I his map shows graphically the latest war developments in the Asiatic continent, where the Germans are finding new sources of supplies and perhaps of fighting men. Through the collapse of Russia the Kaiser has won a trade route (No.

1 on the map) from Odessa across the Black Sea to Batum, thence by railroad to Baku, thence across the Caspian Sea to Krasnovodsk, where there is a railroad runhing into Central Asia practically to the Chinese boundary. Another trade route, an all-land route (2) leads by railroad and caravan from Odessa north of the Black Sea and south of the Caspian through Persia and Afghanistan to the frontier of India. Along this route the Germans are stirring up the Persians and Afghans to hostility against the English. of these Asiatic tribes are Mohammedans like the Germans' allies, the Turks. These two routes into Asia make unnecessary the Kaiser's cherished "Berlin-to-Bagdad" route, which is stopped by the British forces (3) that took Bagdad and are holding of Mesopotamia.

This route is also threatened by the British force (4) marching north through Palestine. The German plans are aided by the revolt from Russia ('5) of the three provinces of Khiva, Bokhara and Khokand, which have set up governments called khanates, similar to those under which they operated before the Russian conquest. German agents also are stirring up (6) the Tartar tribes of the Chinese province of Eastern Turkestan. The greatest part of the Xrans-Siberian Railroad appears to be in the hands of the Bolsheviki (7), and at one point ihey have driven Russian regiments which have announced their loyalty to the old provisional government into Chinese territory (8) in Manchuria. The Japanese are holding allied stores of munitions at Vladivostok (9) to prevent their falling into the hands of the Bolsheviki.

In Western Siberia an independent government is reported to have been set up, announcing its recognition of Kerensky as premier. In the meantime German propagandists are hard at work in Arabia (II) trying to bring about overthrow of the new Arabian kingdom and a return to Turkish rule, and in India (12), where they are aiding Indian nationalist sentiment, to keep many British soldiers occupied in policing the native provinces. Vice President Encourages Child Welfare Movement (Marshall Declares Conservation of Child Life) Will Prove Important Factor in Winning the War. "I am somewhat surprised that I have to appear in Washingtf before a handful of people and tell them what I believe will win the war." With these words. Thomas R.

Marshall, Vice President of the Urtited States, at a meeting: in the District Building called by the women's committee of the District Council of Defense. started the ball rolling for the campaign of life saving among "preschool" children in the District for the coming year. The Children's Bureau of the Department of Labor will foster a national campaign to save 100,000 lives of children under he age of Ave years during the year beginning April 6. The District will have 251 lives to save for its quota. Winning the War.

"I have been told time and time again what would win the war," President Marshall stated. "I have listened to various statements. One statement was that we would have to raise an army and send it to France. While the raising and sending an army I to France is an essential thing to the winning of this war, it is not the only I necessary thing. "I have been told that by curtailing toy sugar allowances, investing I in War Savings Stamps, ing to the Y.

They are trying to apply this to statecraft. The world eats the lamb. That is the theory of the German government. "Survival of the Fittest. "If you are here to start saving the lives of children in America you are the ones who have a correct conception of the idea of the surI vlval of the fittest.

"It is not might, nor power, nor i force that constitutes the survival of the fittest, but it is love and peace and kindness which really constitutes the survival of the fittests in this world. "There is also a phsychological idea which must be driven home to the American people. You may help to do this.

Immediately after the speech of the I Vice President, jl resolution was i adopted calling for a nomination committee, to name a committee which would handle the executive work in the campaign for baby-life-1 saving.
