RACE SUICIDE IN GERMANY.

Berlin, Germany, Dec. 21.-As a
result of computations recently COM
pleted it is found that the birth rate
in Germany is decreasing. and socio-
logists are anxiously drawing atten-
tion to the menace of race suicide,
Last years birth rare for every 1000
of population throughout the empire
was only thirty-three, as against
thirty-six for the decade ending with
1890, and forty-two per 1000 in 1875,
The decline is attributed partly to
the increasing reluctance of prosper
Gus persons, especially in the cities,
to accept the burden of raising large
families, The unfavorable showing
is causing some concern among the
statisticians, who point out that a
continuance of this rapid decline in
the birth rate would bring Germany
ere long to the condition of France,
where the population has ceased to
grow.
