DECAY OF FRANCE
Annual Total of Births Exceed
ed by Deaths.
NATION EATS ITS CAPITAL
BefinPd Selfishnes. Which Began
With Richest, Reaches Down to
Poorest Peasant High Cost
of Living One Cause.
PARIS. July IT. Rare suicide has
become a reailty in France instead of
a threatened peril to the nation's mili
tary and Industrial strength. Figures
for 1907. recently completed, show that
the number of deaths in the year was
793.000 and the number of births 774.
n. In other words, the deaths ex
ceeded the births by 19.000. In J90
births exceeded deaths by 26.6S0. The
birth rate of the country lias been
steadily decreasing for many years,
and French statesmen who have noted
the decline nnd have tried to prevent
it are greatly stirred by the actual
existence of an excess of deaths over
births. Writing on the subject the
Paris correspondent of the Iondon Pall
Mall Gazette says:
Means Loss to Army.
"On the morrow of the war France
seemed to be repeopllng herself as if
nature were anxious to fill up the de
pleted ranks of her army. Then the
births represented Sfirt.uOO a year. Alas!
this ardeur reparatrlce was abated. In
JO years the natality tables have fallen
the newly born. Well may one of the
papers say that death triumphs over
life. Obviously. it Is a case of living
on one's capital a certain number of
yeara and every sou is eaten. An arti
cle In I.e Matin calls attention In grave
language, supported by grave figures,
to the same subject. Its author is M.
Messlmy. who is an authority on mili
tary mattes. The writer points out
that if the present low rate of natality
continues, and the dead overtop the
living, in IS or 20 years there will be a
loss of 50.000 to fiO.OftO men In the army
effectives. M. Messlny. It may be In
teresting to note, proposed in an arti
cle which made a great sensation at
the time to fill up the gap by establish
ing conscription in Algeria and Tunis.
This. Indeed, would be an extraor
dinary solution.
4
Plot's Proposed Medals.
"The full gravity of the crisis is
realized when one proceeds to an ex
amination of the figures. In seven
years French natality has fallen from
i0.000 to 774.000. that is to say. 12.0-10
per annum, statistics for 1907 are not
yet published, but the general figures
are known: it is known, also that the
year holds the record for a low birth
rate. There were no epidemics, and
the general state of the public health
was good. N-ver since the commence
ment of the nineteenth century has the
total of children come into the world
In one year fallen below KO0.00O.
"It Is the custom In France to treat
s a huge Joke the efforts of Senator
Plot, which have been unrelenting for
years past, to remedy this state of
things, to arouse the public conscience.
But alas! Senator Plot Is as powerless
as Sirs. Partington with her mop to
keep out the Atlantic. He proposed a
system of medals for mothers, special
grants to fathers of large families, as
well as a lowered taxation for the
householder with a full quiver, but.
alas! these things are of no avail to
stem the current of natality, which is
fast running out.
Cause Is Refined to Selfishness.
The cause underlying the dwindling
birth rate of France Is overclvtlisatlon,
a refined sensitiveness and a refined
selfishness. No one wishes to have big
families, because the difficulties of life
are thereby augmented. The move
ment, which began at the top of so
ciety, has now reached the bottom. The
peasant, with the thrift and the some
what cynical avarice, which. I am
afraid. Is a common characteristic, re
fuses to be burdened with more than
two children. Why should we want to
multiply mouths when there Is nothing
to put Into themT say these peasant

45 feet distant, and long-distance fly

ond. 76 feet.
philosophers. And It Is very hard to
answer them. If you reply: The state
has need of your children: France must
keep her rank among the nations of
the world, the obvious answer of the
peasant Is: Then let the state provide
for the children. Since the highest in
telligence in the land has begun by
restricting its families because to In
crease responsibilities means io add
Immeasurably to the burdens of life,
to weight oneself In the struggle for
existence, to hopelessly clog the career
of the professional man It can hardly,
with logic and consistency, reproach
the lower elements of the nation for
having followed Its example.
Cost of Living Increases.
"It Is certain that the cost of living
Increases in France. During the last
20 years nearly every item in family
expenditure has risen in price. Though
the country is. happily, in a state of
profound peace, the national Indebted
ness grows no less. Whereas. Mr.
sAsqulth announced the other day in
the House of Commons that, next year,
the public debt of Kngland would stand
at the level of 20 years ago. no Prime
Minister In France would ever have
the hardihood to make a speech of that
sort. It would not be true.. The re
verse is true. As M. Harduin points
out. one of the reasons uilderlylng this
difference Is that in Kngland no private
member of Parliament may propose a
scheme involving the expenditure of
public funds. In France this is not
the case. Half a Deputy's popularity
and position come from the fact that
he can r.nd does propose public expen
diture. When there Is a dearth of em
ployment In his department. It Is easy
It Is indicated., an the medical term
Is to suggest that so many hundreds
of millions be devoted to the construc
tion of a canal or some other great en
terprise, which nobody wants,- but for
which everybody w-ill have to pay.
Time Must Bring Solution.
"I: Is not to be supposed, however,
that any change in the constitution of
France or in the privileges and restric
tions of her legislators could have the
least effect on the population tables.
The matter has gone much too far for
that. Some slight effect may be caused
among the truly patriotic section of
the French public, owing to the pub
licity given to the question, but I im
agine that time alone will bring the
true solution. That solution lies in the
fact that, soonor or later, all the na
tions in Europe will be faced with
similar phenomena. The birth rate all
over the civilized world shows a ten
dency to diminish in a more or less de
gree. In France it is more because
of the advanced Intelligence of the peo
ple; that is the real reason. When
other natrons are In the same case. It
will cease lo be dangerous."
PACIFIC MAIL LOSES MONEY
Annual Report Makes Poor Show
ing for Company.
SAN .FRANCISCO, Aug. 1. According
to the annual report of the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company Just published the
receipts of toe company for the last fiscal
year were H2S.S17 less than its expendi
tures for the same period. Local business
men interested in the trans-Pacifle trade
view this statement with alarm owing to
the ruling of the Interstate Commerce
Commission requiring the railroads to
make public their rates on transconti
nental freight inbound from the Orient.
The Santa Fe and Southern Pacific rail
roads have begun the printing of their
rates an ordered and will have them
ready to go in force November 1. Of
ficials of the road explain that these rates
will make the charge for hauling goods
consigned to the Orient the same for the
trip to the Coast as that on goods "con
signed to Pacific Coast points. Goods in
bound from the Orient, however, will go
east from the Coast at a lower rate than
that paid bv domestic shippers using the
railroads only, as there can be no ques
tion of discrimination of rates raised.
Railroad officials state that with these
rates published the steamship companies
will have a smaller percentage than
ever of the total hauling . charge on
freight from the Orient to the East, and
say that the existence of the steamship
companies is threatened.
Steamship company officials say that in
order to hold the Asiatic trade they must
have the power to work with the rail
roads In cutting rates. Without this, and
with the railroads taking a fixed charge
on all freight from the Orient, they de
clare that they cannot meet the competi
tion of foreign steamers.

