Pletava, and continues:
",In engagements in the region west
of Aschleala the Turks surrounded a

A despatch from London says: The
Danish newspaper Ribestifts Tidende

investigation that the belief prevails
in 'Germany that, it is impossible to
continue the war to the end of 1916.
Many in Germany believe that it can-
not be maintained through the surn.
mer, the paper asserts, and con-
tinues:
"The rations of the German sol-
diers were cut six weeks ago. Meat is
becoming i•are, bread is limited to 12
ounces daily and food parcels from
the soldiers' homes are now forbidden
lest the civilians themselves suffer.
"Desertions are numerous, and they
include officers. Socialism is spread-
ing amazingly among the troops.
Slackness of discipline is evident, re-
sulting from the extremely harsh
treatment. The shorbage of horses
necessitated the reducing of gun
teams. "Ammunition and arms, how-
ever, continue to be produced M in-
credible quantities."

en that the war has had a striking
effect on the number of marelages.
For some years past there has been
a steady though email increase in the
popularity of marriage, but each
year has only seen a rise of a decimal
point or two. Thus 1914 showed an
increase in the norther of marriages
over 1913 from 15.7 per 1,000 to 15.9
per 1,000.
Cotnpared with this slight rise, the
increase in the preportion last year
of no less than 3.5 per.1,000 isi e'xtra-
traordinary. In round figures lb means
that in addition to the normal number
of marriages for the year there were
no fewer than 80,000 war brides.

what melancholy reflections. Por
many years past strenuous efforts
have been made to reduce the heaVY
waste of child life. So successful have
been these efforts that the infantile
mortality, which in the '90s ranged
about 150 per 1,000 birthe, has fallen
to about 100 per 1,000 births.
