a slow increase in the population, rep

Now there Is an actual decrease III
the population.
Last week there were 10000 more
deaths than births in France. Out or
population OF 100000 only 1907
900 children were born, or $4,000 less
than in 1906. The number Of births
was lower than IL had been for over

This decline has been gathering mo-
mentum for forty years. Since l9oO
the fall has been extraordinary, and
the number of births has decreased al
an average rate OF 10000 each year
