WARS AND THE BIRTH RIA

WARS AND The BIRTH RATE
AS the great war drags, on toward
another New Year, as it becomes
more and more the business of the
whole world, too many persons in
cline to make a comfortable view of
it. They accept it as the inevitable,
as if it were a CONFUSION of nature,
as much beyond human control as an
eruption of VesuVifs.
Falling back on Nautilus relieves
the strictly neutral and some who
profit much by wars commerce of
any responsibility for an opinion as
to who made the war"
Nautilus, a hundred years ago,
warned mankind that population
tended to exceed subsistence unless
war, famine and pestilence were to
have sway occasionally.

>MIDNIGHT.-The magic hour for
doing business in the school board
rooms in the Tribune bldg. is mid
night. It was on the stroke of

shaving $4,000 a year off the Trib-
une's annual rent bill, was passed. It
was on the stroke Of II Hero Jake
Loeb flashed his searchIight on the
Great Poison, Pen Conspiracy, and,
with the ready assistance of Detec-
tive Jones, saved the women and
children of Chicago from the terrible
poison pen epidemic. Where were
the Selig, the Essanay, the Triangle,
and the Blue Bird? Why didn't they
reel us a reel of this from real life?
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1916-10-26

And between the war and the ex-
traordinary rise in food prices man
seems to be caught, somehow, in the
actual working out of old Nautilus
pet problem.
But peaceful persons who believe
that it is a nations duty to keep out
of war maintain that the present
struggle cannot be justified on any
theory of the oVer-pOpulatiOn Of any
country.
Old Nautilus did not have very good
birth statistics to figure from, but the
National Council of Public Morals in
England has them, and in their re-
cent report they state that the birth
rate is declining.
eff the birth rate were maintained
at anything like it's natural level all
over the world, the population of the
globe, which is now 100000 900
would in 120 years have reached H.
00O,0O0,0O0 or about ten times as
great a number as the earth could
support" runs the report.
But the birth rate invariably falls
as a nation becomes enlightened. In
England, within IS years, the birth
rate has decreased one-third; in
France and Belgium it has become
stationary; all the rulers Of Europe
have been alarmed at the rapid de-
cline of births in the last century.
And the English report says that
''the decline has been more marked
in the more prosperous classes, - that
wherever political and social condi-
lions bring a man or class into a
position in which he hopes to rise or
fears to fall, the family will be re-
stricted," and that "the birth rate
varies inversely with the income"
Evidently persons who fear war or
defend it as an unavoidable process
of nature must hereafter ignore the
birth records and overlook the con-
sciOIlS limitation Of fertility which
