Manpower Drain Hurts 1eutons.

London, June 4.-The drain Of man
power, the fall in the numbers OF
birth and the loss Of the population
through sickness and undertaking Is
felt more severely by the Teuton
powers than by the peoples Of the
Allies. Whereas, the annual gain OF
population in Germany, in Austria and
in Hungary has given place to serious
loss, the peoples Of the Allies have
suffered a very small diminution IN
comparison. Great Britafn's total pop
plation has so far remained at about
the same figure.

of place. 1t is hoped by the women that
some people in the city will be gem
erous enough to donate these, and in
the giving take them direct to the
Science hall.
There is also need of newspapers and
magazines and othe rreading for the
box will be placed at State and Lib
erty streets whereby people may give
magazines and other realing for the
boys
In doing what they can for the young
students, all of whom are under Il
years of age, the object is to make life
more pleasant for them in various ways.
One of these win be in the giving of
weekly dances for the boys who enioy
this pastime. A hall will be provided
and admission will be only by invita-
tion.

country before he succeeded to the throne and was
kabIe fellow who might even have made good in this
country in competition with American boys. Since
the war began he has shown sterling qualities and the
greatest of physical, as well moral courage. Aberts
being king the result of the accident of birth and is
not his fault altogether that he wears crown.
