Meteorology declares that when a "low"
forms adjacent to a "high" there will be
trouble. The same is. true ef sociology.
The people that underbreeds must at last
protect its comfort by barring out the
cheap goods, the cheap labor, and even
the cheap capital, of a neighboring peo
ple that overbreeds. Then on iiia una
side of the barrier the struggle for exis
tence becomes more inte'se than on the
other. Sooner or latteTr a .current sets
in toward the centre of depression,
which is vulgarly known as an invasion.
Against such a movement the decree of a

By the time there are two German
soldiers for every French soldier and two
Russians in uniform for every German, it
will be realized that not pride or greed or
love of fighting embroils the peoples, but
hunger. The last foe of the dove of peace
is not the peacock, the vulture, or the j S
eagle, but the benignant stork. By

The friends of arbitration err in as
suming that wars arise only from pride
and hate and greed. The fact is, some
thing more than the leashing of these evil
passions is necessary to ensure the
world's peace. Those who would lock
the European nations in some federal
framework that would consecrate for all
time the existing frontiers overlook the
extraordinary process which, all unper
ceived, is sowing the dragon's teeth for
future strife.
Every one knows that the progress of
civilization lowers both the birth-rate and
the death-rate. Fecundity is checked by
popular education, the emancipation of
women, the triumph of democracy. Mor
tality is lowered by the progress of the
healing art, higher medical education,
better water and drainage for cities. The
former factors, however, come in slowly,
while the latter may be introduced at a
stroke. Multiply hospitals, universities,
and labratories, fill the country with good
doctors, modernize your water and sew
age systems, organize your sanitary ad
ministration and the mortality rate will
drop at once. The birth-rate, on the
other hand, declines only with extensive
changes in the standards and aspirations
of the masses.
Now, the latest censuses revea.1 to the
startled eyes of the sociologist that the
equilibrum of the European peoples is
being disturbed as never before by the
simple fact that science, sweeping east
ward through the Teutons to the Slav, is
civilizing the death-rate far more rapidly
than democracy, moving slowly in the
same direction, can civilize the birth-rate.
During the last decade of the century the
birth-rate in Austria fell a fortieth the
death-rate a thirteenth. In Hungary the J
shrinkage was a twentieth and an eighth, j
Since Sedan the Germans have moder- !
ated their fecundity a tithe while lowering J
their mortality a quarter. Russia re- J

It is simply a case of loss of confidence
that causes the people to continue the
run today on the Hibernia Savings bank
in San Franciaca Notwithstanding that
all depositors have been and are being
paid in full as fast as they can line up to
the paying window the depositors continue
to draw out their money. Those who are
in touch with the finacial condition firmly
assert that the institution is solid and
that the run is unwarranted. By some cause
the people lost confidence and naturally
under such conditions want ..heir savings.
