THE EMPIRE’S FATE.
DISTURBING PREDICTION. Received September 14, 1.15 p.m. LONDON, Sept. 13. The end of the British Empire was predicted by Commissioner David Lamb, of tlm Salvation Army, who, in an address to the British Association, cited Sir Josiah Stamp’s statement that a stationary population felt the impact of science more severely than a growing one. Commissioner Lamb added that science was partly responsible fur the stationary or declining population threatening the white races. This decline sounded the death-knell of the British Empire, which could not be held and developed in the face of the steadily increasing population and pressure elsewhere.
