CHILD SUICIDES NUMEROUS
Records of q Year in Russia Being
Investigated.
More Than 400 Pupils of Govern
ment schools End Their
own Lives.

st. Petersburg. Aug. CDR. Creldenberg
is investigating the causes OF the many
suicides Of children that have occurred
in Russia Of late years. The statistics
he has gathered show that the causes
are exceedingly varied, ranging from an
American duel 10 such a trivial matter
as lost knife or a broken saucer.
In one year 4SS children in the govern
ment schools committed suicide In mos
cases letters were lett by the children,
from which their reasons may be classed
as follows: Twenty-four per cent owing
10 nervous diseases; 223 per cent for rea-
sons too vaguely stated to enable CLASH
fication; 21.S per cent, trouble with teach
ers and fear OF result Of examinations;
49, per cent. family quarrels. various
misunderstanding at home or in school.
and other causes. 10 per cent
Dr. Creidenberg points out the relation
between the attitude of the government
toward the people and the number OF
child suicides. He only gives statistics
for ST. Petersburg. In 1903. before the
revolution. there were I3 cases in that
city: in 1865. during the revolts. forty-six;
in 1906, when the government began to
get the upper hand seventy-seven: in
1907 when repressive measures were in
full force, Isl. The doctor thinks that re-
action and child suicides go hand in hand

Berlin, Aug. 6.-That the Germans have

seen everywhere in Europe. Fifteen years
ago the majority of tourists were Eng
nsh and American. Now they are Ger

Monte Carlo and the resorts on the
Riviera are thronged with money-spend-
ing Germans in the winter. Monte Carlo
seems especially 10 appeal TO wealthy
Germans. and the majority of players
at the Casino tables in the season not
iafrequently are Germans. Like the
American. the German spends his money
easily. although perhaps he has not yet
acquired that distinctly American trait
Of lavishly overlapping servants.
Thronged with Germans.
Switzerland this summer has been
thronged with Germans. They outnum-
bered the Americans and English. Paris.
too, has had as many Germans as Eng
lish and Americans, and one hears Ger
man on the boulevards quite as much as
English.
The German is a better-dressed tourist
to-day than he was fifteen years ago.
Then he affected Tyrolean clothes and
hats. Now he is got up TO look like a
sporting Englshman. wearing knicker-
bockers and caps of English cut His
spectacles and Baedeker prevent him
from being mistaken for an Englishman.
The Germans do not yet seem 10 have

not English and Americans, with an oc-
casional Frenchman with his family.
Like all other rich people. the Germans
have succumbed 20 the automobile craze
and German automobiles are as abundant
on the highroads OF Europe as American

that the number Of Germans who 20

Carriages and motor cars for shopping

AMERICANS EASY MARKS.
Fall for Suave London SwIndIer's
Game with Frequency.

Game with Frequency.
London. Aug 6-London confidence men
during the summer specialize on Ameri-
cans. It is a sad fact that they find
Americans the easiest marks Of all the
tourists that come to London.
The games OF London's confidence men
have not even the merit Of novelty to
catch their victims. They were old even
when Hungry Joe and Paper Collar Joe
were small boys playing marbles. Never
theless. Americans fall for the suave Lon
don swindler's game with a frequency
that distresses their compatriots who
know London.
Even Chicago men have fallen into the
net Of London's con men. A Chicagoan
was taken in and trimmed the other day
for 500 by one Of the eldest tricks in the
confidence mems bag The confidence
men who work in Chicago may well weep
to learn that a victim so rich got away
from them. to be trimmed over here
One hears only Of the victims who make
complaint to the police They average
one a week through the summer The
numbers who are trimmed and do not
complain are unknown. From the air Of
prosperity that marks the members Of
the "Charing Cross Confidence Mems
Trust" as the brotherhood ls called. Il Is
obvious that this has been a prosper
