SLUMP IN GERMAN BIRTH RATE

London, Oct. 9 (By MaiD-An alarming slump in the birth rate in Germany is checking the population by more than 100000 souls a year.
 Figures published by a German weekly show that the births in the Empire fell from 1,8OO,OO0 in 1916, a decrease of more than forty per cent
 This decrease added to the huge mortality of the war will probably put the actual decrease above 1,5OO,OOO in the last year.

LAST CONGRESS- 300 PAGES
 SHY OF TALKING RECORD

Washington, Oct. 3O.-Most Con gressmen thought when the last ses- sion adjourned, it had been the most talkative in history. what with the war, taxes, the draft and the boys in the trenches to make speeches about. With the last postponed number of the Congressional Record containing canned "eXtension work" speeches, it had been found that the volume is 300 pages shy of the previous high mark
 Representative Joseph Walsh, Mass. is largely responsible. Early in the session he began obiecting to what he termed "abuses of the extension sys- tom.' Amateur poems, essays on the war by precocous Johnny, just twelve wears old, and the son of an important constituent obituaries in verse and others were taboo.
 One objection will kill any proposal to extend" Walsh says a lot of the boys got pretty "sroe" at him.

Many Rooms Needed.

While teachers soliciting under the
direction Of J. Maurice Martin, the
Commercial club and the hotels al
ready have listed $50 rooms in priv.
ate homes, the number is still short
of the quota which it is believed will
be needed.
I'VE already have far more requests
for reservations than we can care for
in the Grand Pacific and Bismarck"
said Henry Halverson of the Grand
Pacific today. 81 am confident that
not less than 500 rooms in private
homes will be needed to care for all
of our guests next week. Many of
the convention visitors will wait until
they reach the city to think Of &C.
commodations. On the third of July
of last year we placed 300 guests in
private homes from the Grand Pacific,
and there is every reason, from pres
'ent indications, to believe the demand
will be much greater next week."
"Filled, absolutely everything. We're
doing the best we can now to look up
outside accommodations for the teach.
ers," was the report from the Nc
Kenzie and the Northwest. "Biggest
demand for rooms in our history"
say the Van Horn and the Annex.
Cards have been sent broadcast over
the state, warning travelling men to
shun Bismarck next week and predict.
ing that 1000 visitors will crowd every
room in the city.
Fears that the attendance might be
cut down by crop shortages in some
sections and war conditions in others
do not appear justified today.
