PHYSICAL BLIGHT AS
FRUIT OF THE WAR
Offspring Of Survivors to Be
Weak and Crippled.

Washington.-0ver Europe of the fu-
tory rests. declare medical men and
scientists, will sweep the devastating
hand of physical blight. Children with
crippled forms, weak bodies and un-
balanced minds will I'LL the cradles of
every nation now at war, offspring OF
the men made unfit for parentage by
the rigors OF the great conflict.
DR.. Ales Hrdlicka, curator OF the Ma
tional museum and noted anthropol
ogist, Is one OF the savants who has
studied the effect of Europes conflict
upon the children yet to be born. To
him the present war presents vastly
different aspect with regard to future
generations than any conflict has ever
presented before.
Since men OF science first began TO
study the effect OF wars upon the hu-
man races II has been admitted that
whenever the best physical examples
OF a nation went to war to be destroyed
the physical manhood OF that nation
suffered. Then ii was discovered that
for every man killed or fatally wound
ed four died OF disease. AS warfare
approached its present modern charac-
ter the number OF killed and wounded
in each engagement decreased. while
the number who died from natural
causes" increased. Army physicians
say that the percentage OF mortality
from wounds in the present conflict is
likely to be far less than 1t has been in
the wars Of the past.
But the scientists-both medical men
and anthropologists-add to that state
ment their belief that the loss OF the
men killed in the war will not detract
from the physical welfare OF Europe's
future sons one-hundredth part as
much as will the men who return un'
wounded from the field. because war Ii
no longer primarily an annihilator OF
life. so far as the calculations Of science
are concerned. but a shatterer OF nerv
Gus constitutions creator OF neuras
thenic wrecks. weakened mentalities
and sapped vitalities.

Emden was on Aug. g, when she was
said TO have been sunk In action with
the Russian cruiser Askold Off Weihai

later, when word was received that
the Emden had sunk the steamship

steaming into the bay OF Bengal five
days later. had sent two more British
vessels to the bottom. Within three

Then she renewed her activity in the
vicinity Of Rangoon. where more Brit
