BIRTHS IN WAR TIME.
Not Until We Have Statistics Of All
Warning Countries Can We Tell
How the Sexes Compare in Number.

IL a current belief he true, more BOYS
than girls are born in countries under
the stress and privations of war. The
idea Is that nature thus restores the
manhood lost in battle and rcscucy
nations from permanent decay. Mani
iestIy, an Increased frequency of male
births, II 1t REQUIRED regularly as a
form of law. would be desirable in the
interests of the race. Boys and men
are liable to fatal accidents than
women and girls; they are engaged.
o In war and peace, in more dam
gerous trades. and there is very good
evidence that. other things being equal,
women as a class live longer than men.
Furthermore, the class of unmarried
women as an increasing one and Is, IL
carefully understood, the measure of
the number of men. In fact the pre-
ponderance Of women in numbers is
evident. except In a few countries on
the limits Of civilization.
As regards the number of boys BORN
In this war In the countries which
have suffered the tumultuous sorrows
and privations of invasion, no trust
worthy statistics were at hand until
lately. There were plenty OF guesses
but no exact data. Fortunately an
authentic record OF the births In the
Maternite Departmental of the Marine
have been published by the London
Lancet. At Chalons-sur-Marne the
matron of the hospital furnished the
following figures up TO the END of May
last. Here l?2 boys and 40 girls were

OF the Marine. where. II anywhere in
France, the conditions are those OF
want and strain. These figures, Sc far
AS they go, are sound enough. But
France hardly symbolizes the worlds
experience In this matter. We have
seen many published statements that.
as a Uniform rule Of nature. more boys
are born than girls. The war phe-
nnmenon would be more convincing IL
statistics were available of occupied
belgium and Serbia. not of England or
France.
Though IL is said that in II Paris
maternity hospital an overwhelming
proportion of boys are being born, 1t
Is argued that the case of Paris Is no
indication of the true direction Of

occur in this part Of France. They
certainly do not occur In England. and
though We have no authority for the

In Germany. The interprc-
tation put upon the figures 81 the hos
p!tal Of Chalons-sur- Marine Is n of
the most significant features OF the
social side Of a 1t seems probable
that there is a fixed excess of girls
under var conditions.
The question, however. concerning
the real causes Of this excess il one
that IL will be difficult to determine
until the statistics OF aN1he belliger-
ent countries are arranged and pub
