Decrease of Population in France.

While the population of nearly all
countries is increasing, the indications
are that at the end of the present cen
turv France will have smaller num-
Der of people than now. Though the
population has considerably increased
since 1906, the ratio of increase has for
some years been declining at an alarm
ing rate and the average number of
children to Il family is now less than
two. The marked decrease in the pop
uatiOn seems due TO the fact that
while the ratio of births remains about
the same AS in former years the NOR
tality, especially Of infants, has in
creased enormously. Like other cities,
those of France, particularly Paris,
draw "A large part of their population
from the country districts, and what
ever affects the population of the latter
affects the former. The rate of infant
mortality for the whole of France is
now ID per cent, and in Normandy y
per cent. 1t is plain to be seen that
unless some means is found by which
this percentage can be reduced the
fear that. the beginning of the twentieth
century will see less number of peo-
pie in France than live there to-day
will be realized. CNcinHaH Times