PASSES OFF AS AUNT MAY
Forced by Lover to Swear Falsely
Against Rival, She Stands Trial,
While He Confesses and
Goes to Hall.
NEW TORK. July 25. Although her
sorrow and humiliation at the break
ing up of her once 'happy home are
jrreat, Mrs. Frederick Clarke's love for
her husband Is greater, and she said
today at her home, 23 Division avenue.
Mariner's Harbor, as she looked fond
ly at their three pretty children, that
after he finishes his six months' term
in the Richmond County Jail, she will
gladly take him back, although it was
his infatuation for another woman that
landed him behind the bars.
Clarke has already repented his ex
perience with pretty, Mrs. Etta. M.
Whitney, who Is In Jail awaiting a
second trial on a charge of perjury.
He pleaded- guilty, but the Jury in. the
woman's case disagreed. Clarke "was
a Staten Island Rapid Transit Inspec
tor. He is handsome and 32.
Mrs. Whitney Is a merry widow,
youngeV but not more attractive than
Clarke's devoted wife. She has those
black, soulful eyes, olive complexion
and trim figure.
Merry Widow Causes Trouble.
The widow came from Boston a year
ago. not long after the death of her
husband, to visit friends in Mariner's
Harbor. One day Clarke, calling upon
an acquaintance who was 111, met the
dashing young woman, who was act
ing In the capacity of nurse.
After that. 'frequent calls were made
by Clarke upon his sick friend, and
each time he saw the merry widow.
When there was no more necessity for
nursing. . iarke suggested that the
young woman come to bis house to
live. He has an aunt living on Staten
Island, who Is not much older than he.
Often he had spoken to his wife of this
relative, but she had never seen her.
So he went home one evening, with
the widow, and introduced her as
"Aunt May of Long Island."
The widow's advent in the Clarke
home occurred about six months ago.
She had been there only a few weeks
when Mrs. Clarke began to observe
what seemed to be breaches of strict
propriety. One evening, as she passed
the parlor door, she says she detected
Clarke patting the widow's cheek.
Rushing into the room, her eyes
ablate with anger, Mrs. Clarke ex
claimed: That will do. I've seen enough of
this. - Tou. 'Aunt May'" this with a
tone of scorn "may leave this house
at once."
Mrs. Whitney, in tears, hurried to
her room, packed up and left that very
night.
Clarke had a friend. Archibald McAl
lister, a middle-aged married man. liv
ing on South street. Mariner's Harbor,
and there the widew went as a board
er. Mrs. Clarke, satisfied that she had
broken it up. gave no more thought to
"Aunt May."
Clarke often called on the widow in
her new home, till he found McAllister
making love to her. Then he tried to
get her to leave, but failed.
She averred she was afraid to leave
McAllister's home, but swore she still
loved Clarke.
A neighbor's child a girl of 13
strolled Into McAllister's yard a day
or so later. Clarke, who had chanced
along, rushed to Mrs. Whitney and told
her to hurry up and see McAllister
making violent love to a young girl.
When Mrs. Whitney appeared in the
yard the child was sitting upon the
grass a dozen or more feet from Mc
Allister, who was complacently chew
ing a quid of tobacco. A few days
I ter. Clarke swore out a warrant for
McAllister's arrest on a charge of at
tacking the neighbor's child. McAl
lister, protesting Innocence, was tried
before Magistrate Handy at. West
Brighton in June. '
Clarke and Mrs. Whitney both swore
that they witnessed the attack. Under
fire of a severe crsss-examlna tton by
WIDOW WORKS
f Assistant District Attorney Fach. who
had heard of Clarke's Infatuation for
the widow, the two became tangled In
their statements, and the magistrate
dismissed the prisoner.
Clarke and his charmer were arrest
ed on charges of perjury and for two
weeks they languished in jail await
ing trial. The day before that set for
the trial Clarke's conscience went back
on him and he confessed his guilt.
Mrs. Whitney, pale and frightened,
went bravely to trial. She declared
Clarke had put her up to swearing rs
she had against McAllister, threaten
ing to kill her if she failed him. Of
course the people of Mariner's "Harbor
all sympathize with Mrs. Whitney, but
the strange case and its ramifications
will be the talk of the neighborhood
for months to come.
