THE REPAIR OF HUMAN WASTAGE
Problem Confronting the Caucasian Peoples.

We do not yet know how many hu
man beings, men, women and children
have been destroyed or ruined in the
great war. The number runs high
into the millions already, ten, fifteen
twenty, and it may reach any maxi.
mum estimate we may make before
the carnage is over.
To replace these losses is a problem
of the craftsmanship of the future
Replacement in quantity, restoration
of numbers, is a matter relatively sim
pie; renewal in quality is impossible.
For the purposes of our discussion we
may record all human destruction as
wastage, waiving all question as to
whether some part of the loss may be
balanced by ultimate advantage to
humanity in accession of harmony,
happiness or efficiency to the people
of urope.
Destroying picked and Chosen"
The malady of war attacks first the
young men, chosen first for strength
and endurance, those without blemish
SO far as may be, "the best that the
nation can bring" The destruction
and mutilation of the ''picked and
chosen" has no precedent in human
history. And with each man who falls
perishes also the great widening
wedge, reaching forward thru history,
of those who should have been his de-
scendants. When a man gives his
life for his country" as the undiscrim-
mating phrase goes, he gives far more
than that, he contributes his share to
the slain unnumbered," the last and
greatest loss of every war.
Besides the soldiers counted in mil
lions, the war takes its quota of civ
ilians, men and women slain along the
road, refugees of every class and de-
scription, and with these it takes also
those noble souls, men and women, un-
able to bear the awful strain of
topsy=turvy world. To these we NAV
add those slain in barbarian massa-
cres and thru the more discriminating
torture which civilized nations apply
to those who stand aloof from the

mob. And war takes it's toll of chill
dren, too, abandoned, trampled
starved in the rush of armies, or per-
ishing thru lack of care.
We are told that in the war-swept
districts of Poland there is scarcely a
child left under eight years save the
unweIcomed nurslings begotten by the
lawless hosts.
When Women Outnumber Men.
And behind all this, and after the
passing of the armies, over the wom
anhood of Europe spreads the dark
shadow of enforced celibacy. 1t is a
most unnatural world in which women
hopelessly outnumber the men, This
condition does not mean the freedom
OF women nor their release from any
Servltude men have thrust upon them
1t involves loveless lonesomeness of
great classes with no wholesome means
OF escape. 1t means that millions of
women created for love and mother
hood are debarred from the richest
Joys of life because their natural
mates no longer exist.
For these forms of wastage there is
no instant remedy. The dead cannot
return, the living must fill the gaps
as well as they can.
What of the future?
Here our problem divides the re-
placement in quality and the restora-
tlon IN quantity. The wastage in mere
numbers need not be permanent. In
time of peace "to be fruitful and null
tiply" is the way of the human race.
The growth of needs and luxuries, the
emancipation, the increased
care of the individual-thesea and other
influences, good and bad, tend to lower
the civilized birthrate.
But, as Benjamin Franklin once OBJ |
served, "the hen coop will always be
full whatever the number or kind of |
the hens" In a generation or two a
great nation will produce the requis-
ite amount of cannon fodder" if food
for cannon be national aim. In the
character of the race, stocked by this
Denver labor bulletin., 1917-08-04

primary aim, we have quite another
] problem.
The universal law of heredity is this
Like the seed is the harvest" The
weak, the infirm. the diseased, the
feeble-minded, the majority of those
That war cannot use, are on the whole
less fertile, less enduring, than the
soldier. viz
But most nations hope to get imme-
diate results. All war is lapse into
barbarism, and the wastage of war in
yltes the nations to lapse little far
ther. Why not conscription of wom-
en- for reproduction as well as of mon
for destruction
There is certainly no moral differ
ence, and perhaps no legal difference,
between the two propositions.
The Abrogation of Freedom.
If the conscription of women's bod-
les is an assault on individual freedom.
SO is the conscription of mems bodies
and OF like degree and nature. In a
state which holds its citizens by di-
vine authority there can be no limit
to conscription. The recent establish
ment of the "home army" in GERMANY
establishes this principle.
And IN some form or another.
CLOSED over by religion or patriotism
some form of conscription of women

gulsed by rendering Legitimate" all

This would be semi-legaI-
lied concubinage and merely a device
to conceal polygamy. But in an emas-
culated society some form Of polygamy
Denver labor bulletin., 1917-08-04

