IN FOUR YEARS OF WAR
DECREASED BY HALF.

The following satisfies dealing with
the eect of the war on the birth rate in
Hungary were read to the Hungarian
Chamber of Deputies:
Before the war $4,000 children a
year were born in Hungary. In the
first year of the warJ 1914, the number
Of births was reduced by $4,000; IN
1915 only 4Sl 900 children were born
that is, 2S4,O00 less than in time of
peace. In 1916 the numebr of births
was 1873 ,00C-a reduction of $4,000.
In 1912 the births amounted to 327 900
that is, the reduction was 43S,000
Therefore our losses lin Hungary alone)
behind the front reash the number of
1,172,866 individuals.
Whereas in time of peace infant
morality, for a period of seven years,
was 81 per cent, in 1915 tle proportion
was increased to IS per cent and in
1916 to 80 per cent.

AMERICAN ARMY RIFLE
SUPERIOR TO THAT USED
BY GERMAN TROOPS

American troops are armed with a
faster firing and more accurate rife
than used by the Germans, according
to our expert designers, manufacturers,
and markSmCn, says a statement by
the Bureau of Ordnance. One military
"ritic and writer claims the German
Mcauser does not permit the most skill
ed user to get more than 30 per cent OF
the firing speed of the modified Enfield
adopted for the United States service.
The superiority claimed for the Amer
'.7' ~-c"~r' is sro9orted on tire ,
counts; Quicker firing as a result of
2pG.t design, easier aud quicker
sighting as result of sight design,
