GERMAN BIRTH RATE
SHOWS BIG SHRINKAGE
Decrease In Some Towns for Two Years
Is 80 Per Cent

Amsterdam, Netherlands, June H.
Correspondence from the in
roads made upon Germany's population
renewal OF her people is making itself
very sharply felt. The provisional birth
statistics for 1916 show very clearly
what shrinkage will be evident H.
the German army levies for these years
OF war assuming that the emperor, or
at least his military system. have not
disappeared from the German empire
before the time for their calling up
comes around.
The official statistics which relate
10 German towns OF $4,000 and more
inhabitants show that the number oi
infants born alive in such towns de-
creased by 1S1. .O6S in 1915 as compared
with 1914. and that in 1916 they again
declined by ll4,557, making a total de.
crease between the beginning Of 1915
and the end OF 1916 Of 245,625. or 39.5
per cent OF the number Of living births
recorded in the year 1914 This per.
centage almost entirely accords with
the decrease percentage in the absolute
number OF such births recorded in the
26 largest German cities which are sen
arately tabulated.
II is clear that such a decline IN
the number Of births can by no means
be counterbalanced by the simultaneous
decrease shown in the mortality rate Of
infants under one year old, although
this is relatively somewhat greater than
the shrinkage shown in the number Of
births. The mortality rate OF infants
under one year old measured by com.
parison with the number OF births, has
continually declined since the year 1871 1.
In the 20 largest German cities the
rate Of such infant mortality as com.
pared with births. fell from 1873 in tho
year 1914 TO 1870 in 1916. while in all
German towns OF $4,000 or more inhab.
itants IL declined in the same period
from 1873 to 1873.
AS the German press emphasizes with
legitimate satisfaction the rate OF In.
FAINT mortality in the war year 1875
was lower even than In the year 1912,
when II stood at l4.l, hitherto a recocl
low rate. Such n comparative mortal.
ity decrease, however, can naturally
have but the very slightest effect on

births in Germany in the past two years
