DECREASED BIRTH RATE
ALARMS GREAT BRITAIN.
(By Associated Press,

London, Oct. 14.-The recent returns
on the British infant birth and death
rate are characterized as distinctly
alarming by the London Lancet.
"The continued fall in the birth
rate, which has not reached the low
est level heretofore recorded, may
have many explanations" the journal
comments editorially, "but the factor
of the deliberate limitation of families,
whether from provident or selfish mo-
tives, can no longer be ignored"
The Lancet says that there has nev-
er been a time in England that en-
ployment has been so easy to obtain
and SO much money distributed among
the poor through good wages and wom-
ems separation allowances, yet these
very facts may have contributed to
the increased infant mortality rate
since they have given idle mothers
more money to spend on drink. Epi-
demic disease Is another factor in
raising the rate, owing to the death
of doctors and nurses now engaged in
military hospitals.
AS for the deliberate limitation of
births, not only the middle and upper
classes but the working class in late
years are held to blame. Even the
reports about the great numbers OF
war babies seem now to have been
largely baseless.
