Extent of the Evil in England Exag- gerated, London Daily News. At the present stage of the discus- sions in progress on the war baby problem there is a distinct danger of precipitate action being taken or elaborate machinery improvised to deal with an evil the magnitude of which is as yet a matter only of very fallible conjecture. Some of the expected here, 200 among a single doctor's patients there, 50 on one district nurse's list elsewhere---may be accurate, but I ami bound to say that a day of independent investi- gation in a locality where the evil might be expected and has been free- ly stated to be acute, has imbued me with considerable scepticism.

There is no peed to identify it, though in point of fact its record does it nothing but eredit. It is a. provincial town of some 40,000 inhabitants, on which on an average 20,000 troops--the number sometimes rose and some. times fell---have been billeted since the middle of August. In every re- spect it is typical of a score of simi- lar towns, except that perhaps un- usual public spirit has been shown in providing recreation and enter- tainment for the troops. In every way, therefore, it is fair ground for testing the veracity of on a difficult subject was to take one | rumor on the war baby question, and I think I may reasonably claim that my inquiries have been such as to lend some weight to the conclusions to which they have led I have dis- { cussed the matter with the Mayor, | the Inspector of Police, the chief doe- i tors of the town, the principal min. | isters, Anglican and Free Church, | the local chief of the Salvation Army, | the matron of a large rescue home, jand an experienced local journalist | --and the tenor of their statements figures freely quoted---2,000 babies | is, all things considered, astonishing.
