Results Of Hybrid Mating.

Here is strange set of facts, prov
en- by three different investigators In
three different parts of the world at
three different times.
In matings of so-called pure" races,
that is to say, Englishnan with Eng
lish woman, Frenchman with French
woman, German with German woman,
ETC., 104.54 more males are born than
females.
In hybrid matings, that is to say, of
different nationalities, there is more
significant excess of male over female
births.
In matings of United States whites
the ratio is about the Same as that of
European hybrids.
In matings of United States culored
folks there is a significant excess of
females over the ratio Of British West
Indian colored who are relatively pure
bred.

elephants do rest lying down, but no
one ever saw Kenia elephant lying

against the Allies another people, pos
sesSed with the same feelings and ideals
OF civilization which brought Italy into
the world conflict, declared war on the
Central Empires by sending several mil
lions of tons of war materials. thus
reestablishing the equilibrium impaired
and giving new moral and material
strength TO the Allies.
Those generous people were the
people OF the great American Republic
Italy and America entered the war-I
wish to repeat it again-inspired solely
by the same feeling of human solidarity.
These two generous nations must be
given credit for their deeds. They saved
the allied armies and brought the con-
flict TO victorious end. Without the
help Of Italy and America. who might
have been looking on quietly, with their
hands in their pockets. the war might
have gone on indefinitely. Their inter-
vention brought things to an end.
Both nations bound by the same
Ideals and sentiments are bound to re-
main always united by the same ties
for many centuries TO come.
ITALY did not distinguish herself only
through the valor of her soldiers, but
also deserves great credit for her phil
anthropic work which followed immedi-
ately the end of the hostilities.
Ladies and Gentlemen, reminded
you of the contribution given by Amer
lea and Italy in the world conflict, to
show that it is time that these two great
nations have fully deserved the graft
tude OF other peoples. To-day are pend
ing discussions about disarmament to
assure peace for the world, and here l
want to repeat again what ! said on
previous oocasions. Before thinking
about the disarmament of the armies 1t
is necessary and essential to disarm the
spirit and the hearts of the people.
1T is necessary that in the minds, in
the soul and the conscience of every
country in the world the real feeling of
peace shall dominate; it is necessary
that the general conviction be formed
that only in the work of peace. progress
of humanity shall be built and not
among the horrors Of the world, which
destroy men and wealth. This idea of
war must be discarded like old clothes,
and / am firmly of the opinion that
these two great nations-Italy and
America--who did not hesitate to enter
unselfshly the world conflict, for the
purpose of saving human civilization.
will remain united by the same ideals
and sentiments, so that peace may be
assured for all the world.
