RACE SUICIDE IN ENGLAND.
There Is Imminent Danger to the
Empire from Decreased
Birth Rate.

Englands birth rate Is declining. 1t
toucaed its highest point, since regis
tration began in 1888, in 1876. To-day
it is at it's lowest. The children Of the
most prolific mothers-those Of 1876
are the most unproductive mothers.
The reason assigned for the frightful
decline is the decay OF the maternal
instinct" Only Is per cent. as many
little ones see the light now, or remain
in it, as saw it 80 years ago. No one
factor, however, can account for the
entire falling off.
The fact is there are many causes
Notably among the most prominent Is
the advanced age at which persons
marry and the fact that great many
never marry. Previous to 1876 the mar
riage rate was l6 to 17R per 1000. To-
day II is 15h. The claim made for
years by leading economists that popu-
lation was supposed to vary with the
food supply is being doubted. 1t fails
to mold good in England, for at no
time in the past was food so cheap or
so abundant as it is to-day.
Possibly, says one writer, rent, the
rates and taxes have more to do with
the question than the price Of wheat. "
The fact of the matter is the question
is beyond the best men in the empire.
1t battles everybody from the humblest
to the highest. In the fight for first
place that is on, it means, or may
mean, a great deal to England whether
her birth rate is small or large. A
short crop of little ones in 1905 and In
each succeeding year means short
crop of men for the army, navy, mills,
shops, farms, ships, factories and colo

 Senator, John w Daniel In his brilI- liant introduction to this book tells us that General Sorrel has not attempted military history. He has simply re- lated the things he saw and which he was a part He says of his writings, "that they are rough jottings from memory without access to any data or books of reference and with little attempt to sequence What his book will therefore lack in the precision and detail as to military strategy or move ment will be compensated for by the naturainess, and freshness which are found in the free. picturesque. and sa- lient character of his work" There in a nut shell is just what the book is. Perhaps though, 1t might be we'll to dip into the book here and there. to see how we agree with Senator Daniels statement further on, that deem it fitting, however to say that in some respects I differ from General sorrefs
