BIRTHRATE DROPS
 OFF DURING WAR
In Italy It Falls to Low Figure of 11 Per ThouSand--W For
 ncrIy :a1.

Rome, May 2S, (Corrcsp of the Associated Press. )-Tho high pre- war birth rate of Italy of 3l per thou sand declined during the war until for 1918, according to an exhaustive in - vestigation by pr. William Charles White of Pittsburgh, head of the American Red Cross Tuberculosis comm ission It had reached the low fig ure of approximately Y DOT thousand
 "DUring the ten years, 1901 to 1911" says Dr. White. "Italy added 2.250, 900 to her population and from 1912 10 1915 she added 1,S0O.000. making an increase of about half a million.
 For a long period of years. the OK cess of births over deaths in Italy has never fallen below 10 per thousand, while in some districts it is as high US 23.3 per thousand.
 Normally, l3S children under one wear of age die for each thousand liv- ing births in Italy. During the war this figure in the large cities had riscn to Fl per thousand. In some cases it rose to the alarming figure of 637 in the smaller cities. These figures give some indication of the problem in the fIolds of child welfare in Italy as ono of the countries suffering most by the calamitits of war within Its own ter ritOries.

BOlsiievism Is Liable
To Sweep Over Rhine

Turning now to the first of the
four possibilities: Can Bolshevism
sweep westward? The answer rests
upon conditions which we can only par
TALLY estimate, but in my judgment
Paris to-day recognizes the possibility.
the very obvious possibility, that we
shall have Bolshevism on this side Of
the Rhine within six weeks.
Agents of Bolshevsm already are
here. | sat beside French general
at luncheon in Colmar last Sunday and
he told me that already he had been
compelled TO arrest Russian Bolshevist
agents who were pouring into southern
hlsace, amply provided with funds. He
told me also that Alsatian soldiers
who had been forced into the German
army and compelled to serve on the
Russian frontier were coming back
now to their homes corrupted by Bol-
shcvlst idens, which they had encoun-
tered on the Russian front.
! do not believe there is a sinplc
thoughtful man in Paris who would
venture to forecast certain disintegra-
ton Of Bolshevsm before /, arrives

1t would anywhere find dociaive re-.

rope, Declares Simonds
By Frank II. Simonds

PARIS. March o. As result Of
the Developments alike IN Hungary and
IN Germany in the last few days. il
would hardly be an cNaggeraton to say
that in conservative circles the view in
now held that there is not more than
one chance in four that the conference
of peace will be able to reach a decision
which will peacefully transform the sit
uaton here. We have the following
possibilities,
A rapid sweep of Bolshevism east
ward, engulfng Germany and Ger
man Austria in its advance
, The moral certainty that Germany
Will not sign any treaty of peace
formulated at Paris and will either join
forces with Bolshevsm or use Bolshev-
ism as weapon against her enemies.
Z The almost inescapabe certainty
that when the people Of England
and France and Italy discover that after
six months of promises following four
and half years Of sacrifice they have
to bear the burden of another war, and
are not to enjoy the blessings of peace
and the fruits of victory, they will turn
on their own governments and Eastern
and Western economic and political un-
rest will meet at the Rhine.
f. The possibility is that the confer
ence of peace viii still be able to
make up its mind what the peace terms
shall be, and will possess alike the power
and the will to enforce those terms.

92-Mile Wind Only

HE wind velocity at $50
last night, ninety-two miles
an hour, was next to the highest
ever recorded by the local weather
bureau. On February IL, 1912,
the city was swept by wind of

only other instances of ninety

Although in point of actual
snowfall the blizzard does not
compare with that of March IL.
