WAR'S WRECKS.
FRENCH CHILDREN SUFFER. A DECLINING BIRTH RATE. By Telegraph—Press Assn .--Copyright Received Oct. 25, 1.10 a.m. London, Oct. 23. In connection with the Peace Treaty's demand that Germany shall hand over 140,000 milch cows and 10,000 goats, British women have presented to the Reparation Commission influentially signed memorials expressing horror at the effect the cessation of cattle will have on German babies, aggravating seriously the present grave shortage of milk. On the other hand, the French Academy of Medicine points out that 8000 out of the 18,000 school children in the invaded areas of France have become hospital cases during the war -period, mostly owing to tuberculosis. Meanwhile the birth rate haa dropped 60 per cent, owing to infant mortality.— Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