Is the only resort as against the bar
renness of a generation.
But the highminded will refuse this
resort, and the children born will dem
onstrate that "like the seed is the
harvest" Yet the ranks will be filled
IN one way or another. The Germans
will meet the facts as they are and
systematic what they cannot avoid.
In France the bars, never too high, will
be quietly lowered. while England will
be shocked and let Nature "muddle
on" after her usual fashion.
The common run of people look tn
the state to set the moral pace and
ask no deeper sanction than the states
tacit approval.
But by the prevalence of polygamy
IN whatever form "sweet love is slain,b
and womanly virtue is placed in
Jeopardy. AS Emerson once observed,
Even the angels must respect con-
yentionalties." And the conventions
by which society has guarded its most
precious jewel, the chastity of women,
cannot be blindly discarded without a
far-reaching heritage Of evil.
Whatever the action of the state,
the real problem of celibacy remains.
The best of women, fitted for hold
wifehood and motherhood, will not find
refuge in concubinage, nor, for the
most part, can they wed with those
war leaves behind, nor with the wreck
age war returns to society. The prob
lem of enforced celibacy, largely in
soluble in times Of peace, becomes
hopeless in the aftermath of war.
"War Brides" No Solution.
The expedient of "war brides" in
temporary and loveless "war mar
riages". tried at the beginning of the
war. yields little to the solution of the
problem. A few thousand children, a
Few thousand mothers with unstable
Denver labor bulletin., 1917-08-04

other countries, show that twent,
years after war fertility falls off
stature is lowered, and there is n
great increase in the number of those
rejected from the service thru chronic
or hereditary defects.
There is no truth in the common be-
lief that the moral exaltation of war
time reappears in the heredity of chill
dren born in such periods Of exalta-
ton. Moveover there is no such ex-
altation so far as society in general
is concerned. No doubt individuals are
raised above themselves thru losses
sustained in faith or hope. But the
war periods as whole are times of
intolerance, greed, prejudice and hate.
The words quoted by Kant from an
unnamed Greek author still hold. War
creates more rascals than it kills"
and in any event its incidents do not
color the stream of heredity.
The effect of the reversal of selec-
ton produced by war, in lowering the
physical standards of the people con-
cerned, is so well understood and so
well authenticated that it needs no
further discussion here.
AS in the long run the strong and
the intelligent tend to outlast, in times
OF peace, the weak, the dissipated, and
the lawless, we may expect after this
war, as after other wars, a slow re
covery.
But for century TO come the his
tory of Europe will disclose its failure
to conserve the best members of it's
population. If the British authorities
were looking forward to intellectual
and social supremacy fifty years hence
instead of rushing the "picked half
million" to slaughter in France and
Flanders they would have said: "Not
scholar. not an athlete, not a uni
versity man, not skilled laborer for
the army. We need these men for
home consumption. We are willing to
accept temporary political defeat for
the sake of intellectual triumph in the
future"
But governments are not run ALONG
biological lines, nor usually with an
eye to any long future. Some dav
common sense, with its extension. bu,
man science, will expel medieval su-
perstition in international affairs With
the passing Of war we shall fear no

realm of sport is directly or indirectly
involved in the decision the United
States Golf association makes at it's
annual meeting in New York next
week on the question of what con-
stitutes an amateur" according to
Frank l.. Woodward, president of the
association. who left here today for
the annual gathering.
1T is either sport for sports sake or
sport for gain" said Mr.. Woodward.
1T is for the delegates to decide
whether the game of golf shall be
maintained upon the principles Of
clean. straightforward, decent sports
manship Or whether players shall be
permitted to trade upon it for personal
profit.

and the best elements in human ma
ture. The other is n mere yielding to
