SUICIDES In THE ARMY.
The Number Is Decreasing Every.
where Except I'm the Rus
sian Empire.

A French student has been investi-
eating the subject of suicides in the
armies Of Europe, and has reached
some curious results. Everywhere,
except in Russia, the number of mill
tary suicides is decreasing; in that
country, however, the average for
some years past has been 1873 in every
900. In France the proportion
now is Is in 100000; in Italy "a; in
Germany, Sc; and in Austria, 105 to
every 100000. In civil life in this
country the Germans provide the
largest proportion of suicides; it is
curious to find them surpassed in Eu-
rope by the Austrian and Russian sol
diers.
The different arms of the services
commit suicide in differing proper
lions. In the French army self-mur--
der is commonest among the men of
the Foreign Legion, of whom 90 in
100000 commit it yearly, and least
common among those of the Garde
Republicaine, only IA of whom kill
themselves to each 100. 900. The
French cavalry provides more sui
cides than does the infantry, the in
fantry more than the artillery, and
the engineers the smallest number.
In the British army the suicide rate
is about % to the 100000 at home and
30 per 100, 600 in India. In 1e9S-99 the
rate in our regular army was about
AZ per 100000; it is lower now. the
