Moreover, the age question has to
be considered. The proportion Of
bachelors marrying during 1911-14
was about 80 per cent. In 1886-1S90
1t was so per cent. 1t was 376 in
1917. The proportion Of bachelors
marrying at ages over 35 has also
increased notably during 1916 and
1917. OF spinsters marrying during
the later eighties. about So per cent
were under 25 years Of age; Of these
marrying during the last few years,
only 55 per cent were under 25. The
proportion in 1917 was 54.s. The
war Of course has proved a disturb
ing factor in all statistics, but it is
not to be doubted that among the
middle classes marriages are becom-
ing not only fewer in number, but
later in respect of the age OF the
contracting parties.
This tendency affects, as we have
suggested, the lower middle class
most of all, that Is to say the class
with incomes from 800 pounds per
annum, to 500 pounds or 1000
pounds. This class contributed a
very large number Of officers to the
army during the war--and lost
very large number. II has often
and rightly been described as the
backbone Of the nation" From
it are recruited our professions, a
great number Of our thinkers, or
ganizers, administrators. soldiers,
and sailors. In very many of It's
families a tradition Of service ex-
lists which Is Of great value to the
state, e. g., a medical tradition, a
legal tradition. clerical tradition.
and so on These families have
made great sacrifices In the past to
Keep the tradition going; but the
limit of the possible has been
reached. Tho doctor may be able
to make one son doctor Ii his
family consists of but one son, but
on no other terms. He is faced with
choice which is really no choice
at all.
Is this middle class to be allowed
to die out or is 1t not?. Unless some
steps are taken the process must go
on We have to choose between leg
islation which will make 1t profit
able, or at least possible, to have |
children and the present policy of
extinction. Other nations have
found 1t worth while to put a pre-
MUM on babies and have achieved !
their purpose. This nation puts a
premium on bachelorhood. and its |
inevitable consequences, venereal
disease and prostitution.

Uncle Sam as "Uncle" to
E'urODe
EMrODe

Sir George Paisch says that France, Italy,
Belgium, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Rou-
mania. Serbia, Jugo- -Slavia, and possibly Russia
must have in the next II months $4,000 900 900
made by these countries. In no other way, he
thinks, can Europe avoid bankruptcy and ruin.
Financial adviser Of the British government and
International economist he sees in the league of
nations means of providing this enormous
credit, which, issued by the league, would, he
believes, afford security which the nations
would accept at its par value"
Undoubtedly financial conditions are des-
perate on the continent and even Britain, al
though by no means a financial bankrupt is,
through her war reactions and labor troubles,
hard pressed to recover her normal status. This
proposal, therefore, Of Sir George i. a cordial
invitation to the United States, as practically
the only member of the league of nations in a
condition to lend credit to assume the liability
for this enormous sum.
This is one of the reasons why subscription
to the league OF nations covenant by our govern
ment should be attended with ample provisions
for self-protection against possibilities not yet
discovered and against liabilities which we would
be obliged to carry practically alone When we
contemplate responsibilities of this character,
fore the wisdom Of the reservation as to with
drawal from the league on our. own motion.
America will always perform her share of render
ing assistance to distress everywhere-the his
tory of the past four years demonstrates that
but to enter into contracts to finance the world
indefinitely and without ample provision for
withdrawal when our own interests compel it
would have been the height Of folly This pro-
posal from Sir George Paisch, emphasizing the
Importance of reservation No. as to withdrawal
from the league, should suggest to even the most
casual and superficial student of the situation
the probable necessity of such other reservations
as the foreign relations committee have found
Il proper to propose. 1t also shows why I'VE
should worry" about the other powers objecting
to any reservations to the treaty likely to pass
