Finds Amazing Dearth
OF Babies in Serbia

hundred poor children came with
their mothers to a free dinner
given by the American Red Cross
in Belgrade.
There were only about twenty
children under three years OF
age in the whole number.
For a period OF four years
there is a deficit OF 100000 babies.
This will have curious and far
reaching effects. There will be
a hiatus in the ranks of school
children for an age period OF
four years. There will be no
graduating classes to speak OF in
the years in which those born in
1916-1919. would normally gradu-
ate.
The industries and employ
ments, which receive each year a
certain number of young men and
women. will find a sudden cessa-
tion OF the supply for a four
year period. and parish registers
will record an extraordinarily
