War Effect On Population.-The
birth and marriage rates for the first
six months Of 1918. compared with the
first six months of 1917. show that
Now York citv is already beginning to
feel the effect OF the enlistment and
drafting Of so many young men Of
marriageable age. According to re-
ports published by the department Of
health of the city of New York, from
the first of July. 1918. there have been
41S fewer births in New York city,
and 2.S04 fewer marriages. than for
the same period of 1917. The expert
ence Of New York city in this follows
closely that of Europe since the war
started in 1914. Sir Bernard Mallett,
registrar general Of England. states
that in England and Wales the birth
rate has fallen. The rate for 1917
showed a decline of "a per cent over
that Of 1918, or total Of 66S.346 fewer
births. He feels that 1t will be long
time before the birth rate again reach
rs the figure which obtained before the
war; and states that, serious as this
loss is to the coming generations OF
his country. there is reason to believe
that Great Britain has suffered less
than other belligerents. Germany has
lost in potential lives the equivalent Of
as per cent Of its total pre-war pop
ulation. Austria per cent and Hun
gary per cent. Sir Bernard Mallett
calculates that the present war has
cost the belligerent countries Of Eu-
rope not less than twelve and half
millions Of potential lives at the pres
ent time. He says that every day the
war continues means a loss Of 1000
potential lives to the United Kingdom.
France and the Central Powers.

ANNUAL COMMENCEMENT
AT TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE

Tuskegee, Ala, May 23.-The day
was bright and the crowds from far
and near began to come early in wag-
ons, buggies, automobiles. 1t was
typical Tuskegee Commencement
crowd, which is always quiet, happy
and eager. Soda water and ice cream
cones, which were sold. partly for the
benefit of the Red Cross, added to the
pastime and good nature of the crowd
and at noon the visitors were guests
of the institute at an old fashioned
dinner served in the open air.
Today's exercises were the last fea-
lures of the thirty-seventh anniversary
exercises which began Sunday, May
18th when DR.. Frank Willis Barnett,
the fearless editor of Alabama Baptist,
delivered the commencement sermon
in the Institute chapel. DR.. Barnett
took for his text, God Is Love-" and
in the course of his remarks paid gen.
erous tribute to DR.. Washington, the
founder of Tuskegee Institute, and to
Dr. Motion, the present principal.
DR.. Barnett's Remarks.
In his charge to the graduating
class Dr. Barnett said:
81 want to say word to the
graduates: You have been at this In
stitute, and this Institute stands not
only to give you the best there is in
civic affairs, but to fit you to gain an
7 IL, &, ic
institution wants to send each one of
you out with the stamp of character
in your lives. You have worked hard
for your diplomas and yet 1 want to
tell you your diploma is but scrap Of
paper, even though it may carry the
seal of this great institution, unless
you bear in your own bodies the marks
