before they will be stopped and then
the British will hit the counter blow"
This was the comment here today

situation on the west front from latest

General White admitted that it is
perhaps the most critical period of the

he also believed it the critical hour
for Germany.
1--WE can still go back five or six
miles and then be where we were in
1916 and where we have strong de-
fenses," said General White General

ITALY'S BIRTHS SHOW
INEVITABLE DECLINE
BY Henry Wood
Omitted Press Correspondent

Omitted Press Correspondent
Rome, Oct. S. (By Mail. )--Italys
birth rate, which before the war was
l5one OF the healthiest in Europe, has
suffered the inevitable decline that
takes place always under war con-
ditfons, with much Of the male popu-
lation under arms.
The number of marriages has de-
| creased as it has In all other belli-
gerant countries, and while Italy is
by no means suffering from any
threat Of race suicide, this decrease
in marriages and birthrate, together
with heavy loss sof life in the war,
creates for Italy the same problem or
re-population after the war that is
facing the other warning nations.
During the years preceding the
war the average number OF marriages
in Italy was 100000 annually. In
1915, following Italy's entrance into
the war in May OF that year, this
average decreased at once to 186, 900.
The year following saw q still
further decline to 10000 marriages,
considerably less than half Of the
average before the war. The full
figures for 1917 are not yet available,
but enough have been obtained to
render 1t certain that the decrease
continued also throughout that year,
some authorities declaring 1t will
not exceed $4,000 marriages for the
year, while more optimistic ones fig
ure on at least $4,000.
A similar decline also has taken |
place in the Italian birthrate. For
four years preceding the war Italy's
average birthrate was 1,123,00O. In
1915 this suffered a decline to 8Sl,-
900 births.
During 1915, the Italian govern
ment arranged for it's soldiers at the
front to have occasional leaves OF
absence in which to visit their
families, something they had not en-
ioyed previously While 1t is expect |
ed that this will have beneficial In
fuence on the birthrate for 1917,
nevertheless this probably will be off,
set by the calling to the colors Of
additional classes. Statistics to date |
indicate that Italy's birthrate for
1917 will not have exceeded TOT, 1000,
while it may even have sunk as low
as 100000. r.-" i s-,~,fR r.
