Joe Arseneault is | two miles back of us He's on a farm toe. We passed by there this week but didn't have time to l speak to him because we were 1 of hike. Did they set Hasler in the draft? Send the paper out here to me l 50 that I can read some of the news We can get papers 6ut here but there fig no Norwich news in them. Well 1 I'll close, hoping to hear from you soon. Love to all.

BIRTH RATE DECREASES

London. May ia report compiled
by the local government board based
on information from German sources
shows fall In the birth rate in Ger
many during the three years, 1851
inclusive, equivalent to the loss of Q,
100000 infants. Forty per cent fewer
births occurred in 1916 than IN 1913
These figures are compared with a. de.
crease Of 10 per cent in the birth rate
in England and Wales.
The infantile death rate in Germany
has been kept we'll down, but neverthe,
less, the report shows, is SO per cent
higher than in England and Wales.
This fact has led to large extension
of infant welfare work in, Germany, in
which voluntary societieS have played
an active part. but the movement is
becoming one increasingly in the con-
troll of municipalities.
An abnormal increase in infant NOR
tality during the first months Of the war
is shown by the fact that in Prussia in
the third quarter of 1914 the rate rose
from 124 to 143; in Saxony, from 40
to 242. and in Bavaria, from 10 to 239.
The, records in England apd Wales
do not show any abnormal mortality
among infants during the early months
of the war.
