The majority of the Young

Deaths Outnurnber
Births in England
in worst Year

London, March 12.-Death rate
probably exceeded the birth rate in
England and Wales during the past
year, according to a statement by
DR.. Saleeby, based upon unpub-
lished figures sent him by the regis
trar general The young population
of the country was markedly deelin-
ing, he declared, and last year was
the worst on record. x...
In London, for which the figures
were known, the birth rate was 1873
per 1000, and the death rate 1877.
The smahness of the birth rate
figure was unprecedented in English
history.
These statements were made at
meeting called by the national coun-
Gil for the unmarried mother and
her child, at which Sir CHARLES
Wakefield said $4,000 children are
born out of wedlock each year in this
country alone. The death rate
among them was 205 per 1000,
against l02 per 1000 for those born
OF marriage.
The bishop of Birmingham said in
forcing marriage between two peo-
pie they might do more harm than
good, and he had himself in cases
pressed for marriage and regretted
that he had done so. In the attempt
TO do what was moral the inn
moral might be done. It was not
mere utilitarianism, but Christianity

Mrs. Baker, on behalf Of organized
woman's labor, said even though the

married mother used to be allowed
had been increased to $3.50, it placed
her in the same position as before
the war. Unless proper safeguards
