SLUMP IN GERMAN BIRTH RATE
LONDON, Nov. 2. — An alarmln
slump in the birth rate in Germany i
checking the population by more tha
700,000 souls a year.
Figures published by a Germa
weekly show that the births in th
empire fell from 1,800,000 in 1916, a d<
crease of more than forty per cent.
This decrease added to the hug
mortality of the war will probably pu
the actual decrease about 1,500,000 i
the last year.

^FAIRBANKS BO! IS1
KILLED IT TIE
FRONT
As never before the horrors of the
war are beginning to come to Fair
banks, with the news of the death of
Percy Blanchfield. In a letter from
Percy's father at San Francisco. Fa
ther Monroe was the one to whom the
I sad news came. To all who knew the
J young man, who saw him grow from
boyhood to manhood in the north and
I watched him go through school and
I graduate with honors from the Fair
banks high school but four years ago,
the news comes bb a terrible 'shock.
He died a hero's death for democracy.
Fie is the first Fairbanks lad to go. |
Others will follow and the sadness 1
will grow, but there will ever be the
living gladness that the boys of the
north are not wanting when called.
Percy Blanchfield was but 20 years
of age. He spent all his life In the
north and received practically all of
his education in the public schools
of Fairbanks. After graduating from
high school, with his family, he went
outside.
Not satisfied to wait for the Ameri
can troops to get into the struggle,
“Old Brick,” as he was familiarly
known by the boys who grew up with
him, enlisted in the Canadian army.
For some three or four months he
was on the western front befdre los
ing his life.
It was only a week ago that George
Hering received an optimistic letter
from Percy, telling of conditions, his
hopes for a safe return, etc. It was
a typical letter of the men at the front,
showing no fear, no dissatisfaction, no
thing but optimism and determination.
The letter received by Father Mon
roe, telling of Percy's death, written
by the father of the boy, is in paM, as
follows:
"I am writing you a few lines to
convey to you the saddest news I
ever sent anyone in my whole life,
j My dear boy, Percy Joseps, was re
[ ported officially killed in action near
Lens City on August 25. May the
Lord have mercy on his dear s-?ul. I
am, to say the least, heartbroken, and
simply disconsolate over my loss. He
was fighting to help dear old France
against her old-time enemy, and one
more dear young life was sacrificed
for the cause of democracy. You will
never know how awfully sad I have
been since I lost my dear wife a year
ago, and especially since this news
of the death of Percy Joseph just
reached me.
hflv ininod thn PanoHlan {»
11 fantry a year ago last July. I had
St all arranged lor. him to work his
.way through the California University
as a stenographer, and he was about
to return here and enter college when
5 he was called to France. He wanted
s to see and take part in the greatest
1 war on earth, and he fought with the
gallant Canadians, who especially cov
1 ered himselves with imperishable
5 glory at the Lens battle and Hill 70,
" where, as our San Francisco papers
state, it was one of the greatest bat
- ties of the war. It was more a meas
1 ure of the Germans by the Canadians
n than a battle, for a whole division of
the Prussian guard was simply cut
to pieces, and to the eternal credit
of the Germans, they charged the Can
adian position at Lens, taken from
them by the Canadians, ten different
times and were, as the papers stated,
crushed like flies. Waterloo was not
in it with the awful carnage and ter
>. rible fighting there.
“The American troops here were
- thrilled with the magnificent fighting I
done by the gallant Canadians in the
battle of Lens and Hill 70, which last
ed four or fiveidays. It started on
August 15, and the boy got through
that and was killed In action on Aug
ust 25, and the further details I must
wait for.
“Only last night I received a letter
from him written shortly before his
death, in which he said he was pre
pared to die. If needs be."
