The use Of Sage and Sulphur for re-

Whenever her hair fell out or took Oh

decrease will go on until we look deep
er than the war for its causes.
That it has not been greater is due
solely to an even larger decrease in
the death rate, so that the situation
has looked roster than it actually is.
People have been too prone to look at
the net increase in population, which
has been stationary at 100000 a year,
and not at the Russian increase of
14,000,000 annually.
1T is in that direction that the dan
ger. lies. We are too closely approx
imating France, standing still while
our Slav neighbor grows by leaps and
bounds. France, in my opinion, is
slowly but surely sinking back to d
position something like Spain, a sec
ond rate power. We do not want to
do the same thing.
THE outcome of the war naturally
can have a far-reaching effect on the
whole problem. II we were conceiv
ably to lose, there is no doubt that the
economic results would make it diff
cult to carry out our plans. If, on the
other hand, we win, as of course be-
lieve we shall, the plans are infinitely
easier Of execution.
There is to be considered on one
side that we probably shall get an in
demnity which will do much to re-
lieve any possible economic stress. On
the other, there is the possibility that
we shall have new territory with its
fertile population to aid in building
up that of the empire as whole"
