The fatal objection to the scheme
will not be the reluctance of women
married to CIVILIANS to promote the
aims of their country, nor to the
feeble protests or prejudices of their
civilian husbands, doomed in advance
to futility. 1t is constituted by the
German spinsters and widows Of Ger
man soldiers. This war will greatly
increase the preponderance of the fe
male sex over males in all belligerent
countries, despite the superstition that
in TIME of war and after war male
births show remarkably increased
ratio. If in other days there always
remained the problem of the odd
women, and it was one Of the greatest
of modern problems, though not often
that problem will be great
ly intensified in the future. The
struggle for existence as wives will
become more bitter. The tendency
will be rather toward polygamy than
toward polyandry. Therefore, the
scheme of lateral marriages" as sug-
gested would not meet the real needs
OF the situation.

A REGIMENT OF MINERS;
THE 18TH ENGINEERS
CHANCE FOR MINE EMPLOYEES TO
CHOOSE BRANCH OF MIL
ITARY SERVICE.

The war department is finding that
it has been making the same mistake
that was made in Great Britain and
France. Probably it is duplicating a
good many of their mistakes, but we
now have reference to one in particu-
lar In the first place, men were draft
ed Unfortunately for the line regi-
ments of the army, says the Engineer
ing and Mining Journal. Later it was
found necessary to organize regiments
Cor special purposes, such as gas and
flame work, tunneling and mining
that the men who ought to be in those
special regiments were scattered in
discriminatory and were not easy to
collect.
In the United States the first draft
took men in the same proportion from
every part of the country. The quotas
drawn from Lake Superior, the Mime
sofa iron ranges, Butte, Bisbee, etc,
consisted largely of miners. For eX-
ample about 1000 men were taken from
Butte, a large proportion of whom
were miners, which is one of the rea-
sons for the scarcity of miners in
Butte at present.
Mine Managers Should Cooperate.
Now Major Perry and Captain Lam
ders, two of our we'll known mining
engineers, are organizing the 9th En-
gineers U. S. N. A., which is to be
especially a mining regiment, and are
asking for volunteers to it. We hope
that they will get all that they need
and that mine managers will cooper
ate in the recruiting of this regiment
for the number of men that it will re-
uuire is not very large and the work
ing force of the mining industry viii
not thereby be diminished seriously II
miners who have already been draft
ed and are now scattered among the
several cantonments could be released
for -reassembly in the mining regi'
ment, that would be desirable. But that
would be a difficult thing to do. Never.
theless the war department ought tt
, try to do something of the sort ant
ought to give it's attention to thu
avoidance hereafter of using specia
material for the purposes for Whicl
ordinary material is sufficient.
Chance to Choose Service.
| However the withdrawal Of miner
8 already drafted is manifestly some
5 thing that is impracticabe immediate
: ly, and the pressing matter is to re
s cruit the -27th Engineers as rapidly a
a possible. We hope that mine manag
|, ers will cooperate in this, especially !
d those districts--like the lead and gin
d mining districts-where there is now
: surplus of labor and miners can
: spared. But everywhere 1t may a
we'll be frankly recognized that sec
n ond quota of the draft will soon b
n called to the colors, and there Will b
Y no occupational exemption exceT
probably in the case of shipwrights.
h would be an excellent thing therefor
Il for miners who hold numbers indical
: ing the probability of their being cal
e ed in the next draft to volunteer no
,e for the 9th Engineers, which woul
d take them into regiment of conger
7 ial character and would enable them
= preserve previous associations.

Statistics concerning the birth rate
of the countries at war are difficult
to obtain. Those from Great Britain
are not up to date; information from
France is inadequate and German re-
ports are either conflicting or DELHI
erately distorted.
Nevertheless some attempt at COM
piling reasonably accurate lists, es
pecially undertaken by the Danish So
ciety for the study Of the social con-
sequences of the war. From these
it appears that the total loss of pop
ulation to France for three years of
war is 100000 and to Germany
3,7OO,O0O These figures include, of
course, the soldiers who have fallen
in battle and the babies who have
failed to be born. 1t is worth noting
that despite the fact that German
babies cannot receive the same guam
tity of milk and other nourishment as
formerly, and though their mothers
are often engaged in rough labor, the
infant mortality shows decrease.
This is supposed to be due to the
better private and official care given
the children in recognition of the
national necessity of making up for
the failing birth rate.
AS a rule German families have
been large and French families have
been small, but for some years be-
fore the war a decline In the German
birth rate had been noted, due chiefly
to economic causes. In 1876, for in
stance, the annual German birth rate
per 1000 was 400, and in 1913 1t had
fallen to 275. The decrease in the
death rate however, more than made
up for the falling birth rate, and the
German population was increasing al
the rate of 100000 year.
About the middle of 1915 the de-
crease in German births began to bt
