What NIalthus Forgot.
.(New London Day.>

something like century ayo a
 gentleman, named Thomas Robert
 Malthus propounded the theory that,
 since the reproduction of the human
 race progressed In geometrical ratio
 whereas the production of food could
 only be increased in arithmetical ratio,
 there was time coming when there
 would be too many people on this
 earth for the amount of food that the
 earth could be made to supply. MT.
 Malthus did q deal of worrying over
 this subject, and while he admitted
 that vice and misery could be depend ed on to ameliorate the fate of the
 race to some extent or at least defer
 to some extent the arrival of the day of starvation, he advised folks to quit marrying and having families.
 The Malthusian theory has ever since been more or less in the world s mind. It Is just now, however. becom- ing rather obvious that Thomas Rob- ert overlooked one element in the equation He forgot that we still had with us, and were likely to have with us for some time, certain proportion of influential persons who could be depended on to prevent the operation of his theory for considerable per- iod at least If he were alive today and could witness the result of the activities of handful of European statesmen he would quit worrying about this old earth becoming over populated. So long as we have indi- viduals who by q stroke of the pen can reduce the population of conti- nent by several million extraordinary deaths within a year we shall not have
 to stew much about having more mouths on earth than earth can feed.

FRYE BEFORE PRIZE COURT.

A new situation in the relations be- tween this country and Germany was developed with the sannouncementt that the American ship William P. Frye will be brought up beforeta a German prize court for consideration. On April 2s the United States. wrote to Germany asking that dispensation of the Frye case be made in this country as its owners and captain. in addition to the papers relative to the case were in this country. Ger many had, it was understood, admit ted that the United States was en- titled to damages on April when q note was sent to this country. and the action of the state department was based on this understanding. There was but little doubt that the damages would be decided here through the German embassy.
 Naturally enough 2 the announce ment that a prize court in Germany would take care of the ship has ETOuSeu much conjecture. Il ne SIdIe department has written for an explan- alton
 Has Germany, since the first of May changed it's attitude? Was it before that time. willing to allow the re- quest thatsthe United States govern ment made and is the latest proce- dure an indication of a different state of feeling in Germany. Is 1t a polite hint that the Germans do not in- tend to recognize our neutrality and that the treaties enacted between the countries are repudiated?
 It is said. however, that an official communication pointed out t! the boat would not be finally disposed of despite the action of prize court in declaring that the cargo was con- traband. 1t is thought in some quarters that the taking of the ship before a prize court is mere formal ity and that further adjustments will be made with this country. The state departments latest note requests our ambassador for information on this point and the mystery should be solved one way or another upon re- ceipts of an answer.
