STANDING ARMIES.

oeldisrs Don't Marry In Franos aoA Peo-
uissioa IL Accordingly Deessaseag.
The people Of Europe ere being
brought face TO face with the cost OF
great standing armies by . startling
revelation just made by the colleetors
of vital statistics. Tho census shows
that In 1890 the deaths in France ex-
ceeded the births by IS, 4s6. When the
announcement was first made the doc
tors declared that the phenomenon was
due to the rsvages of Ia grippe But
the San Francisco Examiner says IN
examination of the table showed that
the mortality had not been above the
average; it was the decrease in births
which had caused the discrepancy. The
returns show that there has been .
large diminution In the number Of mar
riages and q decrease Of $4,000 in the
number of births Is compared with tho
old average.
This is the fruit OF large standing
army. Soldiers cannot marry. They
would not If they could; and II they
could no general would be willing
to cucumber himself with an army
corps OF women. The manageable
males In France are reduced by
just the number Of men who are con-
scripted for military duty, and the birth
rate falls of in proportion What is true
of France is probably true of Germany
and Italy. In those countries vital sta
tistics are not collected as assiduously -
they are In France. II they were
they would probably show that
the population Of Germany isfreceding
even moro rapidly than that Of its
rival, for Germany has to endure .
heavy annual loss from emigration.
while France loses few of its people
from that cause.
1t thus seems that the financial en-
barrassment brought upon those two
countries by their war policy-which 70
veals itself In both by the labor troubles
that are constantly breaking out in
Paris and Berlin-is only one of the
evil consequence of their warlike atti-
tude. They are not only spending the
substance of their people and crushing
them beneath an intolerablc burden OF
taxation-the one to keep, the other to
regain the spoils Of war-but they are
stopping the fountain which Is the
source Of their strength and greatness
and enduring the penalty Of war with
out . chance Of winning its rewards.
