with emphasis that not only has the posi-
ton Of women in the war countries al

will have TO be taken in this connection
toward making if possible to restock the
depleted population without involving
issues Of WOwan's honor.

is obvious. however, that the domestic
problem of the world is upset How to
restOCk Europe; how to meet the problem
of the frightful decrease in the birth rate
how much elasticity there is to be put
into the laws of PgitimaCy-these are
the questions which are facing MS today.
THE prepOnderance OF women in Eng
land IT any rate, has before now come up
for d. cussiOn by political economists and
psychologists. The sO-called 'superfiuOus'
women have forced themelves into public
notice by the attitude adopted by them
on the suffrage question. Utterly mis-
taken aS their methods have been. they
have cert talnly shown themselves to he
full OF courage, endurance and fighting
power. Their superabundant energy has
bubbled over and made them a nuisance
to authorities. The 'superRuous' women
have sought commercial employment and
been given very generally the cold
shoulder They have fought an uphill
tight Now they are peculiarly in de-
mand, and we are about to ask of them
new favor We are about to ask of
them that they enlist their gift of mother
hood in the service of the state
"EthIcally men have no right to ask
such favor; nationally they have the
right The earth must be repeopled; it
is a patriotic duty of woman to respond

it, Marriage is the only reasonable con-
diuon, and the fam.y Is tine most sacred
institution But it is obvious that, with
out some provision, life cannot run along
during this abnormal period as it would
during periods Of peace
"Broadminded English churchmen. Of
whom there are greater number than is
generally supposed, are seriously discuss
ing the question of the birth rate as 1t
must be affected by the war. They are
debating among themselves in what man
nPr it is possible to meet this problem,
which, Of course demands of the church
almost unbelievable concpssions-co -conces-
sOns which are to Roman Catholics
utterly insurmOuntable.
ITO hundreds of thousands of single or
'SuDerfuOus' women there must now be

tined to have been wives if the peace of
the world had not been broken. These
also have become 'superffuous' in the
sense that they cannot fulfill. their mis-
sion of motherhood What is to become
of all these women?
with the final declaration Of peace
il seems to me that in trying to cope
with the new problem of the birth rate,
there must be another War-a war in
which religions will fight each other. On
one side there will be ranged the broad
minded churchmen and on the other
those churchmen who are adamant in
their views, and who. whatever may be
the problem to he faced, are rigid in their
obserVances. One would have to be a
prophet to fOTetell what is to happen in
the future and whether the law will step
in, ignore the church, and reconstruct
the acts relating to Legitimacy. 1t is
quite obvious, however. even at this
stage, that something will have TO be
done If the depleted countries are gong
to attempt TO recover themselves aud re-
establish populations on their own basis.
whether this terrific conflict will
bring about a universal desire for peace
it Is not easy to say. The desire for re-
venge will remain in the hearts of all
nationalities. and human nature being
what il is, there is likely to be a competi-
ton in repopulatiOn, so that long after
our time the struggle for supremacy may
begin all over again. History has a
peculiar knack of repeating itself, and
the pendulum never cease to swing.
