U.Boat Murders.
From the Scientific American.

From the Scientinc American.
There is a danger lest familiarity,
even with such a monstrous crime as
unrestricted U-boat warfare. should
breed indifference to its enormity.
Therefore. it is well to bear in mind
that. except when the attack is made
on fighting ships or transports carry
ing fighting men, the torpedoing of
ships and sending men to their death
far out at sea Is simply murder. un-
redeemed by any extenuating circum-
stances whatsoever. Just how great
bill Of Indictment is being drawn up
by the German admiralty against it.
self is seen in the statement given by
the government leader in the house
OF commons early last month, that up
to February 5. 1918. the German
U-boats had killed 14,120 non-com- :
batant British men. women and chill
dren. This. be it noted. is exclusive

The First American Passport.

From the Magazine Of American History.
Although many thousands Of Amer
leans have been going to Europe
every year. blissfully Indifferent to
any other formality than that of bid
ding the folks goodbye and picking
out a steamer. many old travellers
still adhere to the passport habit.
Passports are necessary in a great
many cases. For over q century the
United States government has issued
hcation-to its citizens travelling
abroad. yet very few people, indeed,
know anything about them, or what
they stand for. The word passport
Is composed OF two French words
passer, to pass, and port. a port or
harbor. Originally it meant permis-
sion to leave port or harbor, or sail
into one. Passports were also known
as safe conducts or letters of protec-
ton: ton: In, these days Of extensive for
means Of showing citizenship and
means of identity. The first American
passport. dated July s. 1895, was a
printed form about the size of a mod
ern letter-sheet and had no ornamen-
tation whatever. In succeeding years
ed. with the arms Of the United
States portrayed in different styles,
The present passport is a large
sheet OF bond linen, engraved from
steel plate. 1t is watermarked in
the center with the seal of the De-
partment of State, and at the top of
the sheet Is engraved the new coat of
arms: Formerly the fee for passports
was IS; now 1t is only 81. The docu-
ment remains effective for a period of
two years. The law provides that
every citizen of the United States is
entitled to a passport; and while
he might be swindler, robber or
entitled to this right This was wei
demonstrated some time ago when the
celebrated insurance frauds were be-
ing Investigated and process servers

0ld.Time Barley Bread.

From the Waterbury American.
We find more entertainment than in
struction in an editorial Of the Hart
ford Courant on the revised use Of
barley. 1t refers to it's use in Bible
times and finds this verse in the Book
of Judges to give an idea of its quail
ity:
And when Gideon was come, be-
hold. there was a man that told a
dream unto his fellow, and said, Be-
hold. l dreamed a dream, and 10. a
cake of barley bread tumbled into the
host of indian and came unto tent
turned it. that the tent lay along"
The Courant seems to approve of
the use of barley -four. though admit
ting some difficulties in preparing 1t
for bread. But 1t takes this Bible
verse as evidence that it's density
would make 1t serviceable as a pro-
jectile.

War and Birth Rates.

From the Scientific American.
In his recent presidential address to
the Royal Statistical Society Sir Ber-
nard Mallet declared that the United
Kingdom has lost by the fall in births
during the war more than 100000
potential lives. During the same pc
riod he estimates that Germany has
lost 100000 and Hungary 100000.
The greater decline In the birth rate
in the central empires is ascribed to
the fact that the poorer classes in
those countries have suffered greatly
in health and vigor on account of the
war. while the corresponding classes
in Great Britain have actually enjoyed
more favorable conditions than In time
Of peace.

India's Soldiers.

From the Montreal Gazette.
The Simla correspondent of the
Times, London, in pointing out that
in the year which ended April l last
the combatants enlisted in India num-
bered 2S5,200. stated that any estimate
of India's man-power based on a total
population would be fallacious. since
a large proportion Of Indians are non
lighting people. The latter fact partly
explains why India's representation in
the line OF battle Is comparatively
small. II the population Of that vast
country were of the kind that peoples
the white mans lands 1t would form
