POO. GOO War MarriaQeA

Sir Bernard Mallet. registrar gem era1, addressing the Royal Statistical society recently said that in England
 and Wales 100000 people had married between August, 1914, and June. 1917. while in Hungary. the only other befs ligerent country for which complete figures were available, the figure was 60o,oo0. By the end of June, 1918, the United Kingdom would have lost by the fall in births over 500 .00O potential lives. 10000 per million of the popula- ton.

Early Submarines.

The modern submarine Is the result of the slow development of an idea and the cumulative work of many in- ventors. Successful experiments in submarine navigation were made con siderably more than 100 years ago. In 1747 the Gentleman's Magazine, Lon don periodical, published picture of submarine boat that was being op- erated on the Thames. It was invent ed by an Englishman named Symons. Between ITS and 17I6 an American nEmed Bushnell built submarine boat which was used in actual warfare. but with little or no effect. It embodied some of the features of the modern submarine. Between l196 and lSlo Robert Fulton. American inventor of the steamboat, built several subma- rtnes which served to demonstrate the feasibility of underwater navigation, but he died before completing his ex- periments Experiments and inven- uons continued in several different countries until the present fighting machine was developed.

The 94-page booklet German War Practices" published by the commit tee on public information devotes one section to extracts from German war diaries, among them being the follow ing:
 "A shelf burst near the Eleventh company, and wounded seven men, three very severely. At five o'clock We were ordered by the officer in command of the regiment to shoot all the male inhabitants of Nomeny. be- cause the population was foolishly at tempting to stay the advance of the German troops by force of arms. We broke into the houses, and seized all who resisted. ip order to execute them according to martial law. The houses which had not been already destroyed by the French artillery and our own were set on fire by us, so that nearly the whole town was reduced to ashes. It Is terrible sight when helpless women and children. utterly destitute. are herded together and driven into France" (From the diary of Private Fischer, Eight Bavarian Regiment of Infantry.
