Population Being Reduced by

JUNE WHITE SALE,

London June 3.-The drain of
man power, the fall in the numbers
Of births and the loss of the popula-
ton through sickness and underfeed-
ing is felt more severely by the Cen
trail Powers than by the peoples Of
the Entente. Whereas the annual
gain of population in Germany, in
Austria and in Hungary has given
place to a serious loss, the peoples Of
Ehe Entente have suffered a very
small dinninutdon in comparison.
Great Britain's population has so
far remained at about the same
figures. gains balancing losses. The
rate of increase in the United States
has not been affected at all AS the
war goes on this growing disparity in

have been. aggravated by hardships
and food troubles, increased by one
million over the normal. But this is
perhaps to be regarded merely as
wedding and no great biological loss.
Much of the mortality among chill
dren and among the civilian popula-
ton as a whole has been caused by
the way in which the food supply of
Germany has been mismanaged in
the interests of the land holders and
of the farming class and to the de-
triment Of the poor. The land hold
ers and farmers have prospered
while the poor in the towns have gone
short of bread and potatoes
On the other hand, because of the
liberal separation allowances and the
high wages, the vital conditions of
the working classes in Great Britain
have been better since the war than
when the war began. By next year
the German empire will be 1925, 900
lower In population than it would
have been had the war not taken
place.
The vitality Of the peoples Of
Austria and of Hungary has suffered
even more. This perhaps was to be
expected The peoples of Austria
Will be IL per cent. poorer in num-
brs next year than if the war had
never taken place. They will be 8
per cent. lower in numbers than they
were in 1914. Hungary will be still
worse off. 1t will have a population

war and 3 per cent lower than if
there had been no war. AS the war
continues so will these losses increase

ARGENTINA BUYS PAPER HERE
United states suppIsnts Germany
In shipments OF Product.

The United States has supplanted
Germany In the Argentine market for
paper and paper products. and according
to report issued yesterday by the
bureau OF foreign and domestic commerce.
Department OF Commerce, there IL a pos
sibility Of retaining the advantage when
normal conditions ere restored. Much
will depend upon conditions In Europe
after the war and upon the efforts made
by the American manufacturer and ex-
porter.
Germany did not manufacture all OF
the paper she formerly sold to Argen-
tina and other countries. Much OF 1t
was brought to Hamburg from the man
ufacturing Scandinavian countries and
from there distributed all over the
world. Hamburg Is a natural distrib-
uting centre for paper and Its exporters
thoroughly understand the business of
selling paper In foreign markets. The
success of American wholesale paper
houses In Argentina during the difficult
war years. however. indicates that there
Will be first class yaciiities for placing
American paper when the war is over
and competition is again keen.
In normal times Argentina purchases
about 100000 worth Of printing ma
chinery annually and an equal amount
OF type, printing ink and other supplies.
More than 30 per cent. Of the machinery
In use Is OF European origin, Germany
being the principal source OF supply.
This fact, according to the Governments
report. may he attributed almost entirely
to the facilities furnished by European
supply houses located in Buenos Ayres
since the war started American houses
have developed similar facilities and the
future prospects are much brighter for
the American mn nj n
