CIVILIAN LOSSES

~ HE loss in population dur
W ing the war is not all
confined to deaths upon
the battlefields.
Compilation of the vital sta
tistics of English cities and
towns, as reported to the off
cial registry, shows in a startl-
ing extent the effect of the
stress of the war on the civilian
population. The table of the
number of births in the SO
largest municipalities in the
kingdom shows an annual de.
crease of 10000 in recorded
births and $4,000 in deaths. In
London alone, this indicates a
decrease in population of more
than $4,000 since the war be-
gan.
This is far from normal
and it is without negation as
cribed to the influence of the
war conditions. As the report
states it, tuberculosis, hear
disease and cereberal hemOrT,
hage, augmented by worry and
excitement, caused 400 deaths
in London during the week
ending Nov. 20-an increase
of more than 100 compared
with the same week of last
year.

be general throughout the
country, Judging by the fol.
lowing editorial from the Bos.
ton Post.
The growth of prosperous
conditions in our favored land
has been affirmed by many in
terests in special fields. EX-
ports have increased; manu-.
features have been stimulated
crops-by favor of the elemen-
tai powers-have surpassed
all records; complaint of the
unemployment of labor is not
heard; there still may be diff
ferences as to schedules of
wages, but the number of men
who are willing to work but
remain in enforced idleneSs is
small indeed.
Perhaps the use of the pos
tai service by our people may
be taken most generally as a
measure of activity, of wide
prosperity. The figures of
postal receipts for November,
as given out by the department
at Washington illustrate this
point. A year ago, the so
largest cities showed receipts
of S11,316,311 for the month /;
this year the aggregate for
November is $13,349,450.
These offices produce about
half the postal revenue. Among
them, Boston shows an increase
of S105,233 over November,
1914; New York shows more
than half a million.
The normal increase in de-
partment income through pop
ular use OF the postal service
is about 7 per cent annually.
Here in the Boston district, this
increment has been more than
doubled; in New York it has
been trebled, and Chicago and
Philadelphia are close at hand
in their figures.
AS a measurement of the
popular appreciation of the
fact that good times are here,
this statement of the work and
the income of the postoffice
department goes to confirm
the most optimistic view. There
has been steady improvement
during the past year in oul
business world. AS Postmast-
er Burleson says, Postal re-
ceipts accurately reflect bust.
