PRACTICAL PLAN
TO INVESTIGATE
THE BIRTH RATE
Commission of Experts to
Probe Into Conditions
Which Have Caused Fall
ing Off in Population.
Grand Duchess Olga.

Paris, Nov. 30-At last the gov
eminent appears to have hit upon a
practical plan for the investigation OF
the causes for the declining birth
rate. 1t is hoped that the remedy also
will be found.
For years thinking Frenchmen have
been distressed at what has come to be
described as the depopulation of
France, but all attempts to arrest the
decrease have been half-hearted and
have resulted in measures that proved
ineffective. Mr. Kiotz, the minister Of
finance. who worked out the present
plan. says that the problem is one of
national defense.
1t is now proposed to establish. I'M
der the craftsmanship OF the minister
of finance, commission composed of
experts In each branch OF the subject,
who will be able to deal effectively
with the social, military. legal and SCI
entific sides of the question. The COM
mission will be divided into five COM
mittees. The first will take up the adj
ministrative and legal side and inquire
into naturalization and marriage laws
and the question of infanticide and
kindred evils.
The second committee will consider
the military aspect of the subject. in
+, Guiding the effect OF the birth rate on
recruiting and army organization. The
i third will study infantile mortality.
hygiene, intemperance. and tuberculosis,
together with questions of assistance
| to mothers AMI of the proper education
of the sexes. The fourth will study
how best to encourage the growth OF
! large families and how to assist those
which have become too large for the
] financial means of the parents.

PLAN EXTENSION OF
UNIVERSITIES WORK

London, Nov. 30.-The reorganization
of the University of London, which will
take place when new site Is selected
for the university buildings, will wit
ness hot fight between the interests
which wish to abolish the external
classes Of the university and those who
want to keep intact the only means In
England whereby the poor may obtain
the rudiments Of collegiate education.
The external system of the University
Of London Is an application on a larger
and more practical scale of the system
OF university extension lectures pre-
vailing in America. Many of those
courses are given to different parts Of
London at night and facilities are pro-
vided for students to do independent
work away from the regular headouar-
tiers of the university. The continu-
ance Of this external side Of the uni
versity has been strongly condemned
by certain influential members Of the
commissioners OF the institution. but
the door which has been invitingly held
open to so many poor students will moi
be closed without q strenuous protest
from thousands OF the sons and daugh-
tiers of the university.

country on his way home from some
irrigation works in Asia Minor. He
stopped near Luxor and after prospect

covered artesian wafer. Shortly after
this discovery, according to his story, a
German commercial traveller wandered
into his camp and the lonely English
man in the pleasure of seeing a white
man forgot his traditional aloofness and
told him all about the possibilities of
the country due to the discovery of
artesian water. The German went on
his way and the engineer fingered to
search for the wonderful ancient pot
terry sometimes found In the region. In
six months the German was back with
the necessary equipment and machin-

years the desert was a garden, paying
20 per cent dividends to it's German
