DECLINE IN BIRTH RATE.
Testimony Before Australian Com
mission on smallness of FAM
lilies Among All Glasses.

The commission appointed by the
New South Wales government to inquire
into the decline Of the birth rate reports
that the rate has fallen off 30 per cent. in
20 years, and calculates that it will take
46h years at the present progress to
double Australia's population Of $780,
900.
Incidentally the commission recon-
mends a vigorous policy of encouraging
immigration. 1t states that its findings
apply generally to the whole of the COM
monwealth and not merely to New South
Wales.
A Of expert evidence has been
collected to account for the smallness of
families among all classes. Reference
is also made to the extraordinary in
fantile mortality, which is encouraged
by the loose system of burying alleged
stillborn children.
Further, the commission declares that
grave disorders are sapping the vitals
Of the new population. A drastic alter
alton is recommended in certain brancScs
Of the criminal law. The concentration
Of population in the towns is regarded as
partly responsible for the diminished
birth rate.

Vice Admiral Togo. the naval hero
upon whom the eyes Of all Japan are now
centered and who is the idol Of his coun-
try, was educated in England, where he
still has many friends among the navy
contingent. He was born October IA.

Togo commanded the Naniwa, which
sank the troopship K~owshing, a steam
er belonging to the Indo-China Naviga-
ton company, which was carrying Chi
nese troops. The commander of the
K%owshing was Capt. Galsworthy, who
also received his training on the Wor-
cester. He would have been drowned
had not Togo sent a boat to hisrescue.
Togo is a Satsuma Samurai, a true
blooded japanese. and has all the ira
ditions Of those desperate fighters to up-
hold. but he is also a great lover Of his
family and home life. His countrymen
have fun confidence in his courage and
resoureefulness, especially since his
brilliant exploits at Port Arthur.
