STATISTICS SHOW
CENTRAL POWERS
ARE CRUMBLING

Astounding proof that the founda-
tions Of the central powers are now
rapidly crumbllng and that the NOR
ale Of their civilian populations can
not withstand the ravages of war
more than two years longer was dis
closed yesterday by DR.. Raymond
Pearl. statisician OF the Food Ad-
ministration.
Through comparison OF data gath
cred by agents Of the allied govern
ments and the United States, scien-
lists have established the following
conclusions:
The net decrease in birth rates In
1917 was As per cent in Germany and
81 per cent in Hungary.
The net decrease in England and
France was "a per cent
Germany's loss in population was
10000 per million. Hungary's 10000
per million, and England's 10000 per
The marriage rate in England
showed a marEed Increase. but rhe
rate in the central powers declined
sharply.
A great decrease in the mcttality
rate in England, coupled with the In
creased marriage rate, will result in
net increase in population in the
British Isles as a result of the war.
War greatly increases the death
rate among all persons OF seventy
years or over. due to worry and ner-
vous excitement.
The marriage rate OF any country Is
the surest Indication OF the morale OF
the nation.
Deaths among the soldiers Of all na-
tions, with the possible exception OF
Germany, are no greater than II the
men were in civil life. due to the in
creased health conditions.
In discussing the length Of the
war as indicated by the statistics Of
decreasing morale, DR.. Paul said;
THE high death rate in the terri
tories of the Central Powers. the food
difficulties, and the ever increasing
menace OF the Allies combine to in
dicate that Germany and Austria
Hungary can not sustain their war
effort more than two years. Now is
the time for Germany to conclude
peace and gain what she can from
the wreckage. For the same reason,
now is the time for the Allies to
begin their effort which will crush
for at least a century any desire on
the part of the German people to
impose their will upon smaller ma
tiOns."

other side. is giving promise of a
complete victory. The Railroad Ad-
ministration was able to announce
yesterday that there is no car short
age for coal and will be none unless
some extraordinary weather condi-
tions, like those which prevailed for
a while last winter. should tie up all
movement of cars.
The friendly rivalry between the
railroads and the miners in the pro-
duction and distribution Of coal has
been distinctly on the miners side
since the beginning OF the war. They
expected to keep ahead OF the rail-
roads, but the Railroad Administra-
tion announces that il is now ahead
in the race and that cars are waiting
at the mines to be loaded
All rail movement of coal has bsen
progressing so rapidly that all danger
OF shortage in certain sections of
the country can be said to have been
averted. Coastwise and rail and wa
ter movements have not been so good.
New England needs coal more than
any other part OF the country, and
the Fuel Administration is doing
everything possible to push coal into
this important manufacturing district
while weather conditions are good.

Secretary Lane is developing
Government plans for placing
many thousands Of returning SOL
diers on farms which are to be
developed on an extensive scale.
Most of this development will be
in the west. Soldiers will be en-
ployed in developing irrigation
dams, developing the irrigation
system and also in building homes
SO that the same soldiers may
purchase ready to produce"
from the government. These
farms may be paid for on the
building and loan plan. Central
breeding farms will probably be
established for supplying needed
seed and livestock of uniform
type.

Nothing to Brag About

Los Angeles is Dragging Of the
size of one sweet spud which
was raised on a ranch near that
place. The spud weighed six
pounds, and there was "a pounds
of spuds in the hill. A few years
ago Chas. E. Price brought to
the Miner office a sweet spud
that was raised on the Keohan
ranch, near Planet. this county,
that weighed IA pounds and was
about two feet in length. An
other in the same hill weighed
eight pounds and there were a
number weighing from two to
four pounds, the product of the
hill being better than 40 pounds.

SlaCkerS Will Have
to Face Prosecution

The end of the war will bring
no JOY to the slackers who escap-
ed to neutral countries in order
to evade the draft. According
to the United States attorneys
office, there will be no let up in
the prosecution Of such cases; on
the other hand, such cases will
probably be more vigorously pros
secuted than in the past. There
is little chance for a fugitive reg
istrant or the citizen who left to
escape registration. to return to
the states unnoticed, for there is
a record of every Stacker.

The government is to fix price
of wool. although it is probable
that the price will be somewhat
higher than the present market
quotation. 1t is held that the
termination of every war the
past 100 years has seen wool
prices go skyward and the gov
ernment desires to stabilize the
price so that manufacturers may
not be discommoded by it, nor
the people have to pay exorbi-
tant prices for woolen goods.
