WILL NOT STOP. GROWTH
One of the 3asy and natural
exaggerations common when a
great war is raging is the belief
that the loss of life and the de
basement of the ordinary fairs
of the nations Involved, must
cause a marked decrease in the
population, says the Cleveland Lead
er. On the contrary, it does
not wholly stop thq natural
Increase, except in a country like
France where there }s practically
no gain In time of peace, save a
little by Immigration. France is
the only great country involved »"
the present war .which will not
continue to gain population, un
less the conflict becomes san
guinary beyond precedent and be
**.&•«
Russia haa a natural Increase
of about 2,200,000 or 2,300,000
annually. The waste of war can
not make much impression upon
such growth. It may possibly !•<?
cut down to 1,500,000 a year, but
the Russian Kmpire will contal
many more people when the war
ends than it did when Jiostiliti'js
****"
Germany's natural gain Is about
800,000 a year. The losses in
battle and from camp diseases and
the check upon the increase lu
population which comes from war
conditions affecting marriage and
birth, wlU not offset more than
half a million of this annual
growth. Much the same state of
things exists In Austria-Hungary,
where the natural increase is less
than it is in Germany but the
ioases of war are also likely to
be smaller,
France alone, of the great pow
ers engaged in the work of de
struction, will lose population
while the war goes on. There is
no margin of births over deaths !u
time of peace and little growth,
even by immigration, to offset the
losses of war.
The United Kingdom has an an
nual increase, in time of peace, of
from 300,000 to 350,000 but Us
losses from battle and disease due to
army service acd other causes in
cident to war, will probably be
comparatively small and can hard
ly exceed 200,000 a year, at worst
So even in countries bearing the
strain and losses of a terrible and I
unprecedented conflict life will
•till prevail over death, as a rule
with only one conspicuous excep
tion. The world will still be going
forward where its progress is mast
retarded and its waste is most de
plorable.
Death Penalty For
Crime Century's
Disgrace
By Mist GAIL VILSON of Chicago
Theotophicil Association
CRIME IS A DISEASE, AND IT
IS THI DISGRACE OF THE
CENTURY THAT WE STILL
ALLOW THE DEATH PENALTY, A
COMMUNITY IS MORE BRUTALIZ
ED BY THE INFLICTION OF
HARSH AND CRUEL PUNISH
MENTS THAN IT IS BY THE OC
CURRENCE OF THE CRIME IT
SELF.
, The old point of view in the
treatment of the lawbreaker, to
which many people still cling so
tenaciously, was to allow the courts
and the code to apportion the pen
alties for crime, wnich were in all
cases retaliatory and revengeful,
where the offense was against prop
erty or human life. The new point
of view Is now DEMANDING THE
VERY BEST THAT SCIENTIFIC
BESEARCH AND INTELLI
GENT STUDY CAN PRODUCE
for the betterment of life in a prac
tical way,
