RACE AND THE PROPORTION OF
MALE AND FEMALE BIRTHS.

The Evening News" Of the 9th Of
February publishes interesting sta
tistics regarding the proportion Of
male and female births in different
races and different parts of the world.
These statistics show that while Rus
sian Jews show a birth rate of 129
boys to every 100 girls, the Russian
Poles only used to produce 101 boys
to every 100 girls. There is no doubt,
this paper states, that racial char
acteristics greatly affect the issue, be-
cause Jews everywhere have a higher
male birthrate than Christians, and
among the Irish there are always
about "a per thousand more boys than
girls born as compared with the Eng
lish The smaller communities oc-
cupying different areas show very
great Emergencies as in Rhode Island,
United States, there are los male
births to 100 female births while in
Connecticut there are ITO female and
200 male births. This paper contra.
diets the usual belief that warfare ac-
counts for the destruction of male
life; there is, it says, a very much
higher rate of mortality among men
than women which causes the differ
ence.

told him that the lecture would not be
allowed to take place again. One could
just imagine the effect upon the ignor-
ant population of such pictures and
statements made throughout the coun-
try, and he believed that the Govern
ment in prohibiting that lecture con-
tributed to the prevention of pogroms.
In conclusion, said Sir Stuart, the
Jews in this country could help the
Jews in Poland by insisting upon the
provisions OF the Minority Clauses and
by contributing to the funds estab-
lished for their benefit. The Jews in
Poland were starving, and they did
not seem to have the power Of organ
ization. The Mission to Poland made
them feel that their brethren in Eng
land sympathized with them and that
they were not deserted.

against the Polish Government that
it Disseminated with regard to the
importation of goods. He had investi-
arrived at the conclusion that there
was no ground for the complaint. The
Government was forced to give
licenses to the Jews because they had

Military Service.
The Jews had been accused in
Poland, as in other countries, of not
being anxious to do their duty in the
army.
There was no question with regard
to that, because Military Service there
was compulsory. He would not be sur
prised if Jews were not anxious to
serve in the Polish Army in view Of
the treatment they received. He had
interviewed many Polish Jewish SOL
diers, and he had no hesitation in say
ing that the treatment, they received
from their superior officers was such
as he thought would distinguish no
other army in Europe. He had also
investigated the statement that Jews
were not allowed to become officers
in the Polish Army. There were prac-
tically no Jewish officers with the
exception of doctors and few Off
Gals in the Administration Never
theless, there was very large pro-
portion of Jews in the Polish Army,
and they gave a very good account

fighting. If justice were done to the
Jewish soldiers in Poland many would
rise to distinction; but at present they
did their duty to their country in the
certainty that their country would not
do its duty to them.
AS to the future, if the Minority
Clauses were observed loyalty and
faithfully. relations between the Jews
and their fellow-citizens in Poland
would be of the best. The Govern
ment was urged from various direc-
tons not to carry out the provisions
of the Treaty; but he had no doubt
that the heads Of the Polish Govern
ment would desire to carry out the
Treaty in it's entirety. Below the top
layer of officials in Poland one came
across a very inferior class underpaid
and anti-Jewish. BY consequence. the
writ of the Government did not go
very far, and he did not regard with
ontiemis1n theHfuture of the Jews un-
der the present regime. It might be
that suffering and trouble would force
upon the Polish people the conviction
that State must have all it's people
satisfied and contented. and work to
promote harmony and goodwill. He
believed that it would be possible if
the Press would abstrain from its agi-
tation against the Jews.
While he was in Poland there was
a lecture given sby man who called
himself a professor. abouts Jewish rit-
ual murder. Pictures were thrown on
the screen of
