisely.- I have bean
'on the water wagon' for months, and I
shall not touch alcohol again until I coma
back from the Antarctic. When I go out
to lunch or dinner I have to sit half the
time watching other people eat. I do not
follow any regular diet Of course, I
avoid rich foods which tax the digestive
powers,- but otherwise I aat whatever
eomes along, my only rule being 14 eat
very little.

PROPOSE MONUMENT
FOR FIRST AVIATOR
PARIS, Aug. 1. Tee proposal to erect
a monument to aviation's first martyr,
the legendary Icarus, at Candla, on ' the
Island of Crete, has been revived. The
Idea first originated with Henry Deutsch,
the eminent pioneer of aviation In France,
after a visit to Greeoe three, years ,sgo.
The spot chosen Is above the city, of
Candia, between the two promltorles
which dominate Kuossos.
There, . according to the legend, stood
the labyrinth where Daedalus and Icaru
were Imprisoned by Minos, the tyrsnt of
Crete, and visitors are shown the work
shop In which the two captives, to es
cape, mad the first flying mschlns of
birds' wings stuck together with wax.
Now that Crete "has become sgaln Oreek
territory nothing atands in the way of
the realisation ot this scheme, ' which
would commemorate at once one of the
greatest victories of modern science end
one ot the most graceful fables of an
cient mythology.
An air race from Paris to Candia la be
ing considered as a fitting complement of
the Inauguration ceremonies.
FRANCE WILL MAKE NO ;
. MORE COPPER COINS
PARIS, Aug. 1. The first or the new
perforated nickel coins have Just been
struck at the Paris mint, under the super
vision of the designer, Henri LJndauer,
and from now on no more copper money,
will be minted. The pausing of the tradl-'
tlonal sou will, however, be slow.: The
new nickels will not be placed Into circu
lation for seversl months, and then only
In -small quantities to replace the copper
coins, which will be gradually withdrawn.
Newspaper humorists are deriving much
fun out of the hole. In the middle of the
new 5-centlme pieces. It is asked whether
they will be worn on a string round- tho
neck like ' Chinese "cssh." and. if so,
whether a thoughtful government will
provide the necesssry rtrlng.
