FRANCE WANTS
TO INCREASE
PARIS, Oct. 21. — The population
problem is passing from theory to
practical effort in reawakened France.
Sociologists, savants and scientists
had for years before Hie war pointed
out the dangers of a declining birth
rate. Nothing was done, however, be
yond the appointment of legislative
. commissions that never reported, and
• so far as the general public was con
cerned il does not seem the danger
was re ilized until the Hermans made
it real anil operative at Charleroi by
sending against the left wing of the
allied armies masses of troops suffi
cient to overwhelm them.
Heroism, aided by different circum
stances, prevailed against superior
numbers in the battles of the Marne
and Nancy. In another ease the con
tribute. ..in " lances might be lack
ing and heroism without numbers
might not prevail.
Wa it in| ere l ai Charleroi, say the
1 in I ei ■ el the question, might have
been ••■il in li nres before the war
when He- tatisiii showed three Her
man I in lor ew-rv Frenchman. For
the n.ainteiiauce of peace after the
war lie \ hold, treaties may not be re
lied upon. The most potential deter
rent will be an increased number of
soldiers.

There is as much difference i n Ranges as there is in horses. All
Ranges have flues, ovens, ash pan s. etc. You can't judge a Range
from a printed description any more than you can judge a horse that
way. You have to see them to un derstand why one Is cheap at the
price, and another Is dear at any p rice. See the MAJESTIC display
