numbers from 100000 to 100000. The
war was therefore a biological necessity
Another distinguished German, Count Her
mann Keyserling, taking precisely this same
view OF the necessities of growing popula-
ton, has lately concluded: The war comes
as necessary effect, as mechanical in char
acter as a thunderstorm"
If we survey the belligerent nations IN the
war we may say that those which took the
initiative in drawing it on, or, at all events
were most prepared to welcome it, were Rus
STA. Austria, Germany and Serbia. We may
also note that these include nearly all the ma
tons in Europe with high birth rate we
NAV further note that they are all nations
which-putting aside their cultured SUBMITS
and taking them in the massacre among the
most backward in Europe; the fall in the birth
rate has not yet had time to permeate them.
On the other hand, of all the belligerent peo-
pies of to-day all indications point to the
French as the people most intolerant, silently
but deeply Of the war which they are so ABLY
and heroically waging. Yet the France OF the
present with the lowest birth rate and the
highest civilization, was century ago the
France of birth rate as high as that OF Ger-
many to-day, the most militarist and aggressive
of nations, perpetual menace to Europe. For
all those among US who have faith in civilza-
ton and humanity and are unable to believe
that war can ever be civilizing or humanizing
method of progress, it must be daily prayer
that the fall OF the birth rate may be fastened
1t seems too elementary point to insist on
vet the mists OF ignorance and prejudice are
so dense, the cataract OF false patriotism is so
thick, that for many even the most elementary
truths cannot be discerned. In most OF the
smaller nations, indeed, an intelligent view
prevails Their smallness has, on the one
hand, rendered them more open to interna-
tonal culture, and, on the other hand, enabled
them to outgrow the illusions OF militarism
There is higher standard of education among
them; their birth rates are low, and they &C
cept that fact as condition of progressive
civilization. That is the case in Switzerland,
as in Norway, and notably in Holland. 1t IS
not so in the larger nations. Here we con-
stantly find even in those lands where the bulk
of the population is civilized and reasonably
level-headed, small minority who publicly
tear their hair and rage at the steady decline
in the birth rate.
It is, of course, only the declining birth rate

Of their own country that they have IN view
for they are patriots" which means that inc
fall NJ m. birth rate in all other countries out
their own is a source OF much grathcatoh
"Woe 70 u.s." they exclaim in effect ii we
follow the example OF these wicked and de-
generate PEOPLES! Our nation needs men. We
have TO populate the earth and carry the
blessings of our civilized culture all over the
world. In exerting that high mission we can
not have too much cannon fodder IN defend
ing ourselves against the jealousy and agrees
sion of other nations. Let us promote parent
age by law; let US repress by law every lnf1u-
ence which may encourage a falling birth rate;
otherwise there is nothing lett to US but speeoy
national disaster, complete and irremediable'
This is not caricature, though these apos-
ties of race suicide may easily arouse smile
by the verbal ardor Of their provocative en-
ergv. But we have to recognize that IN Ger-
many for years past it has been dIthcult TO
take I'D a serious periodical without finding
some anxiously statistical article about the
falling birth rate and some wild recommends
tons for its arrest for it is the mllitaristc Ger
man who of all Europeans is most worried by
this fall. Indeed Germans often even refuse
to recognize it.
All progressive evolution may be regarded
az a mechanism for concentrating an ever
greater amount Of energy in the production OF
ever fewer and ever more splendid individuals

crude ideal of quantity by the higher ideal of
quality.
In human history these same tendencies
have continually been illustrated. The Greeks,
our pioneers in all insight and knowledge
grappled Gas Professor Myres has lately set
FORTH, and realized that they were graphing
with this same problem Even in the Minoan
age their population would appear to have
been full to OVERLOOKING; there were too
many people in the world" and to the old
Greeks the Trojan war was the earliest di-
vinely appointed remedy. Wars, fan1ines,
pestilcnces, colonization, universal infanticide
were the methods, voluntary and involuntary,
by which this excessive birth rate was COM
bated while the greatest Of Greek philoso-
piers Plato or an Aristotle, clearly saw
that regulated and limited birth rate, eu-
gcncally improved race, is the read to higher
civilization.
We may even see in Greek antiquity how
sudden rise in industrialism leads to a crowd
ed and fertile urban population, the extension
of slavery, and all the resultant evils. 1t was
a foretaste Of what was seen during the eigh-
teenth and nineteenth centuries, when sud
den industrial expansion led to an enormously
high birth rate servile urban proletariat
Chat very word indicates, as Roscher has
pointed out, that large family means in

and DEGRADATION from which are only now
emerging.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1915-09-12

