GENERAL. BOOTH SEES EVIL IN
DOLE TO UNEMPL DYED; DECLINE
IN MORALS GIVEN AS RESULT

LONDON, Feb. LIN report on
the social work of the Salvation Ar
my, General Booth refers to the ef-
fects of the dole" of the unem-
ployed.
81 am led sometimes" he says, "to
wonder whether what is called the
dole---the indiscriminate distribution
of money for which no labor is re-
quired in return-is not almost, II
not quite. as great misfortune as
unemployment.
Speaking of the moral decline, the
mischievous influence over all alike,
which springs from the evil of this
thing, he added: For once at least
we see how a remedy may be far
worse than disease. The steady
receipt Of money for which no equiv
alent work is rendered, makes against
everything that is good in the re-
ceiver's life. The innate ills of idle
ness are increased That which is
more or less a material misfortune
is turned into a moral disaster.
do not hesitate to say that tens of
thousands of people in these islands
have learned, or are learning at this
very time, to live without work and
for the young people especially, this
is a most disastrous experience"

Uncertainty of the food supply, paw
ticularly In the industrial areas, also
has had much to do with this change,
which Is in direct contract to the
ideas prevailing prior to the World
War, for then the majority of the
German families appeared to plan
to have as many children as pos
sible.
In 1894 the average birth rate
in Germany was 26 to every thou
sand of population. This added S00,-
900 babies year to the empire.
But the rate began to decrease
almost as soon as hostilities opened.
and during the war the surplus OF
deaths. including those killed in BAT
tle over the newly born increased
from one In a thousand in 1915 TO
ten in every thousand when the
fighting was at its height in 1918
The first year after the war the
birth rate again began to show
an increase. and 1t reached its MAXI
mum in 1920 with 26 a Thousand.
For the years since have averaged

BERLIN, Feb. 1-Judging from
vital statistics the idea of birth
control would appear, to a limited
extent, to have been adopted in
Germany. Particularly does this
seem TO be the race in Berlin and
other cities whore, for several years,
he birth rate has fallen below the
death rate, while it is only in the
rural and outlying industrial dis
tricts that the tendency to bring
forth children has returned to any
thing like normalcy.
The "thoughtless production" of
children so characteristic of the Ger
mans and other Europeon nations
some years ago is gradually disap-
pearlng, in the opinion of Professor
Heinrich Silbergleit. who contends
that people living In the cities do
not care to have their social aeti-
vities handicapped by large families.

"red tape" from the care of Amer.

by a complete revision of all relief
laws will be recommended to Con
gress. by the special Senate commit
tee which investigated the United
States Veterans Bureau, it is said
The new code will practically re

awarding relief. 1t was prepared
by Senators David A. Reed, Repub
lican, of Pennsylvania; David J
Walsh. Democrat. of Massachusetts
and Tasker l.. Oddie. Republican o.
Nevada. all experienced lawyers.
The major changes already agreed
upon by the committee include:
1. Elimination of all "red tape
from the disqualification of veterans
by authorizing the admission to vet
Grams bureau hospitals of all veter.
ans suffering from wounds or sick
ness. ~
- renShifting the burden of. .sproof'

on practically all claims of compen
sation.
3. Authorizing contract" officers
to safeguard the rights of veterans
who claim exemption.
4. Increasing the rate of compen.
sation to disabled veterans under GER
tain circumstances, and
5. Reductions of compensations
where veterans are able to earn sal
aries from outside sources.
The most important change to be
recommended by the committee will
be the proposal to hospitaolize all
sick and wounded veterans. Under
this recommendation every veteran
would have the right to free hos
pital treatment at the nearest bureau
hospital. He would not have to prove
his sickness or service origin. II
would also admit thousands of she'll
shocked and tubercular veterans who
were unable to provide exact medi
cal proof that their condition was
due to army service.
