The Suicide Rate.

The Medical News states that the
suicide rate in European armies far
exceeds the rate of the country to
which the army belongs. The Ger
man army has a suicide rate of go
per million; the Italian army, 400;
the BeIgic. 24O; the English, 23O; the
English-Indian. $50; the Russian,
200; the Spanish. 40. The English
Indian rate is due to the depressed
and suspicional states produced by
moist heat. The suicide rate of the
French army of the interior fell from
40. under the empire, to 200 under
the republic. The African army of
France has a rate of $50 per million,
probably from causes similar to
those affecting the English-Indian
army. The increase of suicide among
Americans in the Philippines is in the
same direction.
The United States suicide rate is
double that of the Irish and about
one-half that of the English.