AS we are now able to realize, the sudden
expansion OF the population accompanying the
industrial revolution was an abnormal and
from the point Of view OF society morDio
phenomenon. All the evidence goes to show
that previously the population tended to IN
crease very slowly, and social evolution was
thus able to take place equally and harmoni-
ously 1t is only gradually that the birth rate
has begun to right itself again. The move
mcnt. as is we'll known, began in France, al
ways the most advanced outpost OF European
civilization. 1t has now spread to England 10
Germany to all Europe, to the whole world,
indeed in so far as the world is in touch with
European civilization, and has long been we'll
marked in the United States.
When we realize this we are also enabled
to realize how futile. how misplaced and how
mischievous it is TO raise the cry Of race sui
eide" 1t is futile because no outcry can affect
a worldwide movement of civilization. 1t is
misplaced because the rise and fall OF the pop
ulation is not a matter of the birth rate alone,
but Of the birth rate combined with the death
rate and while we cannot expect to touch the
former. we can influence the latter. 1t is mis-
chievous because by fighting against ten
dency which is not only inevitable but alto
gether beneficial, we blind ourselves to the
advance of civilization and risk the msdirec-
ton of all our energies. How far this blind
ness may be carried we see in the false patri-
otism of those who in the decline OF the birth
rate fancy they see the ruin OF their own
particular country, oblivious OF the fact that
we are concerned with a phenomenon OF
worldwide extension.
The whole tendency of civilization is to re-
duce the birth rate, as Leroy Beaulieu con-
cludes in his comprehensive work on the pop
uaton question. We may go further, and
assert with the distinguished German econo-
mist Roscher, that the chief cause Of the SUI
periority of highly civilized state over lower
stages of civilization is precisely greater de-
gree of forethought and self-control in mar
riage and chld-bearng
Instead of talking about race suicide, we
should do we'll to observe at what appalling
rate, even yet, the population is increasing,
and we should note that it is everywhere the
poorest and most primitive countries, and in
every country Gas in Germany the poorest
regions which show the highest birth rate
On every hand, however, are hopeful signs
Thus, in Russia where very high birth rate

GREAT war. These barriers were thought TO
Ne Of various kinds even apart from the mere
~ sentimental and humanitarian developments
Of pacific feeling. They were especially OF an
economic kno and that on double basis
that of capital and that Of labor
It was believed. on the one hand, that the
international ramihcstions OF capital and the
complicated commercial and financial webs
which bind nations together would cause so
vivid realization of the disasters OF war as to
erect a wholesomely steadying effect when-
ever the danger of war doomed in sight On
the other hand, it was felt that the interna-
tiona unity Of interest among the workers.
the growth Of labors favorite doctrine that
there is no conflict between nations, but only
between classes, and even the actual interna-
tional organization and bonds OF the workers

These influences were real and important.
But. as we know. when the decisive moment

on board had no voice in determining the

we are often apt to overlook.
"A French gentleman we'll acquainted with
the constitution OF his country, wrote Ihick-
nesse in 1916, told me above eight years since
that France increased so rapidly in peace that
thew must necessarily have war every twelve
or fourteen wears to carry off the refuse OF
the people." To-day a German, DR.. Eduard
David. member OF the Reichstag and STU
dent of the population question, setting forth
the same great truth, states that 1t would have
been impossible for Germany to wage the pres
ent war if it had not been for the high Ger
man birth rate during the last halt century
And the impossibility of this war would, tor
DIR. David. have been indeed tragic.
A more distinguished social hygienlst, Pro-
lessor Max Won Gruber, of Munich-who took
leading part in organizing that marvellous
Exposition OF Hygiene at Dresden, which has
been Germany's greatest service to real CIV
