MILFORD GARAGE BURNED
Fire Wipes Out Entire Contents OF
Roosa Garage on the Boulevard

Fire Wipes Out Entire Contents of
Roosa Garage on the Boulevard
Fire, of unknown origin, de-
stroyed the garage owned and op-
Grated by Alex Roosa on the du-
Pont Boulevard. The entire con
tents of the building were con
sumed by the blaze. Seven auto
mobiles, anci a large quantity Of
tools and equipment were burned.
Insurance was carried n the build
ing and tools, but the automobiles
were a total loss. Mr.. Roosa is
unable to account for the blaze.
He was in the building about 5
o'clock Sunday afternoon, but not
after that time. The fire was dis
covered shortly before 9 o'clock, at
which time the entire place was
burning brIskly. During the past
few months the owner has missed
tools and equipment from the gar
age, and it is his belief that some
person was in the building for the
purpose of stealing something, and
that a carelessly dropped lighted
match ignlted the building. The
Carlisle Fire Company responded
to fight the flames because of lack
of water.

Cannon Fodder

One of the most popular and at the same time
of the most dangerous illusions of the nineteenth
century the notion that the Importance and
prosperity of nation to be measured by its rate
Of population increase.
Bismarck prided himself on supplying an ever in
creasing crop of potential cannon fodder" That
willy Russian diplomat Alexander Izvolski looked with
JOY upon the hordes of Russian peasants who one
day might be sacrificed to the straits when the
time was ripe Even Roosevelt came dangerously near
TO expressing such views
Between 1870 and 1914 the German empire nearly
doubled in population, while that of France renamed
almost stationary. The Germans overjoyed,
while the French were disconnected. The majority
of commentators of that time congratulated Germany
and shook their heads gravely about the outlook for
France.
1t suggested that she might even be decadent
country. AS an actual matter of fact it France
which was to be praised and emulated. Had it not
been for the remarkable development of economic
prosperity in Germany after 1870 the rapid increase
of population would have produced untold hardship
would have been sef-checked.
Since the war, the French have caught the old
German spirit. They have attempted to stimulate
the birth rate The free-thinking government has
instituted measures to blot out birth control propa-
ganda with ruthleSsness unknown even to America.
We might have supposed that the German re-
publicans would abandon the old imperial philosophy
of bigger and better cannon fodder. But it would
that they have not. The press reports
great excitement and apprehensiveness be-
the German birth rate appears to be falling
Committees have been appointed to deal with this
grave issue:
These committees will report within three months
to the main conference, which then will decide
whether effective measures be taken by the ad-
mniStration or whether the issues must be brought
before parliament"
The movement to increase populations can receive
little enthusiastic support from informed and intel
arguments for it. The first is to increase cannon
fodder The other to create more souls for saliva
ton in the world to
In this day of talk of world peace and disarmament
the fodder line hardly is appropriate. In
growing secular age the soul factory theory scarcely
is tenable.
There is only one sane dogma about the popula-
somewhere between that minimum which is necessary
to carry economic activities in any with rela
tive efficiency and that maximum where population
and economic suficiency are nicely balanced.
No modern country has a population below this
minimum but most have populations which already
stand far above the desirable maximum. What we
need now is alarm over increasing birth rates.
If Germany knows when she is we'll off, she will
search for the cause of the declining birth rate.
she will do so so the operative causes may be
-,ensifed
